 Bad feeling between the Turks ana Syrians resulted in an outbreak last night. About half past 8 o'clock the whole business part of town was start led by the loud and piercing screams
 t woman and a stream of per- sons curious to learn the cause quick Y gathered in front of the Syrian store. next door to the -Four Hundredu sa- loon. A reporter was soon on ths scene and learned that the woman in the case was Mrs. Sarah Wakin, and that she had been attacked by Abe Malouf. and that he had struck her with some kind of club or stick, and this was the wherefore Of her screams, which were loud and lusty. The city marshal WAS promptly on the scene and soon restored the vicinity to ifs normal serenity. The parties were all fined in police court this morning.
 Bricklaying began oh Mr. Ahlstedts contract with the oil company yester- day afternoon Ut o'clock. Our Mir. Landvoight went down and laid the corner stone, depositing in the north east corner \ copy of the souvenir edi- ton of THE FORREST CITY TIMES, Of 1892, the personal cards Of the editors. the names of the employees in our office at the present time, rose from M1d- anne Boyle, the name Of the contractor, and five pennies. c0ntribn. ted by the wOrkmen present. The cer- emOnies were not very elaborate, but they expressed our good will towards an enterprise which we hope is the key to making Forrest City a manmfactur- ing town 0f no mean ealibre within a very few years. We are under obliga. tions to Mir. koerper, the superintend- enf, for courtesies.
 J. II. Bard has been incidentally tn- (qniring around tO see what interest could be found in the establishment of flouring mill at this place. The first three persons lie approached said they would take stock amounting to three hundred dollars. A mill cxn be erected and equipped. ready to run for $500 with p barrel capacity. and from this price on up to any price according to capacity. This is the finest opening for a practical miller with small capi- tai that we know of. He can get all the help he needs if he can prove his ability to run 1t. The county needs d roller mill We should make our bread at home. Thousands upon thnl- sands of dollars leave tl,is town every year, never to return. for four. meal. corn, hay. oats, bran. chops. cotton s. ed meal. hulls and feedstuffs, which mills will keep at home.
 Mir. and Mrs. Eugeue Rolfe moved into their handsome new residence Sa'- nlday. It is one of the most modern homes in the city, and of style ef architecture quite pleasing 10 the eye and most convenient for the house keeper. The joy of living under ones own wine and fig tree " Is not st;- passed by that of scarcely any oth,r event in the life of a home-lovIng pr.,- pie, and we congratulate our friends upon their COSY home, the judement displayed in it's accoutrements, and their comfortable surroundings. Ne are sorry, however, to learn that the pleasure of moving into their new home was SO soon clouded by solici- tude for the health of a relative. Ga Sunday they received news of the seli. ous illness of Mrs. Snyder. of Jonss. bOro. a sister of Mrs. Rolfe. and she left on the evening train to attend her sisters bedside. News now comes that Mrs. Snyder is improving.
 F. Il. Shepard. of Dyersburg. Ten nessee. was in the city Sunday on d visit to his son. and incidentally look ing after his interests here. He was pleasant caller at our apartments in the afternoon. and spent il half hour very pleasantly in talking over the prospects of Forrest City. Mir. Shep- ard is xn contemplating man of the old school. He believes m progress, and in hustling after factories and every kind of prosperity. We were pleased at the many fattering compliments he paid TIE TIMES. He heartily com mended us for the policy Of our paper and says it is one of the most practical country newspapers he has ever read, and that our uhtiring efforts 10 get fac torres and build up the town deserve the most liberal and cordial support. morally and financially, of the cam- munty. Mir. Shepard will not relax his efforts 10 secure other enterprises for this city. and will probably put in wood working factory iu connsction with the machine shops. We thank hs e, l.so min suporAa
