Revival rleeting.

Get ready for the revival meetings to commence next Sunday at the MethO- dist church. We desire the attendance of all tie pastors and preachers. their flocks, and the people generally; and we respectfully and cordially ask their presence and cooperation. The object of the meeting is the salvation of the people and the good of the town. Such A meeting should haze the support, not only of all Christian people, as such. but also of all leading officials and in fuential men who desire that the social and moral condition of tile town shall be inviting to good andwor,hy citizens abroad. This is an item worth consid. eration. It can be neglected only at the peril of our future welfare as a town. Let our leading men note this we'll.
 But how get ready What prepara- tion can we maker All professed Chris tians who desire and expect revival, should examine themselves their hearts and lives. To be right ourselves with God and man is necessary, if we expect to be useful in inducing others to be religious. Seafch your heart and pray till God shall ft ydu for service Then you will render willing and eifec- tive service.
 Again, arrange your secular affairs so that you can attend tue meetings This is important. Resolve that you will attend, that, God helping you. you will suffer nothing. to sway you from this purpose Let this be part of your daily program, part of your life's business and work. Make some sacri- flee, if necessary, this will add to your interest in the meeting Think how little you have gone to church this year, how little time or thought you have given the cause of Christ in this place this year. Choose an hour in which to think and pray over the matter, and then make up your mind what you will do. 0, God, may thy blessed spirit move nightly upon the heart and con. science of Forrest City.
 Dr. William T. Harris. of Jackson, Tenn, will assist us in the meeting. He is to be present Sunday, the first day. Let every Christian pray for him. Sincerely,
 . ". C. DAVIDSON

 Alderman German brought up tke electric light question. and favored abol- ishing The lights as soon as the present contract expires. He said that |" he for one, was tired o spending the peoples money for something they did not get, y and was in favor of getting the old street lights back again, aud his sentiments seemed to be in accord with the feelings of the entire board. The present electric light system and the service which has been given was deprecated in strong terms by the board, and all were in favor Of taking some decisive step immediately to put an end to the farce.s
 A motion was introduced by Aid. Cor man seconded by Aid. Baugh that the council adjourn until "Wednesday night, when the recorder was instructed tC bring the costract which the city has with the Electric Light Co.,. before the board in order that they might know just what action to take in rhe premises.

Southern Educational Association.

The Christmas Holidays will wit ness the largest assembly of teachers .n the history of the Southern Educa- tionai Association in Memphis. Tenn, December 2s, 29, 90. Arkansas teach- CTS have been closely identified with this body since it's organization. and have been several times honored fy having represehtationameng it's officers. the president of the body at this time being. Dr. Junins Jordan, of the Ark ansas University.
 While. sectionalism .n its invidi0us application is to be deprecated. it must be admitted that the problem of edu- cation in the South and in other sec. tions of the Union differs materially and this very fact led to the organiza. ton of this Association
 Those who shall occupy places on the programme will be men selected on account of their peculiar fitness to dis cuss from the broad standpoint of the patriot and the scholar those questions that are forcing themselves into prom. thence and demanding attention and solution. Southern teachers can III afford to miss this opportunity of aid. ing and being aided in their profession. al labors. and 1t is the earnest desire oi the officers and committees that every Southern State be largely represented
 Especially is 1t hoped that Arkansas shall send full delegation in recoI' milton of the honors that have been conferred upon her by the body, and 1T evidence of her deep interest in tht welfare and success of the Association and the section that it represents.

 Mr..Mervin explained to the board that something over q thousand dollars Of the indebtedness now outstanding had been made in the interest of the Improve. ment District, and that said warrants would be taken up by that institution as soon as it had "gotten on its feet, " and further showed that the actual indebted ness of the city only amounted to little over 5000.
 Councilman Baugh said that number Of persons in the Cook addition to the own and in the Haven Addition, were ciamorng for sidewalks, arid while the council did not really have the funas, he was in favor of making some arrange ments for lumber with which to build new sidewalks and repair the old ones. Al derman Mcdaniel stated to the council that MT. Furguson, Of Franks township. would sell the city all the White oak needed for sidewalks at SIP per thousand Some were in favor of using the white oak but number were against i, and would agree to nothing but eyptess Iumbe. for sidewalks. The most logical views on the subject were offered by Alderman Baugh when he recommended that gravel sidewalks be put down. This is the cheapest sidewalk to be had. and was generally favored by the entire body.
 The rate of water taxes was taken up and discussed at great, length.
