How Iris.

Kentucky has long enjoyed the eel ebrity of producing the purest and best wbiskey made in the world, though unfortunately many dealers take ad. vantage of the good name of the State by misrepresenting spurious goods as kentucky's best product.
 We abhor deception in any form. and our motto has always been to sell none but pure whiskey. conscentiously refraining from the use of oils, chemi. calls or anything else to make common whiskey palatable at the expense of health to the consumer.
 In addition to our stocks of other whiskey we invite your special atten. ton to the
 OLD FORESTER wHIsKEY.
 We believe pure whiskey one of the most valuable medicines extant, and in recommending our Old Forester we say unequivocally that it is all abso- lutely pure, ripe and fine Kentucky whiskey. containing not drop of co. logne spirits or other substance to re- duce it's cost. We believe the Old For ester costs more than any other whis- key on the market, and when quality is considered it is the cheapest to the consumer and contributes most to the good reputation of the merchant who handles it.

Forrest City has been visited by a larger number of strangers with. in the last month than for years The town is attracting the atten. tion ofeapitaiist, prospectors, cm,. grants, farmers, mechanlcs, and other persons from abroad. Thus is perhaps due to the progressive spirit of our citizens and judicious advertising, in which The Times has taken Q prominent part.

Grand Jury Report.

Forrest City, Ark. March IT, 1900 To the Hon. Il \. Hutton. Judge Of the
 Circuit Court of St. Francis county.
 Dear Sir.-in compliance with law we. the undersigned, Grand Jury impaneled ior the March term of the circuit court, respectfully make the following report, to-wit:
 We have issued fifteen subpGneas and examined 39 witnesses and fOnnd IS bills ,f indictment as follows:
 Perjury, 1 burning valuable improve ments, I; petty larceny 8; keeping blind tiger, 6; grand larceny, 8; burglary, 2 :; murder. 3 total, IS.
 POOR HOUSE.
 We appointed committee composed of three of eur members. namely Messrs. H \. Horton, w. c. Beasley. and J. M. Logan to visit and report upon the poor mouse. They reported the condition good with six inmates, two whites and four colored, who state that they are pleased with their treatment in every respect, es. pecialiy as pertains to their food. cloth ing and medical attention. Three of the inmates are idiOts-twO boys and one gIri-ages about IT, Is and 20 years re spectively. We find that one of the boys causes great deal Of annoyance necessita- t,ng being tied occasionally in order to be controlled. We would recommend that tne county judge secure his admission into the State Asylum as soon as practicable.
 ROADS AND DBIDGEs.
 In regard to roads and bridges we de- sire to state that we have examined the reports of road overseers and find that fl.s, Hs and lar. i'm i,att districts good. others report theirs bad and still others report the condition of the roads and bridges in their districts in a very indifferent condition. We find, also, that out of total of 133 road districts 25 road districts are not reported and possi- bly many of them are abandoned We found no indictments for failure to make report, on account of incorrect de- scription and numbers of road districts as per old road records and failure on the part of the proper county officials io change the names on the register of newly ap- pointed 0verseers, we found no indict- ments against said delinquent road over seers. We hnd, furthermore, that in sev- -eral cases two road overseers make reports for identicaliy the same road number. va rying materially in the details of their reports. To illustrate-ClaIb Askew makes report as oyerseer for district No. II. Telico township, so also does w. A. Weddington. as oyerseer, Tor the same district. The Register ot Road Districts shows that neither Claib Askew nor w. A. Weddington are overseers for said road district. but Nr. Edgar Douglass is recorded as road overseer of said road dis trict, he having made no report whatever.

Southern Cotton Hills,

Southern planters arc greatly encouraged in the future of the South because of the excellent showsng made in cotton mIll build- ing during recent years and the estimate made by the Manufacturers Record of the spindl,s that will soon be in operation. This statement shows that the South has entered upon period of cotton mill bnild- ing which bids fair 10 continue unintcrruptedly for maay years to come. While the organization of new mills may possibly, at least, not be so active as at present, yet the industry is on such solid found- ation, and is commanding such wide attention on the part of the outside as we'll as local capital. that the future pre-eminent posi-. ton of the Southern States us the cotton manufacturing center, not only of this country but doubtless of the world, may be accepted as an assured fact.
 In view of tho progress already made, and of the success which has attended tho development of the textile interests of tho South, it seems ably safe to calculate that the building of newmills and the en- largement of established plants will add an average of 1,500,000 to 100000 spindles year to he South for Inc next few years, and after that still greater increase. A very conservative authority has estimated that the aggregate addi. tion of spindles during tho next 10 years will Do at least 20,0OU, ,00O, which, added to the 5,774,361 spin. dies now in the South, will give Il total of 25,774,361 srindles 10 years hence.
 So long as the South which is 'he acknowledged natural location for cotton manufacturing. is com. pcllcd to find a market outside of its own borders for a large propor. ton of its cotton crop, so long will there be profitable openings in the south for tho establishment of cot. ton mills. In round figures there are about loo, 0,000, ,0OO spindles ih,he world. The South furnishes about three .fourths of the worlds cotton supply, or sufficient, say, expressed in another way, to run 75,000, 900 of tho worlds spindles, and yet has, including the mills now build. ing, less than 6,00O,0OO spindlcs. Even at the rate as adding..2 .O00,- 900 spindles year, which would mean 100 mills with an average of 10000 sp,ndlcs, it would take moro than 30 years for the South to reach the point where it could consume its. present cotton crop, and by that time the world will be demanding of the South not simply l0,000,000 or 12,00O, 900 bales of cotton, probably at least 10000. 900 to 30, 900, 900 bales. The field, therefore, for expansion of the cot ton mill ind dustry is practically un- limited so far ns the south is concer- ned. With due care in the organ ixation of mills that abundance of capital and the best management shall be secured and good locations selected, the cotton mill business ought to offer ono of tho most invit- ing fields for investment which tho world can present.

REPORTS OF MAGISTRATES.


 We find that the magistrates of the county have tried s cases of msdemean- or during the past six months assessing fines aggregating S46S CO., One case in which a fine of S300, was assessed by the magistrate has been appealed to the Cir. cut court, leaving a net balance Of S2oS of fines assessed and paid over t0 the treasurer Of the county. Eight magis. trates report no business transacted dur ing the term. We find also that Wheat ley township has no magistrate at present. In nine cases ot the B tried, one dollar fines were assessed.
 Your grand jury visited the jail in a body, found seven inmates. all of whom expressed entire satisfaction with treat ment, etc. accorded to them. The sani- tary condition is excellent. we take pleas ure in commenting the present manage ment of our jail as above criticism. Expressing our appreciation for the courtesies extended to us by the officer. of the court. we remain.
 Respectfully yours,
 J. M. NICHOLS, Foreman. OTTO E. KoIIwAGE, Clerk.

The Forrest City times., 1900-03-23

Upon investigation we find that Mir. Edgar Douglas is not citizen of this county, having moved nut of this county one year ago. We find many other equal. ly fragrant errors in the register and would recommend that ilie County Clerk prepare new register making t conform to existing conditions.
 We find, furthermore. that nearly one half of the road overspers who have rr- ported state that ne work was done on either road or bridges in their road dis. tricts. others report one days work. some two others three days work within the past six months. In view of above ad mitied facts that nearly one-half of the road overseers report no work done at all, we deem 1t best Co call the especial atten. lion of the county judge to such cases with a view that said road oyerseers be instructed in regard to their duty to the county or be displaced by others. We are of the opinion that law authorizing the county judge 10 employ a person as . road commissioner whose duty it shall be to devote his exclusive time to examine and report the condition of every road district to him at frequent intervals in order that he may direct the improving and keeping in good repair all of the roads and bridges of the county. believing that such a law would promote the best inter. ests of the county. A committee of three composed Of men. bers of our grand jury, appointed by the Foreman. examined the books of the County Clerk and report they are being kept in the most approved style and man. ner-except the Register Of Road Dis tricis.
 We append herewith report Of County Commissioners, who have examined the books of county officers in minute detail, reporting very satisfactory condition of affairs as follows:
 REPORT OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. In St. Francis county Circuit Court, March term, 1900. His Honor, Il. N Hutton, Judge.
 The undersigned by your honor ap- pointed commissioners of accounts, beg leave to present the following as their re. port tO-wit:
 We met at the office of the clerk of the Circuit Court on the date fixed by law and proceeded with the duties required of us. We find that all revenue, fines. and ac- counts. due to the county have been paid over by the officers responsible for the
 
 receipts therefor are on file.
 We have examined the allowances made by the county court for the @ past quar-, ters, and find that the judge has been care. ful and economical, in the conduct of county affairs.
 We congratulate the county on its i'm. proved condition both morally and iinan. cially as evinced by the greatly increased value of our county scrip. We attribute this to three causes, namely, we have had but few expensive criminal cases during the last year, the rapidity with which the business Ot the Circuit Court has been dispatched, and the economical policy pursued by our efficient county officers. We have been delayed in making this report on account Uf sickness of two of our members. J. E. SANDERS,
 T. J. DAVIS,
 Commissioners.
