VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.


 ment Association was recently or ganized in Forrest City is being overlooked. At least, it has no, attracted unusual notice nor the attention that it's importance mer- its. The reason of thls may be found in the fact that so many organi- zations and enterprises have been launched hurriedly and Tn an un, dnished or unperfected condition. and have fallen short of accom-. plishing the results which were in. tended. Hurried organisation, without definite intentions, aims, ambitions, objects, means and modes, can hardly ever reach the coveted goal. It must be buildcd like a house-foundation good and strong, first.
 The public library enterprise be came failure simply because there was not definite plan and D beginning at the proper place. Too much haste in such matters is al- ways hurtful to the cause.
 What brings success is persever- ance and continued effort, added to small beginnings. We should very much like to see the Village Improvement Association Q sue. cess. It is a most valuable adjunct to the building of great city. II will promote health and cleanl. ness. It will add beauty to our streets and homes. It will help to make life happier and worth while Finally, it will banish hogs and other animals from our streets and there will be general improve. ments in all thiEgs, including the temper of your wife or your hus- band.
 These associations are being orr ganized in many towns and cities. In the East and North they have been in active operation for half a century, and the work accomplish ed is something wonderful to con- template.
 There are many very interesting and valuable articles published on the subject of Village Improve ment.
 We are indebted to Mrs. John Gatling for the loan of several ar ticles and we have written for others. It is our intention to print some of these ip THE TIMES in the near future. We think the first and most important step to- ward accomplishing what IS hoped for in this organization is to arouse the interest of the citizen and edu- cate him or her to what is expected of them. No lasting organization can be had-no goals reached-by "blind leading the blind" policy. Let us not hurry. Let us study, plan, prepare ,and then build.
 We suggest that someone bring to the meeting Tuesday night q good article on the subject and read it before the Association. And right here let us say that changing back" "waiting to be begged" timidity and too much modesty, is not likely to accom- plish anything. you have good thing, let us enjoy it and profit
