Look over all the advertisements
this week carefully. The merchants
of Forrest City have made extraordi-
nary efforts this season to supply every
thing the heart can wish. They have
the larges! stocks Of general merchan-
disc eyer brought to this town. and
these goods have been bought for cash
and all discounts saved to the pur-
chaser. The merchants Of this town
are liberal, and will sell you goods as
cheap as the same quality can be had
anywhere on earth. They will pay
the top price for cotton and country
produce, and they desire your patron
age and your esteem. They have their
advertisements IN the Times inviting
you to call on them, whether you want
to purchase or not. Read their az
nonncements and give them a call
when you are in town.

A VICIOUS ASSAULT.
.Danitor George Kaiser Knocked
on the Head With Crow
bar by Vicious Negro
Prisoner.

At three O'Clock Saturday evening a
cowardiy and vicious attempt TO MUIR
der the turnkey, secure the keys, exc
cute a general Jail delivery and him.
self escape, was made by Frank
Walker, a negro con fined in the county
Jail here, charged with criminal as
sault in Cross county, and who was re-
Gently sent here for safe keeping.
1t being Saturday, as was customary,
general cleas.ing up WAS in progress
in the Jail under the supervision of
George Kaiser, the highly esteemed
janitor and turnkey at the court house
and jail.
Walker had been assigned the duty
of securing the corridor of the Jail,
which is outside the cells. He had flu
ished the work, and the turnkey was
in the act of returning the negro TO
his cell-it being necessary TO use a
crow bar 10 open the deor-when
Walker grappltd with him, wrenehing
the crowbar from Kaiser's hands, and
striking him vicious blow on the
head, inflicting an ugly wound and
stunning him.
BY rare presence of mind Kaiser
threw the keys through The CRATE to
the outer corridor, thus locking him
self in with The vicious brute. Being
badly hurt, he called loudly for help.
County Judge Folbre, who lives near,
and happened to be at home, heard the
cries Of the turnkey, and with his
trusty six-sho0ter, hurried to the re-
lief of Kaiser, while Mrs. Folbre tele-
phoned TO the clerks Office that there
was trouble in the jail, and Deputy
Clerk Payne also went to the rescue.
The negro seeing thSt the keys had
been placed out of his reach, made no
further attempt upon the life of the
turnkey, and was finally locked in his
cell.
George Kaiser was painfully, though
not seriously hurt, and now goes about
with his head in bandages.
Sam Davis, another NEGRO prisoner,
made voluntary statement that
Walker was Influenced to commit the
deed by Tom Wall, a white prisoner
who was recently indicted by the grand
jury for murder in the first degree.
being charged with numbering j. w.
Skinner, and whose trial was post.
poned until next term.
This version Of the affair is also cor
roborated by still another negro named
viii Smith.
1t was a narrow escape for George
Kaiser, and he has the sympathy of
the entire community.
The affair created no little excite
ment in town Saturday night, and
there WAS some talk of lynching, which
happily for the negro and the law
abiding reputation of the town, was
quickly sm0thered by cool heads and
friendly ADVICE.

Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel

taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the

effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.

Iii speaking Of the vaials
piano recital given Recently at
Ewing, Neb. by Mrs. Arthur
Dickey, formerly Miss Fern
Roberts of this city, assisted by
Miss Leila Owens of this place,
the Ewing Advocate says in
part:
Miss Owens opened the pro-
gram with a piano number full
of bright lively melody which
put the house in good form.
She is an exceptionally good
pianist and her playing gives
one the impression that results
must come from Interpretation
of the composers idea. She
does not allow the exquisitely
beautiful melody in her selection
to be lost in the elaborate ar
rangement of the accompani-
ment. Although knowledge of
technique was displayed in
| h select 'ons, the absence of
noise effects in the climaxes
was very satisfactory.
When Mrs. Dickey appears in
song her efforts are always fol-
lowed by expressions of marked
approval. Hers is a sweet,
| sympathetic voice so uniformly
pleasing that it matters little
what she sings. She proved
herself more than equal to
Schleiffarth's "a Spanish Love
Song" a song which requires a
clear flexible voice.
