From the wide verandas that surround
the mammoth structure wonderful
panorama spreads before one. Many
of the state buildings, with their giant
aud magnificent structures, present
their most attractive facades. Some Of
the foreign buildings may be seen, and
the forest Of towers and turrets domes
and minarets, rising above the great
exhibit palaces and seen through the
forests of real trees that surround the
hostelry give TOKEN Of the other glories
that lie beyond.
A leisurely walk Of five minutes will
land the visitor on the main terrace in
front Of Festival Hall, the center of
the "main picture" Of the Exposition,
the grandest spectacle ever produced
by man. Another five minutes walk
and the visitor may find himself on
The Pike, street OF amusement full
mile long, With the shows of all nations
in gay and enticing array.
Iu the ten minutes walk many of
the main exhibit palaces have been
passed, These comprise the largest
and grandest collection of architectural
triumphs ever assembled IN any one
place. Notwithstard.ng its close prox
unity to these scenes of gaity and
splendor, noise and confusion, the In-
side Inn offers a delightful retreat,
During the noon hour the visitor may

n Point of Prosperity.

An air Of general and encouraging
prosperity is abroad in our county and
has settled with apparent permanency
upon Forrest City, her people, indus
tries and institutions.
We are not compelled to travel far
nor mingle but little with conditions
about us, to come abreast Of facts
which lend healthy vigor to our most
sangnine hopes and expectations as to
our future greatness. EVERYWHERE are
visible the tendencies Of a healthy.
growth and stable advancement along
most conservative and profitable lines.
No fact is surer index of the gener-
al prosperity, nor reflects more aCcu-
ra ely the communty's financial wei
fare, than does the strength. growth
aud increasing Importance of our
financial institutions. They are the
pulse of the commercial body.
AS striking illustration of our
v.rile, commercial and Industrial ad
vancement. and notable improvement
in the wealth of our city, we note with
astonished satisfaction the rapid In
crease in the volume of individual de-.
posts in the Bank of Eastern Arkan-
sas from Sl2l, eco in 1902, to s225, 000 in
1904, an increase of over 100000 in the
short period of two years.
The wise and conservative manage
ment of this institution warrants the
confidence which thls marvel
Gus increase signifies, and reflects
credit at large upon the soundLess and
safety Of our business world.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-02-08

Not since the Spanish-American war have the people of Birmingham shown so much interest in the troubles of two countries as is exhibited In the news from the far east where Japan and Russia are on the verge of wsr.
 Last night the Age-Herald telephone was kept busy until nearly Il o'clock by persons making inquiries for the latest war news. Nine out of ten of the persons who ask for the news of developments apparently side with Japan and frequent ly continue the telephone conversation long enough to tell the tnan at the new g. paper end of the phone that they here Russia will get badly whipped. Just why the people of Birmingham seem to be pulling for Japan is not easily explain ed except in that Ameriean sentiment which is always in favor of the little dog"
 The war between the RrItons and the Boers while intensely interesting, never created anything like the interest shown in the present crisis. Frequently persons called up the Age-Herald to ascertain the war news then, but there were not one-

 |; Many of the inquirers are persons who are speculating in the stock and provision markets and they want the news at night so as to figure on their trades before the paper comes out the ncx. morning The wheat market seems to be the center Of interest by these inquirers and -fte- ask ing for the latest developments in the war situation they will amend their quos- tion by asking how wheat closed.
 Since the beginning of the trouble be- tween Russia and Japan mheat has gain- ed something like 15 cents a hnshel and weeks ago many traders predicted that 1t would go to $1 5ushel. Spectators arc now confident that the price will go as high as s1.1O by the time the firgt gun is fired.
 The demand for breadstuffs since the be- ginning of preparations of war have been enormous and consequently the price of wheat has gradually crawled upward. Nearly all of the big nour mills in the United States, it is said. are crowded with orders ultimately intended for use by the armies and navies of Russia an: Japan

FUNERAL DELAYED
 BY AN ACCIDENT
SERIOUS DAMAGES NARROWLY INVERTED BY DRIVERS PRES. ENCE OF MIND CARRIAGE LEFT BRIDGE AS IT FELL.

During a funeral Saturday afternoon at Woodlawn cemetery very serious accident was narrowly averted by the presence of mind of driver to one of the carriages
 The procession in entering the cemetery had to pass over a small bridge which spans a stream. It Is about 20 feet from the flooring of the bridge to the stream. The rear wheels of one of the carriages were still on the bridge when the rafters supporting 1t gave way and the bridge fell. The negro driver heard the wood cracking and whipped up his horses, so that the carriage barely reached ground before the bridge gave way.
 The next carriage behind had not started on the bridge. and the driver had to check his horses very sudednly. The funeral was somewhat delayed by the accident. Had the bridge fallen with the carriage on it the result would probably hove been serious.

IS LIFE OR LIVING
 MORE IMPORTANT?
INTERESTING DISCUSSION AT THE MEETING OF THE Y. M. C.. A. SUNDAY CLUB = HENRY JONES DELIVERS ADDRESS.

The Sunday club of the Young Mems Christian association was addressed yes terday afternoon by Henry Jones, vet eran drummer and enthusiastic Christian. The speaker said that the Christian life was happy one because it was always giving happiness to others. He submitted that the pleasure of service was not to be compared to any other happiness.
 The capacity of the assembly room was taxed to it's full seating capacity and several had to stand. The music and sing ing was under the direction of the secre- tary. At the conclusion of the meeting an invitation was given to all who had not done so to accept Christ Several ex- pressed a desire for prayer, but no con versions are reported.
 At the close of the gospel meeting as many as could were invited to attend the fellowship lunch. Seventy-two men re- mained, who, when the repast was fin- ished, were asked to make themselves as comfortable as possible and engage in the discussion of the previously announced subject: (Which Is the Most Important. Making a Life or a Living?"

In this connection C. Fl. Moorman impressed on his hearers how the discipline and self-denial involved in making living, was helpful in making Christian character. 8. The definition of living as given by MT. Moorman, who led the discussion, was: This is life eternal to know the only true God and Jesus Christ. whom he hath sent" 4. The Old Testament passage: For in this do de- light that He knows me-in which God Himself speaks, was made the basis of the pertinent remark We should get &C., quainted with and live for God because He Himself says He desires and delights n our acquaintance"

FIREMEN CHANGE WATCHES. Two Shifts Will be Worked at Night
 Instead of Three.

Owing to the recent decrease in the fire department it was found necessary to make a change in the system of keeping watch at the various stations.
 Formerly there were three different shifts of watchmen each night One shift started at D. m. and lasted until mid night. when the relief came and was on duty until a. m. while the third shift worked from 3 to 6 a. m.
 With the shortened crews on every piece of apparatus, the watches came much more frequently, so the firemen asked that the watches be changed so as to be from D. m. to 1 a. m., and from that hour until a. m. This change was allowed.
 >The members of the fire department find that with six hose wagons, one chemical engine, one hook and lader and four steamers in active work is made much harder by the shortage of men, and that their watches would come more fre- quently unless the change in time was made
