Forrest City has been on the up-

The in crease Tn the wealth of the town. and it's general prosperity, must De very gratifying to every enter. priSihg citizen and property own CT. It IS matter of regret, how. ever, that the character of the new buildings, as rule, are on the cheapest order and without archi teotural beauty or symmetry. Would 1t not be we'll to think of these things, and build better houses2 They may possibly cost n httle more, but the satisfaction and Inc pride and the good appearance is certainly worth something to you. Il Is an old and true saving that tho best is the cheapest, but how few persons here seem to think so when they startto tuild n house. Modem construction is almost ab SoIutely essential to sanitation and good health, not to mention the many little comforts and conven. lenees which may be added at a small cost. We think the fault in Forrest City lies mostly with the Contractors, because they do not press upon the prospective builder pans ot modern buildings. The Morning News, few days ago. in scussing this q 'estion, said among other things, "that architects study tae advances in conditions. Men as iule do rot It Is said that when a man essay 5 10 be his own lawyer he has fool for q client. Perhaps tae same saying applies to arehi lecture, At any rate, while you nEo paying out your money for an
