The Times Art Souvenir Supple ment issued last Friday was pleas urable surprise even to it's most opti- mistic friends, and was received with all enthusiasm Of appreciation never before felt by its recipients for any similar publication.
 It has been pronounced creditable by the best critics, aud We have been overwhelmed with personal congratu- lations from citizens of this city and elsewhere, who appreciate our efforts.
 Many friends have called at this office to express to us their satisfac- tion and congratulations: many have used the phone, and others the mail. All are united in pronouncing it not only artistic from topographic stand- point, authentic from an historical, and valuable as to it's descriptive matter. but that it cannot fail to be of vast benefit to this community as an advertisement, if liberally circu- lated. They have very kindly over looked it's shortcomings
 With multiplicity of other duties, We worked hard and faithfully for six months to produce this supplement, and endeayored with all our might and main to make it authentic and wholly reliable as book of reference. But with all the sincerity and care which we exercised, We have discov- cred two very grievous errors since 1t has been issued. II is matter of profound regret to it's editors and pub fishers that there should have been even one error either of omission or commission in the Art Souvenir Sup plement and both are now so palpable and stand out so prominently that we are entirely at loss to understand how We could have made and over looked either of them.
 The first discovered error is in the advertisement of the Forrest City Bottling Works on page l04, where it reads Christian F. Muller, Pro- paietor." While in fact MT. A. Null Ter, has transferred his interest in the plant to his son, the latter, honoring his father, and as mark of respect to him, retains the original firm name. This is commendable in "Chris, and we certainly regret that an error on our part should seem to place him in a different attitude. The advertise ment should have read "A. Muller x Son, Proprietors, and We hope these gentlemen win pardon our awkward mistake.
 The second error is even more grieV- ous and of grave concern On page 39 we refer to the legal and medical pro fessions, and state that Forrest City has eight physicians, naming them. This should have read nine, and the name of Dr. F.. J. P'Poole should have appeared therein. It is entirely in applicable how we could have left his name out of the list, knowing him so well and esteeming him so highly. We beg Dr. P'Poole's pardon, most sincerely, and assure him of our high est regard both as citizens and a physician. He has been our patron, and we believe our friend, ever since he came to Forrest City, and cer tainly this almost inexcusable blum der on our part cannot and will not be laid to intent. Wa would regret ex ceedingly if any person should think for one moment that we would will lingly slight him.
 The following letter from MT. w. II. Bates, of the firm of $. C. Toof & Co.,, printers, Photographers and blank book manufacturers, of Memphis, is highly appreciated, as coming from one who by reason of his ayocation and long experience is supremely qualified to judge of the merits of our Supplement-;

 My Dear Ed:-The' Art Souvenir Supplement is received, and l have just finished going over it page by page, and reading very many of them. The result is a revelation to me. l re- member Forrest City only as "she were back in the seventies. In turn ing over the leaves of the Souvenir l fully realize that you have a town whose citizens do things, and do them with intelligence back of this push, as evidenced by present results as DOT trayed by you.
 l wish to compliment you and your firm on the fine topographic appear ance of the work. It is creditable and Forrest should be thankful for having such enterprising citizens that can make such attractive representations of the country, business institutions and the people living ill it.
 Yours sincerely,
