 A Times scribbler took in the For rest City Bottling Works Tuesday. and found MT.

 Hon. S. NJ. Blalock, of Colt, is in the city to-day on business.
 The old shed just west of the Iron Mountain and north of the Rock Is- land railroads, has been razed to the ground. It has been an eyesore and disease breeder for about twenty years and everybody is glad that 1t has fin- ally been torn down. If convenient approaches could be had, that would be very good location for an union freight depot, or for the new Rock Island freight depot, which we under stand Is soon to be erected on the site Of the old frame building which is now being used and dignitied as freight depot.
 A great revival of religion has been Tn progress for week or more at the Baptist church at Colt, with Fl der Arlington, of Ardmore, Indian Terri tory, preaching convincing and con vlcting sermon. We are informed that altogether there has been forty-one baptisms and fifty accessions to the church. Twenty were baptized last Sunday in Morgans Pond, and others on Monday. Several Forrest Cityites drove up to attend the ser vices and witness the ordinance, but arrived too late. We hope much per manent good will result. Elder Ar rington, il is understood, will locate at Colt.

 The picnic committee of the Law and Order League had meeting on Tusday, and instructed Secretary Will ford to enter into correspondence with Hon. E. W. Carmack and others with the view of securing one or more speakers for the occasion. So far none have signified a willingness to come, and no date has been fixed. It seems 10 The Times that Forrest City could furnish several orators for an occasion Of this kind We have them in plen- ty, and they are all swelled up with oratory, il having been long time since any of them have had an oppor- tunity to turn on the safety valve.

 NIT. sam Phillips, q young white man, only l9 years of age, who had been in the South only short time, died near Widener last Sunday of con- gestion. Stevens Bros, of this city, were notified and went to Widener and embalmed the body. It was then shipped to his former home i'll Illinois. MT. Phillips had been sick some time, but was much better, and a.e too heartily, and with indiscretion, thus causing his death. The bereaved have our sincere sympathy.
