seem aware OF the pitfall open for
them should their contention be sus.

OF mental unsoundness OF q temporary
nature, like the Thaw attorneys have
done, they would probably have found
it easier to keep Chester from the only
effective means Of restraint, the strong
walls OF . prison. A big fight is still
on. The father, who is chief attorney
for the defense, wants his son placed

to sell it for even that sum after the

Her gentle presence as she bends over the cradle and the silent influence of her daily life are shaping the entire moral character of the coming gen. eration and thus her education be- comes moral problem. No one is more fond of music than the writer, but life is too short for our daughters to spend years at the music table and then be discounted by the ordi- nary canary bird, Every girl should be given good practical education, a home education; but that does not mean only how to use the dustpan and broom. It means more than the daily routine of housekeeping. The whole mind must be expanded and distiplin- ed by the study of nature and her laws, and of human nature above all things.

Every good citizen should do every thing in his power to advance the growth and prosperity of Forrest City. If you have building lots, build houses on them, or dispose of them to others who will build, at reasonable figures. Scarcely week passes that we do not have inquiries for residences, and ire quentiy there are those who desire business houses. But there are none of either to be had Rents are high and the demand unlimited. Invest ments of this character are sure to be profitable. Therefore, you have the money, build houses.

The merchants of Forrest City have been receiving their immense stocks of new spring and summer goods for sev- eral days, and judging from the attrac- tive exhibitions in many of the stores We believe that every need of our eiti- zens can be supplied from home mer- chants as cheaply and as satisfactorily as from the larger cities. We should all make it rule to buy our supplies from home merchants, if possible, so as to keep the money in circulation here. Money spent in Memphis, St. Louis or Chicago, never comes back, while money spent at home is respent here, and all of us have an opportunity to earn our just share. Patronize home enterprise if you want to see pros perity.

It is surprising, says an exchange, how many families there are all oyer the country who never read anything We don't wonder at some families of children growing up in ignorance. Homes are to be found all over the country that don't take a newspaper, religious or literary. What does five or six dollars amount to in year $ time spent for good papers? Every family should furnish their home with papers. They should at least take a county paper, state paper and q re- ligious paper. When you find a family that reads, they are intelligent and their home attractive.

There is no telling how soon Forrest City could claim 10000 inhabitants if there were residences to accommodate those who are knocking at her doors for citizenship. We believe that a good Building and Loan Association, carefully planned, intelligently officer ed, and liberally financed, would start such building boom in this good old town as has never been experienced before, and in large measure supply the needs of the town along this line. What do you think of it? Let Us hear from you.

The present legislature as a whole seems To be a busineSs-like body, and earnestly trying to earn their money and make Sayory reputation, but it seems that there are many members who are determined and trying every conceivable plan to annoy and harass the saloon men of the state and put them to all kinds of trouble, inconven- fence and expense The Lee bill, the Stevens bill. and several others, are in mind. These bills are unfair and uuprincipled, and should he killed, because they persecute and discrimi- nate against home dealers They can not reach the nonresident, and should therefore legislate so that the money may be kept in local circulation.

The proper education of our girls is one of the most important questions of the present century. It is some thing more than social problem, and is deserving of our best thought. It
 is a civil and political, moral and re- ligious problem. The presence of women constitutes one of the chief charms and benefits of society. It is she who far more than man gives character to society. Into her care have been entrusted the nations fu- ture statesmen, those who are soon to be clothed with authority and to make laws for the greatest nation on the globe, and her education, therefore becomes a civil and political problem.

The lid was on Sunday, and will be henceforth in Foreest City. It is just as easy to buy what you need or want on one If the six other days of the week, and there is no excuse for keep ing open stores or saloons on the Sab bath. We do not favor any radical puritanical measures with regard to necessities, or even fruits, cigars and such things as the people are accus- toned to buying anywhere in the world on Sunday, but we do think that saloons and regular business avo- cations should be suspended on Sun day, and il looks like Marshal Davis intends to see that the law is enforc- ed. He will have the moral support Of every good citizen, no doubt in- cluding the saloon men themselves, in his laudable efforts

That is the proper way to do things. Whats the use of having a separate bill every time you want a train 10 stop? It may be a little trouble and expense and annoying to stop four or five trains a day at sta- tions that don't furnish more than two or three passengers a week, but then it will get the railroads in the ba bit

And still another bill, this one based upon holy sentiment, would put a tax upon the people to build monu- ments to the confederate dead. This bill proposed to put the counties and municipalities in the monument building business and to authorize county judges, county boards and mu- inequalities to appropriate money for the erection of suitable monuments to mark the graves of confederate sol diers, and had no limit nor manner of determining how many monuments. or to whom they should be erected.
