Just take your time, and whenever you need the services of first class dentists give Black Bros. a call. Parlors over Dunavant'S Drug Store.

WELL. THE IDEA.
The Antitrust Law and MT.
 Moore.

Hon. Jno. l. Moore, who was elected president of the senate, was asked his opinion of the antitrust law Dr. Moore declared that he had given the matter so little study he could not at this time express an opinion. !" MT. Moore continuing, said: II am willing, however, to be led by the opinion of the business men of the state.
 Now, we want to remark that it seems strange to us that man could pass through public life in Arkansas for the last four years and be mixed up with the issues of the day, and es- pecially the antitrust law, which has been cussed and discussed and also been "in the courts" we say it is strange that MT. Moore has no opinion of his own. And yet, he is such a prominent figure, too, as to be elected president of the senate. And he says he will be governed by the opinion" of the business men of the state.
 This might be interpreted to mean about any old thing. If MT. Moore takes the opinion of the Little Rock Gazette as rejecting the opinion of the business men of the state, then he would doubtless be in favor of repeating the antitrust law, or if he apply the term "business men" to the farmers, local merchants and home insurance business, etc., then he will line himself up to stand by the antitrust law that is now upon the Arkansas statutes.
 Well, the idea that man who is so prominent as to be elected president of the senate having no opinion of his own on the most important question that will come before the august body of the general assembly for considera- tioni The idea,-Conway Times.
 The Conway editor must have been trying a new brand when he penned the above. At least he got his ac- quaintanceship of public men very bably mixed, and the criticism is really quite ludicrous. Of course Sen- ator Moore was not quoted, nor did he ever say that he had no opinion of his own on any public question. The interview referred to, and to which the Conway editor takes exceptions, was with Representative Dr. J. w. Moore, of this county, mention of which was made in these columns last week, and for which The Forrest City Times plimented him for his con- seryatism.
 We'll the idea That man who is so prominent as to be the editor of the Conway Times, should not know, when he reads it in the Little Rock papers, that Dr. Moore, of St. Fran cis county and Senator John l. Moore of Phillips county, are two entirely different persons, occupying seats in the separate houses of the general assembly.

 On last Friday night, at the lovely home of Judge and Mrs. Ellis Hurley, they gave an entertainment which added new laurels to their crown, and made good their reputation for de- lightful entertaining.
 The occasion was given over to vocal and instrumental music and readings the latter by Miss Beeland, and the former by Miss Attic Beck, being the feature events, though the program contained the names of some of the best and most talented musicians in the city. This was Miss Atte Beck's first appearance in public as singer, and she acquitted herself very creditably. Mrs. Hurley, who was the delightful hostess; Mrs. Calling, Mrs. Alderson, Miss Dora Vadakin, Miss Vivia Walker and MT. David Dagis have been heard frequently hereto fore, and their splendid execution of the most difficult compositions, and their ability is well known. Miss Jordan has appeared upon several oc- casions during her short residence in Forrest City, and has host of ad- miring friends. She appeared at her best on this occasion, and was roundly encored. Mir Thurman's is new voice in Forrest City's musical doings, and though not strong. is round and sweet, and he has studied it's use to the best advantage.
