A City Beautiful.

Each and every one should whether they own property or rent residence or place of business, take pride in keeping their premises in neat and sanitary condition, for upon this de- pends health, wealth and happiness. Without the aid and cooperation of the citizens, the city officials can not keep the streets and alleys entirely free from garbage of various descrip- tionS.
 We realize the fact that there are quite a number of citizens who keep their premises in good condition and We appeal to one and all to do like wise, and to show to the world that We can have a beautiful little city, one that all should be proud of We have certain advantages over our sis ter cities in the way of beauty and sanitation. Why not make use of same? You are not only assisting the city officials by doing this, but you make the city better and healthier. It will Increase your business and add to the value of your property. Let strangers and visitors see that we are awake to the occasion. We again ap- peal to you in the name of the city. to get busy and not wait for the city marshal to serve notice on you to put your premises in a sanitary condition. Let us dispense with this for the first time in years. The city is willing and is going to do her part. Don't be a knocker, but show that you are for Forrest City first, last and all the time. When you do this. considering we have the best school in the country, the county seat with d fine court house, an up-to-date water and light plant, modern residences being built. and a sewerage system, we will have no vacant houses, but will have to build great many more, which will bring capital and labor to the city. So long as we are dormant and take no interest in our city and its ad- yancement, just so long the public at large will pass us up. and people look ing for location to live or invest their capital will go elsew here.

INDIVIDUALS AS SURETlES.
Search of the Records of St. Franci, County shows Large Liability
 Assumed by Citizens.

Probably little thought is given b, the majority of people as to how man, bonds are filed during year in the County Court, guaranteeing the hon. esty and fidelity of individuals in DO sitions of trust
 It would surprise those who have been signing bonds for their friends. to know what liabilities they have as. sumed, and are assuming, for no con- sideration whatever. but which lia- bilities are assumed simply because they are good fellows" or dislike to refuse the request of friend.
 A search of the records of the County Court of St. Francis county. shows that from May, 1907 to May, 1908, a period of one year, there were twenty-six fiduciary bonds filed with an aggregate liability of s4O, 1000. Those bonds were filed by twelve admins trators and executors and by fourteen persons acting as guardians. Of this number of bonds not any were execut- ed by surety companies. There are. therefore, about twenty-six persons in St. Francis county assuming a lia- biity of s40,0O0 or an average risk to each person of about s1539. This might seriously inconvenience. if not embarrass, those who have assumed the risk, if loss should occur.
 Business men throughout the coun- try measure mans resources by de- ducting from his assets his liability on bonds, and the custom is growing rapidly each year for person appoint ed or elected to a position in which surety is required, to purchase his bond from a surety company the same as he would purchase his fire Of life insur- ance from company organized for that purpose. and thus avoid becoming ob- ligated to his friends. We are repre- senting one of the strongest and best surety companies in the world, and are prepared to make your bonds at small cost.

 with Barbecue and Picnic.

The Independent Order of Odd Eel lows has lately made itself quite con- spicuous in St. Francis county, and has been before the public notice in a most pleasing manner. The marked interest of its membership in every thing pertaining to its welfare. and the fellowship existing between them has not only attracted the attention of the public, but has impressed an ennobling lesson upon all who have given it thought. It has been aug mented by several entertainments of a high order, and afforded a means of keeping the public eye.
 New lodges have also been organi- zed, and there has been very gratify- ing attendance in this city and at other places in this county, which nearly always included many visiting brethren.
 One of the most enjoyable of these occasions took place on Tuesday of this week at Wheetley, when the local lodge at that place celebrated the First Anniversary of its instala- tion with big picnic and barbecue, at which the multitude was bounti- fully fed, and there was an abundance left.
 Several able speakers made addresses appropriate to the occasion, a numb Der of very creditabe recitations were made by the pupils of the public Schoo,, there was string band and variety of excellent vocal and instru- mental music.
 MT. w. Fl. Miller was honored by being chosen as marshal of the day, and right we'll did he perform the many pleasant duties of his office, in- troducing the speakers and otherwise making himself useful and helpful.
 As usual, the citizens of our little sister city, did all they could to make their guests enjoy their visit, and sus- tained their reputation as one of the most cordial and hospitable towns in the county. Quite a number from Forrest City attended, and the fol- lowing composed the party. Mrs. J. B. Terry and Miss Winnie Stevens with her father, MT R. s. Stevens: Elder Pippin, w. H. Miller, W. K. Nail, B. F. McCrary, Fogg, Orrin Winford, w. A. Pearson, W. E. Kirby, F. NJ. Sattertield, and T. W. McClendon.

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg Iect.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked a sallow- faced, sickly looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake we'll and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent" :" replied the doctor in answer to a question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease. small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the malarial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good coudi- tion by taking reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy. and to continue with it at fre- quent intervals during the sickly season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times a week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every where as system tonic and bowel regu- lator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor. makes the body strong and the brain active.
 "Prickiy Ash Bitters fs the best arf-around medicine for the family ever used. During the past ten years have always ke pt it in my house. Whenever any of my family show signs of mala- ria. kidney trouble indigestion or con tipatio, . few doses is all that Is needed to make e ,Aem well and hearty agan.-w. H. McwrIJ RNa Pickering, La.
