The new "Dri-Wel' sanitary bath towels are built on scientific princi- pleS. The yarns used in their con- struction are of the very best quality and are only half bleached by new natural process which does not require the deadly poisons necessary to the process of the full bleaching of cotton yarns. "Dri.Wel" bath towels are knitted and therefore possess features which no other towel can have. The peculiar weave which forms a soft rough cellular surface adheres closely to the skin removing all foreign mat ter without irritation, picks up the moisture from the body, yields it in- stantly to the atmosphere. rendering the body perfectly dry. It brings the rich, warm blood to the surface, in creasing its nutritiye function, there by producing a clean, healthy condi- ton Of the skin. .Dri-W Wela Batll Towels have a soothing effect on the most irritable and delicate skin and are recommended for infants and children. When used in conjunction with "K Klen-Wel' Bath Cloths made of the same material. the bath is really luxurious and delightful. To be had only of the FasSeil-Gral4am-Al- 1 derson Company.

Forrest City has beer remarkably patient with the company about this freight depot. Its citizens are very liberal patrons of the com
 pany, and give it patronage that az gregateS thousands and thousands ol dollars. It therefore, and for many other reasons, deserves to have a really handsome freight depot, and a pas senger depot, too. The passenger de pot now in use consists of three rooms one for the office of the agent, operator and clerks, one for white passenger: and one for coiored. none of which art
