 The Times wishes to add word of encouragement to the effort now ma ing to organize base ball team in | Forrest City. There is no cleaner. more healthfal or interesting sport in existence than ball. IL trains the mind and eye and body 10 meet quick and important emergencies, and cer- tainly affords spectators a pleaSurable and innocent excitement. It requires some money to place base ball team upon respectable basis. and We hope our people will not be niggardly when 1 the time arrives for the boys 10 seek 1 assistance.
 l lie Annual Sprlng Openlng III the Ladies Goods Department at Becker X Lewis, last Monday, was little short of phenomenal. The goods were dis l played with rare artistic skill. which attracted much attention, and the crowds which all day flocked to the store attested the interest of our peo- pie in the event. We learn that the sales were unusually large more sat isfaetory, in fact. than anything here tofore occurring in the firms history upon a similar occasion-and We con graduate the firm and the people upon an event of such general import.
 The Times finds no greater pleasure i than in exploiting talent of any char acter especially Forrest City talent i and in this connection it affords us l considerable prafificafi ion f0 note fhe
