Take a trial balance
OF your life and learn
II there's loss or profit
In your own concern,
II from daily living
More could not be won
II you took a tumble
To yourself, my son.
Are you going forward.
Up advancement's hill,
Or In sluggish comfort
Are you standing still7
Have you on life's ledger
Something more TO show
Than you had IN writing
Just a week ago?
Such an easy matter
Getting I'm a rut;
Door TO innovation
Seems forever shut.
In a narrow circle,
Round and round you glide
Like the wooden horses
That the children ride.
There are depths to fathom.
There are heights TO scale.
But you cannot reach them
In your mental jail.
Mount the train OF progress,
Swearing by the gods
IL you have no ticket
You will ride the rods.

The Forrest City times., 1909-03-05

The time is now ripe for a fouring mill in this county. Forrest City, Colt, Caldwell, Palestine, Bonair, Madison and Widener shipped into St. Francis county during the year 1908, l50 cars of flour, l60 barrels to each car, amounting to .s24 ,000. %. Think of it Can't the farmers stop this ruinous policy by each one sowing say five acres of wheat next October By so doing, the mill and all necessary machinery, will follow in ample time for the harvest. There ought to be a public meeting of farmers and mer- chants to discuss this important mat ters and some definite arrangements made to SOW wheat and build mill. It would keep thousands of dollars at home and furnish a market for all wheat.

PLEA FOR THE RAILROADS TO BE
 GIVEN A REST.

Chicago, March 2.-The Chicago Burlington X Quincy is preparing for circulation among it's 900 employees a pamphlet containing an address by Vice President Daniel Willard, oi which the keynote is a plea that the railroads be given a rest from further anti-railroad legislation.
 This, he declares, is necessary in order that they may adjust them selves 10 the changes imposed by the host of new laws passed within the last two or three years
 MT. Willard asserts there are now in Congress or the legislatures of the eleven states traversed by the Bur- lington, 272 proposed laws regulating the railroads, and the employees are asked to cooperate with the manage ment by using their influence to Op- pose such legislation.

The Gam State Wide Bill provides that liquor may be sold by druggists for such purposes as art, mechanical, medicinal and similar things, and that wines may be sold to churches for pur- poses of sacrament. Physicians must make out certificates in giving pre- scriptions calling for alcohol or liquor. Under such a law as this the drug. stores of Arkansas will do landoffice business, no doubt, and return todays of old when spirits frumenti was one of the principal ingredients in large number of prescriptions written by the physicians iu those times.

We have not had time to peruse the proposed bill and therefor have no comment.

HELENA WINS FAST GAME
Forrest City Girls Defeated at Helena in Snsppiest Game of Basket Ball
 Ever Seen in That City.

The Forrest City basket ball team of the High School went to Helena Monday. accompanied by about twenty five loyal friends and rooters, to play the first of q series of games with tie team of the Helena High School, and although the Forrest City team was defeated. the girls put up a very pretty game and made it decidedly interesting for both the Helena team and the onlookers, and showed prom ise of better playing with more expe- rience and confidence in themselves The score after the first ten minutes play was Ii to in favor of Helena. The next twenty minutes play showed a score of II to 10 in favor of Helena, thus showing that our team improved as they became normal.
 All Of the party who went down for the game, are enthusiastic over Helena and the hospitality of the charming people Of that city.
 We hope to make their visit 10 our city as pleasant, in every respect. as ours was. The next game will be played in Forrest City Saturday morn- ing, March %. The hour will be an- nounced at later date, and we hope to win.
 The following special to the Ark ansas Gazette from Helena, tells the story of our defeat; but il does not, nor can We find words to convey an adequate idea of the sweet hospitali- ties, which were so lavishly bestowed upon our girls. Everything that could be was done for their comfort and enjoyment, and they certainly appre- ciated 1t and enjoyed it, When the | Helena team comes to Forrest City we shall endeayor by acts rather than words, to demonstrate this apprecia tion.

A petition to Senator DeRositt ask ing him to give his hearty support to the Gam Statewide Bill, has been numerously signed in town this week, though many who really favor the movement, did not sign. because the Gam Bill permits drug stores to sell whiskey, and think the privilege would be abused. We are of the same opinion.
