Than An Hour.
TALK ABOUT WATERWORKS
Councilman Brockett Has a
Few Figures.
City Solicitor Elmer Il. Boyd Submits
His Annual Report and the Mayor
Makes u Report Showing S191 CiI-
lected in Fines.

1t took the city fathers little less
than an hour to attend to all of the
| business, receive the annual report
of City Solicitor Elmer H. Boyd, talk
a little about the waterworks PROPOSE
tion and adjourn.
The first item of business was the
adoption OF an ordinance fixing the
salary of the humane officer for Mar
ion county. The ordinance fixes the
part which the city should pay at
thirty dollars per month. The city
and county "go cahoots" in paying
this salary. In the past each has paid
twenty dollars per month, but each
has raised this ten dollars. making
the salary now sixty instead of forty
dollars.
A number of coucilmen made COM
plant about electric lights in differ
ed and the street lighting and gas
committee was instructed to get
busy and see what is wrong. Council
man Bryant started the ball rolling
with his report that the light at the
corner of Main and Walnut streets
has not burned for a week. Then
other councilmen fell in line and re-
ported lights which had been out for
two or three nights in succession.
The annual report of the city soli-
citor showing the work which has

in the common please court. Two of
these pending suits are damage suits
against the city brought by Sarah
a. Harvey for damages claimed be-
cause of the flooding of her lands with
sewage water; another is an injunc-
ton suit brought by Fanny Peters
Pease and the fourth is the damage
suit of Genevieve Ackerman. asking
damage for injuries sustained by fall
ing into an excavation on the street.
During the year four cases were filed
in the common please court by the
city, three of them have been dis
posed of and the fourth Is still pend
ing. The city solicitor was called as
prosecutor in forty-six cases in the
court of Mayor Setter.
The resolution to construct a side
walk on the east side of Breen street
from Silver street to the second al
ley south of Silver street was read
the second time.
The monthly report of Mayor Setter
a collection of $191 in fines
and licenses was read and accepted.
Councilman Brockett read to the
council an item or two from the an
nual reports of the city auditors of
Portsmouth and st, Marys concern
ing the waterworks plant which is
owned by the city in each instance.
The Portsmouth report showed that
S9,977.25 had been turned over to
the general fund from the water
works fund during the past year and
yet there was q balance on the right
side of the ledger for the waterworks
fund of $16,17S.S9. In ST. Marys
during the past year a surplus Of
$500 was shown in the waterworks
department and this is a city of about

MORE ABOUT GOOD ROADS
Judge R0lfe is Making Extensive Ar engagements to Improve Road Con-
 ditions in this County.

It will be remembered that The Times published last fall the text of a proposed bill, which had been prepared at the instance of Judgs E. A. Rolfe, of this county, looking to the employ ment Of convicts on the roads of the county.
 The bill was introduced and became law.
 With a view to utilizing the bene fits and labor accruing 10 this county under thls bill Judge Rolfe has made acquisition upon the State Peniten- tiary Board, asking the number of convicts now available, and notifying them of his intention to utilize their labor on the roads of this county.
 He has also ordered, and they have arrived, two cages of steel, for the safe keeping of the said convicts, and which are large enough to accommo- date 24 men. These convicts will be ordered here as soon as all arrange ments can be completed. There are komewhere between l , and 70 of them. : In connection with this very lauda. move on the part of our worthy Coun- ty Judge, his court has appointed Senator F. w. DeRositt and MT. s. A. Rolfe as commissioners of his court to purchase mules, to be used in work ing the public roads of the county, and make report of their proceedings without delay.
 The court has also appointed Messrs. T. D. Hampton, J. w. Taylor and Dr. J. C. Reynolds as commissioners of his court to "locate, mark out and make estimates of the changes and repairs necessary on the Old Military Road where it passes through L'Anguille river bottom, and they are authorized to call to their assistance competent engineer to make measurements and estimates, and make report of their proceedings without delay.
 The court has also granted the peti- tion of MT. C. R. Dickert, ct als, to open much needed road beginning at the Goodwin and Wheatley road at section line between sections 29 and 90, T. Il, R e, and by devious sec tion lines running to the northwest corner of section II, appointinglMess Joe Grimes, w. ]. Jordan and David Geter as viewers.
 All of these proceedings of the Coun ty Court are in the interest of more and better roads, and especially for tht convenience and comfort of farmers and others who use the same, and we are much pleased with Judges activi. ty and good sense in bringing to this county the benefits to be derived from the labor of conyicts whom it has cost our taxpayers thousands of dollars to convict of their several crimes. and thus in manner get something in re- turn for their trouble and expense of maintaining the peace and dignity of the State and county.
 Judge Rolfe will go down in history as the Good Roads Judge of this eoun- ty, though he is modest and unassum. ing of credit for the many good acts already done and to be accomplished i'll the future along these lines.

GentIeman's Driving Club Celebrates by Pulling tiff Free For All
 Event.
BROUGHT OUT FOUR ENTREES
Much Interest and Enthusiasm Has Been Aroused by Horse Lovers All Over the County-NeXt Meet
 August 1.

The initial meet of the Gentlemen's Driving Club at their new track in the Rolfe X Williams addition on the Fourth revived old scenes and old memories in the minds of many of our citizens who remembered the unsuccessful attempt made here twenty years ago 10 organize a fair assocition and stock show for Eastern Arkan- sas. The promoters of the association at that time went to a great deal of trouble and expense to erect stables, grand stand, a manager and keepers residence, a beautiful mile track was also built and blood ed horses were brought here in the hope that a movement might be launched that would finally develop into one of the most profitable enterprises of this section and stimulate the breeding and raising of fine stock. Two or three fairs were held at which time splendid purses were offered and many horsemen came to Forrest City to compete for the prizes and participate in the meets, but interest was lacking on the part of our home people and the venture fell through of its own weight.
 Just nineteen years ago, Tuesday, Dr. Aldrich otficiat- ed as starter at the track of the old Eastern Arkansas Fair Association and Capt. James Russell acted as one of the judges. These gentlemen ap- peared in the same roles on Tuesday of this week, standing almost on the identical spots upon which they stood a quar- ter of century ago.
 At the meet held Tuesday on ly one event was pulled off, this being a half mile, free-for-all race,open topacers and trotters, in three heats, the horse taking the best two in three, to be de- clared the winner. The entries were Dolly Bruce, bay mare, owned by Eugene Williams Pharoah, bay gelding, owned by s. B. Trapp; Lady Eldridge, chestnut mare, owned by R. E. Eldridge, and Delight, sorrel horse, owned Buford Stewart of Yocona. The horses were all driven by their owners with the exception of Pharoah, who ran away with Mir. Trapp in the

first heat, that gentleman re- tirlng for the last two heats in in favor of Mir. $. A. Rolfe, who drove the Trapp horse in mag nificent style in the second heat which he won by a neck in a hard drive over Dolly Bruce. The latter, however, pulled down the grapes in handy fashion by taking the first and third heats.
 Pharoah, made such a good showing in the second heat, many thought he had recovered sufficiently from the excitement and rough experiences of the first heat, to win the race, but the strain had proven to much for the horses nerves and he broke twice after the getaway in the third heat and before MT. Rolfe could pull him down, Dolly Bruce had gained a lead, the Trapp horse was poWerless to overcome.
 There was exciting times in the first heat when the horse, Pharoah, ran more than a mile, or twice around the track, with MT. Trapp powerless to check him, although he tugged and pulled the horse until both his hands were lascerated and bleeding. Another incident which caused Mr. Trapp's many friends to trembIe for his safety arose from the fact that he came very nearly loosing one of his cart wheels in the runaway first heat.
 Dolly Bruce is one of the most consistent little mares ever seen in this section of the state and in her work Tuesday, she was greatly admired and capti- vated everybody by her beauty and honesty in carrying away the honors of the day.
 Lady Eldridge also made an admirable showing in the second heat and was always in running from start to finish.
 Time recorded for the race Is follow:
 First Dolly Bruce, time, 1:17 1-2.
 Second heat-Pharoah. time, l::25.
 Third heat Dolly Bruce, time, 1:,22 1-2.
 Dr. c. s. Aldrich, starter; Capt. James Russell and Mr. Ed. Mallory, judges.
 The little meet held Tuesday was preliminary to a larger one the club has planned to hold here on August 1, at which time a number of purses will be offered in the hope that horse owners and fanciers in adjoining towns may be brought to Forrest City to com- pete for the prizes in the several events. Much interest has been aroused and the meet held Tuesday is the most talked | of event of the season.
