There was great deal of whisky drinking in Forrest City last Satur- day, or drinking of some other kind of intoxicating liquors, as was evident by the unusual number of drunks and others on their way to that condition. It has been stated that there were more drunken men, and men who were drinking in Forrest City last Saturday than on any other day for a long time. Was any Of this whisky or intoxicating liquor sold or bought in Forrest City? We hope not, but it would be well for the officers to keep keen eye on the situation. There must be no booze sold in the City or County. The law and the people have said so, and that edict is su- preme

 The closing scenes in the trial were in many respects spectacular The morning session was taken up largely by the closing argument for the de- fense and the State, made respective ly by Hon. Joe T. Robinson, of Lon oke, and Hon. R. J. Williams. prose- cutting attorneys for this district. After these gentlemen had finished the case was given over to the jury and that body retired about 1040 o'clock, to todeliberate on their verdict which they did after first taking their dinner. According to the charge of Judge Hutton, they were instruct ed to carefully weigh the evidence that had been brought before them, and after careful consideration, either bring in a verdict of first degree murder or acquittal.
 After the retirement of the jury the public was excluded from the court room only the attorneys in the case, the defendant and the court attendants being allowed in the court room.
 At 2:40 o'clock Judge Hutton was summoned to the courthouse upon notification that the jury was ready to report, and at 255 o'clock the jury announced to the court that it had reached verdict, as follows:

QUAIL SEASON
OPENS WEDNESDAY
SPoRrsMEN HAVE BEEN GETTING
GUNS IN SHAPE AND GETTING
READY FOR tn EFiRST HUNT.

The hardware men Of the city have
enjoyed a good trade in gums and am
munition for the past few days from
sportsmen who are anticipating the
opening of the quail season and are
getting ready for the event that viii
be ushered in Wednesday, November
18th.
Those who have kept posted on the
subject state that quail are plentiful
this season and this will be the most
sought game. Quail abounds through
out the state. careful propagation and
protection having resulted in a mark
ed increase in the supply. Quail hunt
ers will be allowed to take birds from
onehalf hour before sunrise Wednes-
day until one-half hour after sunset

included to provide against conflict
with the night hunting law.
There is a limit to the number OF
quail which anv hunter may kill, twen-
tyfive in one dav or $50 in the season
being fixed as the maximum.
The season for wild turkeys also

(By Redyns)

Not so very long ago, but to be con-
ventional let us say, Once upon n
time" there was a young man in
sunny Oklahoma who by strict at
tention to business had risen in the
commercial world, so much so i fact
that he not only commanded an i'm
portant position in one OF the leading
banking institutions of the town, but
was a stockholder in it as well. He
was perfectly satisfied with his posi-
ton in the world of labor, but he was
not at all satisfied with his position
in the world of labor, but he was not
at all satisfied with himself from q
ally inclined, he decided to take unto
himself a wife, and after thorough
understanding with the girl OF his
choice. they decided to marry and es-
tablsh a home of their own. or course
the consent of the parents was sought
by the young man IN question. and af-
ter papa" who was a stern business
man, became convinced of the fitness
of the young man as a husband for his
daughter and only child, he gave his
consent and they became one"
After the honeymoon cottage was
built, the young man deeming noting
too good for his bride, ordered the
furniture, which was of the best, from
a neighboring city.
When this fact became known the
local furniture dealer wrought him
self into a frenzy, he called upon the
young man and upbraided him for not
patronizing home institutions, stat

and dollar stock and could have sold
him the identical stuff that he pur-
chased in another city, and perhaps
could have saved him the freieht
charges. The young man admitted
that he was very sorry but he never
had noticed what he was handling,
never before having taken much in
terest in furniture, but he noticed an
advertisement in n paper printed in
the city where he made his purchase,
tina There were some genuin bargains
infurniture, and happening to need fur
niture at that particular time, went to
the city and made the selection.
This did not appease the wrath of
the local merchant, and he continued
to condemn mail order houses" and

could secure the goods at home. The
Young man listened to him for few
moments and then said:
Il have been living in this town
nearly all my life and I have been a
constant reader Of the local paper; tell
me, when did I ever read an adver-
tisement OF your business in it?"
To this the incensed party replied
he did very little advertising, that he
had an established business and
thought that home folks" ought to
patroni2e him. What's the use of 4
