The Forrest City times., 1911-02-03

For several weeks The Times has been publishing notice of special bill to be introduced in the legislature to amend the 4-wire-fence law so far as it applies to certain.territory in.the St. Francis bottoms The Times is not very familiar with the conditions existing there, nor does it know to
 what extent the people affected are opposed to it or approve it, but We are inclined to believe that it would
 be a step backwards to repeal this
 law, and We are always opposed to
 retrogression. It is only a question of time when there will be a no fence
 law-it may be fifty or it may be a
 hundred years of, but it follows in
 the path of civilization somehow, and
 come it will some day It has come
 in the east and north. and middle
 west. IL is coming south. We may
 not yet be prepared for il, but come
 1t must. and this 4-wire-fence law is simply forerunner. as We understand
 1t, which will gradually prepare the inhabitants for still further progress.
 It is progressive. It came to the
 older sections of our country in some such similar manner, and 1t will come
 10 Us. We cannot stop il if we would. There was quite great deal of dis satisfaction about the 4-wire-fence
 law when it first became law There always ls more or less dissatisfaction Wita lew conditions among these
 who are n5t prepared for them, but we have heard little or no complaint for several years about the i-wire- fence I8", and we presumed that the people had prepared themselves for it, and had now become recouciied to il. Those who are BOW seeking this amendment should study the matter carefully. and give 1t such consider ation as its importance demands, for 1t is an important matter. and every
 man should beware ofsigning petitions lntil he is fully posted upon the im- port of same. The Times is demo-
 cratic, however, and it is in favor of
 the majority rule If 8 majority in
 value of the land owners in that sec
 tion favor the proposed amendment,
 then the legislature should amend it.,
 but if majority in value are satis- fled with tEe present status of the fence question. the legislature should
 be very slow to tamper with this law. and thus perhaps impose upon these land owners a hardship and an ex- pense which in some cases at least would amount almost to contiscaton. Be sure you're right, then go ahead

Extravaqant Princess.

So much has been said and written about the debts of Princess Louise, eldest daughter Of the late king of the Belgians, that any story illustrating her carelessness ia money matters is of interest. Princess Louise literally does not know what money means, says the London Globe. Some time ago. during stay she made in Paris. a dress which she had ordered was brought to her hotel, says a Brussels paper The girl who brought it was pretty and charmlngly dressed. with that simplicity and grace peculiar to the little work girl of the Rue de Ia Paix. Princess Louise admired the child and told her so, and admired, too, little silver medal which the girl wore around her neck. Perhaps your highness will accept it." said the work girl It is a medal of the Vir- gin of Prague" That is too sweet of you, said Princess Louise, and you must let me give you something in exchange to put around your neck ]" She gave q necklace of pearls. with which the girl went of in high glee She thought they were imitation. and. even SO they were fine ones.

QUARTER CENTURY IN FORREST
 CITY.


 years ago-the junior editor of The Times, MT. E. L. Vadakin, first land ed in Forrest City, coming here to take charge of this plant for one-half of its net earnings. Of his early ex- periences on this paper our boss speaks interestingly. He says: Il had to borrow money for two or three months to pay my board. The paper was without friends or business. A short time afterwards the plant was purchased by MT. Landyoigt, and the o-partnership was then formed that exists until this day. By sheer hard work, perseverance and stick-to-it-ive- them a liying-and then some-and aided by liberal, fairminded people, for whom their best efforts have al- ways been directed, that business has grown and prospered. The boss is proud of his office and Of his force, and of the friends and the enemies of
  'Tis a proud moment when a man can look backward over quarter cen- tury of the best years of life, and see through the dim perspective Of the vanishing cycles of time, that his early labors have not been in vain. and that while. if the hardships were great, the work wearisome. and the priyations heart-breaking. they came while he had the strength and vigor of youth that endureth much. to sus- tain him, and ever could he see the brightest star of hope beckoning him on, and on, until today The Times stands in the front rank of the fore most country weekly newspapers in Arkansas, with plant equipped with modern machinery, up-to-date type faces and borders, and a wide variety of stock from which to make selec- tions, and with pay roll of from sl20 to sl35 per week, all of which is spent here in Forrest City with our mer- chants and others
 The boss is not only proud of The Times, it's record, etc He's proud of Forrest City, proud of St. Francis county. He is proud that he has lived here these many years. and proud to think he will continue to live here the remainder of his days. He says. We love the people of this county, and they are our friends We want to serve them better in the future than We have in the past, and we want their cooperation and help. and good will, that We may be able to make The Times a power for good and the upbuilding of Forrest City.

 And this is the spirit that has made The Times what it is today-and it is this spirit, and this ambition that will find na rest. as long as there $ work to be done or an improvement to be made, that viii benefit these people. whom The Times delights to honor and serve And for an am bition like this there is no rest Con- tentment means stagnation You cannot stand still in these progressive 20th century times You've either got to keep going forward IT go back ward-and The Times ts going for ward
