INPRoyEMENT-ExTENsIoN.

We are glad 10 note the splendid ac- tiyity in the building trades, and that as a consequence quite aogoodly num- Der of handsome cottages and other more pretentious dwellings are being erected in this good city and it's sub urbs. The foundation Is laid. and the contractor, MT. NJ. l.. Monroe, will now push the work on the beautiful home of MT. M. W. Seaborn, assistant Cashier of The Planters Bank & Trust Co.,, in the Rolfe & Williams addition. MT. John Wydick's pretty new cottage in the same neighborhood is more than half completed, and begins to have the hOme-like look, with garden planted and vegetables ready for consumption. MT. Halbert has this contract. The frame is up. and the roof on the new residence being erected by MT Will kins near Dr. P'Pool's home. and the work on James Fussell's residence. on the next street west, is going along with vim and push which augurs well for it's early completion. An ad- dition has been built to The Metho- dist parsonage, the work being done by Newsome & Ferrel. And in the business district, Messrs Sol Lewis and A Becker are preparing to let the con- tract for handsome two-story brick to be erected on the site of the present frame building occupied by Sol Lewis.
 We also note that the streets in the Rolfe X Williams addition have been worked and put into splendid order by MT. T. W. McCIendon, and that these furnish a very desirable and pleasant driveway for those who enjoy the air and scenery behind a good nag or in F n auto. Besides these there are many other evidences of the growth and prosperity of Forrest City and her citizens. which are most grati- flying to all who have the best inter- ests of the city at heart, and we con- graduate our friends upon the enter prise and progressive spirit being shown.
 In this connection we are wonder ing why some effort is not being made to extend the corporate limits so as to take in all of the Pettus & Williams and the Rolfe & Williams additions, and other outlying districts contiguous to Forrest City and wh ich are in every other respect as much a part of the city as any other. The in- corporation of these sections would add several hundred to our population and some little revenue to the city's exchequer. and much to the import ance and prestige of the city. There can be no possible objection to such annexation except the increase of taxation, and this is so very small only five mills-that no really enter prising citizen, ambitious for his home own's:welfare, would consider It. It IS only question of time. and a short time at that. when the city limits must and will be extended, and we therefore greatly urge the ad- visibility of acting now and at once on this proposition.

FIGHTING SUPPLEMENTAL BOOKS

Injunction suits to prohibit the use
of supplemental text books in the pub
kc schools will be filed in twenty diff
fenent counties, according to inform
alton that leaked out IN Topeka. The
first suits will be brought in Wyan-
do1ue and WabaunBee counties. They
will be similar to the action brought
IN the district court of Douglas coun-
ty against the board Of educaspn Of
Lawrence and Will be brought by At
tomey General John S. Dawson as
was this case.
It appears that there is to be a
statewide campaign aga'ns the use
of the supplemental books. Attorney
General Dawson refuses 10 discuss
the matter for publication, but 1t is
known that am attempt will be made
by the state TO compel the boards CT
education i'm the different cities TO
stick to the list of books adopted by
the state text book commission. 1t is
NO. known whether the twenty sui S
before the Douglas county court win
be tried out or not. However, peo-
pie connected with the attorney gen.
erals office say there is no need OF a
test case, nor of waiting until case
has been trled that there is no ques-
ton but that use of supplemental
books is i'm violation Of the law.
The state text book commission de
termined what books shall be used in
the public school, It Is provided BY
the legislature for that purpose i
meats at given periods and adopts
set of books for a given period. Unde
uhe law as read by the attorney gen
eral no board of education has an,
authority to permit the use of an,
other books in the pubEc schools thai
those adopted by the commission HI
intends to enforce that law il pos
sible.
It has developed that nformatO
has been secured IN twDety counfte
TO the effect that supplemental book
are being used. The list include
q practically all Of the cities and large
, towns of the state Consequently It
believed that the actions will b
A brought IN the counties N which th
langer towns are located.
