This has been great Christmas foi us and we are not unmindful of the fact that we have been treated kindly and generously by our friends and the buying public. The stock of Christ mas goods placed on sale at this store was no doubt the greatest shown in Forrest City this season, but it gives us pleasure to state there is very lit- tie of this mammoth Christmas stock now left in our. store. It also gives us pleasure to know that many an in. nocent and childish heart was made to glow with happiness at this glad Christmas time in receiving the toys. trinkets and dolls with which Old Santa Claus supplied them from this store.
 We expected the stock to move out quickly because it was marked to sell at Cash Prices and it is really no sur prise to us that practically the entire stock was ''cIeaned up."

DISASTROUS BLAZE
 CHRISTMAS MORNING
Fire Boys Again Demonstrate Prov ess By Checking Blaze Which Threatened Entire Washing
 ton Street BI0ek-How
 Big Chief Came Down,

Gpan awakening on Christmas morning We found that old Santa had left about an $S,000 fire in our stock ing The fire broke out on Washing ton street between the alley just north of the Bank of Eastern Arkan- saS and Jackson streets i'll a row of frame buildings occupied by ". l.. Lawrence, the city groceryman, James Fondren's grocery and Hikle Asl's restaurant.
 The buildings which are almost a complete loss. will be replaced. so The Times is informed by substantial brick stores and work will begin at once tosrebuild the block.
 Forrest Gity's volunteer fire depart ment has again demonstrated it's prowess by the heroic work done in keeping the fire so closely confined, because the flames had gained con- siderable headwaV before the fire laddieS succeeded in getting three streams of water playing upon the burning buildings.
 Soon after the alarm was turned in about 4:30 o'clock Christmas morning, Fire Chief S. P Mcdaniel was seen coming down town on tiptoe in his night slippers as if expecting to find some rtcalcitrant fireman neslecting his duty, but instead the chief found all his men going after the fire with the same zeal and fearlessness that usually characterize their splendid work.
 Nearly all the damage caused from the Christmas fire was covered by in- surance, James Fondren carried $500 on his stock and W. L. Law renee carried s275OO0 on his stock, Hikle Ash being the only sufferer from the fire who carried no insur- ance. The buildings belonged to Hon. 0. B. Rollwage and Mir. Chas Lewis were amply protected by in- surance.
 Among the most valiant of the fire fighters at Wednesday mornings blaze was assistant fire chief, ]. J. Murty, who never flinches or stands back from the most arduous and haz ardous work. Other members of the fire company who deserve special mention are Rev Geo. II. kirker, who is always cool and determined and whose opinions and good iudg ment are greatly respected by his associates.
 A very remarkable incident which occurred in connection with the disastrous blaze lies in the fact that on Christmas morning just one year ago and at the same hour, a fire broke out in Hikle Ash's restaurant, and at that time the block Of wooden buildings very narrowly escaped de- struction. Forrest City fire ordi- nances should be enforced and our fire company as well as the property owners should be given protection and safeguard possible throughout the principal business blocks of the city. Such policy upon the part of our city administration will not only mean better fire protection but cheaper insurance rates.
