 bidder at public auction. The stock of the former corporation, which was invoiced at S7 ,03S 0i, with the fixtures at $7j0, sold to K.W. Benson for S3, ,450. In addition 70 this, there were live stock and farming tools among the as sets that sold for &i63. The business will be reorganized and conducted at the same stand under the firm name of R. W.

Benson is recognized as one of the bestoposted dry goods men in the state and il Is his purpose to dispose Of the bankrupt stock just as quickly as possible at great sacrifice, when the store will be remOdeled along mod ern lines and the swellest stock of la dies and gents furnishings ever dis played in Forrest City will be added.
 The Sellers X Scott stock, which was invOiCed at S4,70O, was bought in by C. Nj. Wilkinson, of Palestine, for W. k. Ferguson of this city, and brought 3.900 MT. Ferguson, who is also one of the best known young bus mess men in Eastern Arkansas, has reopened the store and will conduct the business at the same stand under his own name. The outcome of the bankrupt proceedings has resulted in the reopening of two of the most inn portant trading centers on Front street, and no event of the year has produced a more gratifying and salu- tary effect in the business life of For rest City.
