TIME TO CLEAN P.

Forrest City is one of the flthiest towns of its size in the country"
 The remark above was made by one of our prominent citizens, member of the city council, and a man who is noted for his civic pride and public spiritedness
 And the pity of it is that his state ment pretty nearly hits the nail on the head.
 Forrest City is filthy.
 The Times, along with hundreds of other patriotic citizens, has noticed 1t, but like them, we, through patriotic motives and with hope that con ditions would improve, have re- trained from yoicing our sentiments in that direction.
 We have just passed through an extraordinarily severe winter. there has been much rain, much bad weather, which has caused an in- creasing number Of stagnant pools and unsanitary moisture.
 The heavy rains have washed out the streets, cutting them up and making of them veritable bump the bump tracks, interspersed with mud holes.
 The back yards and the alleys in many of the principal residence sec tions are filthy with garbage, tin cans and other rubbish, which the owners have neglected to remove, according to ordinance, or which they have been prevented from moving by the prevailing bad weather.
 Many cases were spoken of where slop water from kitchens bath rooms and bed rooms, were thrown out of back windows, allowed to trickle along through aforesaid backwards and out onto and across the side walks.
 Hog pens have been maintained in- side the city limits, and even Tn the uptown business districts. until they are an otfense that smells to high heaven, to say nothing of the poor mortals that live here below, and who are compelled 10 daily endure the ofiense to their olfaetory nerves.
 And up town the streets have been used as hitching grounds for delivery wagons, storage rooms for blows, wagon, and agricultural implementy, all also against city ordinances

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the &c., rious Consequences of Neg feet.

''f1x He up something to knock the malaria, doctor, :" remarked a sallow- faced, siekly looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine Case, took down q couple of bottles, mixed preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake well and follow directions ard resumed his seat.
 "Such eases are frequent, " replied the doctor in answer to a question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the maiarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the nalaTial germ and the serious diseases which follow # is 10 get into good condi- ton by taking reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at ire quent intervals during the sickly season.
 4 dose of Priekly Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, inaprov. ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every. where as system tonic and bowel regu- lator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
