A disgusting sight was witnessed sunday afternoon as the evening train on the Choctaw from the east came in. Deputy Sheriff Ollie Sherrod had in custody white man named Miller, arrested at Madison. charged with terrorizing the com munity with threats to clean eyery- thing up. He was handcuffed and paraded from the depot to the iail. making the air blue with profanity. In such cases the officers should use muller as we'll as handcuffs. And while we are on the subject, it might be well to call attention to the fact that much profanity is every day heard on the streets, which is not only disgusting, but in violation of the city's ordinance. Gentlemen will be careful not to use profanity on the streets where ladies and children may hear, and for the sake of decency, others should be reminded of their dereliction by good sized fine.

 There was au enthuiastic meeting of t.lks Tuesday night, called especial y for the consideration of the propo- sition 10 buy lots and build an EIks' Home. Upon motion, which was carried. 1t was decided to buy the residence property of MT A j. Vac caro on the corner of North Izard and East Jackson streets for a con- slderation Of s6000 The location is iocdi, auu iOl ldIRe anu tue building is to be modern and roomy. The Elks have about 5000 on hand and will issue bonds for the balance of the funds required to complete the purchase. This will be a big boost to Forrest City and every enter plising citizen should give it his hearty support. We congratulate the Elks upon their determination ana enterprise. The residence is to be sold and removed, and here is chance to buy fine home cheap. LATER-Since above was put in type. we understand from members of the order, that there is probability that this action will be reconsidered. and strong effort made to get the Elks to decide on the South Side sites. as being more prominent and likely 10 bring in revenue. The South Side location would certainly give promi- hence to the enterprise of our Elks, and be a great advertisement to the city. It is matter that should be very carefully considered
