The Forrest City times., 1913-11-28

Squire j. M. Brown, who has been
In feeble health for the past two
months, has been coming down to the
store regularly this week. The
squire is warmly welcomed back into
his accustomed walks and bis numer.
Gus friends and associates are reioiced
over the fact that he is imnroving
nicely ana getting stronger every day.
Mr.: and Mrs. J. r, Brown were
burning the bermuda grass off their
iiot Tuesday morning when their hen
mouse caught fire and fears were felt
Ter time lest the flames spread to
the residence. Fire Chief Mcdaniel
was notified of the danger over the
telephone aud after driving hurriedly
70 the scene, succeeded in putting the
hre out, without turning in the alarm.
Good cheer prevailed and the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Mattice, at
MADISON was much enliyened and
frightened for Thanksgiving upon the
arrival Of their father and mother,
Or. and Mrs. Mattice and Mallory
Mattice, of Memphis, also an uncle,
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mattice and
son, Paul, of Footville, Wis, and DR..
Harold Mattice, the manly son of the
host and hostess, who is now STUDYING
dentistry at the University of Ten
nessee. The guests will remain at the
hospitable Mattice home until Sun
day
AT the Grand Lodge of Masons held
IN Little Rock last week, an edict
was passed making it Masonic offense
for any member of the Masons to cir
culate or sign a petition for the sale
of intoxicating liquors. The news
that the MasonS had done so was dis
cussed on the streets in Little Rock
Wednesday by Masous from all parts
OF the State who were in attendance.
1t is the first time that we have ever
known the Masonic Lodge to pass an
edict Of political or far-reaching soci-
illogical nature, and its effect will be
watched with interest.
One of the greatest motion picture
features, if not the greatest, that will
come to Forrest City this winter, has
been booked by the management of
The New Imperial Theater for Satur-
day night, December 6. This grand
production is by the celebrated Pas
cal Company and is the spectacular
dramatiZation of Lord Bulwer Lyt-
tons Last Days of Pompeii," in nine
reels. Forrest City is the only town
in Arkansas, outside of Little Rock
and Hot Springs, fortunate enough to
secure this masterpiece of the NOV
les" which is very high compliment
indeed, to the New Imperial Theater
management.
This paper has a number of very
handsome and attractive holiday ads
in it to which your attention is called.
They tell the story of where to buy.
and many suggestions Of what. 1t will
pay you to read them and study them
carefully, and buy your "Christmas"
at home from your home merchant
and friend. You can buy just as good,
just as much, just as cheaply here as
you can in Memphis, or elsewhere,
and should have enough pride in home
success to want to help home people.
You'll be carried away" in admi-
ration of the strong feature for Sat
urday night at the New Imperial
Theater entitled, The Bondsman,"
a thrilling Puritan drama in two reels,
Nearly all patrons of the photoplay,
love the sturdy pioneers of the seven
teenth century and, in 1.-THE Bonds
man." story of their loves, passions,
customs and habits, has been pro-
duced that is really good The drama
reveals the passions concealed be-
meath the sober dress of the Puritans,
and in its most thrilling moments re-
minds one strongly OF Hawthorne.
A thrilling love story grips the imagi-
nation from the morning Of the en-
barkment for America TO the end of
the plot Mildred Arkwright, the
beautiful child of twelve, and Mildred
Arkwright, the lovely Puritan maiden
of ten years later, hold our sympathies
ALWAYS; and the appeal she makes in
the intensely tragic scene near the
close, touches the height of dramatic
power In Cyril, the Bondsman, Mil
dred's lover from childhood, we have
one of the nOblest and most lovable
characters that the motion picture
stage has ever produced.
