Fail TO loot Horns;
Fjve Are Arrested

loot you horn when approaching
street intersection. That is the state
law. The failure of five men and boy
auto drivers to observe this law at the
intersection of Center and Main streets
Friday afternoon resulted in their ar
rest. All five cars were stopped ana
the drivers hailed into the mayors court
by Chief of Police Will Lage within
fifteen minutes.
Those caught by the chief of police
were Donald Pearson. j. S. Lamert'
Roland Flower, George McMain. and A.
D. Keppler. Host OF them pleaded ig-
norance of this particular law. The
answer of the police and the mayor to
this excuse was that it was the driver
business to inform himself regarding
the law. All five were assessed the
costs, $4.S5 each.
Chief of Police L.age says these are
only the first of great many arrests
that are Goin gto be made for viola
items of the state automobile laws.
I'm going to arresr'em if they don't
foot their horns for intersections. II
they don't turn corners as the law
says they must. or if they drive on the
wrong side Of the street." declared the
chief of police.

Our Friends in Marianna,

For the members of The Times force, one of the most pleasant ex- periences of the trip to Marianna week before last, was our visit to the new Bank of Marianna, which is sit uated in most attractive two-story, white stone building on Main street, that is put up with all the care of a Pullman palace car. We were pleased to find working at this bank, our good friend MT. Ed Allen, who showed us every courtesy in piloting us through this convenient and well-appointed institution, replete with handsome furnishings, and which is oflicered and conducted by anumber of Lee county's foremost and beSt-known citizens. Upstairs over the bank is the suite of law offices of MT. ". B. Mann. Jr. another old-time Forrest City boy. into whose hospitable hands we had the good fortune to fall, after viewing the first floor. Burk Mann has one of the prettiest law offices and one of the largest libraries in the state. Associated with him in business is Attorney Noel Burke, and the two together make a team that many of the older heads might well envy. In the law offices of Mann x Burke. Colonel Landvoigt and us, enjoyed q cool smoke and pleasant chat with the youngster that we used to know in kits, and we left him with 8 glow of qualification in our hearts over his prosperity and ideal situation, be- cause w. B., Jr., is a chip off the old block, and the Manns, everywhere they are known, are famed as enter tainers.
