Artistic Window Display.

The Lawrence grocery op the cor ner of Washington and Jackson streets is without doubt one of the neatest cleanest and most attractive stores in the city. MT. and Mrs. Lawrence and their tactful and tasty sister, Miss Lula Sinclair, who is perhaps the most capable and enterprising little business woman in Forrest City, all take a pride in making the City Gro cery inviting and a pleasant place to trade. A feature of this progressive store policy that has been greatly ap- preciated and admired by everybody during the past week is the artistic arrangement of number of things in neat window display which shows of to good advantage Heinz's pro ducts, U-ALL-NO after dinner hints, popcorn, and India relish, in the form of semi-circle within which. fash toned from the best known brands of gum, appears the affable gro cer's name-LAWRENCE.

THE LAW IS NOT ENFORCED.

And still there are some who have not cut the weeds and grass from their sidewalks, as required by the city ordinances. There is an old saying that no person is entitled to credit for doing right, and it seems to be a gen. eral rule to give them none. Not so, however, with The Times. We be- lieve in praising those who do right, giving them credit for all they do, and holding them up as an example to others, We therefore want all those who have cut the weeds and gfass from around their premises to know that their efforts are noted and appreciated, and that the public daily praises them for their civic pride, pa- triotism, sanitation, etc, and that they are talked about in nice way, and held up as progressive and enter prising citizens who are doing what they can to advance the city, and ad- yertise it as a desirable place in which to reside by making it clean and healthful. Why not cut the grass and weeds, and clean the accumulated mud and dirt of the edges of the splendid concrete sidewalks? It won't take you long 10 do 1t yourself, or it will cost you only few cents 10 have it done, and you will certainly get the worth of your time and effort or your money in satisfaction at the im- provement in appearances, health, etc
 If you do not do so of your own free will and accord, the city marshal should see that the law is enforced against you It is good law, but is a dead letter unless enforced.

Early Morning Blaze.

The residence occupied by MT. D. A Beakley, belonging to Miss Lyda Mason, in the Russell addition, was destroyed by lire Monday morning. The alarm was turned in about one o'clock, when quite large number of neighbors and friends of the family rushed 10 the scene and did heroic work iu the salvage of the household effects, though the fire had gained such headway that only the furnish ings of two rooms-the parlor and living room-were saved, including the piano, and other things worth, perhaps, i've or six hundred dollars. The fire company made the long, hard run in record time, and soon had the fire under control, and prevented it's spread.
 MT. and Mrs. Beazley desire to thank all most heartily for their un- selfish efforts and the splendid work done in saving what they could of the many highly prized articles.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, but Nr. Beazley thinks it was from sured for sl5e0, and Mir. BeaAey's household effects for like sum.
 Since their misfortune the Beazley family have been making their home with the Vogel family.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

On last Monday at noon the great city Of Little Rock undertook to close all houses of prostitution and abolish trading in vice. It is either great forward step or great step backward, which will be watched with much in. terest by other cities, and thousands of private citizens all over the country who are interested In the great social evil" problem. Many good citizens think these dens of sin and vice are a necessary evil, and during his admin istration Gov. Wm. NJ. Fishback, the most enterprising and advanced think ing governor the state ever had, said as much, and more. It was his delib- crate opinion that they are just as necessary as any other sewer of the city, and that they are really a pro- lection to the virtue of other women and young girls. We shall see. It may be that the experiment will prove very sad and costly to some of Little Rocks foremost families or other good families, and that sorrow will follow in its wake. We hope not. As the Gazette says, it is most interesting experiment." Mayor Taylor does not hope to entirely solve this old, old problem, but he thinks the best way to try, is to stamp 1t out entirely and at once. Homes and employment were offered the inmates of these houses, but few offers were accepted. They prefer to lead their life of shame, because they have lost all respect for themselves and all hope. It is an awful state of mind. They will go elsewhere and continue their traffic. The Ga zette fears, and with good reason, that these undesirables may hereafter occupy private houses in the residence district, but seems to think the police will be able to cope with that horn of the dilemma. We think not. And while this new reform may close up for while the public houses, and in a manner lessen the temptations to the youth Of Little Lock, and abridge greatly the accessibility to evil which has been an aid to tem ptation, !" we seriously doubt if the raal evil will be greatly handicapped, and it will flourish as of yore.

New Assistant.

Our friend and esteemed fellow townsman, MT. James Gillian, has been elected assistant cashier by the directors of the Planters Bank X Trust Company, to succeed MT. NJ. W. Seaborn, who goes to the Marianna Cotton Oil Company. MT. Gillian has assumed charge and is familiariz- ino himself with his new duties, and in the opinion of The Times, the Planters Bank and Trust Company could not have selected better man for the important post of assistant cashier. He is fine clerical man, sane and conservative in all his busi- ness dealings, sober, reliable and trustworthy, and has a town full of friends here who will join us in wish ing him much success and advance ment in his new field,

DIPHTHERIA SITUATION.

There are many wild rumors afioat in town about the diphtheria situa- tion. The Times has made a very careful investigation and inquiries from several physicians, and we find the exact truth to be, so far as the best information that we can get, will give it. that there have been just seven cases in the city and suburbs of Forrest City, viz;
 Leon Bohne, who was the first, is entirely well and up; child of MT. and Mrs. James Gillian, very ligft case, never sick enough to go to bed, and is now well; three cases at the home of MT. Frank Doyle, one Of which was fatal, other two getting along very nicely; one case at MT Paul Gwyn's, his child getting along very nicely and out of danger; case of MT. Dooley's child, we could not get any information, except general report that this child is getting along very nicely and no danger is anticipated. That's all.
 Dr. Boggan this noon reports that Ellie Wade, a negro girl ten years old, on Heustess place, l2 miles south of town, has diphtheria, and that she had been given 10000 units of anti toxine; that six other children have been exposed to this case, and have been given the anti-toxine. Dr. Bog gan was on the scene within two hours after learning of the case, and did all things necessary to prevent further contagion. All of these negroes were isolated and put under strict orders not to mingle with other persons; the place was placard- ed, etc. pr. Merritt stated that there had been a case below there some time ago. but it seems this case is convalescent or entirely well, we could not learn which.
 There is talk of public meeting tonight at the court house for the purpose of discussing the situation and taking such action as is necessary to prevent further spread of this awful disease. This is very excellent move, and one that should interest every citizen, and we hope there will be big representative crowd, and that safe and sane action will be taken.
 The principal thing to be done. it seems to us, and about the only that can be done, is to establish strict quarantine over the families where cases now exist, and keep it in force until all danger is passed If this is done, we do not think 1t will be necessary to stop the picture show, the Christian revival nor the opening of our public schools on the ninth, as contemplated. However, if it is the cool, sober judgment of a majority that these places should be closed. we will endorse their actions.
