Little Virginia Brown, Daughter of j,
y. Brown, Injured in Collision.

Little Virginia Brown, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. ard Mrs j. y. Brown of
this city, was very painfully, but not
seriously, hurt Tuesday morning at
800 o'clock in a collision Of her bicy-
Gle and an automobile driven by a ne
gro hackman, Frank Sanders. The
little girl was thrown from her bicy-
Gle and the car passed partly over
her, although the wheels did not touch
her body.
She was cut in the leg and her
neck was wrenched by the blow, and
otherwise she was very painfully
bruised, but fortunately she was not
seriously injured.
The negro was turning the corner
from Sumter street into Liberty street
going east and the child was riding
her wheel about the center of the
street going to school. She says she
tried to get out of the way Of the au-
tomobile, but did not succeed in doing
so before it struck her. The negro
stated that he was looking at an axle
and the wheel, which had gone bal
and was slowing up for fuller ex-
animation of it, when he first saw the
child. He tried to stop at once, but
it was too late.
He was at once arrested by the DO-
lice and taken to the guard house,
where he was later released on bail.

the road crossing so that it will be
safe in the future.

UNION STATION.

| The Arkansas Railroad Com mission
in their chambers in Little Rock, on
/ March -, made order that the St.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
Railroad Company and the Chicago
/ Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Com
pany shall build Joint or union pas
senger station at the crossing OF their
tracks In Forrest City. Said station
10 be constructed OF brick. stone or
cement, and to be of size and style in
every way commensurate with the
business offered at the city. Plans
TO be submitted to the Commission
within thirty days and work OF con-
struction TO begin within sixty days,
and continued in good faith until COM
pleted.
AT the same time and place, the
Commission also made order that the
connecting or transfer track between
the said two railroads be removed
from Front street and reestablisied
at same place west Of the main line Of
the Iron Mountain Road.
Thus have been secured for Forrest
City splendid and much and long
needed improvement in local paSsen-
ger facilities at our two railroads and
the removal of a troublesome and dam
gerous track from our Front street
These two things are the direct result
Of the efforts of the Civic League,
whose mbers have given Of their
time and money freely TO accomplish
this good work, and who have hereby
earned the right TO the respect and
confidence and support Of every citi-
zen Of this town who desires progress
and improvement in public matters.
These two achievements show how
much is possible when our people
unite their efforts along any line and
should encourage US to unity Of &C
ton and harmony Of feeling and pur-
pose in everything that makes for bet
terment Of conditions in every line Of
our public life.
Let's all work together for other
good things we want, forgetting per-
sonal interests and personal and politi-
cal animosities, giving our best efforts
freely TO build and improve our town,
which is our home, the dearest place
on Gods green earth.
