Why is it that the city council
penri’ts that Choctaw p'utform? It
w a dangerous nuisance and should
be abated.
Tho Choctaw Ilailroad Company
lias not yet rebuilt thoir dt-pot
platform at this place, but they
will. Give them time—about 20
3'ears will suit them best.
The sidewalks of Forrest City,
which have heretofore been the
pride of every citizen, have been
sadly neglected of late and are get
ting into a most deplorable eoudi-|
tion.
Mayor Gorman inlorms us that
be v 11 soon take a loeni census of
Forrest City, with a view to rais
ing the incorporated town to ft city
of the second-class. There is little
or ru doubt that we have the pop
uiation. and we need the advanta
ges which may be derived from the
laws applicable to a city of the
second-class. Goahead.Mr. Mayor,
and don’t delay the matter.
Why does ihe city council per
mit those dangerous sidewalks on
South Front street, from Mrs. E
Boyle’s corner west to Slovens’ un
dertaking establishment. Mrs.
Boylo has a splendid walk in front
of her establishment, and The
Times built a new one a few months
ago, bnt the others arc in a very
unsato and unsightly condition
The property owners should be
requested to rebuild theso side
walks, and they should do so at
pneo and cheerfully.
We thank the Brinkley Argus
for its complimentary reproduc
tion of an article from The Times
entitled Slander vs. Argument. We
have not always agreed with the
Argus on public questions, but w<
have ever found Bro. W. B. Fol
som to be a gentleman. He is not
one of that class of editors who re
sort to the method mentioned in
that article in lieu of argument. It
we should fall out with every man
who differs from us in our opin
ions on puolie questions and the
character of public men, we should
be unhappy indeed. We accord
every man the right to hi* own
opinion, and we haven't any re
spect for a man if he hasn’t got one
of his own. But we do think that
an opinion should be based upon
intelligent investigation and ”nbi
ased consideration of the facts.
Many of onr best friends personal,
ly, do net :.di rs>* all we say. Some
1:T r from us on one question.'
n me on another, but all are agreec ]
that each is sincere; that each has
many othar laudable opinions
which they do endorse; that each
stands for the best interests of the
community, according to the best
of bis knowledge and belief; and
all wonld join hearts and hands and
give their lives, if need be, in the
protection of the homes and honor
of the families of the others. This
is manhood. We should blush for
shame if we were guilty of slander,
ing the manhood or womanhood
of this country just because they
did not think as we do about Jeff
Davis or any other public man or
question. No true man will get
mad at us because we differ in our
political opinions The intimation
that we have said, or that we think, j
that those who do not think as we
do are ignoramuses, is wholly false.
It is a fact, however, that there is
woeful ignorance extant. It is not
all among those who vote on one
side of any question. Many vote
through prejudice.

GEO. P. WALKER.
The Times’ announcement col
umn is growing, and this week
contains the name of Mr. Geo. F.
Walker, who aspire9 to the office
of Clerk of the Circuit Court of
St. Francis County.
Mr. Walker came to Arkansas
from South Alabama when a lad of
eleven years, and has practically
grown up in this county, having
resided here since 1S81.
He is a bookkeeper by profes
sion, and has held several respon
sible positions of that character,
besides having been engaged with
Mr. J. T. Pyal in the mercantile
business at Goodwin.
llo is now the esteemed and
trusted principal accountant with
Brandon k Baugh, a position which
he fills acceptably.
He is a self-made man, who on
joj’s tho esteem and confidence of
all who knows him. Ho is ener
getic, painstaking, clever and com
petent, and is a candidate upon his
merits.
He has always been a Democrat,
and has never before asked honors
from his purty. If nominated he
will be elected, if elected he will
discharge tho duties of tho office
faithfully and well.
We ask for him a kindly consid
eration of his qualifications and
candidacy.

RELIEVE THE CONGESTION*.
The congested condition of llie
streets, owing to the failure on the
part of the Iron Mountain railroad
to move tho cotton, is enough to
attract the attention of every citi
zen, and make him fear for the
safety of the town.
Every reasonable and honorable
inducement should be urged upon
the railroad company to relieve the
condition, and the railroad compa
ny should exert its best efforts to
comply with tho demands of its
patrons.
It is just such neglect and atbi
trury negligence that causes a pop.
ular prejudice against railroads.
Tho 1 imes has, happily, never
been able to see why a railroad
company should not bo entitled to
the aamo courtesy and considera
tion that is accorded individuals,
but sometimes we are almost led to
the conclusion that they bring
upon themselves the necessity of
i regulating and compelling them by
(law to do what they should in all
’ reason be glad to do voluntarily.
If they do not relievo these eon
ditions they may not be surprised
to find the next legislature passing
bills to regulate their business for
them ami compelling them to do
! what they ought to do.
If no relief comes soon, it will be
up to the people to find some means
to protect their interests from such
criminal neglect.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Ne?er Suspect it.
How To Find Ont.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours ;
a sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy con
dition of the kid
neys ; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble ; too
frequent desire
to pass it or pain
-in ttie [)ac^ jS
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are otst of order.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
anil scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many i
times during the night. The mild and |
the extraordinary effect of Sw amp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest :
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and a
Dock. tnat tells all
about it, both sent free i
