Spring is here, and the mind of
the enterprising citizen gently
t'i- ns to pamt, repairs, improve
ments, ai d new enterprises. Now
that Forrest City is a city of the
t :eond class, let us all give a long
pull, a hard pull and a pull alto
-ether to make her a city of tho
;:r-t class.
The Lee county democratic con
v ntioc held on April L’tid, I'.mt
unanimously passed a resolution
pledging the hearty support of tlu
democracy of tho county for tl c
democratic ticket, state aid na
tional, from president down to
constable. T.ec- county can always
be relied upon to support the
ticket.
It is hoped tb ' • additional
authority given the council and
officers of the City of Forrest City
will he exerted at once in the
direction oi sidewalks. The walks
on the south side arc dangerous,
and there are others in various
parts of town. The owners should
be required to rebuild them at
once.

Wo have been asked by certain
friends to urge upon democrat* the
importance of voting in the gener
al election in order that this coun
ty may have her proper represen
tation in the state, judicial, sena
torial and congressional conven
tions. AVc have been doing this
very thing for twenty years, lut it
seems to do no good. The politi
cians alone can get tho people to
turn out to an election, and in thi«
country tho nomination is c ml to
an election, and therefore the poli
ticians cease their eft i ts after the
j rimarics. We will do what wc
can to get the voters to turn out ::
-September to vote for hovei ror
Davis, and thus increase our
representation, but our efforts
must be supplemented by the ac
tivity of other party wc r!:cr~.
TOO MUCH Vi ' r VKE.
There is no sort of doubt that
the citizoi s of the St. Francis levee
district want to manage tho affairs
of the force without interference
hr ;:; ai.y political source. Ti.ej
1 >blect seriously to app".ntrncnt:
i of members cn the levee board a*
! a reward for political service ren
iered to tbs governor or any one
else m high authority. A bill will
accordingly be introduced in the
next general assembly reorganiz
ing the boa: a and mentioning th-pr■
who are to serve the district. No
doubt this will be contested by tlu
governor, who will desire to retail
tho patronage the law now paves
but there is little doubt that in tin
end such a bill as proposed will
pass. There is too rnu u at slake
for tho citizens of eastern Arkan
sas to permit politics to have any
thing to do with the board or will
ibe affairs of the district.—Arkan

The Commeicial Appeal’s Little

and it appeared Tuesday m ruing:
‘■The C narcerciul Appeal c rres

that the resignation of V>. L. Williams,
of Forrest City, w is not finally acted
upon, as Mr, Williams sent his son
Eugene, and Eugene it Ife. of Forrest
City, to Little lioek yesterday to recall
the resignation and to n .ike ,-uitak •
amends to Gov. Davis for bis hasty
actions. I: us now said that the rela

Williams are again friendly. Today’s
record in the secretary of state's office

'{'HE output is the key note to
1 profit. In deciding upon a
price at which to sell, a manufac
turer. no matter what article he
ha- tu offer, considers how many
he is likely to sell, and bases his
chr.rge accordingly. It is quite
reasonable, too. If a tailor sells
only two suits of clothes each
week. Ids income must come from v
the profit of the-e two suits. If
he can, however, double or treble
his output without materially in
creasing h:- work i ; expenses,
he can naturally afT id to make
the profit on each suit much le-s.
Again, this output do- te- ti e
huving p iwer. It is only neces
sary to state that there have been
iaanufactim d and sold over
77,000
Emerson“Pianos
to prove what the buying power
of this great Company must he.
The small manufacturer who turns
out only a tew pianos each month
will certainly have to paym ie
for the material in each piano—
there is absolutely no doubt
about this.
When you consider these fads
and put th.s truth along side ef
toeir, that there are only three
companies in the I nited States
v. iio ha\e ma ie and sold as many
piano- a- ourselves—that we
haven't a competitor making a
high-grade piano whose output is
as large as ours—jt needs no ar
gument to convince you that,
quality for quality, you can buy
cheaper of us than of any one
else.
