I ire Started in t >ld building,. Form.
erl> (.lun ch. < uni t House, i el
ephoite i. xchange.and Oh n
ed by Mr. Partridge.
'I lu- alarm of lire on last Monday
afternoon, immediately drew the
larger |m«r1n of Forrest City's inhab
itants to the scene of c< i flagration.
Ilu‘ tire originaled in the old frame
building immediately south of the
Methodist church, the property of
Mr. Partridge, and occupied at the
time by negroes. Though the tire
company were quick to respond, and
did valiant service, the house was
I
Therefor, that those to whom he has
heretofore offered the property for
sale, have said that they would pay
nioie f >r it without t. •> hui.dit:^, and
he reasoned that si u'd it hum his
soon tieyond all hope of saving, and
Irom its si/.e proved a menace to tin*
adjacent buildings, particularly the
Methodist church and parsonage, to
ward which the wind carried the
flames. In spite of hard work by the
company and volunteers the roof of
the churth was ignited and the pres
sure of water failing at first to reach
such a height, it seemed for a time
that tlie pretty edifice was doomed.
Willing hands soon removed the
furniture'and carpet. though in the
removal t lie handsome fabric was torn
considerably. The devoted hand of
workers to whom the lieautifving and
improvement of the building lead
been siieh a lalmr of love, while it also
represented much hard work and
financial expenditure, stood with anx
ious hearts while brave men worked j
to stay the devastating flames.
At last after hope had almost died,
the firemen succeeded in getting at
the flames more advantageously and
soon controlled them, though not be
fore the roof was a complete wreck.
The damage is estimated to lie at
least $lsim. The damage to the par
sonage is inconsiderable, though twice
it was on tire.
A floating cinder lodged on the
roof of the frame building outlie.I.
M. Stewart property, and fora short
time it si ruled to he developing into
a danger point, hut prompt attention
soon quelled it.
'1 he interior wa I Is of t lie church are
utterly mined, the windows, with the
exception of the beautiful stained
glass ones at the front, which are in
tact. being broken, although the tre
foil above those was soon broken in an
attempt to gel a stream to the under
side of t he si»if.
There was no insurance on the
building and consequently the loss is
total. At a meecing of the officers on
Tuesday night they decided to rebuild
at once, .lust how much repairs will
lie needed lias not lieen determined,
hut they will endeavor to make the
edifice at least as beautiful as it was
when the tire attacked it.
Public spirited citizens will contrib
ute to a fund for this purpose, and al
ready several very handsome contri
bution have lieen offered.
FI RE NOTES.
Eugene Williams, of the ltank of
Forrest City, was one of the most
conspicuous and valiant of the tire
lighters. He mounted tlie hottest and
most dangerous places, and at one
time sat astride the comb of the
church holding the host* nozzle, while
the flames were uncomfortably near.
Enos Altman, with undaunted cour
age. remained where duty called him
between the two burning buildings
and had his arm painfully burned.
Too much praise cannot tie given
these two fearless and unselfish men
for their heroic work.
The tire company did valiant work,
and braved the scorching heat in car
rying out their duties. Chief Mc
Daniel worked like a trojan and not
only directed his subordinates hut
himself went into the hottest of the
i fray with the names.
We would that we. could give credit
to each of the score or more of brave
| hoys who fought tin* flames, it is im
possible to kimw just what part each
lone took in subduing the flames. It is
sufficient to state that each and every
one showed a brave heart and did
everything in bis power to extinguish
i the tire.
The water pressure failed for a few
minutes, owing to some complica
j tions, anti the firemen were at a great
; disadvantage.
It was thoroughly demonstrated
that the great need of the laddies is a
I complete hook and ladder outfit.
| With ladders they could have saved
i the Methodist church without the
loss of a shingle.
Mr. Partridge had no insurance on
; his building, and states as a reason
— ■ ..... —J
loss might lx* equalized by the in
creased value of tlie lot. So there you
are.
'Ilie.l. VV. Iieek Company promptly
sent their check to Rev. Babcock, for
Wo.
The (Kill Fellows have donated $2.'*.
Mr. K. A Rolfe very generously do
nated $100.
Senator K. .1. Williama. with his
usual liberal and enterprising spirit,
emit ributed $25.
Nat It. Jones, purveyor of the cele
brated Puck Sugar House Molasses,'
for sale by Neely & Neblett, sent in
a voluntary sutiseription of $50.
W’liat Will You Contribute !
The Forrest City Times will give
$25, and more if necessary, for the im
mediate rebuilding of the Methodist
Church. We will also receive and ac
count for any other subscriptions to a
fund for this purpose.
In this connection we dess re to say
that lion. Ren Harris, of Harrisburg,
a visiting attorney, voluntarily hand
ed us $1 on t lie st reet Monday evening,
to start a fund for said purpose.
< >n Tuesday morning Mr. Fred Klei
l>er voluntarily appeared at this otlice
j and asked us to put him down for $25,

Will Rebuild at Once.
At tlie meeting of llie quarterly
conference Tuesday evening it was de
cided t<i at once repair the church and
to start a fund for the erection of a
new *10,000 building.
A resolution of thanks was passed
in favor of the Christian, the Presby
terian and tlie baptist churches for
the generous offer of their buildings
to us for our worship. Also to the Odd
Fellows for the tender of their hall.
We greatly appreciate all these
offers. In order not to interfere with
the services of the churches, we I
deemed it best to hold our services in
the < kid Fellows' hall.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be Considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
now modern
proves that
all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood—
... vj mat is tneir work.
Therefore, when yourkidneysare weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire l>ody is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or “ feel badly,” l>egiu
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's SwamjsRoot, Irccause as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is Siam realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in fifty-cent £
and one-doliar si/el
bottles. You may
have a sample bottle n>m<n.f a»«.mp-Root.
by mail free, also a j>amphlet telling you
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to I>r. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y. Don’t make any mistake,
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
pr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and the ad
Wte'b., Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.
