Of New Jersey.
For Vice-President
THOMAS R. MARSHALL
Of Indiana.
Extend the sewers.
Every part of the city should have
sewerage.
Sewer extension means improved
health conditions. Good heath is the
greatest fortune.
Why not extend the corporate
limits to take in all the additions to
the city and suburban residences and
residents? Surely they would be
pleased to come In.
Isn’t it about time to begin to
think about paving the streets of
Forrest City? At least, some of
them? They need it, and it would be
a long stride forward.
With good roads and good weather,
cotton ought to move rapidly now,
and business in all lines should soon
begin to pickup a good bit. Bring
your cotton to Forrest City.
Let all pull together for a Greater
Forrest City, and make it a real live
town, with push and vim and busi
ness. This we can do by patronizing
home industries, by talking and work
ing for more factories, and offering
inducements to capital to seek in
vestments.
The next election will take place on
November —. The democrats have
the most battering prospects of elect
ing their candidates for president ann
vice president, but in order to do so,
every democrat must do his whole
duty. Work for the ticket, and let's
have a good old-fashioned democratic
victory.
About one-sixth of the population
of Forrest City lives outside the cor
porate limits. The town grows so
fast that tlie lines do not keep up
with its growth. It is important
that ail additions to the city and all
these Inhabitants should tie incorpor
ated. Bring them into tlie fold and
let us ail <1 well together in brotherly
love and happiness.
There seems to lie very little demo
cratic enthusiasm hereabouts. We
believe this is because of over-conti
dence. Let us not imagine that tlie
cause does not require our co-pera
tlon, or that theticket will be elected
without our \ote. tine vote is not
much, but if a large number of demo
crats think along the same lino and
remain away from the polls, leaving
the business to ids neighbor, it will
result disastrously to the party It
is the duty of every democrat t - v -><■
and urge others to do likewise

CIRCUIT COURT.
The September term of the St Fran
cis Circuit Court is progressing very
nicely, and a large numtier of ca->es on
tlie criminal docket have been dD
posed of In several cases pleis >>f
guilty, in one form or another, hive
tx-en entered b> defendants, notably
in tlie .1 K W. Hood case, where mur
der in tiie first degree was charged,
and lie plead guilty to 2d degree, and
took sentence of 21 years. It seems
there were some mitigating circum
stances. and by tills, action the people
are probably saved aixuit $1000. The
Swan case, resulting in a tine of * 175.
Is being hotly contested, and will now
go to the Supreme Court.
Nothing of particular public inter
est lias taken place on the law side of
tlie court: in fact, very little business
of a civil nature lias l*>en transacted,
and we have not made any notes from
the civil docket.

Heart Symptoms
The ailments of women include symptoms of heart trout s known as palpitation
cf the heart. The palpitation is so violent at times as to be really painful and
leads the patient to fear she has heart disease. Ninety per cent of such cases are
not heart disease at ail but only a symptom cf a liver disorder which has affected
tne normal action of the heart, and on applying the proper remedies the unusual
throbbing ceases. The stomach and digestion need strengthening and the
depressing effect of these disorders cn the female organism must be corrected.
For the latter purpose there is no more effective remedy to be found anywhere than
DR. SIMMONS
Squaw Vine Wine
It conveys a strengthening influence to the delicate female organism, re-establishes
regular and healthy periods, overcomes the painful symptoms, builds up the
nerves and puts the generative system in fine healthy condition. For the liver
and bowel disorders one or two doses of Simmons Liver Medicine is all that is
needed. It clears the stomach and bowels of impurities, helps digestion and the
proper nourishment of the body the result cf which is sound, healthy
conditions all through the system.

FULLWOOD TIMES.
! Quarterly Conference uf the M. E.,
I Church South, was held at Wesley
Chapel last Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. Will Otterherry lias moved
from where Mr. Aikes lives to Mr.
Lon Pippen's place.
The daily attendance of the Parrott
school lias iieen considerably reduced
on account of the children having to
pick cotton.
Mr. .lames Harris and family at
tended the barbecue given last S.atur
I day by Mr. Lon Pippin near Round
Pond and had a very pleasant time. I
Every morning the highway lias a
1 procession of visitors to Forrest City j
| hurrying to pay their respects to |
fudge Hutton Doubtless some have i
learned from tire .fudge that the way j
: of the transgressor is hard.
The seventh grade pupils of the!
Parrott school have all passed in their j
examination preparatory to entrance '
to High School studies." They made
a very creditable showing and win re
ceive their certificates at the close of
! the school.
At this writing nearly all of Mr.
Sam Pettus’family are on t lie sick
! list. Mr. Pettus himself has been
1 sick quite a while and his buys have
I had to look after the interest of his
. farm, which caused them to lose
I some time from school.
There are several factors that enter
into the make-up of a real good school
Two of prime importance are the
board of directors and tlie teacher.
The directors have a greater responsi
bility resting upon them than they
often realize. Their most important
duty and the hardest to perform to
secure the best for the children lies
in the selection of teachers. They
have nothing so guide them most
generally in their selections except
the certificates of the applicants,
and it is not unfrequent that tlie j
grade of the certificate shows more!
than the applicant possesses and often
i a great deal less, it would lie most
I fortunate for tlie scliools if tlie teach
ers had a fund of knowledge far lie
yond the grade of certificate thateach
holds and would use it for the beiieiit
of those under them. Jf such were
the case our schools would soon enter
upon a higher plane of excellence
than can be found generally. The
patrons and directors of any school
that has such a teacher, one able to
give instructions far beyond the com
mon course, should feel greatlv grati
tied at their good fortune. Arid some
such scliools there are in St. Francis
county

Figure it out foryourself' ’
You carry Firo Insurance—and why ?
Because of the danger of sudden loss.
Because it protects you against this uncertainty, although
your buildings may never burn down.
Do you protect them against decay—against the weather—
against the dead certainty of depreciation resulting from allow
ing them to go unpuinted. Why not?
Paint Insurance is worth even more to
you than Fire Insurance—yet is often
Badly neglected—and you are the loser.
MASTIC PAINT for 40 years has proven the “real protector”
of buildings. For quality—service- economy—and beauty of
finish it has no equal. Ask for color card.
