Men’s Forward Movement.
Sunday was a great day in the
history of the Men’s Forward
Movement. Quite a large au
dience greeted Mr. Chas. E.
Taylor, mayor of Little Rock,
who delivered a strong practical
address on “Efficient Service.”
Mr. Taylor has a magnetism of
personality, a clear musical
voice, and a well trained, logi
cal mind to deal with the vari
ous problems that confront
men of today. Mr. Taylor paid
a sweet tribute to George Wash
ington, the first president of
the United States. He lived a
beautiful life of service and left
a benign influence to bless the
people of the world.
President Wilson declared in (
his inaugural address that the |
occasion to him was not a time |
to rejoice over a victory, but
rather a time of consecration to
the service of every American
citizen. Service was the key
note of his address at that time.
At the coronation of George V
the present king of England, the
Archbishop of York preached i
upon the text: “I am among
you as he that serveth.”
It is indeed a great day for
Christianity when those who;
hold the highest positions see in |
them opportunities to serve j
mankind. In matters great and
small, endowment of power is
equipment for service. The
highest service that men enjoy
in life is serving others. The

Lord Jesus came not to be min
istered unto, but to minister and
to give His life a ransom for
many. (
D. L. Moody, the great evan
gelist, while upon his deathbed,
wished to leave a parting word
to his many friends. But being
too weak to utter a sound, he
motioned for a pencil and upon
the margin of his bible he wrote
the words, “If God be your part
ner make your plans large.” The
speaker indicated the fact that
the day is not far distant when i
the Prince of Peace shall live
and reign supreme in the hearts
of men.

License Contest Resumed.
Before Judge Coe Monday, the
license contest was resumed, \
Judge H. S. Simmons and W. B. j
Chastain being witnesses for the
remonstrants at the morning
session. Both were used in re
buttal on the list of “unknowns”
Find “non-residents” upon which
the petitioners had introduced
evidence. That the evidence
may be concluded this afternoon,
is the opinion of the attorneys
in the case and if so, the argu
ment will be made Tuesday and
the matter will then be up to
the court for his decision upon
the long-drawn controversy.
Slim Thompson Arrested Here.
Chief of Police Montague re
ceived a telephone message Fri
day night from the chief at
Newport, advising him that
Slim Thompson, fomerly of this
city, was there, and wanted to
know if he was still wanted here
on any charge. Chief Montague
from a month’s visit to her
arrest him at once and bring
him to Hoxie where he would
send a man today to get the
prisoner.
Thompson is wanted here on a
charge preferred some time since
by a man named Chambers, who
resides on Little River above
Marked Tree, in which he claims
