At regular meeting of Ebony
Lodge, No. 1896, G. L. O. of O.
F., Past Grand Master, w. II.
Smith, was duly elected to repre-
sent said Lodge in the District
Lod ge at Fort Smith, Ark, Au-
gust 9TH, 1888.
Judge Patton and the other
county officials are looking about
them for new county quarters.
We understand that negotiations
are being had with Bishop Fitz-
gerald looking to the securing OF
the old cathedral building, cor
ner of Center and Second streets,
for that purpose.

The excursion from Pine Bluff
of Eastern Light Lodge to Jet
terson Springs, was quite a sue
cess, financially, netting $110.6O
for the lodge, which shows that
the attendance was large. The
attendance from Little Rock was
moderate, and the balance on the
wrong side of the books, we are
told.
The Grand Army of the Re-
public we fear are getting too
kind to the Confederate dead all
at once. There must be some
thing behind this great change,
made SO suddenly; last Thursday
night they gave Il concert for
their benefit. were they alive they
would not suffer such outrage
upon southern dignity.
We venture to suggest to the
street railroad company, that it
would be a great accommodation
to the public, for them to erect a
little shanty at the Ninth street
terminus of their line. Many per-
sons have to wait there for the
cars and always suffer very un-
pleasant exposure to sunshine,
wind or rain. The cost would be
but tritie.
Mitchell & Belts, of the Demo-
crat, have issued, and will here

etc. It is mounted on card beard
and is of great value as work OF
reference to shippers and busi-
ness men generally.

men Of what one cOlored man
among the thousand of such gen

can do.
