The Russellville Democrat., 1886-05-12

we dia not forget by any meaus to look at Pine BlufI. Pine Bluff claims to be ! city in everything tbat is re |quirtd to establish the title. It backed up it's claim pretty well. If | tic papers and speeches of Pine Bluff citizens should be taken as q guide. But laying these aside, 1t lean rightfully claim to be strong commercial center. It has two rail. roads, gass works, and electric lights, The business portion of the town ia solidly built, and presents q good ap. pearance. There arc several exclns. live wholesale business establish
 ments. It boasts considerably of it's public schools, and we know it has plenty Of saloons and darkics. In these respects it might claim to be
 metropolitan. Taking the prepara-
 tions made to entertain the press in n royal banquet as criterixn, and
 we would infer large things of the
 peoples liberality and progressive
 ness. We could not help however, observing how much some of the re- ligious denominations Of such largo place, needed churches that would
 argue the progress and public spirit claimed in other quarters. Plenty
 of saloons and poor churches in .
 place, opens the way to an ugly in
 ference in reference to tho elements
 which prepondcrate in the communi- | ty. Pine Bluff bears the distinction
 now of being the home Of the largest planter in the Uaited States, If not in the world. He plants twelve thousand acres in cotton this year alone. He has built at his own cost and owns thirty miles of railroad east of the Arkansas river at Plnc Bluff. He started after the war with
 out any money, and could barely
 read and write. His success is phe- nominal. The place is also the home of many other distinguished gentle men, chief among them Col. M. l..
 Bell, of whom the city is justly proud, and who from his address of
 welcome, is proud Of the city. The
 press gang received all the courtesy It could desire and will doubtless re-
 member the Bluff city many days hence.
