Look on this picture, do, and see
Apattern sweet Of industry.
This little girl has had her play,
And learned her lessons for the day,
And carried grandmamma note,
And now she sews q petucoat
She wears thirnble, bright and new,
Upon her tiny finger, too
In basket and IN neelle-case
She keeps her little tools in place;
For though she is so young, you know,
Mamma IS teaching ber TO sew.
See how she pulls the needle through,
So each stitch, may be smooth and true;
For though the needle has an eye,
II could not see, II it should try,
The way TO 60; but OH the eyes
or this sweet maid ere wondrous wise
And can you guess for whom she makes
This little petlicoat, and takes
Such careful pails-the pretty witch
With every seam and hem and stitchf
Why, It's for Miss Malvina Grace
Her coll with alabaster face.

Blount's Lecture.

AS is usually the case ON all oc-
casions, the Merrill Institute was at
tended by large audience last night
to hear Henry Blount, the great
mimic lecturer from Wilson, \. c..
The auditorium was filled with
visitors by S;15 O'Clock, when the
lecturer was introduced by Secretary
w. w. Locher, in very brief but
pointed speech. Mr.. Blount began
his talk by telling an aneedote that
was a decided hit on love-making.
He continued this line of talk for
over an hour, personating all his
characters with a degree of humor
seldom possessed by the majority of
public speakers. Mr.. Blount is not
an orator, still in the latter part OF
his address he painted some most
beautiful and soul-stirring word
pictures. As a mimic he is q sue
cess, as wit he possesses merit, and
as an entertaining lecturer he is des-
tined to rank among the most prom
inent men II that class Mr. Blount
halls from the "Old North State
and as Pine Bluff has a large num-
Der of citizens who claim North Caro-
lima as their native home, Mr.. Blount
had occasion last night to remind
them of their boyhood days, associ
ated with tar, pitch and turpentine,
when he told of his first love and
how he got stuck" ON the front
door steps that were made of pine,
the extract OF which, drawn out by
the heat OF the sun, adhered closely
to the seat OF his pants and held him
q visitor until the stars began to
peep and the darkness of night
shielded him from a ludicrous atti-
tude and laughable criticism. The
general DRIFT OF the speakers address
was grit and pluck and indomitable
courage whish would eventually win
and transport the victor across the
Alps OF difficulty and safely land him
IN the Italy OF peace, prosperity and

A Kicker Column.
sermon.

The DAILY GRAPHIC continually
hears kicks and complaints about
affairs of State, county and munich
pal, and we are constantly asked to
Jump f'n" this, that and the other,
to do which would necessitate the
employment OF about one reporter
for every half-dozen citizens. With
a view, therefore, OF giving the pub
lie an opportunity to vent their
grievances and right their wrongs,
We have decided upon a Kicker
Column" in every Saturdays issue
OF the DAILY GRAPHIC, and cordially
invite the public to use it freely and
often. Copy for the "Kicker Column"
must not be handed in later than
Friday afternoon, and each com
munication will be limited to 800
words. AS a means of precautions
the name OF the author must be
signed to each communication. but
these names will be withheld from
public print and any kind of a nom
de plume can be used The GRAPHIC
believes that Kicker Column will
serve to bring before the public a
great many wrong practices with a
view to their correction and reforma-
.tion, and that in the end it will re-
sult in untold good to the com
munity. Communications OF per-
sonal nature, however, will not be
admitted to our columns under any
circumstances.
Remember that copy for the
'sKicker Column" must not be re
eeived at this office later than Friday
afternoon, and that no communica-
ton must contain over 500 words.

HISTORICAL.

Mr.. r. S. Thompson was a native
OF Virginia. At an early age he
emigrated to Arkansas and a
few years before the late civil
war he located in this city. He
enlisted in the Confederate army
and during the four years of that
struggle was brave and gallant
soldier. At the close of the war he
returned to Pine Bluff and began
again life of usefulness and great
success. { From the Press-E Eagle last
trade edition we gather thefollowing
facts: ''In 1867 Mr.. Thompson en-
gagged in the hardware business with
the late Lewis .McGiegoi, and the
continued until 1883,
when Mr.. Thompson bought out his
partners interest. After this he as
spciated with him his son, DR.. r. c.
Thompson, and the business has
been successfully conducted under the
firm name of R. s. Thompson & Son
to the present date"
Mr.. Thompson leaves wife and
one son, DIR. R. G, Thompson, in this
city. These together with all the
relatives and friends have the sym
fpathy ofthe entirecommunity in their
sad hour OF deep grief.
Mr.. Thompson was a member OF
the Royal Arcanum, the Knights OF
Pythias, the Knights of Honor and
Mason.
The funeral services will occur
Thursday. Rev John F. Carr. who
is now attending conference at Hot
Springs, has been wired OF his death
