THE FURNITURE FACTORY
As Seen by Judge silvsrman at Union
City. Tenn.

Judge Frank Silverman returned
from Union City, Tenn, Saturday
whittier he had gone TO inspect tn,
machinery. A reporter for thu
GRAPHIC called ON Judge silvermar
yesterday
We'll, Judge said the reporter
you hayereturnedfiom Union City.
Yes, and had most delightful
trip. Those Tennessee people know
how 10 make a visitor enjoy himself
Union City is a nice little town and
filled with nice people. :
what do YOU think OF the furni.
ture factory plant?"
Well III tell you; think fo1
81 600 it is a bargain, and a good one
at that, but there is q great deal OF
machinery connected with the plant
that we don't want or need in a
furniture factory"
.sDid you rely upon your own
Judgment when yeu inspected the
machinery as to it's condition.
mo, indeed: | took two experts
with me and both of them said the
machinery was all right and at very
low figures.
i suppose then. Judge, You will
recommend to the stockholders to
close the trade with the Union City
parties and have the machinery
shipped here within the next month";
No; I'm going to st. Louis Tues
dag to look at new machinery and
get prices on the same, and then on
my return III give my opinion to
the stoekholdefs-if they want it-as
to the advisability Of purchasing new
machinery out and ont.ssor accept
ing the Union City propositions =
There is no doubt about our
having the factory, and that very
soon, is there, Judge9s
No, sir; we will have the factory
in running order i'll a few weeks,
whether we buy the Union City
ms ehinery or an entire new outfit.
The reporter thanked the Judge for
the above Information and departed.
Judge Silverman is not a man who
PUSHES into anything hlindfolded He
has $4,000 stock in this enterprise
and it is safe to say that he will un-
derstand it in al its bearings before
the deal is made. We have confidence
in his Judgment and we know he is
going to do the very best thing for
Pine Bluff and for himself. He has
already been To Little Rock and ex-
the machinery of the fnrni-
ture factories there. He has Just re-
turned from Union City, Tenn, and
now he goes to st. Louis for the pur-
pose OF posting himself in regard to
and the operation of a
furniture factory. He is the right
man in the right place

was made by Mrs John Ross. The de-
sign for the flag was from a drawing
made by George Washington with a
pencil, and the flag thus de igned was
adopted by a resolution OF Congress on
the 18th dav of June, III. A commit
tee OF Congress, accompanied by GEN
eral Washington, afterward called up
on Mrs. Ross and engaged her to make
a flag from this design. The fag en-
made Is now known the world over as
the Star Spangled Banner of the Uni
ted States. There is a str. king resem-
blauce between tho design of our flag
and the arms of General Washington,
and it is believed by many that the
American flag was derived from this
herald C design.
Several flags were used by the peo-
pie OF the States before the present
one was adopted. In the month Of
March, 1775, red flag was hoisted in
New York, bearing on one side the
inscription, George Rex and the Lib
critics OF America, and on the other
side, No 20 cry" In July, 1875, on
Prospect Hill, Gen. Israel Putnam
raised flag upon which was Inscribed
the motto OF the Commonwealth OF
Massachusetts, "Qui transtulit susti-
net" In October, 1875, the floating
batteries OF Boston carried flag with

Mozart and the Critics.

Three years before Mozart's death,
when his Don Juan" was produced in
Eerlin, the critic in the leading local
newspaper wrote: ut Is the product
of freak, a oaprica, aud not inspired
by the heart. Besides, we have never
hea d that Mo art is composer of
note" The first performance Of
Mozart's Magic Flute" was given in
Vienna, Sept. 30, 1871, but Berlin did
rot hear it till three years later,
thanks to the stupidity OF the director
of the National Theater, J. J. Engel, a
worthy predecessor OF Baron Hulsen,
who kept Lohengria" land subsequently
nib elungen Ring') in quarantine for
nine years. But IL the Berliners are
conservative and slow, they make up
for their torpidity when they do wake
up. The Magic Flute" has now been
sung about $50 times in their city, and
on May Il, its Tooth Berlin birthday
was celebrated with great jubilation.
From Playful of the premiere, which
the Boersen Courier prints, it appears
that hundred years ago operatic per-
formances began in Berlin at $780, and
the price OF tickets ranged from 10

ditional States, Congress reduced the
stripes to the original thirteen, and
the stars were made to correspond with
the number of States.
The American flag is one OF the most
beautiful that feat upon any land or
sea. Its proportions are perfect when
it is properly made -one-half as broad
as it is long. The first stripe at the
top is red, the next white. and the @
colors alternate, making the last stripe
red. Toe blue field for the stars is the
width and square of the first seven
stripes, viz, four red and three white.
The colors of the American flag are in
exquisite relief, and it is altogether a
splendid national emblem. Long may

The greatness and rapid growth Of
the country are material for oratory
on every Independence Day, but the
bare figures are eloquent. At the first
estimate after the revolution the wealth
of the United States was set at 5000, :
000,00J; it is now about $50, 600, 900, coo
an increase OF q hundredfold. The
population nine years after the fight
ing ceased 1880 was 1929, 2l4; this
year it is certainly sc, 200, 0C0-an in
crease OF nearly seventeenfold. Thus
the wealth rer capita Is five or six
times as great as in l7t0.
