THE DlT WE rEIEBR4TE.

Today is one of tue most impor- tant in the history of Pine Bluff, and it is well that it should be observed in fitting manner. The compile tion of the car shops of the St. Louis Southwestern railway marks the be- ginning of a new era in this city, and one that should give renewed hope and encouragement to every citizen Of Pine Bluff. But few of our citi- zens know what a hive of human in. dustry can be witnessed Ut the shops, and the completion of the additional car shops means the con stant employment of at least 300 additional men, who, with their families, go to swell the population of Pine Bluff, and whose earnings will amount in the aggregate to at least slS0, GOO year. Ii is well that we should rejoice on this oc- casion, for there is ample cause for graduation and iollifieation. In the fullnes of time every car on the Cotton Belt will be manufactured in
 Pine Bluff, and will bear inc stamp and advertisement of our city. Nay, more, we are reliably informed that in a few brief years the present plant Of the Cotton Belt in this city will have to be duplicated and it's
