GABDo MILLS, TEX, Jan. 29.-Oyer
q month ago today every eoloied
man III this nei9hberhood received

that unless he left the neighborhood

MASS MEETING.
The Furniture Factory Question WI Be
Discussed at the court-hoase.

According to a call By the i1xecll-
tive Committee OF the Young Mems
Commercial Club, there WiIlBea mass
meeting at the Couft-a0ilse tonight
OF the members of that club and our
citizens generally TO hear Judge
Frank Silverman. Hon. S. II. Taylor
and other distinguished gentlemen
discasss the furniture factory propo-
sition. The attendance at that
meeting tonight will settle whether
or not Pine Bluff shall have a furni-
ture factory. How important then
it is that every citizen OF Pine bluff
who can possibly do So, should be
present.
This is not aeal to discuss politics.
it is a call that is Il forerunnef OF the
acknowledgements OF our country.
We fear there is a tendency on the
part OF some Of our citizens to leave
too much responsibility upon the
shoulders Of the Executive Commiite
OF the Y. NJ. e. G. This should not
be the case. That committee hasgone
ahead, blazed out the way and now
all that the citizens are called on to
do is to follow their guidance. They
have done noble work, but they have
arrived at the point now when it be-
comes necessary for the people to
buckle on their ar.nor and serve
their country. The last straw
always breaks the camel's back.
Let's meet at the Courthouse to-
night and share in proportion to our
means the responsibility of the sue
cess or downfall of this furniture
factory.
Judge Silyerman has spent his
time and his money getting up facts
and varied information concerning
the cost OF machinery, aud the cost
OF operating furniture factory, and
he will explain everything tonight.
Let'everybody attend.
