GOOD NEWS FOR OUR PEOPLE.
Gus BIass x Co., Decide to Remain in Pine
 Bluff.

Yesterday afternoon a GRAPHIC reporter interviewed Mr. Louis Blass, of the firm of Gus Blass & Go, in regard to the rumor that his firm had decided to continue in business in Pine Bluff. Mr. Blass informed him that the report was true; that they had, some weeks ago, fully re- solved to close out their stock and leave the city, as their business had not been as profitable as they ex- pected it to be. He said that he came to Pine Bluff and aseertained that this fact was mostly due to mismanagement and lack of business sagacity on the part of the mana gers. He, in person, at once assumed charge of the business and found that their trade was extremely good, and that since his firm had been so earn estly importuned to continue their business here by our citizens, they had resolved to do so.
 Mr. Joseph Altheimer, one of the best dry goods men in the South, as well as one of the cleverest and most popular men extant, has been placed in charge as manager, and this, in connection with the fact that Messrs. Blass x Co. have ordered one of the largest and most select stocks of dry goods, millinery and novelties ever brought to Pine Bluff, will bring a .mOst profitable trade to the Great Red Store.
 Their millinery department will this year he in charge of Miss Jennie Rodgers, of New York, q lady who has few, If any, equals in her art in the United States.
 MT. Blass informed the GRAPHIC man that he had just heard from Mr. Gus Blasa, who is in the Eastern Markets, and that he stated that he was purchasing an enormous stock of goods for their Pine Bluff house, which would he the best, at the same time the cheapest, ever brought to Arkansas, and they were resolved to give the trade of our city the advant- age of bargains never heard of before
 It is with delight that our people will learn that this excellent firm will remain here, for it means that they will have place to which they can go and get the very best of every thing in the dry goods or millinery line, at the lowest prices.

A PETRIFIED MAN.
Marvellous Freak of Nature Discovered
 Near Humphrey.

On Wednesday morning last, near Humphrey, Mir. Bob Riban, a fisher man who has been living at Hum phrey for years, and who is we'll known to all anglers of this city, dis covered one of the most wonderful freaks or nature-a petrified man in a marvellous state of preservation.
 Mir. Riban says that in kneeling down to get a drink of water from a small pool he touched a hard sub- stance with his hand, and on Hooking to see what it was, he found a pecu- liarly shaped stone. He dug around it and found it to be a mans foot in solid rock. He at once became ex-1 cited and amazed and went to Hum- phrey to secure tools and assistance to dig up the woRderiuI find. A large crowd of people soon gathered about the spot ahd with picks and axes set to work to uncover the hidden curiosity. A tree standing near the spot had spread large roots over part of the body. These were cut away, the earth removed, and there exposed to the eyes nf the as- sembled people was a petrified man.
 \ wagon and team was secured and the stone man was hauled to Humphrey, where the entire popula- lace gazed upon it in wonder 1t was brought to Pine Bluff yester- day afternoon, and at once placed on exhibition, and hundreds of our people went to view it,among whom was a GRAPHIC reporter, and he &C., knowledges it to be the greatest wonder that he ever saw.
 The man, in life, weighed about 175 pounds, was about six feet high. The petrifed body now weighs 450 pounds and is } feet 9A inches high.
 The features have an Irish cast, and the man was apparently about B years old when he died or was killed. He was evidently killed, for on his left arm, near the shoulder,i is q wound apparently made by gun-shot and the expression of the face shows that the man died in great pain.
 With the exception of the wound on the arm and one on the left thigh, the man is perfect in every respect. The man petrified while lying on his back, with the right hand resting on | his left arm near the supposed wound, and the left hand on his left thigh. The hands, which are won derfully perfect, even to the finger nails, indicate the working man. The feet are rather small for a man of the size, and in life he would have worn a No. shoe. The feet are perfect, and the seams and grains of course socks can be seen in the stone.
 The face is the most marvellous of all, for even the eyebrows show, as does also the hair on the lips. The other part of the face was either closely shaved or almost hairless.
 The greatest skeptic on earth, once seeing tnls Specliheh ol pcli1hcdtloii cannot but admit that it was once a human being, for protruding through the rather thick lips glisten two teeth, which are as perfect and white now as when the man was alive
 This curiosity will remain on exhi- bition several days until it's owner decides what he will do with it. He has already re- fused $60O for a half interest in the body. The admission price asked is only 10 cents, and no one should miss this opportunity of viewing one of the greatest of curiosities. Lott, as

SPEEDING NORTHWARD
Our Noble Farmers to Their BretL- ren in Nebraska.

The carload of corn made up by the farmeds of Jefferson county for the relief of their suffering brethren in Nebraska left over the Valley rail- road today on it's mission of charity. Some delay was caused by the mis- which arose on ac- count of the refusal of Gov. Hol- combe to receive the corn donated by the State, and from the unexpected and continued severity of the wealth CT, several contributors were un- able to haul their corn to the ear which the Swan Lake railroad had placed on it's line. The St. Louis Southwestern kept q ear on the switch at Rob Roy for two weeks for the accommodation of the chari- tably disposed and then hauled it to the yard of the Missouri Pacific in Pine Bluff. The Missouri Pacific, as the other roads gave the ear special attention, will send it through to it's destination free of charge.
 The car is consigned to Gov. HoIy combe, Lincoln, Nebraska. On a canvass attached to one side of the car were the words:
 From the Farmers of Jefferson county.
 Arkansas, to the Farmers of
