The Seceders to be Shown No Quarter
by Pytllians.
At conference OF the supreme
officers of tine Knights ofPythias
at Indianapolis last week, it was
decided to wage war on the sece-
ders from the order, who have
started the Improved Order
knights Of Pythias." Chancel-
lor Commander Richie was in
doubt about the wisdom of bring
ing on a fight, but the other su.
preme officers insisted that no
quarter should be given.
The Improved Order Knights
of Pythias had its origin in the
action of the last Supreme Lodge.
in deciding that hereafter the
ritual of the order shall be print
ed in the English language onl y
and the English language only
shall be used in the secret work
of the order. The German speak.
ing members OF the order
throughout the United States
took affront at the action and
established the opposition order,
which authorizes the establish.
ment of both English-speaking
and German-speakihg lodges.
The Supreme Chancellor Com
mander will not say what course
will be pursued, but it is under.
stood that suit will be begun to
enioin the new order from using
the name of the old.

ETFEcT on THE CROPS.

i
The growth and condition of
the crops during the past week
is intimately connected with the
amount of rainfall received.
From those sections noted above
as having received sufficient rain
fall, the reports indicate that all
the crops are in a flourishing
condition; while from Barbour,
Taylor, jackson, Harrison,
Roane, Doddridge, Writ, and
generally throughout the dry
sections, grass and wheat are re-.
ported as needing rain badly.
Elsewhere, reports of these crops
are very encouraging.
Oats does not appear tc prom.
Use very heavy crop, and some
correspondents report its condi.
ton as very poor.
Corn planting has progressed
very rapidly and in some cases
nearly the whole crop has been
planted, Some fields are sufici-
emily wellgrown to pillow. Cut
worms are reported from several
d
counties. In jackson and Wood
counties they are said to be very
thick and doing considerable
damage to corn and garden.
From every section reports in.
dictate that the fruit crop prom.
ises 10 be very heavy. especially
the apple crop. of which. it is
said, the trees were never more
heavily laden with bloom. OF
peaches and cherries, less fiatter-
ing reports have been received
and not much of a yield is ex.
pected.
Gardens continue in : very
favorable condition. and promise
no lack OF vegetables.

MEAN BUSINESS.
Our Citizens at Last Aroused to the Im- portanee of Securing Immigration
 and Factories.

The GRAPHIC predicts the coming year will be one of the most pros porous that Jefferson county and Pine Bluff ever experienced This will be the result of the awakening of out citizens to the importance of securing immigration and fac torres. Both will be secured, and soon our waste places will blossom as the rose. There is no county in the United States that can begin to compare with Jefferson, in natural resources, climate or fertility of soil. Here man has every thing that he can desire from nature to make him happy and prosperous. It is the veritable paradise for a poor man, who. if he will but labor deli gently and be economical for a few years will soon become rich in this worlds goods We all know these to be facts, and the reason that our county has not improved more rap idly than ii has is because of the in difference and sluggishincss peculiar to the Southern people; but, thank God, we are at last aroused, and wonderful results may soon be eX- pected.
 The County Exposition has form ulated a plan to send some gentle man as an immigration agent through the Western and Nothern States. This will result in untold good, if the right man is sent.
 The business men and property owners have also awakened, and in a short time will organized what will be known as Commercial and Manufacturing League. This league will be composed of men who will work, and, if necessary, spend some money to build mp the town. It will not be called into existence one day and be allowed to die out the next. each member will pledge himself to stand by it for one year. After it is organizedevery man in the city should enroll his name and con tribute of his means to help it along in it's work for the common good and boom Pine Bluff.
 Give her just a little start to let the people abroad know her pos abilities and nature, which has so richly endowed her, will do the rest.

New Freight Rates Go Into Effect.

CHICAGO, Feb 4.-The new trans continental freight rates agreed upon by the transcontinental lines at their meeting in this city last month went into effect today. Under the new schedule, there is 8 material advance. It provides for a rate of fifty cents per hundred pounds from New York, Chicago and Mississippi and Missouri river com mon points, to all Pacific coasts terminals. An exception is made in the case of Portlant, Ore, to which the minimum rate is fifty-fve cents per hundred pounds. This is looked upon as q decided advance, as the rates have been down as low as thirty cents per hundred pounds for several months. The new schedule has been adopted by all transcon tinental lines, including the South. ern Pacific.

4 Narrow Escape.

Yesterday afternoon the home of Mir. Charles Well had a narrow es- cape from being consumed by fire. The family of Mr. Well were on the first floor, when Mr. Veil, feeling tired, concluded he would take a nap. He went up stairs to q bed room and had only been there a minute when he noticed that the wood and paper around the fue was on fire. He ran for water and soon put out the flames. Had he not entered the room when he did the house would soon have been in ashes.
 Our people are entirely too careless about having good flues put in when their houses are built. They allow the contractors to palm off anything on them, and as q conse- Quence, we have many fires.

A New Enterprise.

Some weeks ago Mir. Frank Sauls- bury, of Nebraska, arrived in Pine Bluff on a prospecting tour. He was much pleased with the city. While here he purchased q small place about three miles west of the corporate limits, on which he pro- poses to establish creamery He returned to his old home and married and then came back. Mr. Salisbury is now purchasing q large number Of cows and will soon have his cream cry and dairy in operation.
 He reports that with a little en- couragcment there are thirty orforty families living near his old home who can be induced to move to Jefferson county.
