INDIGNANT CITIZENS
Resolve to Be No Longer Imposed On By
 the Pine Bluff Water Company.

The attendance of citizens at the mass meeting held at the Court house Friday evening to protest against the water now being fur nished by the Pine Bluff Water Company, was large.
 The meeting was organized by the election of Mir. ". B. Alexander as Chairman and Mr. D. c. Bell as Sec retary. Several prominent gentle men made brief addresses upon the water question, after which a com mittee composed of Messrs. G. N. Hart, P. P. Byrd and R. M. Gal braith, were appointed to draft reso- lutions to present to the meeting for adoption. After few moments the committee made the following re- port which was adopted:
 WHEREAS, The Water Company of the city of Pine Bluff in violation of it's contract made with the city for the benefit of the citizens of Pine Bluff, are now furnishing it's patrons and consumers, for domestic and private uses, water from the Arkan- sas river which is wholly inadequate and unfit for domesric or private uses on account of it's dirty and filthy condition, and which is dan gerous to the public health, and
 WHEREAS, The citizens of Pine Bluff have been compelled by the Water Company to pay cash in ad- vance for the water and have had forced upon them water which they did not agree to receive, and
 WHEREAS, The water so being furnished, on account of the mud therein, is filling and destroying the service pipes of private consumers, at great cost and expense to the citizens, and

 Now, therefore, be it

Mayor of the city of Pine Bluff be requested to convene the City Council in special session at the earliest possible time and lay before it the wrongs and injuries, complaints and grievances, herein mentioned to the end that it may take speedy action, by injunction or otherwise, to protect the citizens against the shameful outrages now being perpetrated by the Water Company.

LIGHTNING ON A TEAR.

The family of F. l.. Staples, had an ex- perience with lightning they will not soon forget, last Saturday, the 18th, during the storm which proved so disas- trous all over the state. A young son with the hired man were sitting near the moving machine when a flash of light ming came knocking the son down to the ground and the man on to his knees. The son, Arthur, was for some time in an unconscious condition. The lightning then passed through two screen doors, throwing chips and splinters about the kitchen and filling the house full of sulphurous smoke, then passed round the house, splintering a water barrel in it's course to north veranda post which it used up. MT and Mrs Staples, with Miss Annie Staples were in the kitchen at the time the lightning was playing such freaks and it seems almost s miracle that they escaped serious injury. They were very much frightened, and by the roar ing and smoke. expected the house was in flames, which fortunately was not the case.

The regular monthly meeting of the Bethel Temperance Union was held at the Congregational church on Sunday evening. There was quite goodly num- Der present. No outside speaker being present the president, Mir Burnham, made few remarks in reference to election of officers for the coming year. He was followed by Rev 0. A. Knesal. who spoke of the needs of such an organization for the temperance work in the town. Rev H. L. Slack very lemphatically said that he was in favor of all societies that did good work, but he thought that more could be accomplished in the temperance cause by the church of Christ. Men that had the cause of Christ in their hearts would cast their votes against the traffic of liquor and beer and neither drink or frequent saloons, consequently the busi- ness must die for want of patronage.
