D. B. RlGGIN ASSIGNS.
Losses Caused by the Burning of His
 Plant Causes His Failure.

Mir. D. B. Riggin, proprietor of the Riggin blaming mill, could not overcome the severe financial loss sustained by him two years ago when his plant was destroyed by fire, and on yesterday he executed q deed of assignment to Mir. C. NJ. Philpot for the benefit of creditors. The claims against Mir. Riggin up to ? o'clock this afternoon amounted to $2,000. The assets in real and personal property are believed to be amply sufficient to pay all indebted ness.
 The failure of Mir. Riggin will cause sincere sorrow to our people who know and esteem him highly. He has been engaged in business in Pine Bluff for many years and all of his transactions have been honorable aad to his credit.
