FINISHED ITS LABORS.
The State Pharmaceutical Association Elects Officers and Adiourns.-Littie Rock Selected as the Next 
 Meeting Place.

The Arkansas Association of Phar- maeists closed it's thirteenth annual meeting last afternoon.
 While the present meeting was not largely attended it proved to be most interesting, and the delegates took part in debates upon the various subjects that came up>in manner that indicated great interest in the work of tLe Association.
 Q. At the afternoon session Q report of the Executive Committee was made, followed by reports of the special committees.
 Mr. W. L. Dewoody, State Delegate to the American Pharmaceutical Associa tion, introduced the follow ing resolution, which was unani- mously adopted by the State Phar- maceutical Association:
 WHEREAS, .Phe position of pharma- cists in both the army and navy of the United States is such as not to invite nor secure the services of the most competent men for this impor- tant work, and their degraded posi- tion in the United States service com pares so unfavorably with their higher official recognition in other civilized countries that it would ap- pear that we are less careful and con- siderate of the health and lives of soldiers and sailors than other coun- tries, therefore be it
 Resolved, That we most heartily endorse the legislation advocated by the committee of the American Phar- maceutical Association looking to the higher official recognition of pharmacists in our army and navy, and respectfully request our Sena- tors and Representative in Congress to use their best efforts in securing the passage of such legislation as requested.
 The following officers of the Asso- ciation were elected for the ensuing years:
 A. L. Morgan, of Camden, Presi- dent; W. l.. Carr, of Texarkana, First Vice President; J. H. Mann, of Pine Bluff, Second Vice-President; J. F. Dowdy, of Little Rock, Secretary; John A. Junkind, of Little Rock, Treasurer,
 On motion the Association ad- journed, to meet in Little Rock on the Second Tuesday in May 1896.

OTHER PAVING DISTRICTS.
Pine and Chestnut Streets to He Paved-
 This Is Certainty.

Two other paving districts have been organized, and petitions, signed by citizens owning majority of the property on Pine street from Third to Fifth avenue, and on Chestnut street, from Third to Fourth avenue, will be presented to the City Council at its next meeting for action by that body. Commissioners for the two districts will doubtless be at once appointed and the work of paw ing the streets will be begun as soon as vitrified brick can be secured. These petitions bear the signatures of citizens who own $4, ,000 over half the property on those thoroughfares between the points named.
 Efforts are being made to have Main street, from Third to Sixth avenue, thrown into paving dis trict, and nearly enough signatures have been secured for the purpose; the remainder will be secured before the close of the week.
 With these improvements Pine Bluff will be quite a city-like place, and the property on these avenues and streets will be doubled in value. Let the good work go on. Pine Bluff is surely coming to the front. Her people are determined that she shall ere many years be .the first city in the State, instead of taking second rank.

>For Saturday Purchasers.

nership with saloons and levy black mail upon gamblers and houses of prostitution, proverty and vice will go hand in hand; the criminal class will multiply and vice will manifest itself in theft, robbery, rape, murder and arson, and your son may be of this class. The most shocking feat ure of American life today is the clamor for reformatories for young criminals, instead of shutting them up in the penitentiaries with old and hardened criminals. Arkansas needs such an institution, and needs it badly, we regret to say; for the read CTS of the daily papers will remember how many children of tender years have recently been arrested in this city for crimes against society and the laws of the State. The parents of these children are to blame, and God will hold them responsible. These children were never taught that integrity was the basis of char acter; that to dishonor is to defraud, that to lie is as bad as to steal, that to make promise and to break it was hurtful to character and @ crime against upright manhood.
 The young ladies of our city, if they would, could do much to improve our society. It is the duty all who are virtuous and decent to shun and avoid the corrupt and bad. A young lady should not tolerate in her presence or parlor boy who is idle and indolent, who spends money that he does not earn, who weares clothes and eats food earned by others. Young ladies, choose your company from those who abstain from drinking and are not addicted to gambling. To these vices, alone, are traced the ruin of many happy homes. Use your influence for good, and the uplifting of our young men, and the loving God will reward you by giving you a loving, tender and noble husband instead of a rue, drunkard and gambler
 To the young men we say, be men; have an ambition to rise in the world! Do not be content to be plodders. God did not put you here for that. Improve your time, euftl- yate your minds while you young that your lives may be prosperous!

That Arkansas is attracting atten- tion the number of capitalists now coming into her borders seeking in- vestments bears testimony, and we stand in our own light when we try to make fortune out of a small in- vestment. 1t is perfectly proper and right for every man to design to bet ter his condition and improve his financial standing but it is wrong to bleed investors because they fancy your property. Place a reas- enable price on your belong ings, if you want to sell, then the first person who comes to your figures, sell; but don't have 8 price which you raise at the first intimation of purchaser for fear that you have not asked enough at first.

CIUDAD PORFIRIo DIAz, MEXICO
 July 8, 1895.
 MT. J. w. Adams, Editor and Manager Pine Bluff Graphic, Pine Bluff, Ark:
 DEAR SIR:-The paper you sent me came duly to hand, and contents very much appreciated. Your Mex leo trip and silver items were inter- esting; your experience with the ex- change of monies was instructive.
 The people who do not see these operations, and learn from experi- encee, do not understand the situa- tion as well as those who handle sil- yer bullion and ore in as large quan- titles as we at the border.
 Free and unlimited coinage of sil- yer means to those who understand it, simply that the United States would besthe dumping ground of the silver product of the world; it would cease to be counted by the dollar, but would circulate by the pound or ton. The United States could not hold the price long. Supply and de- mand" governs values. Five thou sand carpenters in Pine Bluff would paralyze the wages of your mechan- ics, while reduction to fifty would make them feel like bloated bond holders. See last number North American Review on free silver.
 If at any time 1 can be of service to you or your friends at the frontier, kindly advise me. Yours truly,
 I N SuAIsrI,p
