The Progressive Farmer prints reso-
lutions of the wool-growers demand
ing a higher tariff and says: IF the
wool-growers of this country will
scratch their heads and think little,
they will conclude that the tariff has
not had so much to do with lowering
the price of wool as they claim in the
above articles. Wool will never be a
good price again until the financial

1t is an interesting and important
fact Just discovered that the States
mans Year Book for 1885, which is an
eminentBritish authority ON geography
and statistics and has been so recog
nized for thirty-two years, gives the
lied for thirty-two years, gives the
erea of British Guiana as 10000 square
miles. while the same authority for
1895 gives the area at 100000 square
miles. an increase of 80 900 square
miles in that British colony within ten
years. which is unaccounted for by
treaty or recognized conquest. An
other interesting fact is that although

A Splendid Showing.

The report of the Police Juege for the month of June shows that fines to the amount of $500 in cash, and $125 worked out by prisoners on the streets, were collected during the month. This speaks volumes for the efficiency of the police force under the management of Chief Stewart. It also shows that Judge Brown is determined to put down lawlessness in Pine Bluff and that violators of our city ordinances must expect to pay good round sum into the city treasury when they are brought before him, Pine Bluff will soon be out of debt. Hurrah for our police department

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT.

Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, in his lecture on Visions and Dreams, has given expession to a beautiful thought, dooubtless an epitome of the experience of most public men, says the FenarEaaiian, and as the same may be valuable to aspir- ing youth, haunted by the song of the siren, ambition, and because it so aptly Illustrates the emptiness of all earthly honors and wealth, we re- produce it. He says:
 When as mere boy on the farm on the banks of the Watauga river l used to steal an hour occasionally, to sit under the sycamore trees and dream of the future. l thought if l could get off of the farm and into a city and be lawyer, my cup Of hap piness would be full. I went to the city, learned a few legal phrases, and my ambitions were to go into poli- tics. My people sent me to Con- gress, where I staid for two years with the great men of the country. My dreams were then to be Governor of Tennessee, the greatest State of the Union, and l thought my happi- ness would be complete. For two terms the people of Tennessee have honored me with that position of their chief executive. My ambitions have all been realized. l have min gled with the great and rich men of the country and have been on high pinnacles of politics, but say to you after a careful review of the past, ;. sigh to sit me under the shadow 0 the old sycamore trees of the Wata- uga and live again the life of the farmer boy. There along in perfect peace, joy and contentment. have no political ambition to satisfy-my greatest desire is to get on a good farm, with my wife and children, and there pass the closing years of my life.

Supt. Raeber and Attorney Bridges being present were asked if the Receiver would accept warrants payable July, 1897, in pay ment of the account, replied theirpos itive instructions from the Receiver were to receive only such warrants as were being issued to all creditors of the city, i. e. July, 1896. After considerable debate participated in by representatives of the Water x Light Comrany and members of the Council, Alderman Well moved that the account for June, 1895, be paid b. warrants payable July, 1895, and | e balance of the account in warrants due July 10, 1897.

WHERE IS WOLF?
Is the Question That His Creditors are
 Vainiy Asking.

o. F. Wolf, proprietor of the Mer- chants Exchange saloon, is missing, and has numerous creditors who are greatly alarmed at his non appear ance. Mr. Wolf left Pine Bluff Sum- day with the intention of going to Bearden, and was to return Monday, but when last heard from he was at Camden and on his way to Texas. MT. Wolf came to Pine Bluff several months ago from Bearden and leased the building on the corner of Main and Barraque streets and with the financial aid of several friends opened a saloon. Since that time he did fairly good business and is supposed to have taken in between $1, GOO and $1, 300. His rents for building and bar fixtures were paid promptly in advance, and he gained fair reputation by paying his bills when presented. No one was afraid to let him have what he wanted on time, and in the last two months he ran up bills amounting to several hundred dollars, with cigar makers whiskey and beer dealers and mer- chants. Sunday when he left Pine Bluff he carried all of his cash with him, and the prospects are that he will never show his face in Pine Bluff again.
 Mir. James T. Matthews is one O the heaviest losers by the action O. MT. Wolf, for that gentleman in dorsed his paper for nearly $2O0 and loaned him about $200 in cash be- sides. Rodewold & Kratzmier and Baughman & Baughman are also heavy losers.
 Mr. Matthews, at 1 o'clock today had the saloon placed in the lands of the Sheriff. There is nothing in the saloon, however, besides a few gallons of whisky and box or two of cigas, so that the creditors will have to grit their teeth and stand their losses as best they may. Even the city license, for the present quarter, is due. From what we can learn Wolf has made quite nice lit tie stake and has gone abroad to en- joy it.

FuIfIlment of a Deed of Gift


 ATLANTA, Ga., June 29.--the mar riage of Stanmore Brooks Townes, a prominent young lawyer, and Miss Fanna Rosa Atkinson, is the eulmi- nation of an unusual romance. Miss Atkinson was deeded to Mr. Townes when she was one year old and he was two. Their parents were close friends and the mother of the little girl so loved the boy that she made 8 formal gift in writing of her child to him. The family separated short ly after this. 1t was not until Townes was 20 that he saw the charming Miss Atkinson. Knowing nothing of the peculiar gift of eigh- teen years before, he fell in love with the young lady. He was then 8 student at Columbia college. After graduation he came to Atlanta. She in the meantime had come here to teach school. When he heard of the deed of gift he declared that he was going to hold her to it, and the mother who had written it was pres ent at the pretty wedding, which came as fulfillment of her peculiar prediction.
