 Given Fine Hats.

The Kaufman Bazaar Company, always alert and enterprising, an nounces that it will give to each per ncoming out second in the GRAPH IC's typewriter and bicycle contests, if such persons are ladies, the choice of any hat displayed at their fall opening.

FOR GOOD ROADS.
The Bicycle Promises to Be a Boon to the
 Farmers of Jefferson County.

The bicycle is not only a health giver and a health-preserver, in as much as it strengthens the muscles inVigorates the system and is much more preferable to ride than a buggy or horse, but if is destined to be a powerful factor in causing the roads ofithis county and State to be im- proved. The Wheelman must have good roads to thoroughly enjoy his rides, and for this cause he will be willing to give his heartest efforts. Good roads should be the eparamOunt question in every country and the lovers of good roads certainly have a warm friend in a bicycle rider, and the rapid increasing number of wheelman in Jefferson county will work wonders for the roads that, for months in each year, are now almost impossible for teams and ut terly so for the Wheelmen.
 The good seed has been sown, and it is now sprouting and ready to burst forth and become a strong and vigorous plant, for movement is on foot to organize the wheelmen of Pine Bluff into a Good Road Club. A meeting of all bicycle riders and others interested in good roads will be called tomorrow afternoon-the time and place of the meeting will be published tomorrow = and the GRAPHIC sincerely hopes that the at tendance at this meeting will be large. The object of the proposed club, as it's name indicates, is for the purpose of improving the roads of the county. Our merchants and farmers are yitally interested in this movement, and should give it their heartest support. Good roads are as essential to the prosperity and growth of 8 city as they are to the rural districts, as they promote com merce nearly. if not as much, as do railways. Give the Good Road Club your aid and support and the roads of Jefferson county will soon be vastly improved.

 Who Can Beat It?

Mir. John Clement, of this county, carried two watermelons to Pine Bluff this week that weighed 223 pounds. He offered them for sale to several business men of that city at B cents. A dispute about their weight ensued and finally merchant offered cents per pound for all over hundred pounds they might weigh which was agreed too and Mr. Clem- ent received quite neat sum for his two melons. These are the largest melons we have ever known raised in Arkansas or any other saw. But when we remember that Grant county can beat the world on nearly every other product we are not surprised by the weight of her melons. Fifty to seventy-fiye pound melons are common in Sheridan. n.-Sheridan Headlight.

by the Harvard and Pennsylvania facuI-
~ committees to-day:
Since the recent Harvard Penns,l-
Nania football game the newspaper crit
cisms of decisions rendered by the nm
pre- and referee have induced "a popular
behef that the University of Pennsyl-
wanna Is unwilling 10 accept the result
plantations
IL happens. also, that charges Of UNI
FAIRNESS, purpOrting TO cmanate from
Harvard, have been preferred publicly
Ifainst Pennsylvania as respects the
playing Of Brooke upon her team
In the interest Of intercollegiate sport.
II seems proper TO meet these criticisms
by single official statement to the
effect that at neither university are ~
athletic authorities in any way respon-
points
As a matter of fact, the referee and
umpire were accepted by Pennsylvania
ana she Is content TO abide by their
decisions without the appearance Of cast
ing suspicious on them as TO their in
tegrity
"On the other hand. Brooke's eligibility
was fully discussed before the game was
played, ana was made the subject Of
correspondence and confidence
Pennsylvania decision that Brooke
should take part in the game was based
upon his eligibility under the rules of
that institution. and was voluntarily ac-
quiesced IN by the Harvard authorities
In playing him Pennsylvania broke no
rule and violated no principle
