responding size. There are 36 flush
tanks OF 1870 gallons capacity, which
are fed from the city water works
and which supply water into the
sewer pipes at regular intervals. The
natural depression in the surface of
the ground afford easy outlets to
the Arkansas River.
Street drainage, vaults and waste
water from residences have direct
connection with the sewers, thus do
ing away with waste water, etc.,
standing and becoming stagnanf in
cutters.
A very great decrease in disease
and sickness has been very notice
able in this city since the completion
of the drainage system.
The people OF Pine Bluff are proud
of their city, it's achievements and
progress, and for the past ten years
have added new iaurels TO its
wreath OF success, but of all the
achievements and successes acquired
by the city, the building OF this
grand permanent drainage system
stands second TO none, and equaled
by only the water works, which two
systems go "hand in hand, not one
before t'other."

LANGFORD'S DAIRY.
Seriously Damaged by Fire
Last Night.

1t is not generally known, but
nevertheless it is a fact, that Mr., W,
II. Langford, Of the Citizens Bank,
is the proprietor of fine dairy on
the Cockrill place, just below town.
This dairy is stocked with the finest
Jersy cows, and is in charge of his
brother, Mr.. j. c. Langford.
This morning Mr.. Langford re-
ceived the information that during
last night his dairy was partially
destroyed by fire. Ills barn, con
tanning hay press, about twenty
tons of hay and milk wagon were
totally destroyed.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and is supposed to have been the
work of an ineendiary.

THE ADAMS WILSON
PRINTING co.
The Largest Exclusive Job Print
ing Plant In The State.

An exclusive Job printing office is
better prepared to do job printing
than n combined newspaper and
Job office. because the time Of the
is not divided between
two kinds OF labor. There is Just
one office of this kind in Pine Bluff,
and that is the Adams-W ilson Print
ing Co. 1t was formed by the con-
solidation OF the plant OF tile Wilson
Printing Co. and the Job rooms OF
the GRAPHIC, and it is therefore the
largest and best equipped Job print
ing plant in the State. The COM
pany's material Is new and strictly
up-to-date in every particular, and
there Is not a more modern printing
office in the South, or one prepared
to do better and quicker work. This
company has more job printing
presses-all the best make--than any
printing establishment in the State
OF Arkansas. and its capacity for
quick work is therefore uneXcelled.
A large stock of stationery, CON
sisting of letter, note and bill heads,
envelopes, cards, etc, is carried, and
speciality is made of catalogues,
price lists and lumbermen's sup
plies.
The Adams-Yilson Printing Co,
has unexeeled facilities for neat,
quick and cheap job printing OF
every description, and those in need
OF anything in that line would do
well to call and get samples and
prices before placing their orders.
Correspondence solicited and viii
receive prompt attention.

A GOLD BUG PREACHER
MIXES POLITICS WITH A FREE
SILVER CONGREGATION.
And the Brethren Promptly Pitched
Him Ont of the Window.

PocAHoNTAs, Ark, Aug 5.-A prayer
meeting at Dalton school house, in
Randolph county was the scene of a
riot very recently. The trouble
was precipitated by comment on the
silver question by the preacher, Rev
James Hogart. In the course of his
remarks he made some reference to
the silver question at which member
of the congregation arose and protested
against the attempt of the Rey. Mr..
Hogart to mix religion and politics.
The preacher made hot retort, and
in an instant great excitement pre-
vailed. Some one rushed into the pui.
pit and assaulted Mr. Hogart; others
came to his rescue and in moment
a free-foT all fight was in progress.
Benches and chairs were upturned;
men tore each others clothes, pum-
melled each other with their fists and
gouged each others eyes. When or
der was finally restored it was found
that Hogart had fled during the melee
and that while several of the belliger-
ents were badly bruised up, no one
was badly wounded.
The words that started the riot was
the minister's retort when interrupted
by member of his congregation, and
were: Anybody who will vote for
free silver ought 10 be pitched into
hell head foremost

THE DRAINAGE OF THE CITY
AND ITS COST.
IT is A GRAND SUCCESS.
The System a Complete and Per.
feet One and Built After the
Plans Adopted by the
Larger Cities of
America.

One OF the first and fundamental
principles OF the success OF city and
one in which the immigrant looks to
first among the advantages of city,
are its projections against conta-
gious seourges and the organization
of diseases.
In these latter days of the nine
tenth century, through not only
theory but practical experiment il
has been found that in a city with
good natural drainage, supplemented
by n perfect system of surface and
underground sewerage, that the pes
tiiences that for many years have
blighted the progress OF the whole
country are now OF rare occurrence.
Especially Is this SO in the South.
But a few years ago it was almost
an impossibility to induce n man
from the North or West to imnigrate
Southwark ON account of the many
pestilences that were of so frequent
occurrence in this country. During
the past fifteen years the whole
South has undergone a complete
change in its government and man.
agement.
Realizing that the lands south of
the Mason and Dixon line were the
garden spots Of the world, the diff
culties that for so long a period kept
out much immigration, were slowly
but surely removed, and today, the
result of the Judgment and wise adj
ministration of the city, county and
State officials is seen upon every
hand.
First the larger cities and then the
smaller ones began to build sewers,
and now almost every city OF any
proportion has some artificial sYs-
tenn of drainage. The result of this
grand achievement, although cost
ing millions OF dollars, has been
prime factor in the upbuilding of
the South and making 1T a much de-
sired country for immigrants from
the North and West.
Pine Bluff, like it's many sister
cities in not only Arkansas, but the
South, with an eye to its progress
and future prosperity, has built
system of drainage that has been
much complimented by engineers
and Others well versed in these mt
tiers.
The system was built at n cost of
$50,0O0. Work was begun in 1890
and completed in 1892
The main pipes are Is inches in
diameter with lateral pipes OF cor

A, ]. OWENS, THE COUNTER
FEITER, WANTS TO BE
FREE.
By the Aid of Clock Spring Fur
nished by His Son, the Pris
Oner Hoped to Saw His
Way to Freedom.

Yesterday afternoon late, young
Owens, the son of A. ]. Owens, who
is confined in the Jefferson county
jail on a charge of counterfeiting,
presented himself to Tailor Gibson
and endeavored to show that his
bump of flial love was abnormally
developed, in token of which he had
there for his poor father, who dealt
in ugly looking counterfeit $50 bills,
a basket of choice fruit. It takes
much to move men to tears, but the
prisoners wept. Mr.. Gibson was
feeling for his handkerchief when he
suddenly, through force of habit,
began to search that basket of fruit.
He found delicious peaches, a clock
spring of the finest quality of steel
of such hardness that a few hours
time would have suficed fer the
prisoner to be free.
Officers are after the boy. Such
love between father and son is COM
in the eyes OF the officers;
so praiseworthy, in fact, that when
the boy is caught they will put him
in jail. just to prevent a separation.

A CORRECTION.

Ia eur write Up Of Aitheimer and
sketch OF Mr.. j. S. Mcdonnell, an
error occurs, which is due TO the
haste OF preparation. In our sketch
OF hir. Mcdonnell, on page twelve,
the article says: "He is a large
handler of cotton, and out OF the
$500 bales shipped from Altheimer,
5000 belong to him, having been OBJ
tanned from his own places. The
article aforesaid should say that
he is largely interested in cotton,
and the largest shipper from Althei-
mer, but to say that Mr.. Mcdonnell
owns 5000 bales out OF the $500
produced at Altheimer is an over
statement Of the case.
