DIED.

ALEXANDER, in Pine Bluff. Ark,
Saturday, November q. 1896, at !
O'Clock n. m. ANNIE SHERiaLL, daug
ner OF Mir. and Mrs. Y. O. Alexander,
aged q months.
The Angel of Death has touched
another beautiful blossom and
called it to its heavenly home; and
today the hearts of the parents OF
little Annie Sheriff. Alexander are
oyerburdened with sorrow, for
death "lies on her. like an untimely
frost On the sweetest flower of all
the field" Words can not portray
this feeling of the mothers heart.
There is no grief like unto it
Rachael weeping for her children,
and refusing to be eomforted, be-
cause they are not.
The bereaVed parents have the
sympathy OF the entire community.
and may they take comfort in the
Thought that God in His moral TIL
| lage cuItivates many flowers seem
ingly only for their exquisite beaGty
and fragrance, and yet ere they
burst into full and perfect blossom
the Divine hand gathers them from
the earthly field to be kept in crystal
vases in the deathless mansion
above. Thus little children die
some in the sweet bud. some in the
fuller blossom; but never too early
to make heaven fairer and sweeter
with their immortal bloom.
The funeral services over the
earthly remains OF little Annie Sher-
rill Alexander will take place from
the family residence, on West Fourth
avenue. at 3 O'Clock today, Rev,
]. l.. Caldwell officiating.

the murder of a negro farmer named

committed the crime, but at the
examining trial the State failed to
make q case, and she was released.
Since that time, however, additional

To Our subscribers.

During the present month state
ments have been sent to such of our
subscribers as are in arrears to the
Semi Weekly GRAPHIC. These state
ments of accounts are in pursuance
of the customary business policy,
and we hope our subscribers will
receive them with good will and
make as early response as possible.
If any mistakes have been made in
any of these statements OF account,
the same will lie promptly and
cheerfully corrected at our business
office.
During the last few years the
GRAPHIC has been lenient with its
delinquent subscribers, and at the
same time has changed from a
Weekly to Semi Weekly newspaper
thereby giving its readers two
papers a week, with more reading
matter, for the former price Of one.
Therefore we must ask those who
are indebted to us for subscription
to settle the same at once without
further delay. The GRAPHIC needs
money and has earned that which is
due 1t, and there is no reason why
its subscription accounts should not
be paid the same as other accounts.
Those who are in arrears to the
GRAPHIC will therefore save them
selves time and trouble by settling
their Indebtedness at once.

Last week was the best for
business enjoyed by Pine Bluff

and the money paid for this cotton
was at once spent for goods, max
ing business exceeding brisk in all
lines.

mems goods, buggies, harness, etc,
and in an interview with Mr.. G.
Voss, which followed, that gentle.
man said:
During the present week my
business has been unusually good.
and it is a remarkable fact that our
firm sold more buggies during the
past thirty days to eolored people
than we have to white citizens.
This shows their prosperous con.
dition. The average negro of today
is taking more pride in his home
and surroundings, and is spending
his earnings in useful things, IN
stead Of squandering it in drink
and gambling, as be formerly did.
The above condition being true,
there is a bright outlook in Ark
ausas for the negro.
