 Bogardus.

If we had only the real of this life to enjoy. dreary indeed would it be; and how incomplete a childhood, if fairy lore and fairy folk form no part of it. Even reading the great story of Cinderella. we pity her in her troubles. and rejoice with her in her final triumph. The people in the story become our friends. Baron Balderdash is bankrupt, his eldest daughters "after a husband" and Cinderella, the youngest child, abused, and kept in the ground. The Prince is searching for a wife; gives a ball, and meets this youngest daughther, whose god-mother has changed her rags to finest satin, and sent her to the ball with one wave of her magic wand. 'Tis F o'clock, Cinderella must go, but on the steps she leaves her tiny slipper. The Prince declares that whoever can wear this slipper shall be his wife and after the others have tried and failed ,0inderellaIappears, puts on the skipper and produces it's mate.

 In addition to Cinderella number of popular young ladies will introduce tbe" Humaniphone' during the last act. This promises to be one of the most unique parts of the evenings entertainment and will alone be well worth the price of ad- mission. Miss Bogardus will direct the "Humaniphone" performance in person, in which caBcity she will display some pretty stage dancing which is sure to please the audience.

THAT WAGON FACTORY.
No Site for the Building Has Yet
 Been Donated.

Truly our people seem utterly in different about factories, and yet if the town does not secure enterprises of that kind before many years, it will die of dry rot.
 Pine Bluff now has an excellent opportunity to secure the establish ment of g wagon factory in it's limits, and all the promoters of the enterprise ask as a bonus is a site on which to build the same. The gentlemen who propose to build this factory agree to give a bond for $20, COG as a guarantee that after the site is donated, they will, within ninety days, erect a plant on same which is to cost4not less than $10, : goo, and give employment to at least thirty skilled workmen.
 Unfortunately for the enterprise, these gentlemen are our ownoitizens and while they are backed by ample capital with which to do all they contract to dc, our property owners and people will not give them the assistance and encouragement that would have been extended to stran- gers. This is decidedly wrong, and such indifference on the part of car people to this important matter is sure toresult in great injury to cur city,

NUMBER 154.
A Narrow Escapc.

Friday afternoon about ) o'clock, Mr. Lew Owen had Q narrow escape with his life, but fortunately by the good luck which kind Providence sometimes bestows, he only sus- tained severe bruises, where, per haps, another man, under similar circumstances, would have been killed or maimed for life.
 Mr Owens owns a very beautiful and spirited buggy animal. and it's owner had been out for a short drive with his friend, Mr. Cokefair. The gentlemen alighted from the vehicle in front of Hotel Trulock, and the animal was hitched. During the absence of Mr. Owen, the horse slipped it's bride and soon after the owner came out and got into the buggy and the horse started off at rapid gait. There was nothing to guide the horse or check, its speed, so it dashed down the street and the buggy struck 8 telephone pole and Mr. Owen was thrown out and severely bruised. The horse con- tinued it's course unchecked until it reached the stable at which it is kept. Neither the horse nor buggy was injured.
