An Opportunity Given Every One to
 Enjoy Thanksgiving.
 There will be but little business doing in Pine Bluff on Thanksgiving day, fer the day will be devoted to giving thanks to the diety for the many blessings He has showered on our people, and to spending the re- maining hours in the pleasure.
 Nearly every business house has signed a petition in which they agree to close on Thanksgiving day at noon.
 This is the proper spirit, and does credit to our merchants. It will give heir employees, whohave served them faithfully, half day of rest and enable them to attend the races at the park in the afternoon. "Al work and no play"is not good for man, and this one afternoon spent in recreation will be worth much to both employe and employer.

RECKLESS DRIVING.
R. D Chestnut Drives Into And KHis n
 Horse Riddon by Graphic Carrier.

Fast driving is not only danger ous but it is in a violation of city ordinance, yet mary people will per- sist in speeding their horses through the principal thoroughfares of the city.
 A case of this kind occurred about SIX o'clock yesterday evening which resulted in the death of handsome pony owned by MT. Porter Lindsay, one of the GRAPHIC carriers.
 The pony on this occasion was ridden by younger brother of young Lindsey, who had just de livered a GRAPHIC at the residence MT. J. B. Talbot and was guiding his animal into the street when a cart driven at tremendous speed dashed down the street. Young Lindsay saw the cart coming and tried to get out of the way, but be- fore he could so the shaft of the rapidly approaching vehicle struck his horse and penetrated it several inches. The pony staggered back ward and fell to the ground and in a few moments bled to death.
 The driver of the cart who proved to be MT k. D. Chestnut, did not stop to ascertain the result of the collision, but just as soon as the shaft of his vehicle was pulled from the quiyering wound made in the pony, he whipped up his harse and disappeared in the darkness.
 The pony was owned by young Lindsay, who by carrying the Daily GRAPHIC in all kinds of weather, earned the money with which to purchase the animal and it's loss is keenly felt by him.
 The accident might have had 9 mort serlous result than the killing of the pony for had the shaft of Mr. Chestnut's vehicle missed the pony
