THAT'S WHAT OUR GREAT SPECIAL EDITION MEETS
 WITH.
The Great Army of Modern Pro- gression Grows Larger and Larger Each Sue
 cessive Day.

When the GRAPHIC first an nouneed it's great special issue, it of course expected a liberal patronage, knowing our people to be pushing and enterprising citizens.
 That patronage came, and with a rush, far beyond our most sanguine expectations. Never in the history of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county has single newspaper enterprise met with such liberal encourage ment, and for this we desire to thank our friends and citizens who have so liberally joined us in this enterprise. Special thanks are cer- tainly due our bar and city officials they have met Us more than half way and are with us almost to q man.
 The time is now ripe to push Pine Bluff to the front and our people recognizing this fact, are doing all in their power to aid the edition. We will certainly issue one of the most complete editions ever put forth from a press-room in the "hanner9 city of the State.
 Furthermore we propose to illus trate the edition with cuts of our principal buildings, etc, thus giv- ing you paper that you will e proud to send away from home-an edition telling what Pine Bluff is not the old stereotyped Pine Bluff of the past, but something new and original, no page and half write up. Space is being rapidly con- sumed and those desiring same will do well to call, write or telephone at once in order to secure it. We must commend Mr. David for the masterly manner in which he han dies the vast matter. Keep the ball rolling, We are of and for the people, of Pine Bluff first, last and al the time. Are you with us, or do you belong to the 'mossback" crowd? The edition will answer this question.

HE'S A GOOD FISHERMAN.
WILLIE MAYS GOES AFTER GAME WITH A DEBT
 HAND.
Just Like an Old Soldier in War Times, He Baits His Fish ing Hook and Lands
 Five Chickens.

Willie Mays. alias Willie Love, other alias unknown, is personally well acquainted with Farmer John NJ. Oracle. Mir Oracle has taken such pains to impress his personality upon his friends that Willie, of the numerous surnames, has just finished a successful effort to spend his sum- mer--in fact several ofhls summers as the guest of the well known Il nd prosperous farmer. It happens that long months ago wandering Willie wandered into Justice Nance's court in custody of a Deputy Sheriff Chicken was the bane of his life. He couldn't keep his eyes from good looking poultry and his hand had the same weakness. Judge Vance sent him to the farm. He didn't get chickens there. but he wasn't slow about it when he got out. Squire Isaiah J. Moore got him next and os course he went back. As he left Judge Moore's temple of justice he breathed hard and gasped: I'd sooner take the Keeley cure. {"
 Still the chicken question worried him. Gold or silver had no charms for him. The tariff was dead issue but the crow of cock or the cackle of hen was to his ears q melody divine. On that one subject of rais- ing fowls he thought by day and dreamed by night. Sometimes he worked, and his labor was crowned with infinite success.
 With fishing hook and line proper ly baited he tempted the chicken to taste. Silly bird that it was; it listened to the plaintive sounds of Williea voice as he sang in the moon light
 T am waiting my darling for thee.
 He didn't wait long.
 Four other birds were just as silly, and believed inst as implicitly in the seductive bait. All would hayegone well but for the fact that Mir. C. L.. Gresham didn't want anybody play ing with his chickens that way, and just because the owner objected to- day poor Willie was run in. Judge Vance gave him good long term at Mud Lake

Senator German had nothing to say
about the general situation, further
than that he was confident of the cleo

which he was identified.
Among other things, however, Mr..
German and Chairman Faulkner dis

been made upon the vote of Mr.. Bryan
at Lincoln, Neb, in 1892 for Mr.. Weav-

by dispatch from the Richmond Dis

Faulkner:

the Weaver people in carrying those
states. so as to prevent Harrison from
receiving electoral votes in Nebraska,
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon,
Nevada and California, and. as rule,
the Democrats followed the request of
