There was a clergy mems division, as we'll as business mems, military. ladies', mail car- rier's, and divisions of clubs, civic societies and secret organizations. The streets along the route were lined with spectators who applaud ed vociferously the many humor- ous and grotesque features of the parade.

A Literary Association.

Prof. Johnston, who is represen ting the University Association, with head quarters at Chicago, succeeded in or ganizing center of the Association in this city last night. A few who are most interested in the project met at the Merrill Institute and effected an organization. The following officers were elected: President, S. 4. Kin caide, Yiee- President, Miss Julia Fall, Secretary, Geo. s. Valiant, Treasurer, Mrs. Lee Fox, Leader. Prof. J. H. With erspoon. These officers to hold said offices for the ensuing year. The first regular meeting of the Association, when the first recitation will be held, will be next Thursday the 30th inst. There will be, however, another meet ing for the purpose of enlarging the membership of the Association tomor- row Saturday. night. There Is pros- pect of very good membership in this association. Pine Bluff should have membership in such an assocIa- tion of at least one hundred men and ladies who are interested in higher ed- ucation, and the probability is that the larger part of this number will be secured. The study and the regular meetings will be full of interest and the club will have visit of q lecturer about once month, who will visit the city, give a lecture and confer with the Association as to the progress be- ing made. It is expected that no or ganization ever organized in Pine Bluff will prove greater success ifthe proper people in the city take interest in it. The Merrill Institute, which ought consistently be headquarters for educational influences, will be the place of meeting of the Association.
