ABOUT TO FALL THROUGH.
The Movement to Close the Business House of the City at 6
 O'Clock.

The GRAPHIC regrets to chronicle the fact that the contrariness of one merchant is about to cause the 6 o'clock closing movement of the business houses of Pine Bluff to fall through. All the prOprietors of the stores in the city have signed an agreement to close at 6 o'clock, ex- cept one, and this man has so far re- fused to do so. By his action, should the movement fall through, he will force hundreds ofemployes to beeoniinedin in the stores several hours longer in the evenings when they could be out enjoying a little recrea- ton. This merchant will certainly not make friends nor money by his action, and it is to he hoped that he will reconsider and do as all other business men have agreed to do. In the end he will find that he will do iust as much business as if he had kept his store open until 10 o'clock every night.

your farm for enough money to buy as productive in Arkansas where you can enjoy the above and many other benefits we have to offer you, to- gether with hearty welcome by the most hospitable people on earth.
 Will you investigate? Or will you continue to waste your energy and money by spending more than one. half of your earnings and two-thirds Of your time in the mere effort to keep warm and comfortable?
 Paste in your hate this clipping from the editorial columns of the St. Louis Republic:
 ''In the whole State of Arkansas there is scarcely county In which q man cannot live without any work at all if he Is satified with mere ex- istence. All the work of any in- dustrous and thifty man counts, be- cause nothing is wasted in the mere preservation of existence.
 Accumulation of wealth consists of producing more than you con snme and saving the surplus. That is the formula of all political econ omy.
 'sln the south a given exertion will produce a greater margin of surplus than i'll the north.
 With increasing population the south will use the best processes more extensively-machinery, banks railroads and telegraphs. It will save more and, consequently, invest more.

TO THE NORTHERN FARMER.
Why You Should Leave the Frigid North and Come to Arkan-
 sas.

l. Because your hard, long win ters with all that is involved in the way of bodily suffering, cessation of farm work, cost of heavy clothing. fuel, and of housing and feeding stock can be supplanted by short, mild winters, without corresponding increase Of heat in summer, thus doubling the money making period every year.
 3. Because the growing season here extends so nearly through the whole of the year that you will be enabled to produce something to sell every month of the year.
 4. Because you will find here that many new and profitable farm, garden and orchard products can be added to those you are now grow ing, which, on account of maturing so early in the season, command much higher prices than the same products raised further north.
 1. As we are long" on land and 'sshort" on farmers, you may sell
