over your city you cannot but help
the conclusion that in the past

tion broad and strong, but it took

anished-the foundation of all vast
schemes being the most difficult to

we doff our hat to that journal be-
cause it says that the State debt
should be adjusted aud paid If we

To those earnest, hopeful spirits
among the citizens of Pine Bluff,
who are striving to place the city
on plane of continuous prosperity,
we purpose to write few words of
encouragement: We know that you
are the salt of this city and that it
is through your strong and unfal-
tering devotion that your town has
risen to a leading position in the
social, commercial aud Intellectual
life of your State. Without you
Pine Bluff would have been a strag-
Cling village dependent upon one or
more saw mills and the limited trade
of few planters. With you it
stands, full and awakened and
hopeful, at the dawn OF brilliant
day. We know that in most of your
past efforts for the city's up-building
the croaker, the human tortoise and
the narrow spirited fellow-eitizen
has done his part to dampen you
ardor, ridieule your ambition, and
deny or belittle the value of your
service. Do not expect to be rid Of
such men when your efforts burst
into play They are here these
social burrs and inhere with para
site instinct in the oft pricked side
of progress, and really thrive apou
its thrift. They will not leave you
nor forsake you nor turn from fol-
lowing after you, because they feel
in their secret thoughts that this
would be very bad world without
you. We must presume, therefore,
that they arc here 10 stay and will
be at their old tricks as sean ,i as s

Two or moro bankruptcy bills are
now pending before Congress, and
it is believed that one of them will
become law before adjournment.
The Torrey bill on this subject
appears to be the measure most
favored by the bar and commercial
bodies, and will, doubtless, fill the
requirement of bankruptcy legisla-
ton more nearly at least than the
modified bill of Mr.. Bailey Of Texas.
The Torrey bill provides a permanent
complete, and equitable code of
voluntary and involuntary bank
ruptcy, while the bill of MIR. Bailey
is temporary inits scheme and would
initiate against the best
interest of debtor aad creditor
alike, We believe our rep
resentative in Congress would do
we'll to consider the Torrey bill
carefully, since a general bank
ruptcy bill is in continual and wide
spread demand.
