both houses of the Legislature this after

urges adoption OF the Ohio or Indiana sys-

Experiment in shipping Butter.

WASHINGTON, May 6-The first exper-
mental expectation of butter from this
country was made Wednesday from New
York; city, when the government, through
an agent sent by the Agricultural Depart
ment, shipped three-quaTters of ton of
selected butter for sale in Europe. The
result of this experiment is of great i'm
portance to the agricultural interests, as it
is the first step in an effort of the admin
istration to extend materially the market
for American butter, and gain some trade
with Great Britain in particular, which
Denmark practically controls with consid-
cradle profit An incidental object is to de-
termine what improvements are needed in
transportation facilities

GREENCASTLE, Ind, May 6.-Nearly all
the old De PAW students remember the
old Lynch homestead, at the foot OF West
Washington street, in this city. 1t is built
of brick and was erected in 1881. 1t was the
home of many of them, and it seems it was
a custom for the students at that time to
register their height on the walls of one
certain room. The highest mark Of any of
them was placed there by Daniel w. Voor-
bees on Sept. s, 1S47 when a student of Old
Asbury. Measurement shows that the Tall

inch in height. Among others whose names

Local JealOusIy.

The wave of prosperity will never strike Pine Bluff until her business men get over that spirit of jealousy of each other that now animates nearly all of their actions. The spirit will prevent theformation of eompa- nies which would establish industrial enterprises to build up the town. Let a number of enterprising men combine for any laudable undertak- ing, and at once q eabal is formed against them to defeat their projects. It is whispered around that there is bug under the chip; those fel- lows are scheming to make big money; we must have thelion share or we will kill the scheme" The enemies of progress begin to throw cold water on the work begun by their more progressive neighbors, until the latter finally surrender and give up enterprises, which if they had been encouraged, would have made our town metropolitan in size and in commercial importance second to none i'll the south. These are facts! Let our readers turn their memories back ward for a short period and they will recall many instances where our town has been robbed of large industrial enterprises and other Improvements by cer- tain class of people who resemble nothing s6much as they do the dog in the manager. Such people-they should not be called citizens-are a curse to community, and Pine Bluff will be blest when the present breed is exterminated.

LET US PULL TOGETHER.
Build Up Our Town, and Make It tn,
 Most Attractive Place In Arkansas.


 For the past week the Board of Public Affairs has been having some much needed work done open ing up and grading streets in the southeastern suburbs leading to the Sulphur Springs road; but, at a special meeting of the Council held last night, @ resolution was passed declaring that the work being done by the Bord was without authority and in excess of it's duties, and the work was ordered to be discon- tinued. This resolution, it seems to us, is decidedly against the.better interest of the city. At the present time the only outlet from the city to the Sulphur Springs road which is in Q passable condition runs through private property, and much of this property Chat which is owned by Col. R. A. Rodgers), is to be enclosed by wire fence, after which it will be almost impossible to reach the Sulphur Springs road.
 The Improvements that were be- ing made by the Board of Public Affairs would have cost the city but very small sum, as it was being done by city prisoners.
 The streets in the suburbs of the city should occasionally be worked, as well as those in front of the homes of Aldermen, as the property owners on them pay taxes for such a pur- pose.
 The resolution last night ordering the work being done by the the Board to be discontinued obtained the votes of a number of Aldermen from the fact that they believed that the property of several members of the Board of Public Affairs would be benefited and enhanced in value by the improvements. This is not true. Not a single member of the Board, so far as the Graphic can discover, owns single foot of ground along the streets to have been opened and graded, but, to the contrary, one member of the Board, who is pub llic spirited man, does own property along the route now taken by the travelling public to reach the road to Sulphur Springs, and he was willing to contribute from his own purse towards having 3 street grad.
