Notwithstanding the cold weather
there never has been in the history
of the capital, more brilliant and
social entertainments than are being

much prefer to hear Of a reduction in

A CHILD SHOT.
A BALL FROM A RIPE TEARS
THROUGH THE CHILD's
CHEEK
The Loaded Weapon Left Within
Reach OF the Child who
Attempted to Play
With it.

Saturday morning most distress.
ing accident occurred In this city,
in the East End, at the home OF Mr..
Arthur Young, an employe of the
Cotton Belt railway. Mr.. Young
was preparing to make visit to
the country and proposed to take
Winchester rise with him. He carried
the weapon to his home and placed
it on the Aoor under bed, and on
departing for his trip be forgot the
rife. This morning Roy, his little
2 year-old son, saw the weapon and
evidently, with childish curiosity,
thought it 9 pretty plaything, SO
he seized hold OF the rifle and at
tempted to hrs IL from under the
bed. The hammer caught in the
carpet and the weapon was dis
charged and the heavy ball went
crashing through the little child's
cheek, tearing . terrible hole and
making q serious wound. The bail
on entering the cheek, ranged down
the neck and came out on the back
of the shoulder. Fortunately no
bones we're brokes, and the little
one has chance for its life, though
probably a very slim one. The
child is grandson OF Patrolman Nj.
NJ. Field.
This accident is one OF many
which should teach people not to
leave fire arms within reach of
children.

For Police JUdge.-T, III. Brown.
Tn the proper place in this issue
will be found the announcement Of
Judge t. Hite Brown as a candidate
for reelection to the Office of City
Police Judge, subject to the action
of the voters Of Pine Bluff at the
municipal election on Tuesday, April
6, 1897.
Judge Brown is the present Police
Judge Of this city, and has been for
Inc last term Of two years, and dur
iae that period has made a most
honest and efficient public officer
lin feet, ia behalf of truth and JUS
tice, it is not amtss to say that
Judge Brown has given the people
tbe mosJ worthy and efficient adj
m5nisWation tbat has characterized
that Office ia many years.
The GRAPHc has at times plead
with Judge Brown to temper jus
siee with mercy IN the enforce
meat Of The vagrant act, and at
times has criticised him as being
q trida zoe severe in his judicial
Office, but, nevertheless, we have at
all times conceded shat be is con
scientious in his public acts, and
his administration has been charac-
terized by rugged honesty and a
severe and fearless discharge of his
official duties, which, after all, we
must admit, is in pleasing contrast
to the laxity and indifference that
have heretofore been common tc
that Office.
We, therefore, commend Judge
Brown to the voters of Pine Bluff as
being in every way worthy of Their
suffrage and support.

about II O'Clock. The residence was

formed that there was no insurance
on either building or furniture.
The county jail was destroyed by
fire Tuesday night last. 1t was
fired by two negro prisoners con.
fined in the iron cage. They claim
that they did not intend setting the
jail on fire, but were cold and made
a fire on the iron floor OF the cage
aud that the wooden floor beneath
caught and was under good head
way before they discovered 1t. When
the alarm was given Marshal Dreidel
FASTENED to the hotel for Deputy
Sheriff Townsend, who arrived on
the scene with the keys In time to
rescue the two inmates. Not much
effort was made on the part OF our
citizens to save the old excuse of a
jail, as no one particularly admired
the building.

A MANUAL AND REGISTER
Issued for the First Presbyterian Church,
of ThIs CITY.


of This city.
Today at the First Presbyterian
Church, after the services, will b
distributed among the congregation
a very neat and attractive manua
and register of the membership 0
the church for the year 1897.
The manual contains, in alpha
betical order, the names of all tn
members of the church and theii
number and address, together will
a short historical. summary, list o
the officers and societies of the con
gregation, and a directory for wor
ship.
The manual is in pamphlet shape
printed on a high quality of bool
paper. On the first cover page is ;
large and handsome half-tone en-
craving of the new church edific'
which stands at the corner of FiftE
and Walnut, and a very striking
likeness of the Rev. J. L. Caldwell
pastor, also adorns one Of the pages
The publishers of the manual ant
register are Messrs. Sam L. Jones
and B. W, Stewart, who are ex
perieneed In that class of work, ant
they have every reason to feel prout
of their recent labors.
The printing is the artistic worl
of the Adams Wilson Printing Co.
of this city, and Mr.. Jones was com
plimentary enough on yesterday tt
say that it was the prettiest job be
had ever had turned out of a print
ing Office, not even excepting the
larger cities.
The manual shows that there arc
$40 names registered as members o.
the First Presbyterian Church.
The historical summary is a;
follows.
HISTORICAL BRIEF.
In 1859 Rev. J. ]. Beozer came tt
Pine Bluff as Presbyterian Home
Missionary, During that year ht
organized the First Presby teriar
Church. It consisted OF only eight
members. Mrs John r. Gillespie Ii
now the only surviving member o.
the original little band.
After worshipping in a school
house In the woods, about where
the residence of Mr.. G. Vosa ia nov
situated, then IN the Courthouse
and occasionally In the Methodist
Church, q frame building was erect
ed IN 1861. Though this building
stood on what is now the corner o
Fourth Avenue and Chestnut street
it was then on the extreme edge 0
town. Mr.. Boozer continued t,
serve as pastor until he died In 1864
He was succeeded by Rev. Evande
McNair, who was pastor from 1866
to 1873. Upon his removal, Rev
VIM. Dabney served the church I'm ii
1880. Rev. J. A. Dickon D. D.
became pastor in 1880, and faithfully
served the church until the Spring
of 1898. The church had 80 increas
ed In membership that it became
necessary to enlarge the building
In the summer of 1893 this building
was burned, Rev. J. L. Caldwell
D. D., became pastor that Fall. II
the Spring of 1894 the congregation
purchased a new lot, on the corner
of Fifth avenue and Walnut street
and built its present commodioui
edifce, which was dedicated com
plete and without debt in the Spring
of 1895. In November of the same
year the congregation began the
handsome parsonage, which nov
stands on the corner of Sixth ave
nue. and Pine street.
God has blessed this church. From
a very small beginning it has stead
lily grown until it is now as strong
as any Presbyterian Church in tht
State.
