The ;ast week has been one of gayety and amusement. The Great Fair has become a thing of the past, Thos. Keene has come and gone, aud altogether one of the most mem orable weeks in the chronicles Of Pine Bluff has passed into memory and history. But there was a gay old time in town while it lasted, and the community has been =reinyigor- ated and innervated thereby The city has been rebaptised in the fount of activity, and there has been such general re-awakening as has not been known here in years. Pine Bluff has awakened from her lether- gy and inertia of the past few years and has gain forged to the front in progressive enterprise. It has been demonstrated beyond peradventure that fair is a good thing, and we can henceforth expect it to be an annual event of increasing interest, We are reioiced to see the re-awak- ening. It is pleasing to observe that Pine Blunians are themselves again. With the same enterprise and energy that characterized our citi- zens q few years ago when they built up the town from a population of 5000 to l5,000, they can build t up to 30, GOO. What we need here is a general re-awakening, a ro.baptism at the fount of progress, a separa- ton from the old raw-hido that has bound us in the hands Of inactivity, a confidence ia ourselves, our city and our county, a re-inspiration to great deeds in all that adds to the material prosperity and happiness of a people, a love for our neighbors and loyalty for our community, our home and our native land Ii the successful Fair just closed shall serve to refivify and reutalize this community, its possibilities for good are utterly illimitable.
 Pine Bluff is the greatest town on earth, and it can be made the most prosperous aud happy community under Gods glorious and shining sun, if our people will but work in harmony and stand together for the accomplishment of this noble and grand purpose.

CONWAY, Ark, Oct. Is. 1897, Editor Graphic:
 Dear Sir:-Belieying that you arc interested in theprosperlty of Arkan- sas and that you recognize the value of good roads. seek your aid to ad- vance the good roads movement. When the people understand the commercial value of improved high ways, they will demand the enforce ment of present laws and the pass age of more practical and effective measures. The last legislature passed q law with many admirable features, and yet 1t is so poorly un- derstood that only d few counties are using it. A Constitutional amendment will be submitted at the next election. It's adoption will make large improvement possible. It is highly important that both measures be fairly ard fully pre-. sented so that the people may vote intelligently for their real interests.
 To this end an educational cam paign in each county is necessary. The road question, untrammeled by party issues or preiudiees, should be agitated and all pubilc-spirited men invited to secure better roads. Thore is much good literature and many good ruen are interested, but the movement needs closer organization. That tho road question may be dis cussed on it's real merits, desire to find in each county n man with the following qualifications:
 l. He will not be acandidatein the next election.
 ?. He is reasonably popular, Op- poses OF supports measures rather than men.
 3. He is willing and able to present. the question attractively and efFec- lively aud to organize judiciously.
 | He is deeply interested and will give time 10 the cause.
 Ii you know of such q mHn, please give me his name and address. Ii you are not personally acquainted with the right man. confer with dis erect friend, and on their advice rec ommend one or more men. Please to give us such information as pos siblo about the man suggested. and l if you are in doubt. recommend sev- eral and state their different qualid- cations and the peeulIarlties of the situation in your couRty, so that l may make q final choice. Give as much information as possible rela- tive to the road question in your county, the name and P. c. of Conn. ty Judge, and state whether the new law has been adopted by your Coun- ty Court. \. C.

EDITOR ADAMS, of the Pine Bluff GRAPHIC, devotes much space in recent issue of his paper to an edito- rial on .'Plueky Greece. What effect such writing on such subjects will have in encouraging the develop ment of the splendid agricultural, horticultural and timber resources of the Pine Bluff section of the State VIC are not prepared to say, but we would suggest that our young jour- nalistic brother devote his talent and newspaper space to the build iEg up of home interests. The major ity population of Jefferson county cares more for plenty of grease in the form of good bacon than for "PIucky Greece. Fort Smith Eic- uat0f.
 The GRAPHIC has been talking both grease and Greece to the people of Jefferson county. As q newspaper it's business is 10 talk both. While the people are inter- csted in grease, hog and hom- inyn and "sieh like, they are also interested from impulses of cigiliza- ton, Christianity and humanity in

 In the waiting room of the railroad station at the foot of Montgomery street, Jersey City, sat a well dressed elderly man and woman, people of evident re- speetability They had just arrived on an incoming train. They were waiting to make arrangements for the transfer of their baggage to this city. Beside the man was a gripsack labeled Weaver, Hamilton, Canada.

unpopular with the voters. More important yet as a rallying cry is opposition to corporate dominitaon of legislative bodies, which in this State would be synonymous with op- position to erYkesism and Tanner ism. If Mayor Harrison, by means of his power IS the Democratic chief executive Of this city, can prevent the extension of franchises on terms unfavorable to the people, start will have been made Then, if the Democratic party of illinois pledges itself to the repeal of the Allen law and sim liar measures passed by the last general assembly aud approved by Gov Tanner, and if the Republican organization remains in control of the Tanner crowd, democratic sue cess in this State would be assured. If the republican party, however, should shake off the bosses who now rule the organization in this State, the outcome of the contest might be more uncertain.
 On the questions of the tarid and the domination of legislative bodies by corporate wealth the democratic party would draw to it's support thousands of voters who refuse to believe in free silver q cure for ex- isting political ills.-Chicago Reeord.

IN the matter of the distribution of premiums for exhibits at the Jef- serson County Fair it is but natural that there should be some disap- pointments. Of course, all exhibi- tors could not receive first premi- ums, and all the exhibits were of such an excellent order that the judges had most difficult and deli cate task to perform. But under all circumst tances the judges of the Vari- ous departments awarded the prizes according to their best understand ing Of the conditions of the exhibits and the rules for making the awards. But it is natural that with so many fine exhibits to select from and only one frst-class prize to be given, that there should be some disap- pointment, which, we hope, will be taken with good feeling. The Fair and exhibits were | grand success, and every exhibitor is entitled to praise and credit for the part he took in contributing to Pine Bluffs great entertainment.
