Remember when
others forget?
Laugh lightly, when hope Is taking
Its final farewell of you; yet
Meet the world. and strive on to the
ending
OF life, be 1t ever so drear;
Firm in faith, with falter, unbending
With never sigh or a tear?"
''All this can l do said she.
Can you face your life If left lonely
While another has gained his rest,
And you have the memory only
OF one who was truest and best?
Forever to you the worlds brightness
Then passes away for aye;
Can pierce through that darkest day
"All this can / do" said she.
Can you pause to do deeds of kindness
In the midst Of your deepest woe?
For grief, 1t must not bring blindness
To the trials of others below.
You must ever strive on, and your Sor-
row
Though heavy and sore to bear,
Remains till the dawn Of that morrow,
When pain it is no more there
"All this can l do" said she.
Made answer the wise man slowly:
''If this can be so, and thou
Canst bear grief, yet help the suffer-
ing,
Thou hast a soul even now"

Cotton opened off this morning in sympathy
with the foreign market, but n recovery on
the other side was followed by one here.
In their cotton advices this morning, Price,
Mccormick a. Co. wire Allen a. Lynch: THE
arrival market in Liverpool this morning
was reported from PA to 3-64 below yester-
days final quotations, which was about
equal to the decline recorded here yesterday
afternoon. Spot sales aggregated lO,OO bales,
with quotations lie lower Receipts at Gal
weston today are estimated at 1852 against
1856 last week and 2600 year ago. The total
port arrivals of the day are estimated at So,-
600 bales. against 85,0ll last week and 25oOi
last year The market at present depends
almost entirely upon receipts, but as the
chances appear TO favor continual decrease
in the movement in the near future, opera
tons for an advance would appear preferable

The wheat market also showed considerable
strength today. The Beerbohm cables to Sui
livan, Riley a. CO. show that IN London the
opening in wheat was rather easier. Corn
was steady. In Liverpool wheat futures
opened nominal and I'D lower. Corn was
quiet and a lower. The Argentine cables
continue TO report worse conditions.

that he Is a little afraid of the present prices.
He has no faith in the extremely bad news
and: looks for lower values, and Farnum
says: II would not wonder If the price OF
wheat yesterday was as high as it will be for
the present. People who are looking for an
immediate advance were disappointed at the
actions of the market and sold Another class
who were disappointed were those who were
looking for serious damage 20 the winter
wheat crop. While there is dull demand for
cash wheat here, you can see that IL is not
very pressing by the fact that January wheat
is cents under May. We have had n steady
pressure of bull news for quite while and IL
the market stops advancing 1t will not be
strange IL we begin to get figures that Will
not read as strong as those shown today"

ufacture of cotton goods, both in the coarser and finer fabrics, and is illustrated by the action Of tFe Fall River cotton manufacturers in re- dueing the wages Of their employees ten per cent, for which action they give as an excuse the sharp compe- tition from the Southern mills, which are able to manufacture cot ton goods in the South cheaper than the same goods can be made in the North or East.
 Every cotton mill in the South is running full time and finds Q ready market for its product. The tive Carolinas are dotted with flourish ing cotton factories, and new mills are being built in Georgia and Ala bama. Why not in Arkansas? Why not in Pine Bluff
 Situated right in the heart Of tho cotton belt district, with the raw materials at our very doors and sup piled with an abundance Of cheaI labor, there is no reason why Pint Bluff should not have a prosperous cotton factory.
 And every word said in favor 0 a cotton mill can be applied witt equal force in favor Of furnitur, factory and a wagon factory. Now is the time and the opportu nifty for local industrial develop ment, and Pine Bluf1ians should take the tide at it's flood.
