Dr. Bro wniDg's paper was most inter- esting, and as he mentioned names familiar to the early history of the city and it's religious Institutions, he carried memory back to most sacred and tender recollectlons. Dr. Browning's paper should have a place In the historical archieves of the First Methodist church.
 The Rev. Cadesman Pope, of Arka- delphia, and former pastor of the Main street church, was then intro duced. He said he arrived in Pine Bluff in 1859 and gave an account of the early and primitive scenes that then met hts vision. sIn1S59 I could not conceive of what I now sec" he said, "and had anyone prophesied the scene that now greets my vision, I would not have believed it." He congratulated tine congregation up- on the progress it had made, and urged his hearers to beguided by the Holy spirit that had actuated the early members of the congregation, (whom he could now see In white robes surrounding the eternal throne Of grace1 and tO follow the precepts and teachings of their sainted fathers.

The Adams Wilson Printing Co. is the only printery in the city operat- ed by steam power. 1t is also the only exclusively job printing estab- lishment in the city. It also has more money invested in printing presses, machinery, type, stock, etc, than any other printing house in the State east of Little Rock. 1t also pays out more money for labor than any Pine Bluff printing house, and does larger business. both outside and inside of he city, than any of it's local competitors. lthas unequalled facilities in Pine Bluff for quick, neat and cheap commercial and job print ing, ard has but few superiors in the South. It can therefore meet com petition from any quarter, in price, quality, speed or workmanship, and solcits orders with the guarantee of sa tisfaction.

The pleasant passage between the two pastors was highly enjoyed by the audience,
 Mr. k. II. NJ. Mills, an old veteran in the service of the First Methodist church. was then introduced and re- lated several am.sing and interest ing reminiscences in theearly history of the church.
 Mir. Geo. J. Vining, another old
 veteran, was the next speaker. He
 was sexton and bell ringer in the first church in the then village. He
 said he cane here in 1913 and if there
 was then any sign of Methodist or
 any other church he failed to see it.
 He thought the first church was es-
 tablished in 1S4S. The speaker then 1 went on to describe the early church in log house north of Pullen street, now in the river, and how the peo-
 pie then worshlpped with no lights save tallow candles and no conven- fences except rough benches. Then the people would spend hours at a service, but now if they spend over a half-hour they think it is awful. In the good old days he thought there was more earnest rel g 3a thaa now and went on to recite the deep rietY of the early members.
 The program concluded with a poem eDtit led "Past and Future, by Miss Frankie Van Valkenburgh. This proved to be one of the most delight ful features of the service. To poetic measure she detailed the early hist0- ry and experiences of the church ,and compared it's present with the past. The description of the spirit and emotions of the earlier worshippers compared with the feelings that so often actuate present church-goers. was most amusing stanza. In her production Miss Vah Valkenburgh showed careful study and prepara- tion and eyinced no small 6egree of rhythmic talent.
 This completed the program and the service concluded with the long meter doxologY.
 During the service the choir render ed a number of very pleasing and ap nronriata CpIartions and thn muSic was by no means the least apprecia- tive feature of the evening. The solos hy Mir. Voss and Prof. McNeill are deserving ofspecial mention. The choir is under the direction of Mir. c. Voss, choir manager, and Mrs. Adine T. Owen, organist, and is composed of some of the best musical talent in the city.
 Altogether the semi-centennial ser vice was a most delightful success and marks an epoch in religious circles in this city. The Graphic con graduates the Methodist congrega- tions upon the progress they have made, and especially do we congrat- ulate the membership of the First Methodist Church upon the success of their sem.-centennial celebration which, we hope,f will only be sur passed by their centennial celebra- tion in 19iS.

in 1880. You beat HIS a little. The first Presby terian did not get here until 1859, but we have made mighty good progress since.' In conclusion MT. Caldwell expressed the hope that the First Methodist would continue to advance as much if not more within the next fifty years as in the past, and that the present good feel ing between the various denomina- tions would continue.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Cald wells speech, Mr. Evans arose and said he and Mir. Caldwell s lines were running on parallel lines. He had married q Presby but she, too, had re- pented and was now q Methodist.

Pine Bluff, Rev. J. r. Carr, "but on looking around was informed that Rev. Carr had taken sick early in the evening and had left the church.
 The Rev. J. l.. Caldwell was then announced as the next speaker. "But l am not on ihe program, responded the pastor of the First Presby terian Church. But we will hear from you anyway" replied Rev Evans" "Then you are trying to make me kin to the Methodists, re- joined MT. Caldwell. "Very well, y" he continued, "I have been very partial friend of the Methodists all my life. My first Impression of the Methodists came from Bishop Pierce, of Georgia, who visited my fathers house when was boy, and have liked the Methodists ever since. And then, when I got to be n young man I married d Methodist and l have been proud of 1t ever since.
 "rhere's where you showed your good judgment in selection" inter- iected Rev. Evans. "Oh, but my wife soon repented and has since joined the Presby terlan church, re- torted MT. Caldwell, and the audi ence heartily enjoyed the pleasantry. Continuing Mr. Caldwell said: Il don't blame you Methodists from boasting. You have right to boast that tod has enabled you to accomplish so much, and l eonsrat- nlate you and enter most heartily into the spirit of this meeting. l have heard tonight that the first Methodist missionary reached here

ALTHEIMER
 LAID LOW
BLOCK OF BUSINESS HOUSES DESTROYED
 SUNDAY MORNING.
All Frame Buildings and No Insur- ance The Fire of meendiary
 Origin.

The quiet and thriving little town of Altheimer, 12 miles northwest of this city on the Cotton Belt road, was the scene of most disastrous and destructive eonhagration Sun day morning. The fire was the work of. an incendiary and began about 5 o'clock The flames were first discovered in the middle of the block, in Alvah Golfers hall, where a stove had never been and where q fire was unknown, which goes to show that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The flames con tinu- ed their work until whole and the most important business block had been destroyed.
 The block comprised ten frame stores, several of which were two stories. and all with their contents were completely destroyed, entail ing a los , of fully $40, 0O0.
 The Collier hall, where the fire was first discovered, was situated in the Center of the block. The flames burned both ways and spread so rapidly that human aid was of no avail. The town is without water protection and therefore insurance rates run very high. Only one mer- chant in the town, J. s. Mcdonnell, was insured. and his store did not burn, although it was dangerously threatened several times during the fire.
 MT. MIL. Clayton, whose stock of general merchandise was an entire loss, also lost $700, in cash which he left in the cash drawer on retiring Saturday night. The ! occupan ss who made their abode in this block barely escaped with their lives.
 Had it not been that a drizzling rain prevailed the other two blocks would have Burned also! All the adjoining property was barely saved by wet blankets and the work of th l water brigades.
 1t is very great blow to this lit- tie town where dulIness was un- known. Altheimer was just in an attitude where it's importance was forging to the front in the conner cial world. We deeply sYmpathlze with the unfortunates and may they | soon recover from their losses.
 The merchants and losses are as follows:
 Five of the buildings were the property Of Alvah Collier and were valued at $7000 Mr. Collier also lost a $4000 stock of merchandise,
 Mr. Louis Altheimer of Pine Bluff | owned three of the burned buildings, valued at $5000.
 The building owned by Collier & was valued at 5000.
 M. Eilbott, stock Of general mer chandise, 5000.
 Sam First, barber shop, $500.
 M. L. Clayton, general merchan- disc, $4000.
 Wesley Finley, butcher, $500.
 N J. Hollis, drugs, 5000; his res idence in rear of store, $2000, and Q l doctors office, $500
 Wm. Gregley, groceries, 5000.
 Lizzie Adams, restaurant, $500.
 Henry Glen, shoemaker. saop and contents, $500.
 Lloyd Jones, groceries. $1500.
 Not one of the merchants or prop erty owners carried insurance. 1.-The flend or iends who caused the confagration should be arrested and severely dealt with. Several sus-. poets are under surveillance, and sew eral arrests may follow.
