Clarendon, Ark, September IA most remark lble stalk of cotton was brought to Clarendon today from Parker C. Evans Lynn Ridge farm near Raymond in the eastern part of Monroe county.

Regester, manager of The Westinghouse Electric Manu- featuring Company, of Chicago, ar rived in the city Friday last and immediately entered a carriage in company with Mayor D. c. Bell, and drove all oyer the city in order to give Mr. Regester, who is an expert englneer, 8 clear Idea of our most important streets.
 MT.

Their ideas will be compared and then the plans will soon be ready and work will begin.
 Mir. F. D. Coyington. in talking to a Graphic reporter Saturday even ing, said:
 "You can say now definitely that Pine Bluff will have electric cars, and that soon, too. All the arrange ments have been completed, includ- Ing the money matters, which are always the most tedious of all.
 "But, Mr. Covington, do you think the hne will pay here?" in quired the Graphic reporter.
 "Why, oertainlyj we have electric car systems stationed Tn much smaller towns than Pine Bluff, and they are successful. Mr. Regester has taken the map of streets with him to Chicago, where he will form definite plans ana order the neces- sary machinery at once This is a fine town and I know we have put the investment In the right place.
 "The poles have been distributed about town, and squad of men will arrive in few days to place them and attach wires, and while they are at work another crowd of workmen will be putting up the machinery, and then everything will be completed in a short while. ,
 This news will be received by Pine Blufians with great rejoicing as the truthfulness of former re- ports concerning our new electric line has been much doubted.
