 Walking ir to the Trulock hotel met City Treasurer H r. West. brook, who after learning my bus. mess, invited me to a seat and aud fence with him. The result of the interview with Mr. Westbrook i; this:
 T don't know that I can say any. thing relative to my official career add present candidacy but what is already known by u e public. However, as you request 8 state ment, will say that when l was first elected to and instatlud in the office of city treasurer, city scrip was only worth forty five cents on the dollar, but through wise and economic measures inaugurated by the city council and with the aid of the mayor, and last, but not le eas1. by my own untiring energy, We have. l am proud to say, succeeded in doubling the price of scrip city scrip now being worth and selling at ninety cents on the dollar. This fact alone, as will be readily seer has been and will be worth a con- siderable sum to the city of Pine Bluff. The city of Pine Bluff today is in better financial condition than she eyer has been before; and it must De conceded fact, for it is fact that good government and close and strict attention to the clty's affairs has been the prime and only cause of this prospere us con dition. l am firm believer in be- lug public spirited, and I think that my actions, both as an official and a a private citizen, will bear me out in this statement. 1 have ever been ready and most willing to lend a helping Land to all and any moves or enterprises shat had for their ultimate end the city's good and general welfare, and I have never yet been called upon for donation of any kind for the public good but ISresponded in accordance with the best of my ability and means. I was one of the inaugurators of the Pine Bluff State Fair, and consider that l, along with the other gentle men who interested themselves in this institution, have done all in my power U make this institution an honor and benefit to the great State of Arkansas. How well we have succeeded. the result of our labors show for itself. I have taken the greatnst interest in this fair, and have left no stone uncovered that thought would tend in the least toward making it such sue. cess as would herald 10 the world the fact that we are a wide awake an enterprising people; not only that, but such 9 success as would from it's very nature entiee capital and enterprises in our direction.

BOYS SEE The POINT.
They Make Big Money. Make 1t
Easy. No Capital Invested.
How They DO 1t.

There are several thousand boys and
hundreds of men engaged in st. Louis
in business which brings a weekly
profit of FROM IS, 900 TO $4,000. It's
the selling of daily papers. Hundreds
OF families live comfortably on the
profits of the sale OF daily newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite newspaper
with the boys is the POST-DISPATCH,
because it sells best. An investigation
has shown that the boys sell more
copies of the daily POST-DISPATCH
than the combined sales of the two
other English evening papers.
One of the pleasures the boys find in
selling papers is they are their "own
boss" They come and go when they
please. While many have regular
corners and newstands, others merely
walk the streets each having his own
peculiar way of ''crying" out his
papers.
The situation is quite different on
Sunday. The papers are printed in
the morning and by six o'clock the
boys and men are out in search of
buyers.
There are four English Sunday pa
pers. Many boys take out 800 hun
dred papers. A boy taking from two
to three hundred papers has all he can
do to get over the ground.
Sundays as on week days finds the
POST-DISPATCH everywhere. It's a
ready seller It's the ''most for the
money" The Sunday POST-DIS-
PATCH has many original and exclu-
sive features, including the Colored
Comic Weekly.
These great newspaper offices have
what is called a Circulation Depart
ment," the object of which is to pro-
mote the sale of the papers. This
department answers all requests for
sample copies (Which are sent free),
and so on. In the country as in ST.
Louis, they are constantly looking for
"agents" (boys or men to represent
them). This is done by the aid of
travelling men and correspondence.
All letters are promptly answered. 1t
is pleasant work, especially in the
towns outside of St. Louis. Boys in
the outside towns are not called news
boys, but agents.
More money is made outside of st.
Louis because the selling price is
more and the profit greater.
If you would like to be an agent for
the Post-Dispatch in this city write to
the circulation department of Post
Dispatch, ST. Louis.
