HANDSOME CALENDARS.

The Graphic acknowledges the re- ceipt from the Diley Foundry Com pany of three calendars. each of ex- qnisite design. They are large calen- dars in colors, and the designs are especially catchy. One IS that of a ballet girl, gaudily dressed in colors and holding Q mirror in her hand; another is mill pond, by the side of which lay several ladies gar ments and D young man suddenly appears on the scene. The girls are nowhere to be seen, but their em- barassing position can leadily be imagined. The third design is that of beautiful woman and it is one Of the prettlest calendars of the year.

Train Stopped by Insects.

4 peculiar incident occurred a short time ago to q Scotch express, which really caps the story of the mouse which got into the brake apparatus of a train and soon brought 1t to a con- plete standstill.
 While on a steep incline a mile or so from Inyershin, the train suddenly slowed up and eventually stopped. Af- ter an examination it transpired that myriads of midges had been swarming near the ground, and being crushed by the wheels of the train. had left the rails in a very slimy condition, pre- venting the engine from gripping the rails. and so stopping It. Although several dodges were tried, among them that of throwing earth along the line, the train was unable to proceed until 1t was divided into sections and drawn up the incline piecemeal. This incl dent caused delay of nearly an hour.

is that Pine Bluff neighbors and friends will divide into factions, and. perhaps, by reducing the price f pressing, get little lucre to invest in New Orleans, leaving Pine Bluff so much poorer. But this course will not likely succeed, as it will bring on press fight which will not redound to the good of those brng- ing it on. Ire ultimate result would be material damage to our home people and good to no one else but the transportation companies. It should not be forgotten, however, that the Standard Compress Com pany is composed of men who are abundantly able to take care of themselves. It should likewise not be forgotten that in addition to the new Webb press bought they will repair their old press, which can be made as good as new at nominal cost, and that they have lot in the heart of town upon which they will erect it for the next season.

THE NEW BOAT.
R Johnson Discusses the Proposition.

pine Bluff, Ark, Jan. Is, 1899.
 I7;tor of the Graphic-I see from
 sunday edition that We are to
 another com press and you and
 Is seem to jump to the conclu-
 that 1t will cause a great in
 sa in our cotton receipts, make treat cotton market, etc1T hope \ av be so, but l would like to a4W by what process of reasoning ss arrive at such Q conclusion. I X ot wish to under estimate the .Dntaoes to be derived from the am industry, but l fear you are eaf estimating the results which |s# follow it's establishment. It is < competition m cotton compress ss that we need to make our city a
 at cotton market, but competi= "a in transportation to insure Ebitable freight rates.
 NJ am glad to see that you are ad- Rating boat for the river; in sst you are striking the keynote to ,e situation, If we are to make s6 . Rtnff a eottOn market we mDSt ss that we are not discriminated pbinst in freight rates. Why are Ie losing cotton from sections that Be always shipped to Pine Bluff efetofore? It is because other ,@ns are getting Q cheaper rate Of eght7 and can in consequence pay bre for cotton, and can be reached some of our planters with their hsoi ~9 s..4. ~a Pine Bluff. Ehy did the agents of both railroads Friday notify the few who re- Ye rebates on cotton, that if a Iat came in here they would not bay the rebates. These rebates not help us as a cotton market. leap freight rates, etc, enables buyer to pay good prices for ton, We now have no eompeti-  sa here and without it we cannot De for cheap freight rates. Give q boat Keep on with the good 'rk, Mr. Editor. If the present oditions are to continue, I fear we Il find in a few years that one npress is more than we need. -

sherman's Ample Supply of whisky.
 George A.Sheridan, after one of his campaigning tours in Ohio, told story of his experience with John Sherman. We had been making speeches at Xenia one wet, cold night" said Sheri- dan. "and on our way back to the hotel Senator Sherman said: Sheridan, be- lieve little whiskey is a necessity for us to prevent contracting colds It Is almost needless to say that I agreed with him and expressed my regret that had none with me. Don't worry about that said the senator, I have an am- pie supply. We will go to my room and get it. We went to Senator Sher- mans room and he produced from his yanse four-ounce vial of whtskey and 8 teaspoon. Pouring out teaspoonful he handed 1t over to me to take 1t, as he had no doubt I needed 1t. After had induiged in one spoonful sherman took a spoonful himself, recorked the little bottle and returned It to his galise. Surely, there is one man who considers whiskey a medicine and not beverage"
