BANK DE PINE BLUFF
Makes an Excellent Statement of
 Its Financial Condition.

We call the attention of our read CTS to the statement of the fpan. eial condition of the Bank of Pine Bluff at the close of business Deeem- Der 31, 1893. The Bank of Pine Bluff, although the youngest fnap- ctal institution in the city, is one of the most popular, and although lts deposits do not aggregate as much as either of the other two banks, its the depository of large number of small depositors, as wei as several Of the largest and wealtbiest bust ness houses and manufacturing in. stitutions in the city.
 The popularity of this bank is largely due to the affable and courteous treatment of customers by Cashier ", D. Hearn and his as- sistant, MT. j. ". Sanders. The other officers are J. M. Oracle, rres- ideqt;sand J. B. York. vice-presi- dent.
 The deposits at this institution are $164, 4,037 80. It's surplus and undivided profits are $26, ,2O3 69. which is an excellent showing! con sidering that the Bank of Pine Bluff was organized in 1889, and suffered mismanagement for the first two or three years of it's his tory.
 It must be remembered, too. that this surplus has been accumulated during a period of great stringency, and at a time when many older and wealthier banks throughout the country were forced to the wall as a result of the panic of 1893. With the panic period passed and the prospects ahead of the country for an unusual degree of prosperity, it is needless to say that it will nos be Ioug, with the same progressive, conservative and cautious manage. men that has characterized it's past, until the surplus fund of the Bank of Pine Bluff willequal that Of longer established institutions.
 We congratulate the Bank of Pine Bluff upon the excellent show ing { has made, and wish for it's stockholders and officers very prosperous new year.

THE RIGHT MAN, THE NEGRO WHO OUTRAGED MRS. BULLARD NEAR
 MALVERN CAPTURED HERE TUESDAY By Deputy Constable Frank Stewart Negro Says He Came Flom
 Little Rock.
CAPTURED HERE TUESDAY

The black brute who is believed to have so unmercifully beat and rap ee Mrs. Price Bullard in the woods near Malvern on Wednesday, De eember q last, is now securely fas- tened behind the bars of the Jeffer- son county jail. He was arrested in this city Tuesday night by Deputy Cons table Frank Stewart, who will receive a reward O $4O0 for his work, fit proves to be the right man.
 The negro, as is natural, denles the charge, but he answers the exact description as given by Mrs. Bullard a few minutes after the ter rible affair. The authorities here are sure he is the right man. ConA stable Stewart rang up City Mar shall Hall, at Malvern, this after noon and Mir. Hall suggested that the man be brought-to Little ROCK in the morning and he would meet him there and carry him to Malvern. To this Prosecuting Attorney Sor= rells objected, as he was afraid the people of that city, who are so ep- ragged over the affair, would not let the law take its proper course. MT. Sorrells then suggested that Mrs. Bullard meet them in Little Rock and identify the mann then he could be taken. Mr. Hall informed Mr. sorrells that the lady was still very weak and unable to travel.
 Pictures Of the negro were taken and will be sent to Malvern to be identified.
 The man gave his name as Will Price, but sometimes went by the name of Vii. Banks. He answers the description just as # wos writ ten. He has the given wei ,.at, l as the part between his teeth, wears the clothes described and tells a very weak tale.
 Mrs. Bullard was enroute to a neighbours when the brute accosted her, knocked her senselees and ae- eomplished his purpose. After she had recovered he made her promise never 10 say a word about what had taken place and disappeared into the woods. Searching parties soon secured the vicinity but nothing was accomplished.

Green Bryant, a young negro, has been in the employ Of Mr. J. T. Lloyd at hls grocery store for the past two months as porter. Several days ago MT. Lloyd came out $8 50 short in his cash, and at once sus+ pected the porter.
 Mir. Lloyd notified his clerk, Mr Clements, and a close watch was kept on the suspect.
 Wednesday morning the porter was seen with one hand in the cash drawer and the other in the stove, building fire'a and. it became very hot, in fact too hot for the thief, aud now ne prefers the cooler or tc be plain, the Jefferson county $71 was the total amount stolen, and he will doubtless be severely punished. Green appeared before Judge Brown in the police seonrt this morning and he was transferred to Jus siee Vance, wh6 will listen tt his "sale of woe" this afternoon.
