 "Commanding officer of the Nash vile has it in his discretion to visit Pine Bluff. Would advise that you communicate with him at Vieks- burg"

In the name of the Com mercial League and twenty thous- aud citizens Of this city, we ask that you visit us. You will be most cor dially received.

MASS MEETING TO HEAR PROPOSITION OF w. E. SAWYER LARGELY
 ATTENDED.
A LIBERAL PROPOSITION.
Commercial League Appoints COm- mittees to Raise $5O,O00 as a
 Bonus.

Several hundred Pine Buff citi- zens inSpursuance to call, assembled at the court house Tuesday night to meet and heav the proposition of MT. W. B. Sawyer and Mr. J. T. Putnam, representatives of the Sawyer & 4 AustiD Lumber Company, of Lacrosse, Wis, which company recently purchased 00,000 acres of land from the Muskegon Lumber company. The land begins seven west of Pine Bluff and extends to within five miles of Benton, Ark. This company will move it's plant to this State and are favorably ;m- pressed with Pine Bluff and it's facilities. They will if the people of this city offer the proper induce ments, build their plant here and also construct a standard gauge road from Pine Bluff to Sheridan, with daily passenger and freight service.
 The proposition made by the Saw yer < Austin company is as follows:
 They propose to erect their big three band plant in Pine Bluff, which is capable of manufacturing and marketing timber from the pur- chased lands for a period of thirty years. The plant will be substan- tial one aud will rank second to none in the State. They will pay their employees in cash, and will not conduct a commissary, thereby let ting their employees spend their money with the Pine Bluff mer- chants. They Vill also construct the above named line, provided the citizens or Pine Bluff will donate mill site Of fifty acres and raise a bonus of $50, 900 for the railroad.
 The meeting was called to order by President Fox of the Commercial League. He made known the ob feet, and then introduced MT. Saw yer, who said he had been looking all winter for a place to locate his big plant and upon a first visit to our city and seeing its excellent facilities became very favorably i'm pressed with the place. Recognlz- ing the advantages of Pine Bluff he is anxious to make this place the heada uarters for his mill and be- lieves it to be the proper location.
 Mir. Sawyer said to erect his plant here he would need the assistance of the citizens and believed they would lend their aid. He stated that fifty per cent of his employees have signifed their willingness to come here with the plant. He an swered several questions in regard tc the matter and closed by saying he knew it would greatly develop this city and section and would be the best thing that could ever hap pen to Pine Bluff, that is, as an en- terprise.
 Mr. Putnam then arose and said the most important part of the transaction besides the mill for Pire Bluff would be the standard guage road they will construct. lie said he has seen lots of timber but has never yet seen any that would equal the timber in Grant county
 The people of this city, he said' have no idea what wonderful deyel- opment would result in this section after that road was built, Pine Bluff should be the headquarters for the plant, as we would have two
