 GROWTH.
UpBUILD IS THE MOTTO.
Many Sections Blessed With Beauti- ful Homes Real Estate Mems
 Reapings.

Pine Bluff is now enjoying a real live boom. On every hand one can see improvements. A rarely inter- estlng revival of it is the large num- Der of buildings that are now being erected. Lumber dealers and con- tractors are reaping rich reward, their lines of business being unusu- ally active.
 Between Third and Fourth ave- nues on Main street, frame range of buildings which have long been a menace to the business interests, are being replaced with three hard- some brick buildings. On the northwest corner of Third avenue and Chestnut street four delapidated dwellings are being removed and destroyed In a few weeks large warehouse with all the modern i'm proYements will beautifY the spot where these ancient homes once stood. The warehouse will be erected by Gillespie Bros, and will be used exclusively for sheltering cotton and plantation supplies.
 Along Fifth avenue, on all corners is 3 scene of much activity and stranger visiting that section would be apt to mistake the place as the headq quarters for some large lumber concern.
