Dr. Buchtel well says: "The struggle of the church for the salvation of the cities is the greatest battle of tho centuries, for the reason that the drum, fife and gun powder cannot contribute anything to it's settlement. Rifles and ships arc useless in this contest. We have small opportunity to appeal to the dramatic instinct in human nature. Our whole hope is in the saving institutions which God has put into the world-the home, school and church. All men of sense are quick to admit that the salvation of the cities and the nation is de pendent wholly upon these constructive and saving institutions"

PAY ROLL A YEAR AND A NEW RAILROAD THROUGH
 TO SHERIDAN
OFFERED TO PINE BLUFF.
Sawyer < Austin Lumber Co.,. of La Crosse, Wis. Want to Come
 Here.

Now is Pine Bluffs opportunity, let us grasp it while it presents itself
 For several years the people of this city and section have wanted a railroad from Pine Bluff to Sheridan or Malvern. Several surveys have been made but nothing further has been done.
 Wednesday afternoon Mr ". B. Sawyer, a representative of the Sawyer and Austin Lumber Co.,, of Lacrosse, Wis, one of the largest lumber concerns in that State, met wi5h the members of the Conner cial League of this city at the par lors of the Merchants $ Planters Bank, and made known the object of his visit to this city, and why he wished u consult with the members of the League. He said he wanted to interest the citizens of this city in the erection of a big lumber plant aLd if successful, his company woald construct railroad from Pine Bluff to Sheridan.
 To the League Mr. Sawyer said that for several days past he, in company with Mir. Tom  F. 1 Doyle, 0bad lbeen inspecting the large body of land between this city and Malvern, and was very much attracted by the valuable timber in tbat vicinity.
 What he wanted the Pine Bluff citizens to do, was to offer proper inducements in the way of a bonus, and the enormous lumber plant of Messrs Sawyer & Austin would be removed from La Crosse, Wis, to thls city. He said that at the same time his firm would construct a rail- road from this city direct west to Sheridan thus joining Pine Bluff with Malvern by rail, with the road now running from Malvern to Sheridan.
 The large belt of timber land which Mr. Sawyer referred to and Awhich his company anticipates buy 1zing. commences about elght miles west of this city and extends to within two miles of the Iron Noun tain Railway near Benton. It is the property of the Mushegon Lum- per Co.,, of which Mr. Tom F. Doyle is represen tative.
 The Sawyer & Austin lumbe' p mt now situated at La Cross e, Ws., has an annual pay roll of $l0O, 900 to $l5O, 900 and il erected here the pay roll would be even larger. owing to the severa! branch plants the company anticipate erecting along the proposed rail road.
 Mir. Sawyer left on the afternoon train Wednesday for St. Louis, where he will meet with his busi- ness associates, and within few days submit to the Commercial ALeague proposition setting forth the terms upon which they will be willing to undertake the erection of the lumber plant and construction \ of the railroad.
