We all sing and if you are a good tenner singing you would fit right in when we get to singlng gospel hymns evenings, for none of us sing tenner.

 ABOUT PINE BLUFFIANS
MEETS THEMEYERYWHERE
They Never Forget the Hospi- tality for Which Their
 Home is Famous"

"A Pine Bluffian if he happens from home is never lost" writes Meyer Solmnson to the editor of the Graphic.
 .In Memphis there are many Pine BIufians who at any and all times greet you with outstretched hands. This purely demonstrates that at hore or away a Pine Bluffian never forgets the hospitality for which his home is famous.
 Among the many Pine BIuffians whom l had the pleasure Of seeing on this visit were MT. Martin Moss, former Pire Bluff boy. but who now makes Memphis his home. It will be news to Pine Bluff people to learn that Mr. Irl Armstrong, an other Pine Bluff boy, is now en- ioying tour through Italy. TIpon bis return home he will study for the stage.
 It might be men toned here that Mir. Tom Moss was turned down by the army officers at San Francisco owing to his inability to pass a proper examination. MT. Moss was sent there from Fort Logan H. Roots, Little Rock. After his fail ure Mr. Moss joined a Texas compa- ny. It passed through Pine Bluff recently enroute to New York to participate in the Dewey Parade.
 I also met Rev, G. Gordon Smeade on the streets of Memphis, one day last week. He was returning 10 Little Rock after beneficial sojourn in Virginia.
 Among my other Pine Bluff friends whom [ had the luck to see were. Edgar Brewster, Clarence Phipot, and MT. and Mrs. s. H. Zoller.
 At Jonesboro are Mr. and Mrs. Garland Byrd. Mrs. Byrd was form erlY Miss Bertie Robinson. MT. Lynn Brinkley, who IS Light clerk at the Cotton Belt Hotel, and Ben Robinson who is in the plumbing business here. Mrs. Will Mickle- wright daughter of Col. George c. Gage of Pine Bluff, also resides here
 Jonesboro is model little city of 5000 inhabitants. It is possessed O. beautiful little theatre with a seating capacity of 800 Through the kindness of Manager Lee Trice 1 was shown through it and 1 can say that 1t favorably compares with the Grand of Memphis, but of course It is not so large. Fifty-two good attractions have been booked for this seasoL. Among them are Creston Clark and Walker White sides, two Pine Bluff favorites.
