LEGITIMATE WAY OF AD- vERTlSlNG PINE BLUFF
 ADOPTED
BY COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
Sending Marked Copies of Cata- logue of Fair to Trades
 Journals and Capitalists,

There is an old saying that in this work.a day world there is place tor everything.
 It will be seen from the following that the Pine Bluff Commercial League are always on the qui vive when it comes so considering Jeffer- son county and Pine Bluff.
 Secretary B. D. Russell of the Commercial League has on behalf of the league, purchased all. the re maining catalogues of the Third Annual State Fair. His object in doing so is commendabIe one, and we believe will obtain tLe desired results.
 The reasons assigned by Mr. Russell savor of much thought on the question of advertising in Ie- gitimate way. The catalogue as we all know, is replete with valua- ble information regarding the op- portrnities that Jefferson county and Pine Bluff offers to capitals ts; especially thos who are and have been favorably impressed with this section of the country For this reason and owing to the valuable information succinctly set out therein, in the catalogues, the league purchased them.
 Secretary Russell is sending marked copies of the catalogues to all the trade journals througout tde country. The part that is descrip- tive of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county it is hoped wifi ruake such an impression so as t2 induee 2aps talists to invest.
 The secretary further informed us that the league has not forgotten the question of rew opera house, and they have up to tbls time $4 600, or thereabouts subscribed.
 Pine Bluff will yet be the capital city of the state; if not in name, then in business. With the Com. mercial League working as dili- gently in the future as that which has characterized it's existence in the past the public can rest assured that we will be the big cog In the wheel of progress in the state of Arkansas.

 FLOWER PALACE
Is That of Mrs. M. Mitchells on
 West Second AvenueI

On West Second Avenue rext to Dreyfus will be found a yeritable flower palace.
 The language of flowers is reti- cent. On entering therein one feels that the air is sweeter and every thing lovelier. Nature is displayed; everything is kept to natures mir TOT.
 The establishment is in charge of Mr. Mitchell. The grand china painting is something of a marvel.
 The different flower plants in so small and cozy place remind one of notable personages gather to- gether in conversation. The flow CTS most noticeable and well known to the lovers of same therein are La France, American Beauty, Bride and Bride Maid roses; carna. tions, chrysanthemums, Narcissus, Palms, Ferns, Farleyance Fern and Sacred Lilies.

One of the new towns in South. east Arkansas is that of Montrose, in Ashley county, where the M. R. H. & W By. crosses the Iron Noun tain. There are already two stores at this point, ". T. Cone and R. J. Mcbride. Mr. Mcbride was former ly at Portland. but now has charge of the commissary at Montrose and is now opening up an immense stock of goods. Heis most affable and courteous gentleman, and as is nat ural under such circumstances, is already conducting most flourish ing business. Montrose being the junction of two railroads, gives promise of becoming very lively town.

CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

MT. Wm. H. Sherwood, pianist 0 the Chicago Symphony Orchestra which will appear here next Wednes day afternoon and nis sht. is suppos- ed to be the best in America today, and deservedly so, as he has alway been associated with the highes mus.cal art. The ease with which immense technicalities are treated, the coloriDg, the fanciful gnome-like caprices are yividly portrayed. The effect is piquant, bizarre, uncannily, startingly suggestive.
 Mime. Ragna Lynne is spoken of as Jennie Lind. Her cultured voice is under perfect control. The tones above and below are most skillfully taken. 1t is not range one thinks of in listening to her; it is the dramatic instinct vibrating in every phrase, altering intensity, color, tint and personality, until the perfection of varied Epower is reached, and this without altering the peise of the voice.

He was sit. ting in the billiard ball at Hamburg, while seated around him were a great many friends. The man who killed him was dead shot with u gun, for he picked Foote out and never touched another in the room.
 Foote was reputed to be desper- ate man in and around the vicinity of Hamburg. He has killed six men in and around the vicinity of Ham. burg on as many different encoun- ters. As private soldier he has seen service with the United States forces in Cuba.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

Considerable cotton is yet stand ing fn1the fields between Pine Bluff and Parkdale.

stave mill and plauer by the Gates Lumber Go. and sawmill by Terry & Foote. Over 125 new houses have been built in Hamburg dur ing the last year, and with all of these itis said that there is not vacant house in the town,
 The merchants of Hamburg arc enjoying exceptionally cheap freight rates, ia consequence of which the trade aad commerce of the town have been greatly increased. The Mississippi River, Hamburg & Western Railroad has traffic ar engagements with the Ghalmette Packet Company, of New Orleans, and with Capt. Ed NoWland's line of steamers from Memphis, with each of which. packet companles the railroad connects at Luna Landing. As a result of these connections the wholesale merchants and iobbers of Memphis and New Orleans receive the trade and cotton of the section of country traversed by this rail. road, and Pine Bluff merchants would do well to look to their lau- rels in this regard. The Mississip- pi River, Hamburg & Western Railway moved 5000 bales of cotton last season, and this year will haa- dle over 15,000 bales. The price formerly paid by merchants in that section was $2 50 per bale to New Orleans, but they are now getting the same for $1.75 per bale.
 The promoters of the new railroad were Mr. J. M. Parker. a banker of Cripple Greek, Col, and MT. Ran daIl Sllverman, formerly ofthis city, to whom more than any other per sens is the credit for the new enter prise due. Mr. J. M. Parker is now general manager of the entire sys tenn and has become a citizen of Ar kansas by removing to Ham burg while Mr. Randall SilYerman is passenger conductor on tbe lin with daily run from Ham burg t Montrose. Some of the officers c the railroad company are J. A. Cole of New York, President; J. M. Par ker, general manager, and H. H Walbert, general purchasing agent The railroad was built by Coloraa capital. This new railroad has als broken the record in that ithas ney CT missed a payday from the begin hing Of it's construction to the pres ent time. When the bonds of thi com pany are placed on the market which we understand will be don shortly, they will no doubt fnt ready and eager purchasers. A soon as these bonds are fioated, g. we are informed, the railroad lin will be extended to some point oi Saline river with Jefferson, Texas as an objective point.

opinion dismissing the Indictment
