 TONS HERE.
MERCHANTS WILL CLOSE.
Races Parades Base Ball-0ratori- cal Contest-Athletics and Hot
 Time Generally.

If all of our citizens had the hust- ling powers that Mir. F. B. Tomlin- son is possessed of, Pine Bluff would excel Little Rock eyarly with Fourth of July celebrations.
 If we don't have the biggest day ever known in the history of Pine Bluff on July 4th We will be badly fooled. Fully five thousand visitors will pour in to our midst on that occasion from every little hamlet or hole-in-the-wall on the Cotton Belt, Iron Mountain and Altheimer Branch roads. Excursions will run here on aA of the three mentioned lines and the railroads are sparing no efforts or money to fill the "City of Pines with visitors and pleasure seekers.
 Races, of the finest and most exciting types will be feature.
 An oratorical contest in which the best talent of Jefferson County will participate, will entertain the visi- tors for a few hours. A large purse of prizes await the winners and many young orators with which Jefferson is blessed and can boast are preparing for the battle at. present.
 Pine Bluff will certainly prove to- her sister cities that she is up-to-date and can keep pace with the Faetuo.- politan towns of the North and South. A baseball game will add to the already long list of entertaining features. Athletes of every descrfp- tion and last but not least several famous State bands will discourse S veet music.
 To swell the attendance and also to allow their clerks to assist in the celebration, the following merchants have sannounced that they would close their places of business at l o'clock:
 Isaac Dreyfus. R. H. Stearns, Altheimer D. G. Co. Goldsmith & Co. Bell Vernon Co. Katzenstein, Joe c. Meyer, Chas. WeilA M. Hanf, NJ. Hanf,

so solicitous, it is yet in his power tc
do it,
Judge Allen closed the debate with a
speech in reply to the argument of those
who had opposed the resolution:
Il sympathize with the gentleman
from Haywood. Judge Norwood is his
friend. | sympathize with the wife and
children of Judge Norwood, also. Bur
with me this is matter of duty, and /
shall perform that duty. Judge Nor
wood is before this House in most
unenviable attitude. He has not come
before the committee to deny the
charges urged against him. He has
sent no attorney here to deny them.
1T is unfortunate that Judge Nor,
woods defenders in this House should
be the gentleman from BERTHE and the
gentleman from Swain.
Il hold in my hand a bill to pay Judge
Norwood salary for three months-June
July and August-since he resigned
This bill was introduced by Mr.
Davis, of Haywood and favorably re.
ported by Mr.. Winston, of BERTHE. And
yet they come here to-day with an en-.
tire change of base, contending that
Judge Norwood resigned on June 18th
and had not been Judge since. Surely
they are not in favor of paying q
nsurper."
Judge Allen said the committee report
ing this resolution had due regard fol
the wife and daughter of Judge Nor.
wood but it also had regard for the PEG
pie of North Carolina.
NO people can sbe safe in their lives
or property with a drunken Judiciary
The sources of justice must be kept pure
or the whole stream will be polluted.

WHOSE DUTY WAS IT?
The Board of Health and the Board of
Charities Don't Agree.

L
DR. Geo. A. Rem, one of the city ply
sicians volunteered TO treat the small
pox patient in the city. 1t
was a question as to whose duty it was
to treat the case The Board of Health
met. as reported yesterday, and direct
ed the city physicians to take charge OF
the case. The Board of Charities under
which the city physicians work met later
and decided that it was not the duty of
the city physicians to take the case, and
decided that it was the duty of the City
Superintendent of Health to treat the
patient, and they issued notice accord
ingly. Yesterday morning the city SUI
perintendent of Health declined to com
ply claiming that it was not his duty.
It appears that the duties of the Su-
perintendent of Health and the city ply
sicians are not clearly defined. 4 meet
ing of the board of aldermen was called
for last night but it was not held, owing
TO inclement weather preventing the
proper notice being given.
Desiring to prevent any tangle, al
though feeling that it was not the duty
of the city physicians, DR.. Rem con
scented to take the case. DIR. Rem is q
popular and ohliging young physician of
ability and will give the patient good
attention. Mr.. MCGEE. Jr. will attend
to the city patients while DIR. Rem is
engaged with the small pox case.

TIE following story is told Of how
Thomas r. Reed was admitted TO the
bar il California: Mr.. Reed was being
examined as to his qualifications for
the law along with several companions.
The question WAS the legal tender
act, in your opinion. constitutionalT
was asked Of the candidate sitting next
to Mr.. Reed The young man hesitated,
AS we'll he might, for even the justices
OF The supreme court had spent many
weary days hearing arguments on that
particular question, and after once de-
Gliding that 1t was unconstitutional eft
erward reversed their decision. While
the young man hesltated, the judge
turned to Mr.. Reed, saying. What do
you think, Mr. Reed-was the act con
stitutional?
at was" replied Mr. Reed, without a
moments hesitation.
Very good" was the reply; you are
admitted to the bar. Any man who can
answer offhand q question that is still
puzzllng the supreme court OF the Unit
ed States is certainly pre-emInently
qualified to practice law before this
court. Washington Letter.
