AN ORIGINAL DISPLAY.

Mr. Isaac Drey fus, the big mer
 chant of this city, is one of the most enterprising business men in our midst. This is demoLstre ted by a beautifully arranged and most patriotic window display, which was made in one of his Main street windows Monday and is still on exhibition. It is filled with flags of national colors in the center of which is sitting a life-size oil painting of the hero of Manila Bay. Two smaller pictures of two fair American beau ties, greeting their sweethearts who have just returned after performing their duties in the army and navy, stand on each side. It is a most original display and reflects great credit upon the designer in charge.

4 LIBERAL OFFER
made by Messrs. Altheimer and Cooper to the New Mill Company.

In the contract drawn up by the Austin & Sawyer Lumber Company recently for the erection of the lum- Der mill and railroad in this city ard vicinity, the citizens of Pine Bluff were required to donate piece of land for the mill site. This would have been necessary for the citizens to purchase same and it would have been a very difficult matter for them to do so with ease as the property owners realizing their need for such tract of land would doubtless want enormous prices for it.
 Messrs. Louis and M. L. Alt heimer together with Hon. Henry M. Cooper, the big Republican leader of Little Rock, have offered free of charge a piece of land 40 acres iu size to the Austin & Saw yer people for the sight. The land is situated in the Western part of the city near the new compress plant and IS a very convenient location for the proposed mill.
 This is indeed a very generous offer on the part of these gentlemen and shows much generosity and and enterprise, They are to be commended for the kind deed. This is done, we are informed, to assist Pile Bluff in securing the big enterprise that now presents itself a1d which is Pine Bluffs greatest opportunity.
