LUMBERMEN BAAQUETEO.
Austin < Sawyer Lumber Go. Enter
 taining Visiting Lumbermen.

One of the most elaborate and se- lect banquets ever spread in this city was served at the Sawyer X Austin Lumbe Company's plant in the western part of the city this af- ternoon by Mr. William Miller, of the Palace Restaurant, who was em. ployeu by the officials ot that enter prislng and substantial lumber firm to prepare same.
 The banquet was spread for over three hundred lum bermen and their wives, mothers and daughters, who accompany them.
 These represen tative lum bermen, who are tavoring our city with a visit today, arrived at 1:30 o'clock in special trains over the Iron Noun tain road direct from Kansas City, where they attended the twelfth an nual convention of the Missouri Kansas Association of Lumbermen. They are enroute to New Orleans, where they go in body to visit the cypress mills in that section and the State of Louisiana generally.
 The Sawyer & Austin officials in. viten the big delegation to spend 8 few hours in this city and to inspect their pew plant here. They accept ed the generous invitation and the Pire Bluff lumbermen are exertin 2 themselves in entertaining their honored visitors, and, as we well know, they never do anything by half or fail in any attempt.
 Through the kindness of Mir. Russell, tEe genial and sppreciative , secretary of the Sawyer & Austin 1 Company, the local press was ;nyit- ed to participate at the banquet. A special table, handsomely decorated, was arranged for them.
 The banquet was spread in the large blaming mill, which is as yet unoccupied, and it was the most sumptuous and delicious repas' we have eyer had the pleasure to sit down to.
 A more elaborate mention of this elegant function will appear in Sun- days Graphic.

The Ada ns- Wilson Printing Com pany take pleasure in announcing that it will toon begin work on q 20th Century Directory of the city of Pine Bluff, the same to be ready for Helivery by January 1, 1901, the first of the 20th Century. Pine Bluff has never had first class City Direc- tory, but the AdamsWilson Print. ing Company wilt spare neither spains nor expense to make it's direc- tory first class and correct in every respect and will guarantee it's com pleteness. Fine Bluff is grow ing and new people and new enterprises are locating here. but enumerators will not be started out to take d census of the city until the comple- f#on of the Sawyers X Austin plant 1, which will bring Eew inhabitants 10 this, city. A city directory prior to that time would be practically worthless and out-of-date before it's deli very.
 With the bpginine of the 10th Gen. tury there will be many new faces in Pine Bluff, and with these our city directory will make our old residents acquainted, and will give not only the names but addresses of all new corners, as well as old.
 Our Directory will fill a long felt want in Pine Bluff and we believe that the enterprise will be apprecia- 8ted and patronized by cur people.

A SENSATION WAS CREATED IN THIS CITY THURSDAY BY A DIVORCE
 PROCEEDING. DIVORCE WAS GRANTED.
Annie Holcombe Mitchell Peti. tions for Divorce-She Re-
 tains Her Child.

A rather sensational divorce case was recently filed in the chnncery court in this city. The case was styled Annie Holcombe Mitchell vs. J. T. Mitchell. The petition was filed by Attorney Smith c. Martin and read as follows:
 For cause of action herein the plaintiff states that on the 22nd day Of July. 1895, she was lawfully mar ried to the defendant, since which time up to the first of November, 1899, the parties hereto lived and cohabited as husband and wife: that at all times during the marri- age referred to she conducted her self in manner becoming a kind dutifhl and affectionate wife to . ward and about the defendant; that for long while prior 10 the lnsti- tuition of this suit the defendant B course towards the plaintiff has | been one of persistent and studied neglect. His treatment has been | marked by acts and evidences of contempt and dislike for plaintiff; that he has been unkind and negli- gent; that the natures of the parties hereto is incompatible; that it Is impossible for them to live together. Defendant treatment Of plaintiff, she ayers and charges, has for a l long time been such as to render her life intoleraie.
 That there has been born to this marriage one child named Orto, W ho is three years of age; that on account of it's tender years the mothers constant care and atten- ton is absolutely necessary for the proper rearing of said child. That the defendant is man withou means, dependent on his salary for a | Livelihood, wherefore. no elmony Is prayed for her; but the chancellor is requested to decree monthly allow ances for the actual support and maintenance of the child referred to. The premises considered, the plain tiff prays a decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony heretofore ex- isting between the parties hereto; re. beating the prayer hereinbefore made, awarding her the care and custody of the child. Orto, and for such monthly allowance from defen- dant as your honor deems necessary, equitable and just and for all other proper relief.
 The court granted the petition of plaintiff, and allowed $25 per month
 for the support of the cLild.

MANY PEOPLE ATTENDED THE ANTl-COMPULSORY
 VACCINATION MEETING.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED,
They Formed an Organization to Fight the Mayors Proelama-
 ton.

The mass meeting called Thurs day night at the instance of the employees of the Cotton Belt shops to ramonstrate against the mayors or der of compulsory vaccination re suited in large attendance that filled the circuit court room at the court house, and many stood in the aisles.
 Most of those present were labor CTS who say they cannot afford to accept vaccination because of the great risk of being disabled for days and perhaps weeks from it, aud this objection was urged in addition to the objections of many others because they did not believe in the practice.
 The meeting was called to order by Mr. M c. Morris, and on mo tion Dr. L. B. Raschbaum was elected permanent chairman, and Mr. A. A. Harper secretary. The chairman announced the object of the meeting aEd made a short ad- dress. Mr. Ben J. Altheimer, rep resentinp the law frn Of White & Altheimer, was called for and gave the opinion of this firm On the points of law.
 These being satisfactory, Dr. Wells Le Fevre was called for and in short address laid the cause of anti-compulsory vaccination before the meeting for approval or rtiec- tion, saying that the contest against the mayors order would be carried on by himself alone if necessary, and by the co operation of the peo- pie of Pine Bluff if they wish to assist him. By rising vote the entire meeting indorsed the move. ment and on motion the following committee on resolutions was nam ed:
 Mr. M. G. Morris, Dr. Le Fevre and Mr. Ben J. Altheimer.
 These gentlemen withdrew to the grand jury room and drafted the following resolutions, which were adopted unanimously:
 Whereas, The Mayor has issued a proclamation declaring that all citi zens of Pine Bluff must submit to compulsory yaccin ation, and fixing fine for failure or refusal on our part to comply with the same by January 26, 1900;
 And whereas, compliance with such proclamation would incapaci- tate us from performing our daily labors upon which we and our fami- lies are dependent for cur support.
 Therefore, Be it resolved, that it is the sense of this meeting that compulsory vaccination as set forth in the Mayors proclamation, is against the interests of the commu- nity, is cause of septic diseases, and restraint upon the liber ties of the people, granted them by the constitution of the United States. We therefore pledge our moral and financial support to prevent the en- forcemenc of this u1just proclama a. tion.
 After this, committee on ways and means was appoin ted to defend any person or persons who might be arrested for failure to comply with the Mayors proclamation, this com. mittee to consist of seven, and their duties to collect money; to employ attorneys; furnish bond ard other wise assist any who may fall under His Honor's vaccinating wrath.
 The meeting was highly satsfac tory to It's advocates and shows a strong feeling among Pine Bluff people on this suejec:. The em

s2LuM BAYOU LEVEE DISTRICT
 Copstitutionality of the Law Great
 ing Same to Be Tested.

Notice was this morning served upon Sheriff Mccoy and MT. $. Geisreiter, chairman of the board of fins spectors of the Plum Bayou levee district, by White & Althei- mer, represen ting large number of planters in Dunnington, Plum Bayou, Roberts, Pastoria and Bol. ivar townships in Jefferson county, notifying them that an application would be made on February s, next, before Chancellor John M. Elliott, to grant temporary restraining order to enjoin Maj Mccoy from collecting the leyee tax for this year, and also to test the eonstitu- tionaity of the law.
 | Al the tax is one per cent of the assessed valuation of all property, and as lands are valuable in that section, large amount is involved. The case presents nice legal ques- tions, and will be watched with great interest not only by the law yers, but by the people oe the state generally.
 It will be remembered that the act creating the Plum Bayou levee district was passed at the last ses- sion of the Arkansas legislature.

To. Preserve Smoked Meat.

In order to keep smoked meat
in summer so that it will not be.
bothered by bugs, mold, slime
and other enemies, 1t is a good
practice to dry it thoroughly and
PACK in barrels with alfalfa and
other chat. Then roll the barrel
into a cool, dry room, and the
meats will keep m excellent con-
dition. Uampness cannot affect
the meat packed in the chaf, ands
insects will never get into the
chaff to reach the pork. This is
better than coating the meat with
black pepper, paper, muslin sacks
and other devices.

The State colleges Of South

represents an endowment OF at
least three million dollars. In
addition to this, the state has

state has invested four millions OF
dollars in so-called higher eduea
