2oTH CENTURY DIRECTORY

The Adams Wilson Printing Com pany take pleasure in announcing that it will soon begin work on a 20th Century Directory of the city of Pine Bluff, the same to be ready for delivery by January l, 1901, the first day of the 20th Century. Pine Bluff has never had first class City Diree- tory, but the Adams Wilson Print. ing Company will spare neither pains nor expense to make it's direc- tory first class and correct ih every respect and will guarantee it's com- pleteness. Pine Bluff is growing and new people and new enterprises are locating here. but enumerators will not be started out to take a census of the city until the comple- tion of the Sawyers < Austin plant, which will bring Eew inhabitants to this, city. A city direc tory prior to that time would lbe practically worthless and ont-of-da before it's deliyery
 With the beginine 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 we'll as old.
 Our Directory will fill long felt want in Pine Bluff and we believe that the enterprise will be apprecia- ted and patronized by our people.

ETIQUETTE OF INVITATIONS.
The Rules Laid Down by Social
 Autheri sies.

The matter of issuing invitations and acknowledging the receipt of in- vitarions is one of tn ost importance when one moves in society. Postal cards should never be used when writing invitations. and person who receives a request to attend functions through this medium is completely justified in getting offend ed. Courtesy demands that all com munications except those of the most perfunctory business nature should be written on paper and inclosed in an enyelt pc. To send an invitation on postal is the night of unconven- tionality and, without great stretch, can be considered the same degree of rudeness.
 If person is invited to any enter tainmeDt which he or she does not care to attend and in fact would prefer [ ot to receive any invitations from the sender al all. it would be much better to refuse all invita- tions that may come in a ceremonious manner that. to decline too vigo- ronsly a single one. Any refusal to accept an invitation which would be forcible enough to prevent fur ther ones would be likely to appear excessively rude. The ultimate re- suit of a succession of refusals will be the same.

BATTLE OF ARICKAREE.
Monument Recently Dedicated on
Ground Of Indian Fight
from the Denver News-l

IF'rom the Denver News.1
Thirty-two years ago was fought one
of the most remarka BILE Indian battles
ever known on the continent. The scene
Of the fight was the mouth of the Arick-
aTee fork OF the Republican river, at the
eastern line of the state of Colorado.
Tho battle-ground was at the extreme
eastern limit of Arapahoe county. about
80 miles from Denver. It is regarded
by competent military authorities as one
Of the most interesting spots in the an
nails Of American history On that
ground was exhibited bravery and en-
durance as inspiring as was shown al
any time in the great rebellion, and
there died some of the most heroic
souls that ever yielded their lives for
their country
The commander of the memorable
fight was Gen G. A Forsyth. Ten
years ago the veteran was a visitor in
this city. He bore marks of the ter
rible encounter, and spoke reluctantly
Of the never-to-b e-forgotten experience.
but he told a story which will long be
remembered by those who heard it. He
said he had never revisited the scene
Of the battle and never expected to do
so. as the recollection Of the sufferfngs
of those days was quite enough. The
monument dedicated last Sunday stands
on an island of sand at the mouth Of the
Arickaree- On this island the gallant
band of white men made their memoir
able stand A band of so men was sur
rounded by I 600 Infatuated sayages- 1t
seemed that these men would certainly
be annihilated- The escape was little
short of a miracle
1T was in the summer and fall of
1853 that the Northern Cheyennes and
Sioux carried terror and death along
the border" said General Forsyth in
speaking of the battle. They killed
many settlers and narrowed all the lit
tie settlements into the profoundest ex
citement. I asked that I might take the
field and was accordingly given com
mand OF a party of so scouts Most of
the men had seen hard service. and all
could be thoroughly relied upon We

PLANTING OF BULBS.
Expert Gives Some Information
For Amateur Gardeners.

Cornelius A ProhI of SIS Chestnut
street sends the following letter on the
subject Of how to beautify parks both
private and public and the culture Of
plants
The movement that is astir for mu-
nicipal establishment reflects itself in
the greater care bestowed on private
grounds. in the larger interest taken IN
the adOrnment Of the home surroundings
and in the press fostering and encourag-
ing such laudabIe efforts
AS there is nothing so fascinating as
the culture Of bulbs I will take that as
the subject Nearly all the flowers Of
spring which are brilliant in color and
effective in form proceed from bulbs or
cOrms- Snowdrops, squilIs. cFocuses-
narcissi and hyacinths are all beautiful
and easily grown They demand no par
tlcular care and are neither fTeaky nor
sensitive. They make fine masses Of
color and ara grown with great effect

bons and borders for other plants IN

correct. for what We term bulb is, cor
rectly speaking. a CORN A CORN is a
very short thickened root stock with
roots below and buds above;it IS a reser-
yoir of nourishment containing the latter
in the thickened stem When planted,
roots grow from the bottom of the CORN
and afterward the bud shoots upward
into the air and light This gives the
key for dubious plants The roots must
be allowed to form before the growth
of stems and flowers begins.
The time to plant spring bulbs in
the garden is from the last week in Oc-
tober until about the middle Of Noven-
Der. If planted earlier the plant Will

if deferred much later the roots viii be

vegetate- The best location for the beds

soil should be dug and stirred to a
depth of about 20 inches with a liberal
dressing Of well decayed COW manure
added and worked IN. If the ground is
too heavy, there must be Incorporated
with it a good proportion of sand and
leaf mould. The bed should be formed

THE rows should be planted six inches

The Shipping World says: "a good
story aproPos of the visit of the
japanese prince is being told in Paris
about former Japanese embassy
which came TO France TO arrange
about three free ports which were to
be opened TO trade in Japan and
France, respectively. The French
minister of foreign affairs chose
Yokohama, Yeddo and Han-Yang. The
japanese ambassador smiled and
went away. Soon afterward Japan
signified that she had salected the
three French ports OF Havre, Mar
settles and Southampton. The French
foreign Office went into fits of laugh
ter az this blunder, and pointed out
that Southampton was in England.
We are perfectly aware of it, re-
piled the Japanese ambassador, and
is in Korea"
