HEAD CROPPING IN ORDER.
The City Fathers Are Going to Re-
 duoe the City's Expenses.

At the last meeting of the eli y council the office of East End police man, held by c. H. Dyer, was abolished and that officer was let out of service. We understand that the office of city sdnitarlan, held by Sandefur Currie, is to be abolished at the next meeting of the couacil, and two of City Engineer White men are to be fired. This course is belng taken to reduce the city ex- penses, and from what we hear. the ''decapitating" will continue until the city fathers are satisfied that the city can exist properly wi thout goieg further into debt.
 The city Of Pine Bluff is now in debt 10 the amount of about $50, 000 roughly estimated, and for the past few years the eiiy's annual re- ceipts have decreased, and the mu- nieipality has gone further into debt from four to six thousand dol- lars each year.
 The city police department has al ready been "chopped' sufficiently fine. There are now only six po- licemen on the force, three night men and three day men. Their sai- aries are very small in comparison to their respective duties, and the city caonot afford to let any more of them out.
 At present city scrip brings only 85 cents. Heretofore city scrip was worth 90 cents. It is decreasing an- nually. and If the present state ot affairs is allowed to continue 1t will be worth about 50 or 65 cents in the course of few years, as ia former years.
 The Pine Bluff Water and Light company receives from the city nually from $l1,000 to SIP 900 for light and water. This company IS eating the city's revenues of it's ex- pense money, aud to this ID ay be at tributed the present ominous con ditions.

4 WAGON BRIDGE,
Across the Arkansas is Talked About
 at This Place.

There is some talk of inaugural ing q movement to petition tbe county to build wagon bridge oyer the Arkansas river at this place.
 When one thinks of it an electric line is not half So badly needed as a substantial wagon bridge across the Arkansas river at this point. At present it is common thing to see fifty or seventy-fve wagons loaded with cotton lined up awaiting very slow work by the ferry.
 A Graphic reporter learned Sat urday that numbers of farmers, who live north 0: tbe river, carry their cotton to other points simply be- cause they find it a difficult matter to cross the river at this place.
 A good wagon bridge would cost about $250 GOO, and our citizens would do well to investigate the matter.

"Irrigation of land is an art that has
existed for many centuries previous to
any authentic written history. The
traditions of the Chinese people are
very ancient, and irrigation is men
toned in their most ancient traditional
history, as being extensively practiced.
In Egypt, Syria and the ancient king
doms of Eastern Asia, agriculture de-
pended almost wholly upon irrigation,
and still so depends in these lands
where the people have survived the po-
litical changes of thousands of years.
Virgil in his rural poems thus describes
exactly the processes which. r follow
ed now. "He leads the stream and
flowing riyulets, to the growing corn,
and when the burnt field dries up, the
herbs dying, he leads the water and
cools the parched fields with rills."-
The irrigation of gardens, vineyards
and fields, is frequently referred to in
the Scriptures, one of the earliest books
speaks Of it and one of the profits refers
to sfurtows of the plantation"
