CENTRAL UNION NOTES.

Editor Advertiser: After an enforced
vacation the Central Union church is
at work again with more than usual
vigOr. Strangers at last Sundays SER
vices were greeted not only with hand
snakes but with a dainty little Wei
come card introduced by Mr.. Brown.
The card is printed in colcrs, notes the
regular services of the week, contains
hearty welcome from the pastor,
gives names of the workers with hours
at which they may be seen at the
church and includes a slip on which
newcomers may record their names and
addresses to deposit in a box just plac-
ed in the yestibule.
Nr. Brown is planning 10 have card
catalogues of all members of the con-
gregation and Of the Bible school, and
last Sunday slips were distributed in
order TO get the necessary data.
| a set of large rubber type is in EVIL
| dence in various ways in the Bible
tschool and on bulletin in front of the
/ Ahurch calling the attention of
| strangers TO the services, young men
/ 20 a new class for them, and thinking
people to a class Just forming for study
of the lesson and the best ways of pre-
| senting it to different classes. Mrs.
4 Brown will conduct the class tomorrow
/ and a full attendance of men and
/ women is desired.
A plan of visitation of all districts
of the city is about to be launched. A
mimeograph is proving its value in
many lines of church work.
The pastor will preach at both serv-
ices tomorrow-in the morning on
| Mystery" and in the evening on
sympathy" On the platform in the
lecture room in a Wernicke bookcase
is an up-to-date missionary library of

The Former Says the Law Was Not
 Enforced at the Springs.

Pine Bluff Ark. jan. g. 1900. Editor Daily .1raphic-In your Sunday issue appears clipping from the Hot Springs Daily News. saying that made a fight against compul- sorY vaccination at Hot Springs during ali epidemic there In 1895 and that. vaccination was1euforced just the sane."
 l beg to inform the News and it's readers that compulsory vaccina- Uion was not enforced there just the same. The bluff was made there aLd one of our men, patent of Dr. Morris Hale, was arrested and they even allowed the case to be called ill police court. but when they found us standing pat' and ready for trial they dismissed the case-no fine, no vaccination.
 Nor was another person ever threatened with arrest after that, though hundreds of people walked the streets unvaccinated and the board of health and the police knew 1t.
 The above facts may be substan- tiated by the Ledgerwood Bros. and many other good witnesses in Hot Springs.
 Editor Wadley would not do me nor any man an injustice, so 1 ask i him to make this correction.
 Yours for fair play,

10TH CENTURY DIRECTORY

The Ada 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 1, 1901, the first day of the goth Century. Pine Bluff has never had a first class City Direc- tory, but the Adams-Wilson Print. ing Company will spare neither pains nor expense to make it's diree- tory first class and correct it 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 a census of the city until the complp- tion of the Sawyers & Austin plant, which will bring Eew inhabitants to this, city. A city directory prior to that time would be practically worthless and out-of- date before it's deliy very.
 With the beginine of the 20th Cen 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 oil.
 Our Directory will fill a long felt . want in Pine Bluff and we believe 'sfhat the enterprise will be apprecia- leed and patronized by our people.

NO WATER ID BE HAD
The Home and Contents of a Hard
 working Negro Burned.

The home aud household goods therein, situated on North Elm street in this city, the property of Henry Taylor, was destroyed by fire last Sunday morning
 The alarm was turned in at 2::30, and the .'Oid Reliable" fire boys were soon at their post of duty. Two lines of hose were stretched and attached to the plugs, but when the boys turned on the water the stream did no. respond. They waited fully ten minutes, but still there was no water to be had. Chief Senyard rushed to the water works nearby and inquired as to the cause1 but the night engineer told him, so we are told, that he was waiting for the boys to come and tell him that they wanted water.
 Is this so? Can it be that the home and the entlre household goods of a poor, hardworking negro was lost through the negligence of the waterworks people? If so, t should be investigated.
 There was no insurance held OF either the building and the house hold effects.
 A slight damage, by fire, was done at the home of Mr. Boo Rue on East Sixth avenue Sunday after noon. Insurance.
