BIG TIME AT LITTLE ROCK.
Great Preparations Being Made For "Ju bIlee Week." November 26 to De-
 eember |. IucIusIye.

The greatest preparations ever made for any similar event in the south are those now being matured, under the auspices of the Board of Trade entertainment committee of Little Rock, for jubilee week." No vember 26th to December 1st. inclu- sive, in commeroration of the historic event of laying the corner stone Of the new state capitol, which occurs on Tuesday, November 27. 1900.
 It is the aim. the desire. and the intention of this committee to make this 6 state event in every sense and particular. for it is an event in which every loyal citizen of Arkansas, re- gardless of where he lives. has. or should have, as much pride in the speedy construction of the new state capitol as have the citizens of Little Rock, the city in which the old and the new capitols are located. The erection of a new and modern state capitol, to mark and keep pace with the marvellous progress that Arkan- sas has made in the past two or three decades, has long since been regarded as a necessity by the patriotic, state state. In the language of Grover Cleveland. it is no longer a theory that confronts us, but a condition. The new state capitol has been begun. The formal laying of the corner stone will occur on Tuesday, November 27th and on that occasion every citizen of the state, whose heart throbs with patri otic emotion at the very mention of Grand old Arkansas" is earnestly and cordially invited by the Board of Trade entertainment committee to be iii Little Rock on that occasion. The committee is working in perfect har mony with the state capitol commis. sion. This commission is composed of Gov. Dan W. Jones. chairman, and MT. o. c. Ludwig secretary, with the remainder of the members from va rious parts of the state. one from each congressional districts, as fol lows:

 The week beginning November 26th and ending December l, 1900, inclu- sive, which has very appropriately been designated as Jubilee week" is destined to go down in history as the greatest week in the history of Ar kansas.
