Honorable Mayor and Council Of the
city of Pine Bluff:
The board of directors Of Gene
terry Association desire you to have
published IN the city papers the
following request, with your en-
Gorsement. Respectfully.
MRS. T. B. ATKINSON,
BROTHER CARR.
The board of directors of Gene
terry Association have decided to
plant beautiful shade trees on the
sidewalks of the cemetery, and are
very anxious to have the forest
trees cut down. They will begin
work to that effect August Is. All
persons that object to having trees
on their lots cut, will please notify
the sexton at once.
Aid. Fox offered the following
resolution in regard to the ladies
communication. Adopted.
Resolved, That the city council
recognize the good work done by
the ladies, and have their request
before them as to cutting trees. In
reply beg to say that it is the #opin-
ION of the couL ell that trees on pri-
waite lots are private property and
that we, as a councii, have no right
to give permit TO cut the trees on
these lots, but would enter no OBJ
lection where consent of owners can
be gotten. Believe that the idea as
to setting out prettier tree is a
good one and would like to see it
done FRED Fox

Of young ice.' which would roll with

were breakfast at $50, lunch at 9. dinner

and softened the young ice so that It was

tell a genuine spout from spray thrown
up by a choppy swell through a hole in
an ice cake or between pieces OF ice.
Passing bleak, mountainous Cape Nava-

less yielding than we had yet experienced,
and frequently Ice and tide would carry
us farther astern in q few hours than
we had progressed in n day or two of
