Benefit of Hlgn Attitudes.

Going to the mountains for benefit or cases of pulmonary disease Is regular thing among persons thus afflicted. That there is reason for this many people understand, although they do not IOaow precisely what it Is. A num- Der of medical scientists have been working on this question, and have discovered that the increase in the red blood corpuscles, when one moves from lower to higher attitudes, is very mark ed. As it is known that the absence of red corpuscles causes debility and weakness, so the presence of many of them indicates higher degree of vi- tality and better state of health High. cool air is very beneficial in complaints of this sort. It is partly for this rea- son that the cold air treatment for consuu,ptives is so highly commended,

W1LRuR-KIRwIN OPERA COMPANY.

Few women of today can lay claim to the varied footlight experience of Susie Krwin, and the popularity of the Wilbur Kirwin Opera Company IS not to be wondered at The pro- ductions as a whole are most excel len5. Then there are any number of pretty girls, who actually know how to sing. There have been choruses in Pine Bluff, some being pretty aud some being able to sing, but there have been very few possessed of both such highly desirable qualifica sions. The Wilbur-Kirwin chorus has been trained to high degree of efficiency not on y in point in singing, but in stage work. The cast of principals is to be commended, like the chorus, for it's appear ance aud vocal strength. It has been the am of Miss Kirwin to maintain the same scale of ex- eellenee in the personnel of her com pany as characterized it when she was making her first bid for public favor. And few there are who will not say that she has achieved her aim. Stahl Murry opera. Said Pasha," has been selected for the opening opera. Between acts vat deYille will be given. The success of last season, "The Girl with the Auburn Locks,' has been retained, aud those in search of mirth never go astray when they spend an eyen- Ing with the company. The fun is clean too, and wholesome. The en- gagement is for three nights and Saturday matinee, with change of opera at each performance.

A recent issue of the Interstate Manufacturer contained an excellent illustrated article about Pine Bluff, showing up that city as cotton market. This is of course done by her enterprising citizens. Credit is justly due them for having got up enough to see that their city is prop eriy put before the world. Pine Bluff had representation at the recent Mayors convention now in session at New Orleans. Her news papers show tbat her merchants want trade aud are prepared to handle it. They invite people to do business with them. aud the result is Pipe Bluff is prosperous city. It takes live business men to make live towns. We are glad to see the push even in another town Of our state, which will add to it's greatness, but would much rather see much more of it in our own town Hope Gazette.
