HON. c. R. BRECKENRIDGE
WILL BE URGED TO ACCEPT, THE NOMINATION FROM THIS
 DISTRICT.
Should the State be Re-Dstricted-- Much Speculation on the
 Subject Now.

Should the Congressional districts Of the state be changed, as proposed at present by the state Legislature, Hon. Clifton R. Brecknridge will be ufged to accept the nomination for the office of Congressman from. this distriet-the Second.
 There vas much talk on the streets in this cit5 Saturday regarding this to Graphic representative that tha merchants of the city will force Mai. Brecklnrldge to, accept the nomina- ton whethel he wants it or not. Tn view Of the fact of his great service to the people both in a national and local way, as instaneed by his untir ing efforts in improving the Arkansas river, which is still one of the most important matters before our peonla It IS felt that he is needed in Congress now All of our people realize that and open road way to the Gulf would be Of infinite value to commerce. both local and state. Maj. Breckinridge is now in the Indian Territory as a mem Der Of the Dawes Commission. though he still claims Pine Bluff as his home. His present position is not perma- nent
 Hon. s. M Taylor, of this city. is aslo being prominently mentioned for the position. Mir Taylor is also an able man and would fill the position with honor and credit in the congress sional halls.
 The Monticeiloian, an contemplating weekly Of Monticello, in it's last issue mentions Hon. J. H. Hinemon. of this city for the position and further stated that the people of that section would support him This created a little surprise here as it is generally conceded in this city that MT. Hine- mon IS going to De our next Superin- tendcnt of Public Instruction and is alfead being boomed all oyer the state for that office.

Justice Garrett recently married a negro couple from Dumas. The groom said he didnt have but dollar and insisted that the magistrate tie the knot for that amount. This was andignified work, thought Judge Car rctt, but to be accommodating he told the bride and groom to kiss and be happy and took the dollar as pin money, A few minutes after the couple left his office, the groom re- turned and leaving his newly acquired bride on the side walk, he went into Judge Garretts office and tried to bor- TOW the dollar, which he had just paid the J. P. 30 that they could taho their bridal tour to Dumas. Judge Garrett gave the negro the horse laugh and the couple went to Berlins stable on the opposite side of the street and the groom took q ''bridle 10 her.
