 To those who have lately come to us, attracted by our unequalled ad- vantages, 1 desire to say few words ]. in support Of my candidacy. During all the years of my sojourn here I have ever held the success of our city as of paramount importance. Every effort made by our citizens in the direction of improvement has not only received my personal support, but according to my ability, have Il given my time and means When an effort was being made to secure the building of the Cotton Belt shops at their present location, which meant so much to Pine Bluff and from which it's greatest impetus was derived, 1 personally contributed $500 toward raising the necessary bonus, and devoted several months of my time to securing other contri- ybutions. This did without the hope # Of reward, but prompted solely by a @ desire to make our city second to #none in the State.

"1t was a grand success. The

hall of Gus Lacoste, decorated for
the occasion, was a fitting back
ground for the youth and beauty
who were present to grace the oc-
casion. The costumes worn by the
fair dancers took on varied and lr-
redescent hues under the glare OF
two immense arc lights, and under
the inspiring influence of strains OF
sweetest music the ball was form
ally opened by a march, led
by Judge Coffey. Chesterfield
himself could not have looked more
dignifed than the Judge, and after
the grand march, the programme
of dancer was gone through, and in

The advantages that fall to the lot
OF a man whose surname occurs early
in an alphabetical list are we'll known.
As a candidate for office upon an Aus
tratan ballot, for example. a man
named Abbot has a far better chance
than the most eminent Zweigler. But
the benefit that comes from the pos
session Of a short name has not here
tofore been generally recognized. Not
long ago the promotion OF one Of the
auditors OF the Treasury department
at Washington created a vacancy to
which, upon u formal recommendation
to that effect, the candidate having
the shortest name, being also a COM
petent man, was appointed. His chief
duty is to afix his signature TO ac-
counts, and as he needs to make but
six letters in signing, he can do twice
as much In a day as a man whose
name contains twelve letters.
