wives ana families, also. Indeed, the
canal boat is their only home. A
canal boatman away from his boat is
like fish out OF water and just as
helpless. From one years end to the
other he is plying along one or another

Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfa-e's past:
The battles fought, the race is won,
And thou art crow ned at last
In condescending love,
Thy ceaseless prayer is heard
And bade thee suddenly remove
To thy complete reward.

FIRE IN FLUES.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN CASE
 IT OCCURS.
Turn in Still Alarm and the Depart. nent Will Do the Rest-FIue
 inspector.

During the past few years and es- pecially for the past several months the local departments have been greatly annoyed and unnecessarily called out to extinguish burning fiues, from which little damage usually re- suits, and which could be easily eX- tlngulshed by the occupants of the home where the accident occurs The calling out of the fire departments cause great excitement and long runs for the faithful animals which could all be avoided if our people would use little more judgement and not be so eXcitable
 If flue burns out at your home and you fear it might cause a blaze or do some damage, quietly go to the phone and tell "central' to notify Engine House No. l of the blaze. You can also request that it be still alarm. This department will turn out Immediately, and should they deem it necessary after arriving at your home, will call out the other department
 Chief Senyard thinks the city is badly in need of a hue inspector. There is little doubt of this fact. The departments would have fewer fires to fight and the insurance companies would have fewer losses to pay Let the City Council establish the office of flue inspector

MT Guy Beauman, an expert civil engineer and map publisher of Vien- na, H., is in Pine Bluff making ar engagements to publish map of lief successful and the map is published according to his plans, it will fill d longfelt want, and will add consid- erably to our advancement.
 Mr. Beauman's proposition is to produce a map of Jefferson County which will show the name of owners of each tract of land throughout the county, together with correct plat of such ownership. The map is to also show correctly the public roads, streams, bayous, railroads, towns, postofffces, schools, churches ana other such data which goes to make such plat or map complete 1t is also to be neatly colorcd by town ships mounted on cloth and spring rollers. Samples of such work from other counties show that this publish CT understands his business, and as a preliminary step he is calling on our citizens for contracts to buy one of the maps when it is published, thus guaranteening his sufficient patron age, which is a question, where such patronage is limited to a single coun- ty. Several of our leading citizens have subscribed and are much inter- ested in the success of the publica- ton.
