of domestic infelcity, the bruises an
parent on her face are the result OF

Up TO THE PEOPLE
TO Say Whether Pine Bluff
Shall Have a New
Opera House.
ELkS HAVE AGAIN TAKEN UP
THE MOVEMENT AND MEAN
BUSINESS
Ask for Public Subscription of Only
$1,000 and the Elks Will Do the
Rest.
COMMITTEE NAMED TO PUSH 1T

The Elks say that ii is now mp to
the people Of Pine Bluff as to whether.
OF not they shall build am opera
house
They met last night at Elks hall
and it was one of the most enthusiasts
tic meetings. the Elks have ever held
in this city. resolution was adopt,
ed, the sense of which was that they
propose building an opera house and
Elks home, if the public would give
them some financial assistance
Many assurances were given by
different members Of the lodge last
night of financial aid and it is the
general opinion that Pine Bluff is now
nearer to having an opera house than
any time since the old house was de
stroyed b. fire
The following committee of repre-
sentative business men and Elks was
appointed to call on the public for
subscriptions: r. B. Bloom, John
Speers, Charles Senyard, w. d. Jones
The committee will make a canvass
in few days.
a prominent Elk in conversation
with a Graphic representative said
you may tell the public that the
Elks have decided to build an opera
house with an Elk's home in connec-
ton with it. that will be structure
the city will feel proud of, providing
the public lends some financial as
sistance
"The Elks,' he said, will ask only
a small bonus. They expect to re-
ceive at least $4,000 in public sub
scriptions, and they are willing to
put up for the balance"
Anorther Elk said that if they
could build an opera house and Elk
home and pay for it in twenty years
he would be perfectly satisfied. There
is no question as to the determination
of the Elks to build an opera house,
and as only small bonus is requir
ed to carry out the enterprise, there
should be no hesitation on the palt
of the public in helping it along

BY FEBRUARY FIRST
New Light Plant and Electric
Street Railway Will Be-
in Operation
IF NO UNFORESEEN OBSTACLES
ARISE, AND FIRST RAIL
WAY TEST
May Be Made Next Saturday-Ma-
chinery Nearly All in and Being
Perfected Daily.
MODERN IN EVERY RESPECT

The machinery is nearly all placed
in the power plant of the Citizens
Light and Traction company, and the
machinery that has been put in is
being operated daily in order to get
it perfectly adjusted and to running
the smoothest possible by the time to
begin operation of the light and rail
way systems.
\ force of men is at work placing
the remainder of the machinery. and
it is thought that it will all be in and
ready for the first test of the railway
system next Saturday.
Mr.. Hammond superintendent Of
the company, says that if no unfor-
seen obstacles arise. both the light
and railway systems will be ready to
put into operation on February !.
newt Saturday week
1t requires considerable time to
get new light and railway system
into operation. Either requires sev-
eral months, and when both are to be
Installed there are many details to be
perfected which can not be done in a
brief while, but requires much time
and careful work. Even after it is
thought that everything is in good
working trim and the plant is started
1t is nearly alawys the case that some
temporary delays are occasioned by
reason of the adjustment of the ma
chinery is not thorough.
The people Of the city will receive
the announcement with great pleas
ure that the prospects are SO favor
able for the beginning of operation OF
the new light plant an delectrical rail
way on February /.
The plant, both light and transit. IS
modern in every respect. and no city
in the South of the size of Pine Bluff
will have more complete and up-to
date street cars and lighting system
