PINE BLUFF
Best Place in Arkansas ACCORDING to
Chicago Man.

A prominent real estate dealer of
Chicago, who has just made a tour of
the most interesting business portions
OF the state, last night, said to rep
resentative of this paper: THE place
in Arkansas which has most favorably
impressed me is Pine Bluff This city
has many natural advantages which
will easily make it superior to any
other place in the state. The streets
are wide and we'll kept, transportation
facilities excellent and the tributary
territory the richest Of any city have
visited during my sojourn in this sec
ton" The remarks of the Chicagoan
are directly in line with those of near
ly every visitor of recent months to
this place. Pine Blufians are rapidly
coming to a realization that the city
has put off it's village air., and that a
metropolitan life has come to take
their place.

actors. Mr.. Cheskey had force of
men at work on East Court street

told that he would have to get an Or

fore he could stop the work as the
carnival company had permission to

Cars

Vigorous opposition from the en-
ployes of the local Cotton Belt shops,
has met the arrangements announce
ment that the "hoodlum train would
be taken off the 1st prox., and electric
car service had in it's stead. For years
the"hoodlum has carried the employees
uptown to their daily labors, and the
expense of this transportation has
been borne by the railway company.
Now it is proposed to secure special
concession from the electric car line
and thus transport the men who are
to pay their own tranSpcrtat:cy :
petition, which has been signed By a
large majority of the shop men, will
soon be presented to the shop manage
ment, and the employees propose, if
necessary. to offer to pay for the main
tenance of the "hoodlum," which at
a liberal estimate, is about $40, while
car fare, ON q conservative estimate,
would be about $500 per month.
