upon this latter idea. and think the
deal will never materialize.
It has been reported that Memphis
and Nashville would join the Amerl-
can association. George Tebeau de-
nies this story. although Caruthers
Ewing is the possessor Of a letter
from that same gentlemen which con-
tains the assertion that these two
cities can enter the association when
ever they get ready. But if troubles
now on can be settled satisfactorily
it is hardly probable that Memphis
and Nashville will quit the organiza,
ton in which they now have such a
powerful sway.
Everybody in Pine Bluff is elated
over the prospects of Pine Bluff be-
coming member OF the Cotton
States League, and especially delight
ed are the sports who not only love
to witness the game, but who also
place a little money on the games
lust to increase their interest in the
sport.
Baseball is a popular game with
the Pine Bluff people, and with this
city as a part of the Cotton States
league. the game would be we'll pat

do well to take Pine Bluff into the

was referred to the committee by the
congressional delegates at the state

Glance.

The official emblem of ArkaRsas for
the St. Louis Worl's fair has been
adopted. theS official announcement
having been made today by President
George Bedding of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition, who is spending the
day in the city. The design, chosen
from among the dozen submitted in
competition, was that drawn by 'Fitz
Burton of Hot Springs, late of Ala
bama, who therefore wins the gold
medal offered by the board for the
best design.
It has been copyrighted, and will be
the only official emblem of the state at
tile fair. 1t will be used for buttons.
stick pins and other articles of jewel
ry, and will prove to be most attrac-
tive souvenir They will be sold by
the directory for the benefit of the eX-
position fund. They are now receiv-
ing samples and prices from various
manufacturers. The design represents
q large red apple, and shows at a
glance the material advancement OF
the state. The designs are on the in
side of the apple outline At the top
is "a picture of the state building as de-
signed by architect Hart. To the left

The south has never before witness
ed such state of affairs in t..e base
ball line as now exists, says the Mem
phis Morning News. Plans to Or
ganize new Southern league, others
to straighten out and put in better
condition the present aggregation OF
clubs and still others to put certain
cities now in the league into the
American association next year are on
foot. 1t would seem that every per-
son now connected with the league
has some pet plan in view, W.ilch Will
not only put an end to the trouple
that exists in the organization at pres
ent. but at the same time be OF great
benefit to- the city in which that per-
son lives.
He who ventures to say how the
whole matter will end would indeed
be presumptuous man. But 1t Is
very doubtful if any such Would-De
sage exists The report that new
league will be formed has been
strongly supported by the majority OF
those in authority, and the story that
Little Rock, Chattanooga and Shreve-
port. will be dropped has also re-
ceiyed it's share of credulity, although
a few knowing ones think this latter
proposition an improbability. The
LATEST turn in the situation is the re-
port g. ten-city circuit-Montgom
erv and Mobile, Ala, to be added to
the circuit existing at present. How
ever MANY have looked with askance

preciate an early settlement OF

innocent babes. He privately
cheweth a Glove when he meeteth

with him he standeth to leeward
and curbeth his breath as with a
strong bit. tie goeth home late
at night to his freary wife with
berry breath and cold feet. He
riseth mp before time and hiketh
out berore breakfast saying,sI go

The "Unhorsing;'' Of the Seventh.

On the battlefield Of Chicka-
manga last Sunday, we are told In
the news dispatches, President
Roosevelt led the Seventh United
States Cavalry sat a sharp trot''
for a mile and a half, and "the
pace was so hot that several of
the troopers were endorsed and
the ambulance corps was called in
to service.
There's something very perplex-
ing in all this. The Seventh Reg
iment is the crack cavalry regi-
Inent in the United States Army
Wouldn't we all laugh and boot if
we read that a regiment of the
Kings Household Cavalry Of the
British service, or General lie Gal
lifet's old cuirassier regiment in
the army of France, had been I'M
able to keep up "a sha p trot''
for a mile and a half over good
ground without losing several
troopers through their being I'M
horsed? 1t would seem to funny
TO be true.
And that must be the case in
the present instance. Surely it
must be that the firm seated tt, OPP
ers Of our own Seventh Cavalry
permitted Their politeness t, tenn
porarily take precedence ever even
their reglmental pride.
They knew that Mr.. Roosevelt
holds his reputation as a Rough
Rider as the very apple of lis eye.
With the grim humor of ''regu-
lars" they probably reasoned that
IL would tlckle The PRESIDENT to
think he had ridden Seventh
Cavalry mensout of their saddles.
And so, to oblige lr. Roosevelt,
and, perhaps, to amuse themselves
dismounted, one by one, a
little squad Of them, endorsed
by a "sharp trot Of a mile and a

The only way to build up a
town is for each and every man to
pull together and not strive to
rend and tear down. All the resi-
dents Of q town are partners AMI
not opponents. In all likelihood
the more business done by your
rival the more you will do. Every
merchant who treats his customers
honestly and fairly will get his
share of the trade, and the more
business that can be secured by
united effort the better it will be
for all. When a town ceases to
grow it commences to die, and
the more people try to kill each
other off in their business and
sood name, the more rapidly will
ruin come:to all. Stand together
for the advancement Of every
citizen, and if a man shows ability
to prosper do not pull him down
with cold NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

''The widow of DIR. Lazeare, who, in

Fever through mosquito bites, and died,

a dangerous vehicle for carrying Ma

Henry Watterson is violently
assailing the 400 society families
Of New York. He says some very
hard things about them and in his
last attact compares them to the
denigens ofthe slums of Gotham.
All of which reminds us of the
passage Of scripture which says
something about getting the beam
out Of your own eye before yon
ohide your neighbor for having
4 mote in his. Henry ought TO
know the 400 we'll. That Is the
class that be runs with.
