OF the city, have become very much
worked up over the declaration of a
negro woman waos< maiden name

married. that a cloudburst or some
awful calamity will befall Pine Bluff.
The young negro woman claims to
have been visited bw the spirit of
God or an angel and that she was told
to leave the city before Friday, May
30, and to take all friends and ev-
cry particle of property that she has,
and to not stop short OF distance
of six miles from the city. Many of
the negroes in the city are packing

him warning the people Rev Moore,
when interviewed, stated that he did
not intend to leave the city on that
date, but would remain in Pine Bluff.
Many OF the servants of the white
people have become so excited that
they have quite their places and sev.

On the streets and in the yards OF
the homes OF the negroes may be
seen negroes discussing the awful ca.
lamity which they say is sure to come
next Friday just as the negro woman
has predicted. The woman says that
the white folks say she is crazy, but
next Friday they will find out that
she is sane and knows what she is

NOT GOOD TRADE GETTERS
What Some of the Business Men Think
Of CarniValS.

Pine Bluff has had it's second street
fair. 1t is always alleged that a
carnival brings thousands Of people to
the city, and as a result thousands of
dollars are spent with the merchants
which they would not otherwise get
The carnival which occurred over a
wear ago had such miserable weather
to contend with that it could not be
regarded as fair test of carnivals
as business investment for drawing
that there was some inclement wealth
er last week. but there was fair wealth
er enough to make it easy enough to
determine whether carnivals are
money-getters for the merchants. and
the Graphic decided to feel the pulse
of the merchants along that line, be-
cause if they were in any manner ma
terially aided by the carnival they
would not hesitate to say so, nor would
they hesitate to say that they were
not benefited if they were not. The
following are short interviews with
many of the business men:
S. katzenstein: "Our business was
$500 better fair week than any other
week this year
Strauss and Miller: ''Local trade
badly hurt
Alton Walker: "Wasnt helped a
bit; the fair was a fake as a business
getter." :.
The big Store: eve can't tell,
though we think we got little extra
trade
S. A. Rosenburg: Don't want any
more fairs. My business was 25 to 35
The year before business fell off SO

Kaufman's Bazaar: Cant see that
business is helped any by the fair
Jake Simon: "The fair does not
help any, but takes away business"
L. B. Coon: did not help me any
that l can see"
Y Kaufman's confectionery: "I can't
tell. l have had an increase in busi-
ness, but I think I would have had it
anyway on account of my new foun-
tain and extensive improvements
J. A. Coles: "The fair did not help
my business any,
J. w. Smith: "My business was
5000 lighter last week than the week
before. Did not help, but kept bust
