New Buildings Erected

AS mark Of the material prospe:-
11y OF the citizens of Pine Bluff
nearly 100000 was spent during the
year 1904 for the erection of business
houses and fine homes. This amount
is only roughly estimated by the con
tractors who have been busilv Ell
gagged during the year in building
these business houses
No way can be had of getingg at the
exact figures in this estimate as the
city does not require building permits
and many contracts have been let to
others outside the city.
The largest sum spent in the cree
ton of a single plant is that Of the
Sawyer and Austin Lumber company
upon which work is going on IN the
west end of the city The greater
part of this plant was destroyed by
fire during the summer and the plant
will probably not be finished for some
time.
The Consumers Ice company plant
was erected during the early spring
and summer at total cost OF ABOUT
$50. 600 ard is perhaps the next lare-
est concern to be erected during the
year.
Many fire residences have been
erected during the year and these
have been handsomely furnished at
an additional cost to the owner not
included in this estimate.
The information obtained from the
contractors only gives estimates on
work done by them and such puollc
bnildings as they could estimate from
the work done on them. The follow.
ing list is not complete but will give
an idea Of what was done by the
builders in Pine Bluff during 1904.

TOO MANY DESCENOAM rs.

4 reporter the other day went to
interview an old resident AMI busilte :
man who was about 10 Celebrate his
golden welding. Mr.. H. re'4tcl With
animation the circumstances under
which he met his wife and those
that led up to their marriage He
named without hesitation ,he dag and
hour the wedding occurred, and the
name Of the minister who perfo"n'et
the ceremony, and threw in on the
side number of interesting renin-
iscent remarks about old New York
in the days when he was a young
fellow about town.
How many children have YOU
ilquired the reporter.
After pause the old man replied:
Ten"
Il think that I can use their
names suggested the interviewer
Well. there's John Halifax, be
gan Mr., H. hesitatngly, "and Mary
Louise, who is married to DR.. G., and
Henjamin +. and Ernest a lawyer
in Jersey, and there is Mrs. Mary f, .
At this point Mr.. H. seemed very un-
certain and appeared to be getting
tangled. He added the names of Will
liam H.. after several minutes of de-
liberation. Another long pause, then
came the name of another daughter
Clara X. the wife of Baptist min
lister. It seemed an age before the
father recalled the name of a sou,
James S. There was still arother
child to be accounted for.
Mr. H. fumbled among his papers
on his desk He pushed his hands
through the little hair left on the back
of his head Then he got up and went
to one of the counters and began to
shift things about as if he had quite
forgotten the newspaper man. After
few minutes he returned with a
troubled look and taking a postal
card from small drawer in his desk
handed it to the reporter and said:
"Ah. well, please write your ad
dress on the card and will send the
other name by mail.
