IN LIGHTER VEIN


New Year is the time for making
GOOD resolutions and 1t might not be
amiss to suggest one that everybody
can afford to make-quit knocking and
go to boosting every enterprise that
is for the good of the city of Pine Bluff.
Cultivate civic pride, patronize home
industry, build up the city in every
Dossible way and talk Pine Bluff. There
are many improvements needed in the
city and the quickest way to get them
is for a long pull, a strong pull and
null all together. If in the daily walk
and conversation of everyone, either
at home or abroad, we show that we
believe Pine Bluff is really it why
then, the possibilities Of the future are
unlimited Paved streets q hard
wood plant, a cotton mill, a new city
hall, Y VI. G. \. s.nG even a new
un5on depot may yet be built.
Radium can be bought for $f.809000
per pound, and this seems to be a
pretty steep price eut a recent al
nCuncement tells Of a Lew substance
of which there is not So much as a
pound in the world which is worth
100000 600 per pound. The newly
discovered substance is named actin
ium. and is closely akin to fadium The
poor man, however, cannot waste much
time thinking about either substance
with butter 40 cents per pcand AMI
eggs 50 cents per dozen.
If minstrel man were to come to
Pine Bluff and not get off a joke on the
depot he would not be considered up to
date. Fred Huber. with the Vests
minstrels. was the last one. Huber, in
talking about unions, said he was a
union man until he came TO Pine Bluff,
but when he saw that there was no
unien depot here he pulled out.
There is one man in Pine Bluff
about whom at least ten people are
worrying. }. F. Culpepper, the pas
sive' chief of police, is the one VINO
is proving to be the stumbling block.
Every few days we hear that there is
something doing in police CIRCLES,
and the problem of the police muddle
is solved anew. Mr.. Culpepper has
positively announced a score of times
that he will not relinquish his tlain1s
to the Office until the supreme court
decides that his title is not good. But

If Won wish for a rough gauge Of a

say. You cannot ind a better one than TO
