CONSOLIDATION
OF FOUR OF THE LEADING IN
SURANCE AGENCIES OF
PINE BLUFF.
FIRST Dissolve and Then Unite Into
One, Making It More Satisfactory
in Handling Business.

70 Our Friends and Patrons: We
beg to announce that we have deter
mined to dissolve our individual To-
cal lnsuranc eagencies. and associate
ourselves in one single agency, and
to that end. that we have organized,
and shall charter. the Home 1nsur-
ance Agency which will begin bus
mess at No. III Main street, on No.
vember i, 1905.
This new plan will greatly reduce
our expenses. and at the same time
enable us to render better and more
satisfactory service to our patrons, re-
hevlng them of the necessity of deal
ing with a multiplicity of agents, for
scarcely any line will be too large for
the Home Agency to handle alone.
The new agency will also conduct
a general real estate business. includ-
ing conveyancing and the negotiation
of loans.
1t will represent none but old line
stock companies. affording the sound
est of indemnity. and it's facilities
will be many times greater than those
OF any other agency in this territory.
We are not strangers. but old citi-
zens of this community, aud expert
enced insurance men. we'll known to
You. and we promise the same honest
dealings as have characterized our
former agencies. individually, in the
past. and also that intelligent service
that arises from experience alone.
There will be no confusion in ham
ding of yo1lr lines already in any of
our former agencies, for your renew
ais shall have our prompt and careful
attention as the expirations are reach
ed.
We cordially and heartily thank
YOU for the confidence and patronage
heretofore bestowed upon each of us,
and earnestly solicit the same for the
new agency. Very truly,

stituted suit in the Jefferson circuit
court against the Western Union
Telegraph company for the sum of
1925 alleged damages sustained be-
cause the telegraph company failed
to deliver promptly message sent
by the plaintiff in the case. Bell
claims that he sent message to the
J. B. Sawyer company in Little Rock
in October last year, stating that he
would be there on a certain date to
accept position offered him. The
telegraph company failed to deliver
the message promptly, and thus caus-
ed him to lose the job. Therefore
he prays damages in the sum of s125.

HIGH CLASS.

A well-known New York composer,
who had long felt the need of a rep

disposal of his compositions, read re.
Gently the advertisement of bureau
which offered to place musical and
other manuscripts with publishers.
Their charges were fairly high, and
the advertisement stated expressly
that only work 'of the highest grade"
was handled by the bureau. The
composer, thinking that this was
probably the opportunity he had been
looking for, sought the address given
in the advertisement. Entering the
Offices of the concern, he found the

There are three slzes-large, intermeoiaoe
and small, besides the baby swings. Ana
the lives of many frail babies have boon
saved by these swings. ,
"In the hot hours of the day the social
occupation work is given to the girls from
to is years old. Tether ball Is very
popular game with the girls, who also
play tennis and volley ball, and among tho
children the giant stride is very popular.
For the girls in Hamilton Fish Park
there is library and quiet game room where
they can spend an hour in the afternoon.
Considerable work is done in summer In
the outdoor gym and on the track, dumb
bell exercises, and so on. In the winter
they build toboggans, snow men, and nave
winter entertainments and parties, which
are extremely popular.
What all this means to the city Is not
appreciated by one man in thousand.
Some people who have merely heard that
! the city is spending lot Of money to provide
sports for the children Of the poorer quar-
tiers have said it was waste OF money,
and the city might better spend 1t some
other way.
But they do not know what they are
talking about. This work means not alone
tn breaking up Of the gang, which y IN ITSELF
highly desirable thing, but it means also
the making OF good citizens with an interest

from Brooklyn and Queens and Staten

"A grand tournament is held about once
in six months On July 1 such a tourna-
ment was held for all the playground parks.
The Commissioner awarded medals TO the
most skilful players in various games and
contests. and the park winning The greatest
number of points received pennant.
This is now held by Hamilton Fish Park
"On special occasions, also, tournaments
are held. such as the opening OF new park
or playground. On Sept. such tourna-
ment will he held at the opening OF De Witt
Clinton Park.
I'VE try to devote as much time as posi-
, BILE to the general mass on the playground
and yet develop teams and clubs. The
enthusiasm among the boys for these teams
has grown rapidly. and the park spirit now
displayed is really remarkable.
when the work was first started here
the park would be fairly swamped by
horde of tough youngsters who had never
had any freedom without lawlessness, and
! who did not know what to make OF the
thing. They wanted to tear everything
to pieces. They couldn't keep their hands
of They had no regard for rules or regu-
lations OF any kind. :,
MANY, il not most. Of the older boys
wanted to do nothing but fight. They
had been brought up in the street. they
! had never had any other place to play.
| Their ideas of fun were derived from the
dime novel and trash of that kind. and so
they robbed the pushcart men and COM
mitted other petty depredations, not be-
cause they wanted to rob, primarily, but
because that was their idea of sport.
And 80 the gang developed. and many
East Side boys simply for lack of proper
supervision and room to work OH their
surplus energies became criminals. 1t was
a hard task at first to develop order among
gu Oh lawlees class but gradually the boys
came to see that the new ideals we're better
than the old, and that it was to their interest
to play according to the rules.
soon there sprang up strong rivalry
to make the team, and then to win contests
from the teams Of the other parks. To-day
the youngsters who few years ago would
ha We spent their time on the street fighting,
brawling and robbing pushcart men,
come into the playground park and work
like bea vers at wholesome exercise to gain
a place on some team, and incidentally
the respect of their fellows, their teachers
and the community.
in the neighborhood of the playground
parks the gang has been completely broken
I'D, and many of the boys who were the
tou ghest specimens we had to deal with
when the Fairgrounds were first opened
are to-day studying for the law, or medi-
cine, or some other profession.
"And not only the boys, but the girls also
are benefited by these Fairgrounds. The
girls are taught kindergarten and socia
occupation work. There are sand houses
and building blocks for the smaller chill
dren; dancing games and many others fol
