NEW DRY GOODS STORE,
J. H. eoOiNs w. MURPHY H. AND E. N scHosER TO COMPOSE THE NEW FIRM, ALL FINE BUSINESS MEN, AND WELL KNOWN GOODS CIRCLES

Within a day or two papers of in corporation of a big new dry goods concern will be filed here The con- pany will be headed by J. H. Eddins, who needs no introduction to the peo- pie of this section of the country and especially of Pine Bluff, where he founded and headed for a long time the J. H. Eddins Dry Goods company on Second avenue, better known, per haps, as the Grand Leader" This establishment, under MT. Eddins' capable management, soon became cne of the fashionable dry goods. con cerns of the city, and still enjoys that distinction. A few months ago. MT. Eddins sold this bushes into other hands. and for the past few months has had charge of a bankrupt stock Of goods at Star City.
 The other members of the new firm will consist of J. w. Murphy, G. H. Martin and F. NJ. Schober. All of these gentlemen, too, are very we'll known to the purchasing public of Pine Bluff For many years they have been conspicuously identified with the commercial interests of the city as employees Of Isaac Dreyfus' Big Store on Main and Second Mr. Mur- phy is the floor walker of that estab- lishment which nos tion he has held for many years, and during that pc riod of time has become known as one of the most popular business men

ill the city. His efficiency as a busi- ness man, and especially in the dry goods line, is too we'll recognized to be brought into question. He is also possessed of a very pleasing person. alty which renders him the more popular with the public generally Like Mir Murphy, Messrs. Martin and Schober have long been connected with the Dreyfus establishment, hold ing most responsible positions with that concern, and are capable men from every standpoint. Their long connection with the Big Store has not only qualified them with years of experience. but has also rendered them an extensive acqua ntanceship with the public and the pub1ic's wants. Thus the quartet of gentle men who will compose the new firm are all experienced and most success ful business men. Their long terms of service in the business world fit them as nothing else could for the conduct of the new business, of which they can scarcely make anything else except success.
 The new company will capitalize with $25.000, ample capital for con aucting the business they have in view. It is understood that they will occupy the Austin building on Main street, between Third and Fourth avenues. It will be opened up short ly
