Upon Which to Erect the Plant Here

In the purchase of lots seven. eight, nine and ten, in block one, Coclrill's addition to the city of Pine Bluff, the Cotton Belt railway has taken an. other step toward the consummation Of it's plans in extending it's business at the shops. The consideration for this property was $1200. It lies just west of and adjoining the Cotton Belt yards, north of the railway tracks, and is a valuable bit of real estate for the purposes the Cotton Belt com pany has in mind.
 It is understood that this purchase was made in order to afford the com pany more room for expanding it's business at the shops. It will be re- membered that the statement has been given out authoritatively that the company would certainly erect q car factory here at an early date, and it's location will probably be on the site just purchased.
 It is also understood that the com. pany is endeavoring to acquire pos session of other real estate adjoin- ing it's property at the yard, the pres ent holdings not being sufficient for the companys purpose.

BLOODY SUNDAY TO BE OBSERVED IN PINE BLUFF THIS AFTER
 NOON. Call for Mass Meeting at Red Mems Hall Signed By Mayor White and Others.

The following call for a mass meet ing 10 commemorate Bloody Sun day" che of the darkest days in the history of Russia has been issued. signed by number of prominent citizens whose names appear below:
 On January 22 there occurred at promises to be one of the most not able in it's farreaching effects that history has yet recorded. Notable not alone in it's effects, but also in it's brutality and absolute want of provocation. On that date thousands of inoffensive, confiding people met before the palace where they expect ed to have an audience with the czar, whom they adore as their little ia ther.' The belief of these simple minded, child-like people was that if they could get the ear of their sov- ereign that all their wrongs would be speedily redressed On the con trary, an armed mob of hirelings of the bureaucratic rulers was thrown upon these unarmed people and they were ruthlessly shot and sabered un- til thousands of men, women and chil- dren perished. This was the answer of their rulers to their petitioners and thus they with surprise and the injustice of the a-t. the masses re- coiled as only repulsed confidence can. Throughout the world this has been by common consent properly named "bloody Sunday All have been more or less conscious of the importance of this want to the en- tire world. That the endurance of human nature had reached it's eX- treme limit. That manhood repressed to this degree must react or perish, and in so perishing carry down with it the remaining members of the brotherhood of man.
 On this afternoon at 2 o'clock there will be a meeting at Redmans hall,

Kidnapped when mere child, car ried way and for forty-four years kept in total ignorance of his own mother and her people, and grown gray in the long-conEinued search for his lost relatives, whom he has sought the country over in vain hope of looking into the faces of those who are nearest and dearest to him, is the story of J.

 MT. Porter has just written let ter to County Treasurer J. H. Shelby of this city giving the facts of his romantic career.
 His mother was a Miss Millie c. GEen baeore here marriage. She vas daughter of Rev John F. Oden, well known minister of the gospel. She was early married to John Por ter. and to this union one child was horr. boy, the man who has spent his life in seeking her.
 1t was another version of the old, cid story of domestic troubles, which finally eliminated in a separation. In 1861 the boy, whom the parents had named John R. Porter, was kidnapped, presumably by his father or some of his relatives. The lad, who was a mere child, was spirited away from his Mississippi home to South Caro- lima, where he was placed in charge of a strange fam ly and reared in to- tai ignorance of his mother and her relatives.
