TWO years ago Julia Gray
 ! and the Criterion play CTS toured the principal cit ies of the South in MT. Carter's remarkable piece of of'stage-craft, HER ONLY SIN." The actors and the play were universally re- ceived with satisfaction and enthusiasm by the theatre going public with serious and kindly commentaries by the dramatic critics. This verdict of the South has been re-registered in every other portion of the country visited by Miss Gray and her associates, who now re- turn for their farewell per- formances in this play to the scenes of their original triumphs.

Beware of Ointments for Cataarrh that
 Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and complete ly derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, man. ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Go. Testimonials free.
 Sold by Druggists. Price, 75c. per bottle.

Newport is to be given a hard knock under the new Iron Noun tain schedule effective Feb. 1. While the Independent was growing over a faster mail ser vice from St. Louis, the writer was not aware that to cut the time, a stop at Newport was to be eliminated.

THE CITY PARK.

The proposition looking to the es- tablishment of city park is a good one, and the Graphic hopes sincerely to see the measure carried through to a successful consummation. It is seldom indeed that city the size of Pine Bluff can be found in this south land of ours, the land of flowers and birds and pretty women, without a public park owned and maintained by the city. Many of them have two or three such resorts. Yet 1t Is a fact that Pine Bluff has not one.
 The advantages of such a place need net be enumerated; everyone knows them as we'll as the Graphic's 8 editor. and need not be told of the uses to which city park could be put. Suffice it to say here that we need the park, as everyone knows, and the Graphic for one purposes to ben6 every effort toward securing sGnc.

Over fhe State

Texarkana-Severa garnishments fled on the Arkansas side of TeNar- lana against railroad employees on the Texas side have created quite commotion in railroad circles in that community. Under the Texas constl- tution and laws all iaborers' wages in that state are exempt from garnIsh- r.ent. but it seems that certain local parties who were unable to collect debts due from railroad employees thought 10 evade the Texas reSula- lions by bringing 9arnishment suits against the parties in the confts on the Arkansas side. Several of these employees, however, employed Lawyer i.ockett and he has sued out inlunc- ti3ns before Judge Turner of the dis trict court and Judge Snelser of the cos.nty court restraining the plain tiffs from prosecuting the suits as tl- ed ill the Arkansas courts, This move ef the employees is one that has put sn entirely new phase on the mat ter and has caused something of a furry in }oca. railroad and court cir cles
