IT IS FINISHED.

'Tis past the hour of midnight land silence now is breeding like {, gentle spirit OCT still and pulse less world" The last form is waiting for this article ill order to be "clos- cd" the press is ready to be started on it's long run, and in few hours the GRAPHtC'S Christmas edition for the year 1906 will be an accom- plished reality. We present this edi- tiou to our readers with no apology, but we confess with something of a pride, which we trust is pardOnable However, in justice to the GRAPHIC'S s management and it's employees, we desire to say that this edition is not as perfect as we intended to make h. due to yexatious but unavoidable delays, and also some disappoint- ments on the part of local citizens who promised articles, but were pre- vented from preparing same by sick. ness, absence or other cause. In fact, there has never been 8 GRAPH
 C issued as good as we wanted to make. it. AS long as human brains and hands are imperfect, as long as machinery at times will persist In be- tng contrary and refuse to perform Its proper function. so long shall we have on imperfect newspaper
 In this life we listen with crcdulity % the whisperings of fancy, pursue with eagerness the phantoms of hope and expect the deficiencies of the day to be supplied by the morrow, only to have disappointment broken to the hope and to the heart in the end We conceive in the illusiye fancies Of the brain an ideal, and seek and strive to attain it, but find that as We ap- proach it. like the mirage Of the des- ert. the ideal evanesces. and is ever just bepond--a thing seen. bu. never reached or realized.
 However, with this issue the GRAPHIC fulfills it's promise of giving the people of Pine Bluff the BEST if not the biggest newspaper ever issued in this section. In production of this issue we have sought to make QUAIL ITY the standard, and have not sacri- feed good white paper and boiler plate" for the mere sake of bulkiness This issue of the GRAPHIC is botll a newspaper and magazine, and We submit that 1t will take rauk as Christmas number with anything oa this market, magazine or newspaper. printed here or elsewhere
 The GRAPHIC in it's announcement stated that we would give the people of Pine Bluff Christmas paper O which they could be proud, and as
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1906-12-16

We review the work, so hastily done. We believe that the pledge has been made good
 When 1t is remembered hat the GRAPHIC issues eight papers a week, six dailies and two semi-weeklies, and that this big edition of sixty.eight pages is the work of our regular force, and that the edition had to be printed in sections of eight pages each, then something Of the herculean efforts involved in producing con- plete today's Christmas paper can be realized and appreciated by the gen. eral public.
 We cordially thank our loca! con- trlbutors for their interesting and valuable articles. and the merchants and business men generally for the liberal patronage that has been ac- corded this edition, which could have been made even larger but fer the impossibility of our solicitors to call on all, and other causes unavoidable, but not necessary here, to mention.
 But there is no lack of good read ing matter in these pages, and for seasonable and helpful Christmas suggestions for holiday buyers. there is plenty.
 The GRAPHIC bids the pubic to read, revel and feast upon it's pages in their enjoyment We find our satis- faction-and to one and all we wish a very Merry and Happy Christmas.

IMPORTANT r ARREST
Walter Christopher, Alias John Jones, Be- lieved To Be Leader of Gang of Box Car Robbers, Falls in meshes of the Local Detectives-.-Anested in Memphis.

What is regarded by the local DO
 lice as being one of the most import
 ant arrests made in a long while, was effected in Memphis two days ago,
 when the Memphis police department
 succeeded, by following up the initia- tive of the local officers, in rounding up Walter Christopher. alias John
 Jones. wanted in this city for the all
 legged crime of robbing railway box
 cars of their contents. Christopher , IS believed by the police to be the leader of the gang that has been op- erating in this section so long, and 1 which has given the officers so much ; trouble for more than a year past Two other alleged members of the gang, the Woodwards, father and son, arc already incarcerated in the lief ferson county Jail awaiting their trials on the charges preferred agains. them
 Christopher is only 22 years of age, but the police say he Is one of the smoothest guys that ever came over the pike. He is said to have served two terms in the Tennessee state pen itentiary, and his capture has been sought for many months. : Christopher's arrest in Memphis is due, primarily. to two Pine Bluff of fcers-and two of the best detectives in the United States, by the way. They 1 are Special Agent Ed Cheek of the : Cotton Belt railway, formerly city de- ! tective and assistant chief of police of , Pine Bluff, and Constable J, Frank Stewart of Vaugine township residing in this city. These two gentlemen have been most persistent in their ef- | forts to locate their man, and neith- er time. trouble nor expense, have been spared In doing so. Pictures and descriptions of the man wanted H were forwarded to every important city In the country, with the result hat. after many weeks effort, he was coated in Memphis. The police of hat city were requested 10 arrest Jim. which they did. and Chief of Po- ice A. ]. Stewart and Special Agent ,heek went after their man. returning rith him Saturday afternoon. He is low inoarcerated in the jail here.
 An Organized Band.
 The police theory is that there has 'een an organized band of box car obbers operating in this section for many months past. Box car rob 'eries finally became so frequent ere that 1t became subject of con- non comment and complaint among he business men. Pine BluR seemed o be headquarters for the gang. Rail- oad detectives tried time and AgaA Q Tnn sSs saag down, The ,osA, of-

hcerS gave every assistance possible.
 It seemed that the gang was too
 smooth for all of them. Then Assist ant Chief of Police Ed Cheek accepted
 a position with the Cotton Belt as
 special agent, and enlisted the CO., operation of Constable Frank Stewart -one of the best detectives in the whole country. With additional aid of Pine Bluffs popular and efficient chief of police. MT. A. J. Stewart, the efforts to run down the gang began to bear fruit The Woodwards were arrested in a houseboat several miles below the city. The boat contained a large quantity of goods which the officers allege had been taken from railway box cars. Then followed the arrest, two days ago, of Christopher in Memphis.
 The police now believe they have the situation well in hand.

To Wed Hero Who Rescued Her.

Two years ago Mr.. Fr-nk G. Sher-
wood, of Omaha, Nebraska, saved
Miss Maud Summers, of East Saint
Louis, from being trampled to death
by q herd of stampeding cattle. With
a party of friends she was visiting the
stockvards. The drove of cattle broke
down the gate of their pen and SIAM
peded. Miss Summers was slightly in
advance Of the rest Of the party. She
saw the cattle rushing towards her
and was too frightened to try TO get
out of the way. Mr.. Sherwood, who
is a sheep buyer for a large packing
plant, was riding through the yords
at the time. He sprang from his
horse, swung a gate across the run
way and ran TO the assistance of the
young lady. The cattle broke through
the gate but had been checked long
enough for the heroic young man to
assist her TO a place of safety on the
top of the fence.
Mr.. Sherwood and Miss Summers
were afterwards formally introduced
and saw great deal of each other
and now they are TO be married in
June.
The heroine of this romantic excit-
ing episode. Miss Maude Summers. is
the daughter Of Mr.. r. n. Summers,
of this city.
Mr.. Summers is employed at the
Ocala Ice & Fuel company and his
friends here will read the above an

robe the spiritual body with raiment

the birds of Paradise jewels from the

might walk through the brilliant bouI-

in the fashion Of Heaven; in vogue
with the habit of Angels. Like the

clothed more richly than Solomon, so
