 Manager Reeves and President Nix. on think that they have the rest of the teams in the league beaten when 1t comes to twirlers. With Taylor. Kenney and McAdams as slab ar lists they will land the pennant as did the Pine Bluff team of 1904. Man ager Reeves did not take all the team to Prescott, neither Frank Fay Tor nor Baldwin going with them. They only carried those whom they thought needed practice. As the two best pitchers have not yet reported the team cannot be judged by the series at Prescott.
 A colored orchestra will give an open air concert from to 4 Thurs day afternoon. while the teams are warming up. No doubt large crowd will be out to root the Pine Blun team on to victory the first three days, as well begun is half done

 FRIENDS TUESDAY.
Elegant New Quarters Of Firm Thrown Open to Public With
 Pompous Ceremony.

The opening of Seawell and An crum's drug store to the public Of Pine Bluff Tuesday afternoon was one of the most successful ever seen in Pine Bluff These openings of the Pine Bluff druggists are some thing new and the city of Pine Bluff can already justly be proud of her beautiful drug stores Especially beautiful was the store of Seawell and Ancrum on their opening day Tuesday.
 The store ill the first place was as pretty as the architect could possibly make it. The spotless white wood work, in combination with the beau tiful pane' ceiling and tile floor all 20 together to make it one of the most elegant drug stores in the city. Then, too, these more substantial dec orations. palms. cape jessamines. white roses. beautiful magnolias. ferns and cut roses of all kinds, used in profusion, added greatly 10 the charm of the occasion.
 The doors were thrown open at noon and immense crowds of pretty ladies and girls filled the lovely store. The cozy ice cream parlor could not nearly accommodate the large crowds. but the owners. foreseeing the rush, had placed beautiful tables and chairs all over the floor among the palms and potted plants.
 Delicious ice cream of three fiavors. vanilla strawberry and chocolate, to- gether with all the latest soft drinks, were served to the ladies free. Nor did the prudent owners overlook their male friends, but gentlemen were in- vited and given fine, clear Havana cigars as their treat. Handsome souvenirs of perfume. face powder. sachet powder. fans, tooth paste and thermometers were given to the la dies and gentlemen throughout the evening.
 The polite and courteous attention of the hosts and all of their gentle manly employees added to the cheer and they received the compliments of nearly all present.

THE CONTEST STILL OTHERS ENTER THE FIELD FOR THE GRAPHIC'S
 $4OO PIANO. Misunderstanding of Conditions Prev. aIent Among Some-Hustlina for Subscribers Way to Win.

The Graphic's great Kimball piano contest is growing in interest every day. Several new contestants have entered the race since last Sunday and some of them stand good chance to catch up with those who were first tc enter the race
 A great many people have misun- derstood this contest from the very start 4 large number think that the only way to secure votes is to clip the votes from the Daily and Semi Weekly Graphic. This is entirely wrong, as one thousand votes will be given to every person who brings in a new subscription, paid one year in advance. For new subscription, paid one month in advance, sixty-five votes will be given, and so on at the rate of one cent a vote.
 While clipping votes from the Graphic counts something, the person who wins the $40O Kimball piano, the $100 due bill on another one, or the $50 due bill on third, Is the person who gets out and secures new subscriptions, because there are so many more votes to be secured in this way This is the way in which those that now are at the top of the ladder secured their lead. It takes only few hours work, and think of the prizes, amounting in all to $5S0. If a lady should win the $400 piano by d few hours work, while you have not even tried, would you not then wish that you had entered the race? Nearly everyone, who is not already a subscriber of the Daily Graphic, would be glad to give you his or her subscription,
