WILL AWAIT ACTION
 OF CITY COUNCIL
Board of Trade Will Take No Action Now Relative to New Wharf One Site Suitable.

The Pine Bluff Board of Trade dit not hold a meeting as was intended
 Yesterday afternoon, on account of tn;
 inability of a large number of the
 members to attend. President w. N
 Trulock was on jury, and severa
 other prominent members gave good
 reasons for their absence, so Secretary
 J. L. Caldwell postponed the meeting until later day this week.
 Secretary Caldwell this morning ex. pressed himself as being of the opiH- ion that the Board of Trade woul1 take no action on the matter of decid- ing where they would recommend the proposed boat landing to be construct. ed until the City Council decided about the paving of East Second avenue. which will probably be taken I'D at the meeting of the City Father Mon- day night. If it is decided to pave East Second avenue, it is possible for the landing which is now used to be fixed up and repaired by the city and the Arkansas River Packet Company, so that it would be more desirable than any which could be built at Chestnut street, the only other practicable place according to the decision of the com mittee recently appointed by the Board of Trade for the purpose of selecting a place to build the proposed wharf.

Does your back ache? Do you get up lame in the morning? Do you feel duh and tired? Does 1t hurt you to bend over, to life anything to get up from a chair? Do you have sudden "catches." or stitches, of pain in the back. Does a dull throbbing ache settle in the small of your back and bother you day and night? Do you sometimes feel that you simply cannot straighten up?
 If you have backache. be careful not to make the very common mistake of treating 1t as muscular trouble. Do not rub the sore place with lini- ment nor put on plasters, for the seat of the trouble Is insjde--in the kid neys, which lie just beneath the small of the back. on either side of the spine.
 A oold. a chill. fever. overwork. over eating or overdrinking may start slight congestion or inflammation in the kidneys that will at once inter rupt the kidneys work of Altering the blood. It Is this condition that sets up the aching, and makes your back so bad.
 You can not make any mistake by treating the kidneys at once, for it is these small troubles that lead to drcpsy, diabetes and Brights disease. If there is any doubt in your mind that the kidneys are affected, notice the urfne for few days. If passages are

 George Gray was born in Newcastle, Del, May 4, 1S40, and has resided there ever since. I suppose his was Presbyterian family. for he was sent to Princeton for an education. and was graduated in the class of 1859, when he was nineteen, receiving the degree of A. B., and three years later the de- gree of A. M He studied law in his fathers office. and then attended the famous law school of Harvard UniVer- sity. In 1863 he came to the bar. He was twice attorney general of the State, and ranged with the foremost lawyers of the North Atlantic Sea board. He was a delegate to the Dem- ocratic conventions of 1876, 1880, and 1884, in all of which ne strove for the nomination of Thomas Francis Bayard, the greate Democrat and
 the greatest statesman Delaware ever produced.
 When Bayard left the Senate to be Secretary of State in E1r. Cleveland's s nrSI CdDlnel, DeldWdre sent 1Fdy lO supply the vacancy in the Senate, and
 he ranked with the abiest and best
 men in that body during the entire fourteen years he was a member of it. In 1880 1t had not come in fashion to pull down great statesmen and put in l their stead hopeless mediocrities. And here just a little pendantry may not | be resented.
