TRIBUTE TO
 M. F., O'NEAL

O'NEAL-M. F. ONeal was born in Chester county, Tennessee, in 1S61 He departed this life after a long and painful illness May 26, 1907 at his home in Humphrey, Ark. His suffer- ings were long and at times most in- tense, but he bore it all patiently, not a word of murmuring ever escaped his lips. Truly good man has gone. MT. O'Neal was one of those quiet, un- assuming characters whose good quail ities were known to all knew him, but best known to those of his intimate associates. He was not very demon strative, yet every one who had the pleasure of knowing him can testify to his firmness and devotion to friends and his love for his wife and chill dren was touchingly beautiful. His dealings with all classes were in ac- cordance with the principles of hon. esty which with him seemed almost a second nature. His was an active life. His hands were never idle. He considered employment a part of his Christian duty. While MT. O;Neal al ways had the highest veneration, yet he never attached himself to any church. When the summons came he fell asleep as calmly and sweetly as an infant upon it's mothers breast, with no cloud to obscure the dawn of heavenly day. After services at the home conducted by the writer and at the grave by Reverend o. H. Keadle his body was laid to rest to await the great resurrection morning.
 E. J. SLAUGHTER, Pastor.

PINE BLUFF
 TO LITTLE ROCK
Capital City Paper Discusses the Big Results That Would Come From an Interurban Line Between
 This City and the Capital.

We don't know how much solid foundation there is for the talk that an interurban may be built either from Pine Bluff direct to Little Rock or from Pine Bluff to connect with the proposed interurban between Little Rock and Hot Springs. Granting that the Little RockHot Springs line will be built, a connection with Pine Bluff would be a great advantage to all three cities, says the Little Rock Ga zette.
 The day of interurbans must come in Arkansas. Who knows but that we are now about to see it's sun rise? The interurban electric line is a local transportation and... development agency with which neither steam nor anything else can compete. Such lines are in operation or are being projected all over the United States.
 If contiguous cities in Kentucky and Texas are connected by interurbans, why should not contiguous cities in Arkansas be connected in the same way? Little Rock, Hot Springs and Pine Bluff are near together, and are all growing and prospering.. To the permanent population of these three cities must be added the large tran. sient population of Hot Springs, which would be all the greater after securing interurban facilities.
 We do not believe prophet is re- quired to foresee that Little Rock, Hot Springs and Pine Bluff will one day 5e connected by interurban elec- tric lines. But start must be made, and Little Rock, as the biggest of this trinity of cities, should take the lead by putting through the present project for a line to Hot Springs. Other lines will follow in the natural course of industrial development.
