The crowd In the city today was
a sumner for first Monday. In point
of numbers ii was almost equal TO
the crowds which thronged the
streets the last two business days be
fore Christmas. II exceeded any first
Monday crowd that has been seen
here In a long time. People were
here from almost every section OF
the county, and those from the
greatest distance came in yesterday
afternoon All the wagon yards were
crowded last night. A large number
of horse traders were on hand and
most of the stock offered for sale or
trade was In fairly good condition.
Several sales at good figures were
made.
As usual thing first Monday
crowds do not spend much with the
merchants, but trade in the stores
today has been quite satisfactory.
Tax Collector Spencer and Assist
ant Bratcher were probably the
busiest men in town today. Thls Is
the last month for the payment OF
taxes and many people came to
town today especially to settle with
the county. The collections today
will amount to several thousand dol
lars.

 Witnessed by Large
 Crowd.

In poor exhibition the Hendrix Academy baseball team of Conway Won the first game from the Pine Bluff High School yesterday afteF- noon at Forest Park. The score was 10 to I. The heavy hitting of the academy boys at opportune times was the main cause of the defeat of the locals. This was the second game of the High School boys at home and a large crowd turned out and encouraged them. The features of the game were the batting of l.. Dwyer and Winfield and the catching and stick work Of Jones. The base running of Sparks was also noticeable. He purloined five bags during the game, Both teams fielded badly, the errors being costly.
