Obituary.

IIOulo AliDllIcHb WAS UUIU vi Iut
10Th cay of April. 1885, at Res
worg, France. He came to
America in 1856. settling in
Batavia. N. Y. On Nov. 10th
1863 he was married to Gather inc
Hopple, who survives him. To
this union we're born eight child.
rem. seven of whom are living.
They are Mrs. Jesse Jordan, Mrs.
Will Pile. Mrs. Frank Hitchcock,
Mrs. Arch Rusco, and Miss Mel
lie NJ, of this city, Albert A. of
Cihllicothe, and John f. of
Colorado Spring Colo.
Nj. Zimmeht enlisted in the
rebellion by joining the 9Th New
York volunteer Calvalry, where
he gave faithful services for three
years and two months, and was
honorably discharged. He was a
member of the 6. A. R.. no was
not only proud of his army re-
lcOrd, but was a nan who lad
abundant reason to be proud of
the fact that he enlisted to serve
in the ranks of the volunteer
force of his adopted country.
He was converted and joined
the German Methodist church in
Batavia. New York. After
locating in Kansas he joined the
M. E. Church.
He came to this community il
1885, and since that time has
made his home in our midst. He
lacked just one day of being Y
years old. We have known Mr..
Zimmeht personally for about fl-
teen years, and always found him
a jolly, good naturea honest plain
spoken soul whose idea of right
and justice was placed on a high
plane and his efforts in this HE
were directed to reach that plane.
He was rather odd in some wa, S
and frequently would join issues
with his best friends but it would
be only temporarily. We priced
hi friendship very much and will
greatly miss his accustomed greet
ing. As he was one of those
who has done the best that it was
possible for him to do to make
this world better, we bow in grief
to the call of death. We extend
in conjunction with the many
friends of the estlmable family
our sincere sympathy.

. TWENTY YEARS OF MARRIED life

Our estimable member of the
council from t. e third ward. Mr..
Ben Giles, and his equally eSti-
mable wife, having completed
twenty years of team work, cele-
brated the event Saturday even
ing 10 an appropriate MANNER,
and in a way that was very much
appreciated by the manv guests.
An excellent six course dinner
was served. the guests being
seated at small tables. four to a
table. After the dinner the gen.
tlemen retired for quiet smoke,
while the ladies were dane
ing. Mr., and Mrs. Luse furn-
ishing the music. After this the
memory of the guests. rs we'll as
their habits of reading advertise
ments was tested, by requiring
them to name a particular line of
goods represented by an advertis-
ing cut taken from from the ad.
without any of the words with it.
Prizes we're given the best CUES
sers. Mrs. Lundblade winning
the ladies prize, and Mr.. FEEDER
the gentleman's prize. After this
a task was allotted to the gentle
men, to which but few were able
to, or had the nerve to respond. 1t
was to write a short description
of their wife's wedding dress.
Some of the boys did real we'll.
but the majority of them failed to
toe the mark. Another interest.
ing feature was, the young folks
) of the house fixing Mr.. and Mrs.
Giles up in wedding toys. and
escOrting them to the Darlor,
while Miss Alice played the we'd
ding march. Here they we're met
by the guests. and an ex-probate
judg went through a mock we'd
ding ceremony. Mrs. Giles
promised to attend conventions,
raise money to pay the taxes, pail
the cows, spade the garden. and
various other light duties, while
Ben agreed to herd the children,
wash the dishes, sweep the house.
make the beds. and other like
wise arduous duties. They then
again received the congratulations
of their friends, with the hope
that all might be back in their
hospitality twenty years hence.
TO say that all enjoyed the even
ing is expressing the plain truth.
The inVi7ed guests were, Mr..
and Mrs. W. E. Stoke, Mr.. and
Mrs. +. B. Newcombe, Mr.. and
Mrs. Willis Bolinger, Mr.. and

ASSET CURRENCY.

At recent meeting of the Ameri- can Association of Bankers a strong plea was made for the establishment ot asset currency to meet just such an emergency as has recently arisen. The arguments advanced for it seem to us sound, and we cannot but feel that If such a step were taken to provide more elastic currency the panic would become thing of the past Concerning this proposal the New York Times has this to say:
 'It is useful to remark how the pressure of events has compelled the banks to act in principle just as the American Association of Bankers haA asked statutory authority to act. Clear. ing house certificates are nothing more or less than asset currency. It is true it's circulation Is limited to the clearing house, but that is because there is a prohibitory tax upon bank note currency, and the only banknotes authorized by law are based upon bonds.
 "Each panic demonstrates afresh that credit transactions are really

YOU LAUGH
 EVERY MINUTE
Audiences of Big Circus COnyul>"d
 by Funny Clowns.

There is something to lau@h at ev- paugh and Sells Bros. great show, which appears in Pine Bluff on No yember 16.
 Never has such side-splitting com edy been introduced in circus per formance There are forty clowns in the jolly family and each one has his individual box of tricks, all of which are new. The clowning of other big circuses has been neglected for so long that it has almost become a lost art. The management of Forepaugh and Sells Bros circus, however, have brought from Europe this year a score of the funniest fellows that ever fro licked on the sawdust. Spurred on by thousand imported laugh-provok ing tricks, the American contingent has come to the front with new de- vices and schemes of their own, and the result is that audiences are con- stantly convulsed with laughter.
 In addition to the clowns, fun is introduced by a clever band of gro- tesque bar performers, goat riders and roller skaters The Donegans, the Corrallas and the Shrievers are among these latter, and they add largely in spreading the spirit of good humor.
 The Forepaugh and Sells Bros. cir GUS has grown to such an extent since last seen here that no other show can now compare with it. No other amusement enterprise ever cost the money that the management of this show has spent in the reconstruction
 of one single feature-the parade. It is all novelty. from the start to finish and the most ornate ever seen. Moreover one million dollars has been spent on the spectacle which opens the regular program, and the acts that follow are in keeping with pa rade and introductory feature. The performance abounds in new acts and many of the people who present them are making their first tour of America. This great circus employs 1,200 people and owns 300 horses, three herds of elephants and 100 cages of animals.

based mon goods. that liauidatior

based upon goods, that liquidation can never be forced in money, and that invariably some means is found to tide over the emergency by creating means of payment based on goods ani acceptable between debtors and cred itors. This is a principle apart from the keeping of reserves against bank deposits. Reserves are designed to assure redemption upon demand, en- abling actual payment in money when desired Asset currency is designed to facilitate exchange of goods for goods.
 "In the case of clearing house Ger tificates their quality is perfectly known to those who exchange them between themselves, and there is no case on record where they have not acted with entire satisfaction. Neither is there any reason in principle why an asset currency should not give similar satisfaction in general circu- lation. There is no mystery or diff culty about safeguarding the issue Of such notes. Several nations have done it in different ways, and we have, our selves, done it in times long past, un- der conditions more difficult than those which would surround the re- viyal of the system under federal reg ulation. This object lesson ought to strengthen the promoters of the plan in the approaching session of con- gress, when currency topics are sure to receive new impetus

Advertising Rates Made Known on

The Largest Bona Eide Circulation of any Pine Bluff Newspaper.
THE MORNING GRAPHIC.

Since the suspension of the Morning Printing Co., has been solicited to con- vert the Graphic into a morning daily. That there is not room in Pine Bluff for three newspapers is again demon- strated by the suspension of the Morning News, but that there is some demand for a morning paper in Pine Bluff cannot be denied. When the Daily Graphic was first started it was the intention of the management to make the Graphic a morning daily as soon as the city should be large per, as a morning paper is much more expensive than an afternoon publica- tion. Whether Pine Bluff has yet at tained sufficient white population to support morning paper with only one afternoon newspaper in the field has to be demonstrated. In order to thoroughly test this matter and re- leve the pressure of crowded after noon field, the Daily Graphic will on Sunday morning, January ), be con- verted into a morning newspaper.
 In the meantime, our canvassers will call upon merchants and the pub lic generally for both advertising and subscription contracts, and we hope to have enough business subscribed in this manner to cover the additional cost of the enterprise.
 The Graphic will therefore put the matter of morning newspaper up to he people. The Graphic is always ready to serve the public in the best manner possible, but the Graphic is not a philanthropic or eleemosynary institution. 1tfs a business enterprise organized and Incorporated under the flaws of Arkansas, and as such will conduct its affairs according to the patronage bestowed upon it.

TrsyeIinc Sand Hills.

On the coast of Pomerauia there arc large tracts of sand heaped up by lh wind, hundreds of yards in breadth and from 60 to 120 feet high, and these hills. propelled by the wind. move steadily in an easterly direction The speed at which these great bill travel is from thirty to fifty-siH feet a year. Pine woods, which some times come in their line of march, can not stop them and are completely de- stroyed. The branches are rotted off by the sand, and nothing is left of the trees but the bare stems, which after few years wither and die.
