It's Of Pine Bluff.
AS a business man and property
owner both in and out OF the city, de-
sire, if You will allow SPACE, to eX-
press my views IN regard to said eX-
tension, and that is this: The city al
ready has more territory than it can
properly care for, and at the present
rate of improvements on the streets
it viii take fifty years in the present
territory as they should be. In the
second place. not less than two-thirds

the city and in a few years this terri
tory will be thick]y populated if at
present it is left unmolested This
proposition is an absurd one and can
only be prompted by graft II is
neither honest nor just. Why do |
say so? Because these people have
not asked for annexation. We have
had no war with the city nor the city
with us.
Now, dear Editor, treat this PROPOSE
ton honestly and justly without NAL
ice. Go into it and investigate ii
thoroughly. and if you decide with me,
fight against this proposition; but
would advise, before starting out on
an investigation, that you take with
you a pair Of gum boots, briar hook
and a canoe, as you will need all of
them before getting around.
Respectfully,

There seems to be no free disposition
to follow the bull move in near posi-

this manipulation appear determined

knows that cotton is not being bulled
on its merits, but to squeeze shorts
and that as soon as news would come
from New York that people want to
liquidate or that settlement has been
arrived at, there would be a scramble
to get out with nobody to take the
contracts. Tentative scalping to catch
the whim in New York forms the bulk
of trading. This accounts for the ir-
reguality in the fluctuations, one trade
