 Chicago's Generosity. Dr. Caldwell, last night, after well coming tho visitors in a most happy manner, related an incident which ouly goes to show the willingness and
 ability of Chicago to render aid and assistance to her friends in the South.
 In speaking of the recent financial de-
 precision Of one year ago. he told Of ! the unsuccessful efforts of a local concern to secure money from both i,St Louis and New York. and then quoted q letter from one of the Chi
 cago banks to Pine Bluff, as follows: Dear Sirs: In reply to your letter of the Sd instant, l wish 70 say tha.
 we shall be very glad indeed to ship
 you whatever currency you need. Hop ing you are all prosperous and with kindest regards, etc. That" said l Dr. Caldwell was after we had call i ed upon New York for money which we had on deposit there. and St. Louis ! would only send us New York eX- change. Chicago sent us money, and sent us money not once, but every time We called for money"
 We Are No Buffers.
 k. c. Jacobson. chairman of tine delegation, was then introduced, and after briefly expressing his gratifica- (tion at the reception accorded them, said: When I came into your city today with the other members of the delegatitn l was very much puzzled to know why you called it Pine Bluff As l walked through your streets and saw the many evidences Of prosper |ity l could not see where the word Bluff came in, because your city, to our mind, gentlemen. is the real thing" Speaking further, he said. We are a delegation from the Chicago
 Association of Commerce on u trip through the Mississippi valley for the purpose of encouraging closer busi- ness relations as we'll as q feeling of friendliness and intimacy with her cit izens. We want the people in tae South to know that we are ready with our resources at all times to do what we can towards rendering any bene- fit to our Southern neighbors, and we extend a cordial invitation to come to Chicago and know her people, Mir. Jacobson's remarks were brief but he was literally applauded.
 What We Have Here.
 Capt. R. M. Galbreath then told the guests of the many opportunities af- forded in Pine Bluff, and mentioned the immense amount of timber through this section, and of it's use in building cars and railroad equlp- ment. He was followed by w. Jay Cooke. of the McGuire-Cummins Man ufacturing Compans< a member of the delegation and himself vice-president of an enormous car building plant iE Chicago, who said: "I did not come down here at present to sell cars, 'laQmn[ 10 4unoue aeeIS esn oM lnQ of course, and want to buy only tho best. This I think can be found in the South, and think that in the fu- ture a great business in this line can be worked up, and that we will be buyers as we'll as sellers to Pine Bluff"

The greatness of Chicago today, though it rests upon material founda- tions. is to be found in It's social. artistic, musical and intellectual pow CT. Within less than a generation we have passed beyond the period of ex- clusively material greatness to time of art institutes, libraries, social set dement's, universities, municipal play rounds and public parks.

are inexpensive and can be home

Now take the piece of siding in the
