From One End Of the Store to

Every stock emphasizes the argument, every
advertised item illustrates it. The logic of the
whole business is, the Winter is waning, and
whatever we have in merchandise of a season
able nature, is being offered to you minus its
profit and in many cases less than its cost. With
these facts confronting you, it would seem the
very wisdom of economy to embrace the oppor-

THE PINE BLUFF BAR AND THE
GARLAND FUND.

In calling the attention of the Pine
Bluff bar to the Garland Monument
Fund Judge A. B. Grace of the JET
ferson Circuit Court reminded the
lawyers that the body OF this great
Arkansan now lies in an unmarked
grave in Little Rock, and said that il
any man deserved to be memorialized
perpetually that man was the great
Garland.
There are special reasons for the
bar of Arkansas taking an interest
in this matter Not only was Garland
a lawyer who adorned his profession
but he did great service to the law
yers of the whole South. Maj. n. T..
White, who responded to the remarks
of Judge Grace, in referring to the
case of Garland eX parte, which Gar
land had taken to the United States
Supreme Court, in order to gain the
privilege OF practicins in the courts
for Southern lawyers who had been
disqualified by throwing their for
tunes in with the Confederacy, said
that Garland, at his own expense and
without a fee. had gone into the Su-
preme Court at Washington and had
been sustained. Mai White said every
lawyer in the South was indebted to
Garland.
Other members Of the Pine Bluff
bar spoke, and Judge Grace appointed
a committee to receive subscriptions
for the Garland Monument Fund
Little Rock Gazette.

Fashions i'm Horses Tails.

Horses tails have been subjected to
curious changes of fashion. In the
time Of the Stuarts the English coach
horses tail was worn long and flowing,
and was cut square, like King Charles
charger at Charing Cross. English
Country Life says that it was adorned
with ribbons on gala days, and strap
ped up in a leather case in winter
weather; thus a certain harmony was
preserved between the wig Of the mas
ter and the tails of his horses.
By the time of George II. a short
wig and a pigtail had taken the place
Of the flowing curls in which the cava
liers of Charles I. and the rakes Of
Charles Ills court delighted
The brilliant idea occurred to Lord
Cadogan, cavalry officer Of that Pc
riod, to reduce the tails Of his dragon
horses to a short dock. Possibly this
was with the view of saving his sol
diers the trouble of cleaning those long
tails, and avoiding the nuisance of the
splashes uniforms and accouterments
must have received from such hair
streamers.
Or it may be that the debased taste
of the age made him think the appear
ance of his regiment was really i'm
proved by bobbed tails. That is
question which history does not de-
eide
The next step was to turn bobtails
into plugtails, by cutting all the hair
for the last two or three inches Of the
dock. Having thus succeeded in dis
figuring the hind quarters of dragon
horses, some monster devised the addi-
tional barbarity of cropping their ears
