GET THE CONVENTION.

The local members of the Arkansaw Travelers and the business men of this city will make a big effort to secure the 1909 meeting of the Tray elers for Pine Bluff at the next meet ing of that organization to be held in Fort Smith in June. This is the pro- per spirit and every assistance should be given by local business men to that end What Pine Bluff needs is more conventions. With one eXcep tion-printer' ink-conventions are the greatest advertising mediums and this is one thing that Pine Bluff has been slow about.
 During the warm summer months and environment for meetings and conversations, and many persons would enjoy a visit of one, two or three days in this. the queen city of AT kansas Pine Bluff is reached by rail in every direction and ample accom- modations could be secured here for all who would come, Certainly no more delightful convention city can be found in the state; where he air is so delightfully pure and hea1thful. Pine Bluff itself is a great big park in the summer time, the streets being lined with shade trees and spots for recreation are on every side within it's lines There are many delightful places to furnish entertainment here and fine river excursion could easily be one of the features for the visitors. Pine Bluff is famed for it's hospitality and should the "Grummers' come this way they will not want for entertain ment.
 The retail merchants especially should lend their assistance to this movement 10 secure the convention in 1909. Fully TWO thousand travelling salesmen, business men and their wives and children attend these meet ings annually. Each of them would spend in the low estimate of s, which would mean an expenditure of S10,000 d udy NuIIlIS tHt tllltt NaES tldt lIle convention is on This does not in clude the value of the meeting from an advertising standpoint which would be of great assistance to this city in it's present progress. The wholesalers and the travelling men have already manifested great in terest in the proposition and the re- tailers of the city are especially ;n- eited to be present at the regular weekly meeting of the Travellers to be held at the Jefferson hotel Saturday night, They are urged to attend and take an active interest in the move ment which is bound to secure the Dig meeting for Pine Bluff one year hence

on account of our Junior Senator and his recent affair with Judge Helm We reproduce from the New York Trib- une who finds in him second Fal- staff:
 Senator Jeff Davis seems to be in danger of tryins the Arkansas sense of humor too severely, for if Arkan- yaS is anything like the rest of the earth it will be ready to forgive is hero anything except making himseli a laughing stock. The Hon. Jeff has been knocked down i'll the streets of Little Rock and has fled i'll unheroic haste, with the enemy in hot pursuit and in possession of the famous gold headed cane, which in his ofatory he
 is always bOastng that he uses upon the heads of his foes. \ few moments later he was caught i'll the street hourishing a big pistol, was arrested by the constable and ended ignOml- nously by being fined in the police court. To a man of the Senator's tru- culent manner not to have landed q blow. to have been seen by his con stituents running like a scared rabbit 1 from bare fists and to have concluded 1 the inglOriOuS affair in vulgar court room will prove most damaging. h. deed, The Memphis Commercial Ap- 1 peal is abundantly justified in it's pre- idctOn of a few days ago that Jeff was about due to execute the grand skid dOO,' for, said our contemporary, ven geance leans eager from the skies and retribution paws the earth.
 "Jeff's constituents seem to have
 had premontion of what was con- ! ing, for he emerged from the recent campaign down in Arkansas with no more credit than from the affair ill i the Little Rock streets. The Jeff can- didate for Governor was handily beat en at the primaries, running poor second with another anti-.]eff candl- date close up. SOmethinS less than a
 third of Arkansas was with him. To
 that third the Arkansas Falstaff ls- sues an explanation of his encounter. He was the victim of 'cowardly, un- i provoked effort at aSsas ssination. He
 was struck over the head with a loaded bat The bunch of boodlefs and grafters may yet assassinate him.
 As his prototype said of famous en- counter, I have 'scaped by miracle.
 am eight times thrust through the doublet; four through the hose; my bucker cut through and through : my sword hacked like a handsaw-ecce signum!'
 Not since certain leading Arkan-
 san threatened to drive Jeff Davis | into the Arkansas river with light
 ming bug on the end of a corn-cob has
 anything so serious happened. Ar-
 kansas may begin 10 wonder whether man who could mistake a lightning bug on the end of a corn-cob for 2 dangerous weapon might not mistake
 a bare fist for a loaded bat. -
