 S USHERED IN
Great Crowds of Merf\ Makers Thronged Downtown Streets Last Nighttnd The Celebration Was Rowling success-a Business Enjoyed by Mer- ohants-Evden'e of \ae Return of Prosperity Arrests Made.

Christmas-the same old Merry Christmas that comes once year with it's Santa Claus, it's happy re- membranes, holly and mistletoe, it's friendly greetings and it's many other joys and customs, was ushered in last night in noisy fashion. The general sentiment, the big business enjoyed by the merchants the past week and the appearance of full dinner pails' and filled pocketbooks were evidences of the fact that the panic of last sea son had gone for good and that pros perity had returned.
 Pine Bluff is certainly enjoying Christmas this year to the fullest. The stores did a tremendous business the past week and yesterday and last night is said to have been a record breaker. Postmaster Furth is au- t1aority for the statement that the out going business at the local Postofice was the largest in the history Of the city. The attaches of the Pacific Ex- press Company also report many shipments and the railroads were un- able to accommodate the traffic into >P line Bluff during the week.
 \The crowds that thronged the down. town streets till midnight last night were noisy but orderly. Few arrests were made by the police and those who were taken in were persons who bad ''too much Christmas" in fact more Christmas than they could carry, and it remained for the police to carry it for them.

SECRETARY WRIGHT
 CANNOT COME HERE
Will De Compelled tO Return to Wash- fngtOn Early Next Week to At. tend White House Reception Local Plans Shattered.

Secretary of War Luke k. Wright, who is now on a visit to Memphis, has changed his plans an dwill re- turn to Washington early next week. It was his original intention to re- main in Memphis until after the New Year and plans were being outlined by Pine Bluff friends and the mem bers of the Board of Trade to invite him to visit this city for one day at least during his stay South. But these plans have been shattered by the late announcement of Secretary Wright that he will be compelled to return to Washington early next week to be present at the reception to be rendered the members of the Cabinet and others by President and Mrs. Roosevelt on New Years day.
 The Memphis Commercial Appeal says:
 Secretary of War Luke B. Wright, accompanied by Mrs. Wright, arrived in Memphis yesterday morning. They will spend a few days at the family residence, 688 Jefferson avenue.
 Secretary and Mrs. Wright were met at the depot by their daughter in-law, Mrs. E. E. Wright.
 In the morning Secretary Wright was at his office in the Memphis Trust building, and there he was visited by a great many of his old friends. who congratulated him upon the evidence he gave of being in good health.
 hater on Secretary Wright was at the Tennessee Club, where he also met many old friends.
 This being entirely a personal visit. Secretary Wright asked to be excused from discussing any business of a political or governmental nature. He will remain in Memphis until after Christmas, returning to Washington in time to take part in the public re- ception given by the president at the White House on New Years Day.
 A number of Secretary Wright's friends, feeling that this was his first visit to his home city since becoming secretary of war. had in their mind giving reception and banquet in his honor.
 Owing to the fact that Gen. Wright will be compelled to leave the city in few days and that some personal business matters require much of his brief time while he is here, the plan was reluctantly abandoned.
 It Is hoped by his friends that in tAe event President-elect Taft visita MSmphis Secretary Wright can be prevailed upon to come to Memphis at that time.
