Mr.. Paul A. Ewart, represent
tative of the attorney generallof
the United States, and whom
this paper has mentioned several
times as the gentleman who
bought the Bluejacket land at a
price far below its value, called
on as a few days ago and made
quite a visit. While here lie
took occasion to show us that he
had a perfect right to buy the
land. Well, perhaps he had, but
even If he had wasn't it mighty
bad policy for him to do it in the
face of the fact that he has been
raising merry sheol with some
fellows who have been buying
lands as cheaply as possible9
Wasn't it bad policy, we ask. for
Mr.. Ewart to come in here and
practice the very thing he is
preaching against? We think.
so, and told him so, and beforg
he left he told us that if he h.,
it to do over again he would not
do it, and further, that he would
not be guilty of it again. So
much for the open confession,
which is said to be so good for
the soul. He says he made a
mistake, but will not make any
more of that kind.
Now, while we are on the sub
ject. we would like 10 know who
makes the secret appraisement of
Indian lands which are to be
sold? Is he a man who knows
his business, or is he a figure
head, just doing as he is biddenS
Some light along this line would
be very gladly received.

David Warwick.

Those who failed to attend the
attraction at the opera house
last Thursday night, missed a
rare treat. David Warwick is a
star amons actors, and his sup.
port was frst-class, in fact,
those who attended we're sur
prised that such a good COM
pany would visit such a small
town. 1t looks as though all
FIRST class attractions that visit
Baxter meet with little encour-
agement, while a cheap-John
show will draw 3K's and a pair
of Q's at least. Now the
Country Kids" are billed for
tomorrow, friday night, and
it is said to be a fine attraction,
and it is believed the house will
be filed on that occasion.

There is sweet music in every
home where the heart strings
are touched by gentleness and
courtesy. The mild word. the
gentle answer, the tender act,
the patient considerateness, will
touch chords of kindness and
make sweet melody in the fami-
ly as everywhere. A desolate,
dreary place is a home devoid
of those little courtesies which
are practiced in the best social
life.

Twelve fire plugs in the BUSH
ness part of the city would save
and protect the greater part OF
the city's taxable property.
Twelve fire plugs would cost in
the neighborhOod of six hundred
dollars per year. To raise six
hundred dollars per year for this
very laudable purpose would cost
less than fifty cents on each
thousand dollars valuation. Are
you small enough to say we do

Blue blood arstocracy and money figure prominently in My Boy" Tim Murphy new vehicle, which was pre- scented at the Elks theatre last night. At the close of the theatrical season there are always a few plays, three or four, perhaps, seldom more than a half dozen, that stand out in memory with perfect clearness of detail while the rest, viewed retrospectiveIy, seem but a jumbled mass of mediocre of ferinss. When the final curtain of the present season falls, My Boy will be among the first Hamed smaller class within the minds of all who saw it last night.

 Mr. Cargill became commercially identified With Pine Bluff about twelve years ago At that time he was a per feet stranger to our people, but his ufacturins plants here for the tim- her recently bought by his company in this and Grant counties, brought hlm at once conspicuously before the community. While he did not make Pine Bluff his place of residence. members of his family did So and through them and his frequent visits here our people came to know him we'll. His business methods and his personal bearing and character soon won for him the unqualified respect Of all with whom he came in contact
 II can be said of few very rich men, as lt can be truthfully said of w. ". Car&lll, that in the midst of multiple business affairs, he never forgot to show justice and mercy to the most loWlX employe. The large number of men employed by his company, to a man, loved him and he loved them. He was loyal to them and they have been loyal 10 him. They had nothing but good to say of him. and we are sure theX will join his loved ones with sincere sympathy in honoring his pass ing, and will ever keep fragrant the memory of his virtues.
 Mr. Cargill had d peculiar faculty of impressin2 upon his various heads of departments something of his own per sonal characteristics Somehow his tone and methods became theirs, and the whole Sawyer and Austin company has homogeneous spirit, which has made if a blessing to this community. MT Cafsill was quiet, genial, energet- ic,. generous, honest. just and strong, and he has taught his men to be the same

 MT. Cargll was 65 years old He was a multi-millionaire and owned the Careill Coal company and the Car gill Elevator company at Lacrosse Tn the latter Mir Cargill made more mon- ey in one deal than the entire hold ings and plant of the Sawyer and Aus tin Lumber company cost.
