GREATER PINE BLUFF.

Pine Bluff is on the road to great CT development.
 The railroads are coming and the entire city is agog with excitement that naturally results from assur- rances of more business and better times.
 The petty iealousies and factonal- ism have been eliminated and every body is putting their shoulders to the wheel for progress and development.
 Pine Bluff promises to be city of fifty thousand energetic. wide-awake elapse, and nothing can stop the re- markable strides that are in store for this, the best city in Arkansas.
 Notwithstanding the hnrtful panic of 1908. the several destructive con- flagrations. the gluttonous Arkansas river and other sethacks that have been recorded in this city the past several years. Pine Bluff has been steadily moving forward until it has at last reached point where no other city or set of selfish men of influence can head it off
 It's boundary lines have been ex- panding with amazing rapidity. Hous- es are being built on every side and in the downtown districts modern stores and office huildin@s are taking the place of small brick structures. which have served their usefulness. The new S75.000 postoffice and fed eral building will soon he ready for establishment of United States dis trict court here. Hundreds of blocks of concrete sidewalks have beer built in the past six months and nc less than five new paving and curl districts have been created. The citl presents an air of busy activity anl there are evidences of growth ant progress on every side
 Conservatively stated, the past si months have been a most momentou | sem-annual period We may nc fully realize it. but the future munic ipal historian and economist will pn his finger on the half dozen month and say that in that time Pine Bmi threw off the swaddling clothes of a overgrown village, and declared il self man estate.
 The reorganization of what has bee done by public and private enterprS in the past year at least, might | tedious in detail, but the end sou@} justifies the recording of the fact tn, greater changes have taken place an have been inaugurated in the yes gone by than ill any ten years of Pir Bluff history Take drive, or be ter. a walk. over Pine Bluff toda and what do you see? Modern side walks, instead of the foot-rackin flagstones of the past: brick-pave streets, instead of the mud and du! of the past hundreds of new home from the $500 cottage of the wage earner to the s2o,oO0 mansion of th merchant, manufacturer and capita list.

Hood for Street Sweeper.

X petition from the property own CTS requesting the city council to abate the street sweeping nuisance or have the streets sprinkled before the sweeper is operated, was presented. The matter was discussed, many of the aldermen agreeing that it was a great nuisance to sweep dust into homes and stores, but they took no definite action on the matter other than to instruct the city engineer to have a hood installed on the sweep CT to prevent the dust from spreading.

HANSHUE AND APPERS0N
ARRIVE AT REDLANDS

REDLANDS, July 29.-Harris Han
shue, driver of the Apperson Jackrabbit
in the Santa Monica road race and
winner of the contest, returned to Red
lands with his car today, following a
hunting trip in the Beaumont section,
accompanied by Mrs. Hanshue. The
car attracted considerable attention,
especially in a run over the Mile High
Hill Climb course, from Redlands to
Oak Glen, which it went over in 2s
minutes In view of the fact that two
stops were made and that the road for
five miles in the Yucaipa valley has
recentlv been ploughed up and oiled
until it is in a soft condition, the
record is considered excellent.
Hanshue was entered in the Mile
High races in April, driving the Kissel-
kar, but it skidded in the turn on
Orange and Citrus avenues and
wrecked on the curb, so that he could
not complete the race. For that reason
he decided to run over the course with
the new racer and take a whack at the
record made by the Stoddard-Dayton
but the condition of the course will
not permit record run.
One of his stops was due to Yucaipa
bumblebee that, coupled with the steer
ing, gave the driver all he wanted for
short time. The bee flew in his coat
sleeve and stung him on the arm,
necessitating the stopping of the ma
chine to have the stinger pulled out.

tic who have been harping on
- this Jeffries matter. 'Tis now

felt by the big fellow all this talk of
Jeff will never fight Johnson" has
ceased as suddenly as it found its rise.
The champions detraCtors now have
retired to the deep, dark, gloomy un-
derbrush. 1t is noticed that those who
were acquainted with the situation
the sporting writers of the east, who
for geographical reasons are more
closely in touch with the retired and
undefeated heavyweight champion
have held back in this matter. There
has been no disposition to criticise JEFF
fries. Rather has there been evinced
a desire to await a final movement on
the part of the champion of them all.
jeff huge in bulk, is as slow a thinker
as he ordinarily is slow in movement.
He takes time to consider, to weigh
and ponder carefully every action. For
instance, the promoters of the JEFF
fries club were kept waiting three
weeks before Jim finally decided to go
into the venture.
That the cash is up Is the best proof
that Jeff is sincere in his repeated
statement that he will fight Johnson.
1t proves his belief in his ability to get
back into something mighty near his
old time condition. else he would never
again don the gloves. Also it has si-
fenced effectually and, let us hope, for
all time the carping comment on the
action of Jeff in taking plenty Of time
to settle the matter to his satisfaction.
Anent the above a story published in
a Boston paper. signed by Eddie Kee-

interest and places him almost in the
light of prophet:

they took a rest. If they don't stop
their foolish chatter now for a while
they will only be showing how solid
the ivory is in their craniums. Jeff's
theatrical contract terminates today.
He will now become a free man to talk
or do what he likes.
AS he has never been accused of try
ing to appropriate any of William Jen-
nings Bryans laurels as a tal1er the
chances are that he will proceed to dc
something more substantial instead.
In my opinion, Jim Jeffries has been
thoroughly sincere regarding the ques-
tion of his physical condition ever since
the first day he started out to fill his
contract with Mr.. Morris some weeks
ago.
