PINE BLUFF FIRM
 GETS BIG CONTRACT
Something of Mamoth Work. Mention of Which Was Made in the Graphic Several Days Ago.

Thirty miles of levee will be con structed along the north bank of the Arkansas river between Van Buren and Mulberry within the next year and a half
 The contract was let Thursday 10 A. M Morrow, of this city, and ac- cording to present plans, the work will be begun within the next thirty days. Prominent construction firms from Memphis, Vicksburg, Natchez, Muskogee and other cities were in the field for the work, but the Morrow concern was the successful aspirant, as it's bid of 12S9 cents per yard for the earthwork and $11.50 for the concrete work in the culverts was a great deal lower than those of their rivals.
 Three large reinforced concrete cul- verts will be built in the lAvee and it is the intention of the Crawford county levee board to make it the best in that section.
 Bonds to the amount of $350,000 have been issued with which to carry on the work, which will be supervised by Harry N. Pharr. of Memphis who is chief engineer of the board The bonds were recently purchased by D. C. Bell, secretary of the Pine Bluff Trust Company.

The Beautiful and Impressive Ceremonies
7 pm Lancaster Yesterday. A Day Long
to be Remembered by the Men,
Women and Children of the
I Red Rose County,

yesterday was pre-emlnently a
red letter day in the history of
old Lancaster, the occasion being
the unveiling of the strikingly
handsome monument erected on
the court house square as me-
mortal to her gallant sons who
valiantly fought for the Confed-
eracy, by the patriotic women of
the county, under the auspices of
the noble Daughters of the Con-
federacy. The town generally
was dressed in gala attire. Many
buildings, particularly the stores
on Main street, were decorated
with red, white and blue bunting,
National and Confederate flags,
etc. Some of the store decorat-
ions were really works of art.
Long before the exercises be-
gan stylish equipages filled with
elegantly dressed ladies and gen
tlemen, the horses and carriages
decorated with waving flags,
were seen dashing to and fro
throughout the town. Even Ma
ture smiled auspiciously on the
occasion. The rain that had been
falling in torrential fashion for
many hours ceased it's downpour
early in the day, the ominOus
clouds gradually rolled away and
the bright rays of the sun shone
in all their splendor. Notwith-
standing the fact that the heavy
rain had swollen the streams in
county and elsewhere, rendering
many of them impossible, hum
dreds of gentlemen and ladies'
from various parts of the county
managed somehow to get to town
and participate in the pleasures of
the day. Fully 1000 persons were
present altogether. The order
of exercises as published in We'd
nesday's News was substantially
carried out. Chief Marshal w. G..
A. Porter and his assistants. all

published, formed the procession

marched up Dunlap street,

thence to Main and up the lat

where the speakers stand had
been erected directly in front
of the building and facing
the monument. The stand, court
house stairway ratings, etc, were
beautifully and tastefully decor
ated with Confederate colors.
The garland bearers, consist

ed in white with red sashes and
ties, formed a square about the
monument just before the pro-
