ARRoR DAY FOR PINE BLUFF.

Until few years ago there was eel. ebrated with considerable interest an annual fete at which speeches were gotten out of the system of patriotic Americans and the leading event ot the occasion was the planting of ono or more trees.
 The building of concrete sidewalks over portion of the city should cause a revival of this celebration in Pine Bluff, at least. Next time the day come around every one should get a tree and plant it if his property has been left in such shape that there is room enough for a tree to grow on it.
 Just as starter for getting up a program we will suggest two prospec- tive numbers:

SATURDAY JUNE. IS, 1910.
WANTED TO ELOPE.

With the Patterson shows is
Miss We Wee the little midget
and Prof. Hoppe, the crooked
legged little man, called the frog
boy. They are deeply in love with
each other. Notwithstanding his
awful deformities, little Miss We
Wee wants to marry him. AT Ft.
Smith, Ark, recently they
planned to get married but the
management objected. Hoppe is
absolutely helpless, and the little
woman is unable to help him, is
hardly able to help herself. Mrs.
Patterson is u highly cultured
and intelligent woman and has
decided ideas on sociology, Sc
they were persuaded not to try to
elope, but not until after they had
engaged a cabby and made plans
to get over into Oklahoma. The
lovers insist that they are going to
get married as soon as their sea
son is over and their contracts
have expired.
The Great Patterson shows open
their engagement here on July
fourth and continue for the week
under the auspices of the Ger
mania Benevolent Society.
