PINE BLUFF|ANS
 ARE INVITED Montlcellonians Will Have Big Day When They Lay Cornerstone of the
STATE AGRICULTURAL,
Schooi-Pine BIun Board oi Trade May Go On a Special Train
 Boosters Active.

The Pine Bluff Board of Trade and the people of this city have received an invitation from The Boosters of Monticello to attend the cornerstone laying of the State Agricultural School at that place on August II. at which time the people of that hospj- table little city hope to entertain fully ten thousand visitors The invita- tion is signed by individuals and firms of that place and will be acted upon at meeting of the Board of Trade directors within the next few days.
 The plan, as suggested by the Boosters, is to run a special train from Pine Bluff to Monticello, with a band of music and hundreds of farmers, business men and others aboard. In view of the fact that the agricultural school at Monticello is to be conducted as much in the inter- est of Pine Bluff and Jefferson coun- ty as any other city or county in the district, the idea meets with favor here. It is most likely that some favorable action will be taken by the Pine Bluff Board of Trade and that a special train will be operated from this city to Monticello on the interest ing occasion,
 The letter from the Boosters to the Board of Trade follows:
 Monticello, Drew County,
 Arkansas
 July 13, A. D. 1910. To the Board of Trade. or Business Mems League of Pine Bluff, Ark ansas.
 Gentlemen: The Agricultural school which is now in course of con- struction near Monticello, will be ready for the laying of the corner stone on August 11th, A. D 1910. which occasion will be celebrated with Masonic honors On that day the citizens of Drew county will give on the grounds barbecue.
 Inasmuch as this is district school within whose territory you are located, we will solicit your as- sistance to this extent; that you charter special train from your city to Monticello on that date mak- ing stops at all stations that you may deem advisable; and also ask that you furnish band for that occasion. The expense of special train will be bourne by those who take passage along route.
 We propose to give this entertain

OLD MILL IS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

The fire boys were called out about 10 o'clock last night to extinguish a fire at the old Cady mil, at Beech and Scull streets The fire had gained too much headway for the boys to be of any aid although they put up good fight The old mill was used for a sand house, and Sam Knox had few horses stabled there, but they were removed before the fire could reach them. The fire burned rapidly and in few moments after the fire was discovered the building was burned to the ground.
