 Discovered the Flames.

While E. G. Huff, an employe of the Cotton Belt shops, was attending a downtown lodge meeting last night and the other members of his family were at church services, fire destroyed their home at Ninth ave- nue and Ohio street The fire was not discovered until the home was en- veloped in flames and the building and contents, which were partially insured were a total loss. The fire depart ment responded and seeing it was useless to try to save the burning did good work in prevent ing a spread of the flames.
 The building was five-room The fire occurred at about S:30 o'clock. Fire and smoke pre- vented the neighbors from taking out some of the furniture.

THE IDEAL CITY
 IS PICTURED Dr. Jones Lectured on 'The Call of the City, Last
 4 Night.
ON THE CIVIC UPLIST
Tells What May be Expected in the Near Future in Modern Muni-
 cipalities.

What Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, of Chicago, did in his lecture Monday night for the home, he repeated for the city last night when he spoke on the timely subject, .The Call of the City,, at the Temple. We use the word timely advisedly, for at this moment Pine Bluff is on the eve of a great and far reaching civic awak- ening. The gathering that listened to Dr. Jones for an hour and a half and reluctantly departed when the last word was spoken, was a repre- sentative one, including several of the members of the city council, pro- fessional men and those prominent in commercial life. Many ladies, prominent in woman's clubs and con- cerned with civic uplift endeavors, were also numbered among the large assemblage. Dr. Jones' lecture is de- stined to have an inspiring effect in the betterment and the enlargement of our city institutions and govern ment.
 The noted speaker said that up to very recent times the city was re- garded as a diseased spot, carbun- kle on the back of the neck of the body polite. It was looked upon as center for impurity, dissipation and corruption. In short, as the despair of Democracy. But the opin- ions of men are changing and the new opinions are being reinforced by the findings of science.
 The city now is the hope of De- mocracy. The longings of the country boy and girl for city life is not due solely to the circumstance that the girl wants to dress with the frills and furbellowes of the society lady, and the boys to indulge in the
 gaiety' of the metropolis, but the impulse that draws them to the city is as deeply rooted in their instincts as that which drives the wild geese southward in the fall. It is a dumb but natural and irresistible de- sire, to share in the glorious privil- eges that the city offers in associa- tion with the great and in opportun- itfes to meet men and women of gen. ius and influence.
 It is in the city where education,

CHARLES ". HARRIS
 DIES IN TEXAS
Married Miss Fannie King, of This City, and Former AssessOr-BOdy Being Brought
 Here.

News of the death of Charles w. Harris, for years resident of this city and who shortly before his de- parture for Texas, several years ago, county reached Pine Bluff yesterday afternoon in the shape of telegram to Mrs. l.. K. Land, an intimate friend of the family. The body will be brought to this city for interment, accompanied by his wife, who was formerly Miss Fannie King, of this city The funeral arrangements will be announced later. Mrs. Fan nie King, mother of Mrs. Harris, who has been spending the winter with A. F. McNeill at Redfield, was called to the bedside of Mr. Harris several days ago.
 Mir. Harris died yesterday after . noon at Vernon, Texas. He was AZ years old and had been in failing health for several years He was high toned, honorable gentleman and had many friends in this city and section. During his service as asses sor of this county he made an envi- able record and was regarded as one of the best clerical men who ever held that office, and one of the most efficient. Besides Mrs. Harris, two sons, 12 and 9 years of age, and one sister, Mrs. T. D. Duncan, of Mem Dhis survive.

where art, where science, where the drama and where the rest of the po- tent emanations of beauty and skill and holiness find their source and reach their highest fruition If the city does not yet realize these sup erb results this is not because it is incapable of doing so, but because it's citizens have not buckled down to earnest efforts to bring about these results.
 Rising to a flight of oratory, pr. Jones exclaimed: "The Ideal City of which I am speaking is not an im- possible vision but will prove the cold result of the first quarter of the Twentieth Century,
 Comparing municipality to pri- vate home, the speaker said that the one was but a larger reproduction of the other and he made an appeal for city mothers as we'll as city fathers maintaining that the men unassisted had made a fizzle of city economics.
 In building the ideal city the class of citizens, whose main object is greed, are to be eliminated from the position of control. The cities of antiquity, which attain commercial greatness and nothing else, namely, Tyre, Sidon and Carthage, are now the haunts of bats and the bowling places of Jackals. Neither does beauty alone guarantee the lasting greatness of metropolis Witness the examples of Athens of old, Cor inth, Ephesus, Memphis and Rome. The city that shall prevail, declared pr. Jones, is the one the foundations of which are righteousness and it's wall purity. The New Jerusalem of the future will be a place where san itary conditions, where temperance, chastity and justice hold unimpaired sway
 As in ancient Judea there were cit ies of refuge for the protection of even the criminal and as the church in the Middle Ages offered a silence in it's monasteries and convents to the weak and the erring; so the mod ern city will be place of safety and the beneficient wing of protection to the shelterless, the straying and weak of purpose.
 AS sort of postscript to his two discourses, Dr. Jones bade his audi ence good bye in an impressive man. ner and paid gracious tribute to the Jewish people and their Temple for the hospitality and cordiality ac- corded him. He said that the fun damentals of the Jewish religion, emphasizing as they do the unity of God and it's implication the unity of the human race, appealed to his ideals and made him, though not a member of the House of David nor of the line of Solomon, feel close kinship for them.

The Age of Concrete.

The following four paragraphs we
scissor from a recent issue of the
Burlington Hawkeye:
1t seems but few years ago that
the stone masons would have moth
ing to do with concrete; and the
builders would not touch it, and the
architects, or some of them at least,
talked in sneering tones of the con-
crete fad.
And today every railroad COM
pany in the land is using concrete
in preference to every other build
ing material, where concrete can
possibly be used, and the cities and
the counties are abandoning the
old wooden or iron culverts which
were frequently in need of repair
and are substituting concrete bridg-
es and culverts. that need not paint
and no repairs, and that will grow
stronger with the years.
And here and there the cities
have begun paving with concrete
and here and there they are build
ing country roads of concrete. And
these roads and streets are proving
even better than could have been
expected, and the new material is
growing in popularity and the pro-
duction and consumption of con-
crete is one of the never-failing
wonders of the time
And the old stone masons, or
some of them at least, are still un-
reconciled, but the builders have
swung into line, and there are no
more architects in the land who are
sneering at the concrete fad. And
there is probably not an architect
in all the land who has not posted
up on concretes and it's uses, and
who has not long since become an
ardent advocate of this very best of
all building materials.

Who Wouldn't be Il Farmer?

Who wouldn't be farmer?
There is just one trouble, only the
farmers know how to farm. There
are thousands who would like to
quit the towns and cities and emil
crate to the country, and possess
themselves of broad fertile lands
and proceed to make two blades of
this, that or the other of grass
grow where one or none grew be-
fore, but this proposition presents
that it takes from two to twenty
years to learn how to farm, (some
folks never learn, and within such
a period bankruptcy might occur
several times over. But if all of
us cannot be farmers, all can adj
mire the horny-handed sons of toll
and rejoice with him in his present
great prosperity. He is the bull
wark of the nation and the salt of
the earth.

Nathan Reeves Passes Away.

Nathan Reeves, resident of this
city since 1892, passed away on Fri

NEWSPAPER ERRORS.

Some people seem to think they
prove their own brilliancy by being
able to point out errors in a news
paper. After taking their leisure to
pick flaws in work that had to be
done in hurry, they call the news
paper man by telephone or hail him
on the street, for wrong capitaliza-
ton or split infinitive, if they can
find nothing more serious.
Everyone makes mistakes in his
profession. but with most people
only the boss knows about it. The
mans mistakes spread
out for all the world to see.
The conditions of newspaper MAX
ing demand that it be done at high
pressure. If the editor went at his
task with the extreme caution mani
tested by the lawyer when he writes
a will, there would not be time to do
much writing. And few people rea-
lie what infinite pains even under
existing conditions are taken to
avoid error so far as possible. The
bulk of the mistakes are the result
of inaccurate information given to
