Although the crowd that left Pine Bluff on the special train that morning was not as large as expected, it developed that several hundred Pine Bluff people who would have ordinarily been num- bered among the passengers on the special had gone over there on prev fous days and joined the big delega- ion on it's arrival.

 A Good Officer,

Because of excellent detective work through which he has brought about the arrest and conviction of many burglars, sneak thieves and other criminals ill this city and section, j. Frank Ste#art, constable of Vaugine township, and one of the most effl- oitnt if not really the most efficient officer who eyer served the people of this city, was yesterday present ed with S250 in cash as a token of appreciation on the part of individ- uals, merchants and others. of this city, who went together and contrib 1 uted money to reward him for his presented with the money yesterday afternoon by Cashier H. B. Strange, of the Peoples Savings and Trust Company, who personally circulated a subscription list to secure the amount.
 In the past several months Con- stable Stewart has effected the arrest of many burglars, and in almost ey- cry instance all the valuables stolen D ythem were recovered. He has patroled the alleys and dark highways of the city night after night until the city has been rid of it's thieves and burglars. On one occasion he en- gagged in a desperate fight with a ne- gro burglar, after he had taken him residence on State street. He was painfully injured in the fight, but ov- empowered his man and now the negro ] is in the state penitentiary. Many other criminals among them no few whites, have been sent to the state prison through Stewards efforts. He has aided the officers of Little Rock and Argenta in recent months in run ming down many thieves and bur- glars. He is now serving his third term as constable of this township MT. Frank Stewart,
 Pine Bluff, Ark,
 Dear Sir:-Du~ing the past few years I have heard most favorable comment upon the capable service rendered by you as constable of this township. It has frequently beer said in my presence that some eX- pression of appreciation of your dili- gence should be given you by our citi- zens.

 Yours very truly,

MUST GET BUSY SAYS JUDGE GOULD Offers Suggestions to Farm CTS to Counteract the
 Boil Weevil.
WHAT OTHERS CAN DO
One Man Raises Wheat, Has Corn to Sell, and Supplies His Own Meat
 -Returns From Trip.

County Judge James Gould, of this city. farmer of years experiences and one of the most prominent off, cials of this section of the state, re- turned yesterday from a business trip to Star City, Lincoln county, during which he inspected the crops in that part of the state and talks interest ingly of diversified farm that is be- ing carried out successfully in Lin coin county He makes some valu, able suggestion for farmers, urging them to plant wheat and corn to make sure of success if the boil weevil in vades this county the coming seaso'. and the indications are that the boil Weevil will do much damage to crops for the next twelve months at least Many boil weevil have already been found on farms in this immediate section. In an interview yesterday Judge Gould said:
 T read with much interest a few days ago an article relative to meet- ing held in Pine Bluff by few prom inent men, who met to discuss the boil weevil and devise plans to coun- teract the damage threatened by tlls great destroyer of our cotton crop These meetings at this time are pro- per and should continue. These meet ings should be held often and tn, plans carried out in detail. The far mers of this section should get to- gether at once and do something.
 ''I am just back from a trip to Lin coin county, where the weevil ha: already appeared in great numbers especially in the hills. I met a far mer who told me that he had ont acre in wheat from which he ha! threshed 20 bushels of as fine whea as can be grown anywhere. Suppose he had planted five acres instead 0 one and harvested twelve bushels in- stead of fifteen to the acre.
