BURGLARS WORKING
 PINE BLUFF

The city of Pine Bluff is again in- fected with a gang of burglars who are working the town with ease and impunity. During the past week a number of residences have been en- tered and burglarized. but the officers have ben unable to catch the culprits although they have been actively en- gagged in trying to locate them and get in touch with them. So far only two have been arrested as suspects, but the work of house breaking goes on without a halt The thieves were at work in the east end of the city last night, but were so smooth in their work that all efforts of the of ficers to locate them were of no avail. It is sincerely hoped that when they are caught it will be "in the act'' and that the undertakers will be kept busy for a while in disposing of their worthless carcasses. Every citizen should be authorized to be prepared for them and make an example of ev- cry one caught in order that no more of their kind will ever be tempted to visit Pine Bluff
 A residence at 1903 East Sixth was burglarized last night while two po- licemen were within one or two blocks of the house, but before they were aware of the fact the burglars had escaped. Almost the entire police force joined in the search, but no trace of the thieves was found. A small amount of money and watch was taken from this house.

The best proof that an individua or company is meeting with success is 1 shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors. It is the fellow that is not doina anything that never gets the knocks ; but he becomes a specialist with the hammer. So when you hear a fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step- ped on his toes.
 You Will find this the case with professional men--Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex- Iception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Con- pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell. At first they began to whine, now you can hear them yelping, on every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE FIDOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have new company in the field. We'll you have had them before. I have never heard you in such pain and agony as this.
 Yes, But-Well hold on, don't they pay their claims? Yes, that is the trouble and they, are offering a $10O reward for proof of any unpaid just claim.
 We'll why don't you get that s10O and quit knocking. I can't find an unpaid claim. Are they prompt in the settlement of claims. Yes, all the policyholder has to do is to have

 Well, if this is the case. see no reason of so much unwarranted knocking. We'll on the 0.

We feel encourag- ed over the above as our president assures us that knocking on the part of competitors means greater success

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Dedicated to the Memory of Col R. H.
Lindsay.

! Col, K. II. Lindsay, prominent Con
federate Veteran and highly respected
member of General Leroy Stafford
Camp No. 3, U. c. V. of Shreveport,
died at the Istrouma Hotel, in Baton
Rouge, La, on July I, 1910, while dis
charging his duty as member of the
Pension Board of Louisiana.
Deceased was a useful citizen in time
of peace and distinguished for gallantry
on the battlefelds of the South in time
of war. For fifty years he was prom
inent citizen of Shreveport, engaged in
several business pursuits and filling a
prominent position as president of the
Morris Compress Company, president
of the Board of Health, Assessor of
Caddo parish and as member of the
Board of Pensions of the State
As soldier he was elected lieuten-
ant of the Caddo Fencib1es, and was
attached to the Sixteenth Louisiana
Volunteer Infantry. He followed the
fortunes of the regiment to which he
was attached as a part of Gibson's
Brigade of the Army of Tennessee.
He became Colonel of the regiment
to which he belonged, and was promot-
ed for gallantry on the field. Beloved
by his men, he was distinguished for his
unfaltering courage and reliability. He
participated in the battles of Shiloh,
Missionary Ridge, Reseca, New Hope
Church, Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta,
Jonesboro, Franklin, Nashville and 9th
er battles, and his regiment was one of
the rear guard of Hoods army in the
retreat from Tennessee into Georgia.
Therefore,
Be it resolved by General Leroy
Stafford Camp No. 3 U. C. Vi That
in the death of. Col R. H. Lindsay this
Camp has lost a prominent and distin-
guished member, and the city of Shreve-
port a useful and highly esteemed citi-
zen.
Be it further resolved, That we re-
cognize his prominency in the commun-
ity in which he lived, and in his life the
genial, sociable and unpretentious citi-
zen. Brave in battle, an exemplar of
the Christian gentleman in peace, a de-
voted father and husband, he won the
love of his friends, the admiration of
his comrades-in arms for all those rare
qualities of head and heart that mark
the career of one who has left behind
him the priceless heritage of the great
and good man, and the memory of al
character that win outlast the flight of
time. Honored and beloved, he rests
in peace, Gag
Be it further resolved, That these
resolutions be spread upon the minutes
of the Camp, copy be forwarded to
the family of the deceased, and that
they be sent to the journals of Shreve-
port for publication.

Shall the South that they gave their

Give them only nameless grave?
Nayi for the men who faced the fray
Are hers in truth till the judgment day
And God himself in the far sweet lands
VIII work their blood of their country

Aye till the trump sounds far away,
And the silver bugles of heaven play,
And the roll is called at the judgment
