Secretary Bishop Writes That Little Rock Is Too Good Point to Be Overlooked by New Line BuiId-
 ing Across the State.

Little Rock. Feb. 26.-When Little Rock and Hot Springs agreed to raise bonus of $100,000 each and donate certain rights of way for the main line of the Memphis, Paris X Gulf railroad, it appeared assured that Little Rock would secure this new through railroad line from the fact that forthwith and immediately Lit tie Rock raised her $100,00O.
 But for some reason or another Hot Springs either refused or failed to live up to her agreement and since the building through this section of the country was based upon the two cities raising $10O,O0O each, the rail- road company sought another course. which it has apparently been success full in securing
 Recently the Little Rock Board of Trade took the matter up with J. o. Bishop, secretary of the Memphis, Paris X Gulf Railroad, asking what eiN h'IiIuuS ol lHe COHlpdHy IS re- garding Little Rock, and in reply Secretary Brown is in receipt of the following letter:
 Nashville, Feb. 10, 1910. Board of Trade, Little Rock:
 'Gentlemen-Replying to your com munication of yesterday, will say that the question of a line of road from the Arkadelphia-Pine Bluff line to Little Rock will be taken up and con- sidered a little later. From expres- sions of number of our directors, we think that the matter is viewed from your standpoint, and that your city is too good a point to be overlooked In fact, as you say, no line of road should cross the state without touch- ing the capital city either with it's main line or a branch line, and you may rest assured that at the proper time the matter will be fully consid- cred and your city given an opportu- nifty of securing a branch line of the Memphis, Paris & Gulf Railroad.
 Yours truly,

 FOOD SAYS MARION
Mrs. w. L. Barton Gathers DOnations for Arkansas Baptist Home at
 Monticello.

Mrs. w. L. Barton, of this city, re- gently sent two barrels of meal to the Arkansas Baptist Orphans Home at Monticello. The meal was collect ed by Mrs. Barton and subscribed by many local business firms, ladies and other charitably inclined residents of this city.
 In letter to Mrs. Barton, who sent two coops of chickens to the institu- tion several weeks ago, Mrs. J. N. Williams, the matron, in part says: My Dear Sister: Your good letters al- ways cheer and rest me. l was so glad to know that you are getting others interested. Oh that the time will soon come when conditions will be much bettered here. We are so crowded and I wonder what evil in the way of germ that may come from it. We are now sleeping with all windows open, but what will we do when the weather is too cool for this. Children continue to come.
 You are so original about your plans. Of course it would be fine to have you send something to eat. YoI could take a collection and one could give a jar of fruit or sack of meal, sugar, flour or anything to eat, and ann sure that you would be success full in getting a nice collection. Some have done this and it helps so much Of course we must have something to eat if we do not have clothes. I am glad say, thugh that I have places for one hundred children to be cloth ed and the other fourteen are not suffering. I must say what we need most just now is something to eat. We have nice garden, but we have to have bread and lard. We do not buy meat. We have nice bunch Of hogs and kill one when we think the children need meat Of course this kind of meat is very rich for child ren.

THE GRAPHIC'S RUSH SERVICE.

The extreme popularity of the Graph ic was thoroughly demonstrated yes- terday morning, when this paper, oVl ing to the fact that the current was shut off the night before becatse of the danger to pedestrians from live wires, did not issue on schedule time. From o'clock yesterday morning un- til the noon hour the telephones in the Graphic office were continually ringing. Subscribers made inquiries as to why the paper had not been de- livered at their homes and for two hours many persons called at this of- flee and asked for their paper. Ev- cry detail of Thursdays storm was covered in the Graphic's hurried re- port of the tornado and although this paper was forced to issue an edition in four hours, it was equal to the oc- casiOn and not one additional feature developed in the other local or out of town papers that was not covered by this paper in it's rush edition.
 The Graphic has often been handi- capped by "break-downs' and other things over which we have no control, but it has never failed to give it's readers the news when it is news and to give it to them accurately and full 1y. The Graphic is the popular pa per of Pine Bluff and there is noth- ing too good for it's readers.
