Zone OF the most interesting,

an exhibit Of fruit and vegetables
in the school building by the
children OF several rural schools
in the township. The teachers
Of these schools had been notified
that l would speak, and several
Of them had brought their entire
schools in. There must have
been at least two hundred school
children present.
Each school made in one OF
the recitation rooms ofthe Train
ing School, an exhibition
OF fruit and vegetables that was
on eYe.opener as to the possibil
tiles of Watauga az q fruit and'

tilled all the available space in
my valise with beautiful apples,
Upon my return to Raleigh |

that they weighed fifteen ounces

Such cabbage, beets and pump.

washed away. The railroads using this bridge would have given finan- cial assistance to Jefferson county ill defending the banks of the riv I against the encroachments of the water.
 1t is to the interests of the busi- ness men of Jefferson county to build this bridge for the use of railroads that will not come to Pine Bluff for the reason that there is no such bridge Within one years time af- ter the completion of the bridge mo"e than one railroad would use it.
 I do not like to hear our good old Arkansas river decried as if it were old and worthless. In good times it bore upon it's bosom some of the noblsst river craft that graced west ern waters. Fifty and sixty years ago it was landed to the skies by poets and editors Times have changed and traffic is no longer satisfied with the slow process of river navioation. But rivers in various parts of the United States are coming into their own again and the time is not so very distant when rivers like the Ark;l,,- sas will enjoy some of the popularity now enjoyed by the Hudson and the Ohio.
 The spirit of the times is the snirl: of prophecy, and indicates great changes and great advances in our population during the present uecade if those whose hands control the des- tinies of Jefferson county and tat state of Arkansas will but disct ry

FATHER LUCEY
 ON FREE BRIDGE
Old Resident Writes COnSer,atiNely of the Free Bridge Proposition and
 Reviews Experiences of the Past.

The following letter was recently addressed to former Secretary J. L.. Caldwell of the Pine Bluff Board Of Trade, by Monsignor J. NJ. Lucgy, ill which he discusses the free bridSA proposition now attracting so much attention for Pine Bluff:
 The Rev. J. L. Caldwell,
 Secretary Board of Trade,
 City
 Pine Bluff daily papers several art!- lcles from yourself and others on the matter of a free bridge over the Ar kansas river that would practically be within the city limits. I have miss ed some of the local papers on ec- count of absence from the city but as Il am not 'ta kiug up a controversy with Eany one 1 do not need a full account. It is right and proper for any ono who may have ideas on the subject, to give the public the benefit of tn e,n. have always been in favor of a That there are unusual difficulties to be overcome, is we'll known. but that in twenty-five years from now one or two bridges will span the river here seems to me to be certainty. The section of Jefferson county immedl- ately north of us is about as it was forty years ago and will not likely change until there is bridge at our . city to give direct intercourse.
 ] When the Cotton Belt railway was building into our city, my recollection is that $50,000 was asked of the citi- zens to bring the bridge to Pine Bluff that being the difference of the cost of putting it at Rob Foy or Pine Bluff Our citizens did not respond and Rob Roy landowners did and the bridge went to Rob Roy. I am not sure of my data but it is my impress
 sion that a bridge can be built at
 Pine Bluff limits for about $100O0e more than it could be built six ol more miles distant That such {
 bridge is worth much more than thai sum for a period of five or ten years
 to the business men of Pine Bluff is
 so evident as to need no proof.
 Had such a bridge been built tel
 years ago, the peninsula opposite
 Pine Bluff would have become D,
