 Another English song Drink to me only with Thine Eyes" is so beauti- ful that it is as great a favorite with ! the present day young folks as it is with their grandmothers and the Whitneys know aow Uo bring out all it's melody one could but appreciate the quotation from Whittier which preceded this song on the program: "I love the old melodious lays. which softly melt the ages through"
 The Bonnie Briar Bush" an old Scotch lay, was what one might call illustrated. by the facile facial eX- pressions of the singers. The eXplan- iation which accompanied this song was that the Scots used always to have a garden or "Kail yard" behind the house, Kali meaning cabbage. in which the lads and lassies did their icourting. One verse of the ballad reads like this:
 "Wha ere may think wi, pen and ink
 that love can be declared Will find that passions by a pen maist
 waefully impaired;
 For me I dinna like the love that's
 written on 2 caird.

 The readings of Edwin Whitney were excellent though his impersona- tions of male characters were prefer able It seems to be as much a phy- sical impossiblity for man to cOun- terfeit woman's voice as vice-versa.

 The program closed by few re- marks by Edwin in which he told how much he and his brothers had enjoyed tnei- visit here with former friends and saving that though he had lived here some 13 years before. it was the first visit of his brothers but they were all agreed if they ever left New York state they would come to the Salt River Valley.

BIG REUNION TRAVEL
WAS WE'LL HANDLED

The Cottcn Belt railroad handled
eighteen coaches from Argenta
Thursday night, bringing many Pine
Bluffians and others to this city.
Many of the passengers were from
other points in this and adioin-
ing states. They left on midnight
trains for their destinations. The
Iron Mountain handled nearly thirty
coaches in order to accommodate the
hundreds of Pine Bluffians who re-
turned Thursday night from the
capital. Many others came here on
the Iron Mountain and took trains
north and south during yesterday. The
rapid manner in which the railroads
handled the mammoth crowds at Little
Rock Thursday brought forth much
favorable comment. Fully half of
the 100000 visitors had been carried
cut of the city by midnight Thursday
and hundreds remained over there
yesterday.
