 Yesterday Graphic representative interviewed the young men just prior to their departure. They said ill part:
 We have been more than delight cd With our visit to Pine Bluff and are certainly pleased with the oppor- tunities here. The night before we left Ohio a farewell party was held at our home attended by over 40 peo- pie, each of whom is eager to hear about Arkansas and it's possibilities, and we are sending them a good re- port of our impressions here. You would be surprised if you knew of the thrifty, able bodied laboring men up in our country who are heartsick of their prospects there and eager to get into such a country as this and locate on q little farm.
 These machinists, who are parti- cular friends of ours, will be just as much surprised to know of the won- derful possibilities here, and we are sending them data given us by MT. Mills, which they will pass from one to the other You may rest assured that you will hear from them.
 This is certainly poor mans country. We have satisfied ourselves that poor man can come here and with few hundred dollars start on a farm, making himself comfortably in- dependent within a few years; he can have enough left for tools and implements. There are many places here, we know, that man could buy and make them pay for themselves out of the crops.
 Up our way the talk is all Arkan- sas and we believe this state is on the eve of wonderful tide of immigra- tlon; Pine Bluff should certainly keep prepared for this. The people have received us very cordially and we believe you have the right spirit here, but there is nothing like always being on the alert for the stranger within your gates. who is here seek ing location.
 l The cost of living is lots cheaper than up in our country, for here a thrifty man can make his garden go a good way toward keeping up home ex. penses. The good country roads fin ! this county, the splendidly kept streets and beautiful residences 1 n Pine Bluff were all surprise to us.
 We promised our friends that we would complete our trip over the Cotton Belt before we decided on a location, otherwise we would decide to stop in Pine Bluff and locate right 1 now. As it is, we think only a short ] time will olapse before we are back i here to stay.
 The excellent conditions mention- ed above together with the most im- portant Of all, your splendid climate and pure water, are the things that incline us toward Pine Bluff and lief ferson county"
