Matthews building and the
Fox Bros. Hardware store, which ad-

good. The fly has no manners at all;
it goes into places where angels fear
to tread; it offers any man all the
various types of germs that he has
read about and taking it all in all

part--it is one of the most disreput-
able little microbe bearers in all the
world wherever dirt is the fly is,
may or may not be wholly true, but
it is true that no lady or gentleman
will sit down to eat a meal with
hundred flies as guests, and they will
not tolerate the presence of typhoid
dispenser or ditch dweller any longer
than possible. Men and flies were
not made for each other. Men were
made to swat the fly and flies were
made to give swatters something to
do. The fly is the enemy of chill
dren and the grave digger of human
ity; it is the pesky little two winged
child of disease and filth; it is the
bad speck on the cheek of health

DEVELOP THE COUNTRY.

Expression was given at the Board
of Trade smoker on Friday night TO
one of the most vital principles that
concern the future Of Pine Bluff by
several of the speakers and no doubt
left an impression upon their hearers
that will work for good in the COM
ing months of effort to make Pine
Bluff a better place in which to live
and a better place to carry on busi-
ness 1873 a...e.i :Ers.'t 80. 1s''
We refer to the development OF the
country surrounding this city till ev-
cry forty acres has been settled by
thrifty farmer, truckster, or dairy
man. No city is greater than it's
tributary territory, at least, until 1t
has grown many years beyond the
progress Pine Bluff has marked thus
far. The prime secret, according to
some of the best informed and most
thoughtful speakers on that occas-
ion, is the division of the large tracts
Of land nearby to admit the small
farm movement and pointed with eff
feet to the benefits other sections
have received from this same policy.
The Pacific coast cities have devel-
oped with striking strides by building
around them colonies of ten-acre
farms on which are grown the fruits
peculiar to their climate, all of the
truck products, poultry and stock,
and such crops as alfalfa. The same
principles can be adapted to Jeffer-
son county lands and it will be a
happy day for this city when many
small farms displace few large
plantations.

It was officially announced last
night that Pine Bluff would not be

various sections of the city. Some
connections are also to be made in
the country districts before gas will
