But Major Breckinridga Pine Bluff was then little city strug- gling for commercial supremacy and advancement. The conditions did not meet with Major Breckinridge's en- dorsement insofar as future business possibilities were concerIed. He did not care to remain here With the friends anda dmirers who were largely responsible for his success, but he chose another field.
 Where did he go? With his fame and fortune he cast his lot in Fort Smith and there he set about to use the BoTder City. Pine Bluff continued it's fight for commercial recogniza- tion and it, as it's present importance will attest, won out
 Pine Bluffs advancement has been made in the last ten years Major Breckinridge, living in another city during that time, did not help to build it up, and Pine Bluff people who ill years gone by stood nob1y by Il m, do not take his attitude on the Bridge question with kindly feeling. Surely he is the last man we would think would put one stone in the pathway of this citys progress.
 If there was anything to be ac- complished aside from mere ag:ta- tion and il-feeling in his position on this question which has always Deen a staunch friend, a great adm rer and d defender of Major Breekinridge, would remain silent. But it comes with poor grace for Majcr Breckin- fidge to endeavor to impede progress in this city at this .ime.

ATTITUDE \ SURPRISE

Major Clifton R. Breckinridge, for mer res dent of Jefferson county and one time Ambassador to St. Peters bug, will address the people of Jef- ferson county Tuesday evening from the Court House steps on the Free Fridge question, and it is needless to state that the Major will talk against the badly needed enterprise, after his speech before Taxpayers Protective Association, which met ill this city last Wednesday night.
 In his spsech on that occasion Ma jor Breekinridge declared that there was nothing for the Free Bridge to Hunnect to on the north side of the R iyer.
 We shall not take issue with Major Rrecknridge in this statement, but ,ners'iy refer him to the wonderful progress that has been made in recent in the growing little towns of North JeffeT sen county and the great amount of cotton, rice, corn and other crops that have been turned out from the valuable plantations in the North ern part of this county.
 Some years ago Major Bfeckinridge came to Pine Bluff from Kentucky. He brought with him family history that immediately won him recogniza- ticn. He was recognized as a gertle- man Of attainment and intellect and the good people of Pine Bluff shower ed hersors upon him until finally he was sent to Congress from this Dis flict, not through the energies or eff f~rts of non-residents but purely through the untiring labors of his PiEe Bluff friends and admirers. In q few years he was sent to Russia as the American ambassador and while there he was occasionally censured ani criticised for some of his official gets But like the good and lcyal x friends they were. the people of Pine Bluff stood by him ard denounced any and all charass that tvs re made againsf their home cHnen and contin- usd their loyalty until his return.

TRUST COMPANY
 DIRECTORS SUED
Continued from page 1.)

shares Of stock for $630.
 "The safl directors, also, caused and permitted a fictitious showing of deposits to be made by the said Pine Bluff Trust Company reads the pe- tition, "by the depositing of large sums of money just prior to the making of a financial statement and the withdrawal of the same immedi- ately thereafter, and otherwise caused an unreal and untrue showing to be made of the business done by, and the profits of the company with the in- tent to deceive the public and to in duce the purchasing of the stock thereof.
 The stock purchased by the plain tiff, it is alleged, was absolutely worthless and of no value whatever, and he says he has been damaged by the acts of the defendants in the sum of $4,92S.
 The plaintiff did not discover that said statements and representations made by the defendants were false and untrue until after the month of February, 1910. Prior to that date he did not know the true eondit on of the corporation and continued to rely upon published statements as to it's true condition.
 The alleged false statements of the banking institution are attached to the petition.

Bee culture having proven such a Sue
cess ON the North Side tract. everyone
seems To have their eyes and ears open
inr the sight ur sound of a swarm of
bees. one ui our entcrprising farmers
one evening recently detected the sound
nf a swarm which had evidently taken
to the ground near his home. Seeking
assistance from a neighbor, they set To
work L. smoke the swarm out, and hay
ing prepared a hive Tor their reception,
they were soon successful in landing them
safely within the same. After a night
spent in dreaming OF thefabulous returns
To he derived from this new acquisition
To his farm. our friend cautiously APP
preached his hive the next morning To
find lac had safely captured one OF the
largest sWarms OF humble bees that II
was ever his fortune to witness. 1t is
