 from Chicot 'amd with the aid of crowbars it's freight and passenger service was pushsd to Little Rock When the Cotton Belt was about to enter the town, the Iron Mountain grew jealous and threw obstacles in the way. The Cotton Belt came and the traffic of the Iron Mountain cut of Pine Bluff rose from almost noth- ing to an amount that should be very satisfactory to the officials of the road. Stores bring stores and rail- building up of the country every one is benefited.
 Some people advance the idea that we cannot afford just now to build such Il bridge. Gan any body looking ahead see a time when we will be
 better able to build? We should keep ill mind that our commercial growth and prosperity demand it, at the very earliest possible moment. Our Vely life depends, up2n it. The experience of other cities should cen vince Us that further delay is dis astrous. From 1867 to 1870 an le,- expected and welcome boom of pros parity struck the South and South west. Prices scared upward and money was plentiful. Memphis was on cemmeIc cial boom such as she had never before known. Soon to bcom gave evidence of subsistence. Some of the best business men in the ely advised the spending of sev- eral hundred thousand dollars on building sewers, water works, elec- tic lights, paved streets and other public Improvements, which would put the city in a first-c3ass sanitary condition. Oppos ton to so great an expenditure manifested itself. It was said that the city would become bank rupt. The opportunity prevailed. Taen came the two yellow fever epi- denies which swept away half the population and threefourths of the wealth. When the daIsd were buried and the survivors got their bearings in the change of things, Memphis arose as one man and with tramen- dous sacrifices built a modern city aud none today regret having made those sacrifices.

There is more Catarrh in this sec tlen of the country than all other di- seases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in curable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incur able. Science has proven CataITh to be a constitutional disease and there fore requires constitutional treat- ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu factured by F. J.

WHY HE FAVORS
 lHf FREE BRIDGE Monsignor Lucey's Address Before Bridge Association Was Most Sensible. DELAY IS DANGEROUS Cites What Other Cities Have Suffered Because of Delaying Pro-
 gressive Moves.
DELAY IS DANGEROUS

The speech of Monsincr J. M. Lucey, made at the meeting of the Free Bridge Association of Jefferson County Tues day night at the Chamber of Com merce rooms, was of such merit and so full of good common sense that its publication in full will prove of interest to residents of this county.
 Monsignor Lueey began by offering melton that vote of thanks be rendered Attorneys Coleman alfd Dan aher for their good work in behalf of the people of Jefferson county, which was adopted. He said that he was glad to unite with the assenlblaga in rejoicing over the successful issue of the free bridge question, so far as the courts were concerned and re- g.etted that those wlao have been so long in opposition do not now see the. light and the truth.
 The reason which has always in fluenced him in approving the free bridge enterprise was that he deemed
 
 it an absolute necessity for the fur ther advancement commercially of Pine Bluff, the capital of Jefferson county. If it could have been shown that this judgment was not we'll founded, he would not have preseTv- ed in it and if those in opposition had propased another and better plan for Free Bridge, he would have joined them in the work. But they have presented no plan and have only put themselves ia the position of opposing the further commercial progress of Pine Bluff, and Jefferson county.
 we ought to get on the wave of the progressive movement that is now sweeping over the South and south- west and be in position to reap our share of the benefits that wi1l come
 from the opening of the Panama csnal'' continued Mo- signor Lucey.
 '.There has been rumor in the .citys that stSte, Cotton Belt railway is ~sD Free Bridge Others say that the Cotton Belt officials have decided net to oppose the building of the Free Bridge, though they may not as tax payers promote the project. As q matter of fact, many of their em- ployes are laboring under the impress sion that the railway is against the building of the bridge and for this reason alone have sig,led the oppos- ing petition.
 .sIt may be accepted that tee Cot ton Belt corporation is not opposed to the Free Bridge. It would be a very shcrt sighted policy. There was a town in Arkans fifty years ago that had one store. Another man sought to establish aEother store there and the aboriginal storekeeper objected. Tlae town has still one
