Now that the weather has settled and the mud is drying up contestants will experience nc trouble in getting cut. among the.r friends and rounding up every subscription and promises that has been made to you the past few week.. The time is getting short in which to secure the vote that will be necessary to place your name at the 'head of the l st as winner of one of the automobiles. There still re- mains practically two weeks in whicli to secure this vote
 Voting of the different contestants was very light yesterday as nearly all the contestants are taking advan. taGe of the clear sky which prevail- ed.
 This week should be better for you in the way of securing votes and sub. scriptions than was the past in that the contest is nearing an end and at the same time all contestants will he able to get out each day and add amazingly to your reserve.
 Double Your Efforts.
 This is the week and the time that you should double your efforts III the securing of subscriptions and votes in the Graphlc's gigantic voting contest. It is the time when every contestant should put forth their best efforts. Only a few days more and the race th3t has been going on for the past several weeks will come to and end if you are desirous of seeing your name on the roll of honor after the final count of April ,, you should not lose enc minute of this week ill secur- ing as many subscriptions as possible The longer the subscription the more votes you will secure, as you will mo- tice in the schedule.
 Hustle and energy this week will determine to a great extent your Win ming one of the 22 valuable prizes to be awarded by this paper, and are cn display at the different places pur- chased. The division of the prizes is so that contestant living in the smallest town in the territory to be covered has exactly the same chance and opportunity of winning as con- testant residing in the city of Pine Bluff. It all depends on the proper amount of energy you display between now and the final close.
 Many a prize has been won in the last two weeks of the contest, and those who have at this time a fairly good reserve should not think that they have the prizes cinehed, as con tegtant that keeps adding to her re- serve daily is the one that will win cut at the end.
 Do not let your friends put you off hy telling yOu that at the end of the contest more votes will be given than is in force at this time, for it is posi- lively stated that you never will re- eeive larger schedule than is now Tn force, and it is up te you to get every vote possible at this time
 The contest will positively close on the date and hour as advertised and will not be extended

 The buildings condemned and Ii L. ed as nuisances are small frame sheds and other outhouses. The courcil says the buildings are in violation of the city fire ordinances and are dan gclou& in addition to being unsightly
 The council refused to adopt an CT dinance extending the water mains on Oak etreet, from Sixth avenue to Eighth avenue, because S. C. Alex ander. who asked for the exten, ion and who ihas the street fenced in, has not opened the street CT deeded the property to the city. MT. Alexander, 1t was stated, is preparing to do this, but the council referred the ordinance back to the water and light commit tee until the deed is given over to the city.
 William Nichol M. Silbernagle and Clifton Howell, commissioners of the new paving district that includes the streets to the cemeteries, asked the council to re-establislh the grade on Cedar street that was fixed by w. J. Parkes, while city engineer. This re- quest was made by N J. Can't, attor- ney for the district, to enable the com miss,onors to build the bridge across the old ravlne on that street without having tG make fifteen inch fill at that point. City Engineer Allen in isted on a higher grade than the one fixed by Major Parkes, who lowered the grade as engineer of the paving district, in order to reduce the ex pense of the district in building the bridge. The commissioners stated that the district could save from $500 to $500 in the constructi9n Of the bridge if the Parkes' grade was adopted by the council There was some opposi- tion to the request, but the council voted to adopt the Parkes' grade and the commissioners will proceed with their work there.

COY. DONACHEY MAKES STATEMENT Says Call For Donaghey Meeting is to Counteract Bad Effect on Campaign. IS FOR STATEWIDE. &1ys He non't Want M. Hollands Vote
 tai >ays Saloon Men Are
 Not For Him.
IS FOR STATEWIDE x.

Little Rock, Ark, March 17th, 1872 Editor, Pine Bluff Daily Graphic
 Pine Bluff, Ark,
 Dear Sir
 In the issue of your paper of the 11th the following statemen, app ars in the news columns:
 Manager M. Holland of the Brook Hill hotel and saloon, last night an nounced that a Donaghey banquet would be given at his saloon on Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. All Don- aghey supporters are inyited to be present as Jefferson County Don aghey Club is to be organized MT. Holland says that the affair will be for the ente1.ainment of Donaghey y men only and added that champagne will be served during the banquet. Nr. Holland and other saloon men are beh nd the movement to organize a Domaghey Club in this city in aa effor. to revive enthusiasm for Gov. Donaghey in his campaign for re- election
 I assume that this move is made to counteract the bad effect on MT. Robinson's campaign, that the sa- looms of Pine Bluff have created ali over the state by advertising Mr Robinson fer Governor in the pla- cards they have posted on the mir TOTS and in the show windows of the saloons ill that city.
 Concerning the saloon men of the :tae, 1 have this to say. |I reiterats the statement r have heretofore made that l have always voted fer prohi- bition. I am in favor of proh bition. I expect 10 vote for Statewide pro- hibition when state wide bill is initiated. And whether elected Gov ernor again or not, I am gong to do everything in my power 70 put the saloons of Arkansas out of business. I wish to say further that the saloon men are not for me for Governor, and all claims that they are giving me their support are false and are intended to deceive.
 In conclusion I wish to say that know MT. Holland is not for me and I don't want him for me, and do not thar expect or want his vote or influence.
 Very truly yours,
 George w. Donaghey, AdW. Governor

Roanoke, Va, March 1S-Oll man Floyd Allen, the head of the Elua Ridge mountain dynasty which tried to enfore it's code by shooting down the officers of Ghe count where na was being tried, has turned e prayer d. q fe 3entancc. Iilje his forefathera fer , generation, Allan IS a member of the militant branch of q church known as Hard Shell Bap- tits's'' and their deep religious con- victions bend only to their tanets Of will without interference or molas- tation from any course.
 Dur ng last night old man Allsn severely wounded but closely guard ed, les, he kept his cath 70 take ais own life. rather than have an Allen put under restraint, prayed aloud in his cell. Today he asked to see 2 Baptist miniG,er. No person, not even a lawyer, has been allowed to see the old man or his son, Victor, since they Were brought to the jail here for safe keeping.
 The Rev. T. Claggett Skinner, pastor of ,he First Baptist church was informed of Aliens request and received permission 70 visit the pris- oner under pledge that ne would talk with him about spiritual mat ,ers only.
 ''I had to go through some prelim- inaries to get co see the prisoner sa d Mr. Skinner, such as giving up ny defensive Weaponss -of-wa}f fare, 8 pen knife and two pencils." l found MT. Allen guarded by watchman in side the cell and a policeman in the corridor He started to speak about the affair at EIillsyile, bWs l siopped him and told him cf my promise" ]" He then declared that he was thor oughly sorry and r9pentar,. and ti'at he had sought forgiveness for S wrong doing.'
 q ouo.ed for the penitent and ne locked at me with sharp eyes and said, T ought to have done like my wife told me to do long ago. 1 have n good wife"
 Az the request of the father, MT Skinner will endeavor to gain par- mission 70 visit the son in the jail here, but the young man had made no request to see a minister, as the prisoners have not been allowed to hold communication with each other, it is doubtful if Mir. Skinner will be granted perm ssion to zee the son who will know that he came by his fathers request@
 One of the most important develop ments of the day in the hunt of oth CT members of the Allen clan now defying the authorities in Devils ,den or eome other mountain fastnes' was the increase by Governor Mann of the amount of the reward for theH capture. dead or alive.
 First he raised the reward of each of the nine members of the band un- der indictment, but still at large, from S3n0 to $500. Later he increased the reward for Sidney Allen, the leader, and Sidney Edwards, his nephew, to $1 ,O00 each, making the total reward $550G
 Governor Mann decided not to call out troops at present. So far as the actual hunt for tho defiant members of the Allen efda is concerned, little or no prcgrers has been made since the battle in the court room last Thursday after which the Aliens rode out of town to the mountains.
