A New Corners Impressions of
Washington.

The cartoonists and the wide-backed
geography of the stone cruise age are
directly responsible. The cute little
folders issued by the railroad companies
when summer traffic slumps also had
something to do with the case.
At any rate I had always pictured
Washington as consisting principally OF
marble steps and pillars with an Uncle
Sam person conspicuously in the fore
ground. 1 had expected to find the ban
ner of freedom floating proudly from
every door and roof, small boys reading
up on the Constitution instead of playing
marbles, a band on every corner play
ing "America"-an open-alI-year Fourth
of July celebration before this safe and
sane idea came along.

as I boarded car. 1t is like the Cali

out in all sorts of unexpected places.
And when the newcomer trots out all

Architectural beauties that sordid

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE United States

So said John Barrett, director-gen-

former minister to Argentina and

Here are some Of the consequences

open rupture with Mexico.
A long, cruel guerilla war calling
for an army of occupation of at least
100000 men.
Daily expenditure of one million
dollars a day for thousands Of days.
A new pension list of one million

EARLY DAYS OF
THE BAPTIST CHURCH
F. G.. Smith, Old Resident, Reviews
Some It's Early History In
Pine Bluff,

Quite bit of interesting history OF
the Baptist Church, oen of the oldest
organizations of Pine Bluff, was given
yesterday to a representative of The
IGraphic, by F. G. Smith, who is also
one of the oldest residents of this
city. His memory Of things in Pine
Bluff tells of progress that has been
made since those days. not only in
church history, but in other progress
sive lines. Recalling the earlier his
tory of the church, Mr.. Smith said,
when I first came to Pine Bluff in
1851, there were only two churches of
any kind, the Methodist and Catholic.
About 1853 man named Collier cont
tracted with the Baptists to build
small frame church, but in those
early days the congregation was SO
small that they coul dnot raise the
necessary funds, and the church was
mysteriously burned.
Afterwards they built brick
church, about 40 by 60 feet, with
single roof. upholstered and with
rough seats. on the corner of Barra-
que and sO,ive streets, where wagon
yard now stands.
"This building General Powell
Clayton used during the war as bar
racks for the 18th Illinois Regiment
Later Mayor Reynolds revived the
church with Rev. Lee in charge. The
church consisted then of about Is
members. Mr.. Reynolds got up a
committee and sold the property on
Barraque street and bought the pres
emit site at Sixth and Cherry, a frame
church was erected there. From this
small beginning came the Baptist
church Of today. "
Il think there are many old resi-
dents in this city who will enjoy re-
calling these early days in Pine Bluff
history
