vorced Repentigny years ago, and
her stepfather, Albert Bouche, SO w.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS.

If there is one man whom the world daspises it is the anonymous letter writer. In recent weeks the Graphic ard many prominent business men of this city have been receiving anony- mCus letters, in which the writer or writers used cowardly terms and in- situations and would infer that he meaEt to threaten their lives because to exercise their rights as citizens to put into effect their honest convic- tiCns
 The anonymous letter writer is one who should nce be given any thought. One who is so cowardly and under handed as to write another person and express their narrow opinion, is too weak and lacks so much honor and character that he is not to be would stoop to anything. larceny and murder not excepted. One who would try and intimdate another with an expression to which he hasn't the courage to sign his name, is un- worthy of notice. He lives in fear oi hfs God and his brain is diseased to a Gerrce of nothingness.
 In recent weeks no less than fifty ANONYMOUS letters, it is sad, have been turned over to the Postoffice in spectors here and thorough lnvestl gation is being made. It is most like ly that some interesting development: will be recorded when the investiga tion ends.

Magazine, May S.-Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock, Willie Wise, who was employed as cook for a con- crete construction company doing work for the Rock Island lines at Magazine, was found dead, lying with his face downward between two be- cars. The other employees had left the cars and gone to their work. About 9{.o'clocla two of the men re- turned to the kitchen car for water, when they discovered the lifeless body cl Wise lying on the ground below one of the end entrances. Both rush. ed to his body, only to turn him ove- as he drew his last breath.
 4 coroner's jury was summoned by Mayor w. A. McNei1 which held an inquest and pronounced that from the evidence obtained Wise came to his death by falling from the end door of the box car. A gash was cut ever his left eye and it is thought that his neck must have been broken as Q result of the fall.

Hut has agreed to donate $100 to the fund. Several thousand dollars could be raised in this manner. After the required amount is secured the city council could name a park commission, to consist of five or seven men and wo- men of this city, who would have charge of the park and insure it's proper care.

THE CITY PARK.

The city government is ill no H. nancal condition at this time to pur- chase city park. The agitation of the hundreds who favor the estab- iishment of a suitable recreation and amusement ground for Pine Bluff adults and it's hundreds Of housed up children might as we'll shatter all hopes of having the city go further into debt in purchasing city park Tie Joint Park Committee, which was organized at an enthusiastic and largely attended meting held at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night, should devise some popular subscription plan for the success of their undertaking.
 A dollar campaign might be sug- se5ted If the proper committee IS seleeted by the Joint Park Committee and goes into the campaign with the right spirit the amount required to secure suitable city park for Pine Bluff can be raised.

Pine Bluff is soon to be the mecca for the Elks and Eagles from all over Arkansas. Fifteen hundred Elks will be here this months with many ladies to enjoy the annual festivities of the state organization of B. P. o. F.. s. Pine Bluff will be in holiday dress during the two days meeting.
 Mayor Simon Bloom is preparing to give the downtown and residential districts thorough cleaning, that they may present a most attractive and at least sanitary appearance.
 Every property owner in the city should cooperate with the city off cials in this direction. If every indi- vidual gives his premises good cleaning there will be no unsightly places while the visitors are ill town.
 It ought not to be necessary to have to call the attention of our people to Pine Bluffs neglect. The weeds ought to be cut and kept trimmed and prl- vate places should present neat and clean appearance all the year round. The sanitary condition of Pine Bluff is good, but it cannot be maintained during the summer months unless the people aid in keeping it healthy. Let every Pine Bluffian take pride in his home city and make it beauti- l ful during the conventions that are i to come soon.
