BIG DOTNGs TODAY

Enthusiasm in it's highest state coud fairly be seen yesterday after noon in the atmosphere around the Union station when the special train bearing the Arkansas delegation left at o'clock bound for Fort Worth Texas, where the National Feeders and Breeders Horse Show and Fat Stock exhibition will De attended.
 With the waving of many handker- chiefs, hats. etc, and with many cheers and yells the members 10 the delegation slowly pulled out from the city and rounded the curve on a long and tiresome journey the fruits of which will be reaped for years to come.
 The train was 8 magnificent one composed of six cars, ircluding a din-t er and baggage car, and the Ark ansans will arrive in Fort Worth in style Many of them will return about Saturday, while others will finger in the southern cities for some time
 While in Fort Worth the Arkansas party, which was composed of about - or SD prominent people from this and neighboring cities, will be roy ally entertained and the Fort Worth people will leave nothing undone for their enjoyment
 They will arrive in he Texas City this morning about 7.30 o'clock, and will immediately form line of pa rade and march to the hotel, headed by Col W c. Cargill and Peter Win ter. who will be the official Arkansas standard bearer.
 Today has been designated as Ar kansas Day" at the exhibition and an other parade will be held later on, perhaps this afternoon This parade will also be headed by Col Wm. c. i Fort Worth's most prominent citizens, and who is booster of wide reputa ton. Peter Winter, the successful hillside farmer. will carry the Ark ansas state flag. the first to be made from the original which was design ed by Miss Willie Hooker of this city and which was recently adopted by l the General Assembly This beautiful banner was carefully placed on the train yesterday afternoon by Wallace Hubert, assistant secretary ot the Chamber of Commerce and is now in 1 the personal charge of Secretary H. l c. Spaulding, who had it made and to whom much credit must be given for l the success of the project.
 Pine Bluff has labored long and i hard 10 secure the special train for i the trip and the members of the ] Chamber of Commerce., Secretary Ii, l q. Spaulding' and R. T Louthan es- pecially, are to commended for their excellent work
 It is thought that rhe amount of advertisement to be received by this state and by this community especial Iy will by far more than pay for the expense of the trip and that every one in this county and the surrounding counties will receive benefits from it for several years to come. The men from this city went 10 Fort Worth for a purpose. They went there to ad- vertise Pine Bluff, Jefferson county and Arkansas in general.
 While there they will tell the large number of people gathered to attend this magnificent affair of the many glorious opportunities that await them ! in Arkansas and of the many enter prises which. if they should invest their capital in, would return profits ren-fold. Texas men gre "live-wires and are always looking for something new, especially when they will bene- fiji by the change, so IT is very likely that many of them will settle in this state in the near future, as result of the Fort Worth trip.
 The great show will end Saturday and it is thought that the majority of
 the Arkansans will return on that
 day or Sunday. although number
 will spend several weeks in the Tex
 as cities.
