MAKE MUCH HEADWAY
ON CREDIT FILINGS

The new credit system which has
been installed by the merchants OF
Pine Bluff at the Chamber of Com
merce whereby index cards give the
rating of those seeking credit, has so
far progressed that over 5000 names
have been listed.
New lists are being sent in each
day and the task of filing them on in
dex cards in typewrittn form Is quite
a task as some Of the credit lists mer-
chants send in number over 1000
names. 1t is expected that in the
course of the next month or six weeks
that the lists will be entirely complete
and after that time it will be a matter
of but few moments to learn just
what the standing Of a person is. The
credit trade is divided into four
classes, good and prompt, good, but
slow, slow and uncertain, and lastly
no good.

Orders Mt Camden.

Train No. 3, southbound, manned by
Engineer Eighme and Conductor }.
F. Stewart, received orders from OPP
orator Cunningham at Camden. 1t is
said the order was plainly written
with no mistakes and ordered the pas
senger trains to meet at Miner. Engi-
neer Eighme for some reason misread
the order to say Mcneil, and he passed
Miner. About two miles beyond Mil
ner No. 8 came in sight of No. g.
Southbound No. pulled nine cars
and going up grade was able to come
to a quick stop, but the matter was
not SO easy for No. 6, although there
were but four cars attached to the
engine. This train was running down
grade at the time.
Shortly after the near collision, En-
ggineer Eighme informed Cotton Belt
officials that he was in the wrong, as
he had misread the train orders and
went on toward Mcneil when he
should have stopped at Miner, fol
which place No. 6 had orders to stop
Engineer Bond on account of his fal
down the 2O-foot embankment was
disabled and the train was brough
to Pine Bluff by Engineer Mcclure.

Governor Hays is trying to interest
the people of Arkansas in state
building at the Panama exposition to
he held soon in San Francisco. He
has called meeting Of interested Ar
kansans for February IL, in Little
Rock, to devise ways and means for
financing a building and a suitable
exhibit from this state at what prom
ises to be the greatest exposition the
world has ever seen. Arkansas re-
sources should be properly exhibited
to the people of all nations who will
visit the exposition and if the legisla-
ture has failed to make an appropria
ton for that purpose, the people
should see to it that the state is not
one of few or the only one to be con-
spicuous for it's absence on that oc
casion.

LAXATIVE FOX OLD

Get a 10-cent box now.
Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people tc
walk slowly. For age is never So
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets
One might as weel refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for, harsh
physics. Your may occasionally whip
the bowels into activity. But lash
can't be used every day. What the
bowels of the old need is a gentle
and natural tonic. One that can be
constantly used without harm. The
only such tonic is Cascarets, and
they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store. They work while
you sleep.

Worry Has a Value,

There must be way of taking
worry rightly, SO that 1t shall do US
good and not harm. Worry, rightly
taken, should train to quietness, hui
mility, patience, gentleness, sympa-
thy. It ought not to eventuate (though
it naturally does) in making others
suffer because we are uncomfortab BILE,
in making us source of painful worry
to others because we are worried our
selves.-A. H. K. Boyd.

so many branches Of agriculture are

The education of our children Is
never out of my mind. Train them to
virtue, habituate them to industry, &C.

manly. Fire them with ambition to
be useful. Make them disdain to be
destitute of any useful knowledge

PINE BLUFF SHOULD HAVE II


appearing in the Arkansas Gazette
of January s, is well worth con-
sideration by all Pine Bluffians. The
Iowa gentleman now visiting Hot
Springs is, in his conclusions, only
voicing the sentiments of every wide
awake enterprising person that re-
sdies in any community that is being
operated by the Commission Form
of Government. Until the good
q 4 enship of Pine Bluff wakes up to
a Relation that it is fact that the
handling of Pine Bluffs affairs is
their affair theyS. need not expect
Pine Bluff to be the wide-awake-
progressive city it deserves to be.
RIGHT NOW is THE TIME for all
Pine Bluff to commence to formulate
meeting in Little Rock in January.

in order to permit the adoption OF the
COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERN
MENTs for this city. THE GRAPHIC
will be glad to afford it's space to
Pine Bluffians covering suggestions
in the matter. The Chamber of
Commerce and The Young Mems
Progressive League can do inesti-
mable good to Pine Bluff by inter-
esting it's membership in the work.

Hot Springs. Jan. S.---That every
city in Arkansas would increase in
population, thrive in business and
enjoy an ideal community spirit" if
the people only would awaken to the
good results guaranteed by COM

assertion of R. H. Marquis, a real
estate dealer of Des Moi1es, Ia, who
is passing his annual winters vaca-
ton here.
MIR. Marquis has been coming to
Hot Springs for the last eight years.
Being in the real estate BUSINESS,
values interest him, and he gets
pleasure Investigating civic condi-

city ideal.
Points to Achievements
AS an object lesson he proudly
points to what Des Moines has AZ.
complished in eight years under
commission government. While here
he has been interesting officials OF
the Business Mems League AID lead
ing citizens to revive campaign to
adopt the commission form of gov
eminent.
Mr.. Marquis seemed to regret the
present lack Of public spirit existing
here. He suggested the people
! "wakeup" and put little lift in the
town. He condemned the sanitary
condition of the city, especially the
condition of the streets. These, he
said, were a disgrace to a city.

Eight years ago we decided to try
