to secure rights of way for a dia-

The only bridges Of any size which
would be required are those over the
Alamo river and the East Side canal.
Foundations for n bridge over the
Colorado river have just been start

from q few feet TO fifty feet wide,
running almost at right angles TO
the railroad alignment. These washes
are from few inches TO TWO feet or
more In depth. Most o. them are
from ten TO twenty-five feet wide.

ern Pacific railroad has culvertS

to he bdilt along the railroad it
should be located on the southwest
side. because the railroad concen-

channels.

It is compliment to the bankers of the city and Pine Bluff that is appreciated. An dthe honor is well-deserved by MT.

Pine Bluff bankers have been active in all movements tending to better ccndi- tions of this section and it's people. Their efforts since the outbreak or the European war especially have been energetic. They are devoting tlieir inc, talent and money in the attempt to increase the productive ness of the soil and the prosperity of the people. In all this work, none has been more prominent that MT.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Commenting upon the 4oth gener- al assembly, the Little Rock Ga zette says:
 Another Arkansas legislature has gone into history and throughout the state complaints and criticisms simi- lar to those usually heard may be heard today. Most of these com plaints and criticisms arise rom conditions not properly chargeable to the legislators and the same com plaints and criticisms no doubt will arise concerning future legislatures unless there are some changes in the system.
 The amount of time consumed in disposing of local legislation gives ground for much of the criticism. The voters rather than the legislators are responsible for the local legislation and time will be wasted on loca bills until some legislature passes tue few general laws necessary to ellm' nate about nine-tenths of the local

TINE BLUFF ROGRESS

DIR. JUNIUS JORDAN,
MAKER OF MEN.

Dr. Junius Jordan is fully entitled to the great honor paid him last night by men of affairs who were cnce his pupils. And the men who arranged the banquet as demon- stration of their affection and re- spect for and appreciation of Dr. Jordan indicated that the seeds of wisdom, knowledge and courtesy he sought to implant in their youthful minds and hearts had not fallen on barren ground.
 How much better; how kindlier to make this demonstration now? It is gratifying for one to feel that his memory will always be revered, but if man is worthy of reverence. far better is it to show this reverence while he may derive pleasure and satisfaction therefrom-a pleasure and satisfaction to which he is en- titled.
 Dr. Jordan has exerted a great in- fluence for good in this community, for few of the men prominent in the life of Pine Bluff of today were not at one time students at the Jordan academy. Many Jordan Academy boys are in other towns and cities, where they have become recognized as men of ability. force and charac- ter. Summing up, it is easy to see that the Jordan influence for good is not limited to Pine Bluff and Jef- ferson county.
 Dr. Jordan is aptly referred to as "Pine Bluffs grand old man.. and though his heart is apparently as young today ss it was quarter or a century ago. his mind as keen as ever and the physical man only iit- tle less active then when he was wont to wield ruler with refractory boys, the honorable appellation ap- plies. He is a man to be proud or man the city loves and respects and a man entitled to the place ne holds in the esteem of his fellows.
 In paying it's tribute to Dr. Jordan amaker of men," The Graphic desires to compliment the "boys' who are so wise. so considerate as to show ad- herence to the belief that it is good to "give the flowers now"

legislation which now posters each legislature. With this elimination
 the legislators will have, in the 60
 days allowed, more than enough time
 to carefully consider the bills that come before the average session.
 An ever present source of trouble
 in our legislature is politics and prob
 ably all future legislatures will have to contend with this same trouble
 Other trouble makers are petty jealousies and ignorance. But in spite of the criticism the fact re- mains that the 10th general assemp- ly has been as good as the best in the past several years and better than several. It contained some splendid men who worked for the best interest of the state and it con- tained several who were unable to counties and beyond their personal feeling and their own interests.
 The 10th general assembly has justified the wisdom of the people in limiting the sessions to 60 days, has the urgent need of re- forms that will eliminate local legis- lation and has again emphasized the fact that more big men are needed in the legislature, though all of us know that when big men serve as legislators they do so at a sacrifice.
 The Graphic coincides with this view, and would add naught save that it is to be regretted that the 10th general assembly was unable to make greater progress toward the elimina- tion of local legislation, which re- quires about nine-tenths of the time of a legislative session.

Roman Custom.

It was a custom even among the comparatively modern Romans to bury with their little children their favorite toys, and the custom seems to reach back. to the earliest times of which we have any t:uthworthy relics. In. deed, in our own day, the doll fur nishes a striking example of that most primitive trait, mother instinct for among mary savage tribes, nota' bly, tho Bechuanas and the Basutos, 1t Is the custom for married women to lavish their pentNp mother love upon rude dolls until the advent of their offspring.

CHAPTER ii.


 Now faith is the substance Of things not seen.
 Z. For by i. the elders obtained ~ good report
 3. Through faith we understand that t worlds were framed by the word of God, SO that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he , was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead ye, speaketh.
 ,. By faith EnocM was translated that he should nat see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his trans lation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
 6. But without faith it is impos- sible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, aud that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
 Y. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. S.. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into place which he should after receive for an inheritance, os~yed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. g. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as ill a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacobs, the heirs with him of the same promise:
 10. For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
 II. Through faith also Sara her. self received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of child when she was past age, because she judged him faitnful who had prom1s- ed. 12. Therefore sprang there even so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea short innumerable.
 13. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth IA. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek 8 country. 15. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have re- | turned.
 ] 16. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: l wherefore God is, not ashamed to be l called their God: for he hath prepar- | ed for them a city. .
 IT, By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offer. ed up his only Aegotten son.

Sounded Funny.

The following true story gives a de. iightful glimpse of a very little child. The baby, who was just beginning to prattle, was taken to walk in an or. chard where some bantams were turned loose. One perky little bird stood right in the child's path, craned his neck and uttered shrill "Cock-a, doodle-doo." The little girl bent down her head so as to be as near the level of the bird as possible and then hsped in the moet pleading voice: "Pleath will you thay that adain?"
