HOUSE-HUNTING
 GOOD SPORT HERE
That Is, If You Hunt a Small Place in Good Con
 dition for Sport Only.

Have you been house-hunting re- gently?
 Are you looking about for neat, modern, four or fiye-roOm house, in good condition, with water, bathroom, gas, electric lights, etc.?
 Have you found many such vacant?
 Don't all talk at once, because anybody who has been making such search knows without being told, that vacant houses answering such description are few and far between in Pine Bluff.
 There are quite number of va cant dwelling houses in Pine Bluff lots of cottages and small houses and big houses-and many of these have the modern conveniences. Most Of tho vacant houses of the four and five room varietty, however, have some defect in an essential feature there is no gas, or no bath, or the house is too far out, or the condition of the house is bad. This latter de- i feet is the most serious cause of most of the vacant houses being emp | ty. according to the best information obtainable the past few days, by a ] couple of house hunters.
 Pine Bluff people are great believ- CTS in the proposition of owning your own home," as is evidenced by the many homes recently built and now in course of construction bJ families of what might be called the middle class-families whose capita is rather small but who are not aD' solutely dependent upon the weekly or monthly pay envelope. The out skirts of the city are crowded, in ef feet, with such little homes, comfort able. handsome, well-equipned ant well-furnished houses, each with its lawn or flower garden, and each witt it's vegetable garden and chicken yart and barn in the rear.
 Houses of that same class. however with the conveniences now demande' everywhere and by everybody houses in good condition where tht renter might feel disposed to stay # while" and plant garden and estab fish a poultry harem-are difficult tt find, despite diligent and pains-tak r ing search.
