TN INE BLUFF EOGRESS
 ROSPERITY
DISASTER WITHOUT SUFFERING.


 Although Pine Bluff was yesterday visited by fire that caused loss of approximate sly $1,250,000, it will not entail the suffering that is usually caused by a disaster of such scops, andand there will be nc cessation oi work at the compress of the Pine Bluff Compress company, where the firs occurred.
 The local company's less is partial ly covered by insurance, and the fact that the compress proper was not h. iured and that the season is early enables the compress to continue operations.
 Every bale of cotton that was burned CT damaged was fully insur- ,.d, ard w.ll be paid for by the in surance ccmpaniss a. prices prevail ing at the close of tn, market Satur- da The market closed up, which is a bit of gcod fortune for those who owned the cotton.
 While the less is to be regretted. it is gratifying to know that it will not fall upon poar people, but upon those who gre best able to bear it.
 Pins Bluff will not be affected by the fire.
