The clubs grounds cover SO acres,
and a nine-hole golf courhe has been
CONSTRUCTED thereon, the advice OF a
number of golf experts from several
points having been obtained before the
course was built. AS a result, the
course is admitted one of the best and
most handsome in this section. A
handsome lawn has also been laid out
to the front of the clubhouse, with
flower beds at advantageous points.
Tennis courts are to be erected also,
during the summer. From the new
Cherry street road, work on which is

The Pine Bluff Golf and Country
club, which is the successor to the
Pine Bluff Golf club, has a member
ship limited to 1876, which membership
is now filled. A waiting list already
is quite lengthy, because of the build
ing of the handsome home, and the
great strides achieved by the club
under the leadership of the president,
Harry E. Trulock and secretary, A. R.
Cooper. Mr.. Trulock and the other
officers of the club were recipients of
warm congratulations yesterday over
the successful termination of their
endeavors for the establishment of a
country club in Pine Bluff.
