weeks a Half Century Historical Ed
ton, showing the growth and general
DEVELOPMENT and progress of -Jeffer-
son county and Pine Bluff since 1866,
with the view of stimulating the peo-
pie to accomplish greater things in the
future. and for the purpose of aiding
in this accomplishment by showing the
outside world what we have here and
what the man who has money and
brains can do if he will cast his lot
with us.
This Half Century Historical Edi-
ton, arrangements for which are IN
charge of A. J. McGehee, will give the
history of jefferson county and Pine
Bluff from the beginning, but will es-
pecially stress the development during
the last so years, showing how little
our people had in 1866 when they re-
turned from the civil war to begin
building again, and how much has
been accomplished up to 1916.
The purpose is to show When. How
and Why the people of this county
caught step in the wonderful march
of American progress and outstrlpped
communities less favored with Nat
ural Advantages and the Spirit of
Progress among their people. This,
with the view Of encouraging our
citizenship to strive even more earn
estJv in the future and Of inducing
other worthy people to locate in JEFF
ferson and profit through aiding in
the development of country and city.
The Graphic has already been as
surred of the cooperation of a suffi-
cient number of prominent citizens
and business enterprises to insure the
success of the edition: to make GER
tain that it will be a number that will
be in demand at home and abroad,
