Efficiency, the WatchWOrd of
Pine Bluffs Fire Department

Immediately locate a telephone, which
becomes at once a part of the sys-
tenn. "Central is notified, and the
central fire station given the infor

horses to their posts, and they are
off. In case the fire threatens to be
larger than one crew can successfully
combat, the crew from the next near
est Of the three stations is summoned.
The auto apparatus from the CEN
trail station answers every alarm be-
cause of it's speed and ability to
travel long distances without becom-
ing "winded." The miles Of paved
street make for quick response to
all alarms, and once on the scene, the
firemen make short work of extingu-
ishing the blaze. The only disastrous
fires Pine Bluff has suffered have been
those that have gained great head
way before discovery and department
was notified.
Water trouble is unknown in Pine

Nearly All Denominations
Represented Among Con-
gregations Having Very
Handsome Buildings.
(By V. o. Alexander)


The city of Pine Bluff is well sup
piled with churches, all denominations
being we'll represented and the
churches are nicely distributed over
the city, 81 every one can find a place
to worship, conveniently located near
his home.
There are four Methodist Episcopal
churches The First Methodist, the
Oldest, is situated on the corner. of
Sixth and Main. They have large
membership and flourishing Sunday
school. The Lakeside Methodist, stu
ated at Fifteenth and Laurel, is one
of the handsomest church buildings in
the state. It is new and up-to-date
building with. all modern improve
ments. The Hawley Memorial, stu
ated in the southwestern part of the
city, while not so imposing a structure,
is doing a wonderful work and increas-
ing in membership rapidly. The Carr
Memorial, named after that grand old
man, Bro. John F. Carr, whom every
body of every denomination loved, is
situated in the southeastern part of
the city and is doing good work in it's
neighborhood.
Baptists.
The Baptists have three churches
and a mission. The First Baptist
church, one of the handsomest church
edifices in the city, is situated on the
corner of Sixth and Cherry. 1t also
has in connection with the church the
handsome Ross Moore Sabbath school
buildin. built in memory of the Rev.
Ross Moore, who served this church
for several years and gave his life
for the church. He was dearly loved
by all denominations. This church has
grown rapidly and is still growing and
doing fine work. The Ohio Street
Baptist, situated on Sixth and Ohio
in the eastern part of Pine Bluff, is a
handsome building and has a large
and growing membership and flour
ishing Sabbath school. The Hazel
Street Baptist is situated on South
Hazel street. While it's membership
is not so large as that Of the others, it
is growing and promises to rival the
others at no very distant day. The
Mission Baptist church, situated on
Twenty fifth and Beech, is a new

STANDARD LUMBER
COMPANY SUCCEEDS

The Standard Lumber company,
which has taken over the plant and
business of the J. w. Sanders mill,
was organized in the early part CT
1916 with r. Carnahan, formerly of
Louisville, Ky, as president, w. c.
Hudson as vice president, and E. H.
Ellsbury as secretary treasurer and
manager.
Mr.. Carnahan has two big hardwood
mills, and large land and timber in
terests in Arkansas, giving this COM
pany exceptional facilities for, pro-
curing raw material.
Mr.. Ellsbury was connected with J.
W. Sanders for Is years, and his long
experience equips him to serve salts
factorily the patrons of the mill He
has broard acquaintance among the
people of this section, and his repu-
tation for giving orders careful at
tenton is factor in the growing
business Of the Standard company,
which has recently executed some of
the largest contracts for mill work
ever handled in the state.

CROPS WORTH 1928
FROM TWO ACRES

]. J. Hudgins has made a record on
two acres of hill land this season.
Lands like these two acres can be
purchased for from 500 to $35 an

to market. Mr.. Hudges planted these
two acres two wheat last winter, pas
turing his stock there until April; when
he turned the land under ten-inches
deep, and planter his cotton He has
alread sold two bales from the two

condition is attributed almost entire

The city has not yet installed fire

usually proves satisfactory. When it
does not, it is not because of amy
fault with the method but because of
the fact that it is sometimes difficult
