It is difficult to understand how there can be any opposition at all to any practical plan to prevent the flooding of big part of Pine Bluff whenever tEe river rises out of it's hanks. There's property in town that may not be directly benefited by tine improvement, but there is no one that will not derive indirect benefit. But even if there were, few people will refuse to bear porti2n of the cost of work that will save life and property.
 In Sundays issue of The Graphic we declared that Pine Bluff people "are the biggest-hearted, kindliest, most generous folk in the country, when it comes to giving" They are making good again by the generous and liberal response to appeals in behalf of the flaod sufferers.

 ROsPERITY
UNCALLED FOR CRITICISM.

The publication yesterday of a "card" bearing tha signatures of forty residents of East Pine Bluff, and which casts aspersions on some members Of the committee was -un- wlse, as wsll as "uncomplimentary and uncaiied for" as 5. c. Alexander states in his letter giving notice that he will not serve. As East Pine Bluff will derive the greatest bsnsfit from tie proposed improvement, tc, be paid fOr-if made at all-by the entire c,ty, tha residents of that part of the city should be found working with advocates of remedy
 No plan has been adopted; none will be adopted until tte prcblem has bs en thoroughly threshed out. There will be no attempt to run anything over" anybody. The people who are working hardest for the improvement. are the people who are least affected hy the flooding of part of Pine Bluff. Yet they are willing to give their ,,ime and their money pro bono publico. They will derive indirect benefit, because all residents are interested in improving health con ditions.
 Places on the coumittee were not sought by anyone, and it is unfair and unjust to the gentlemen placed thereon to be subjected to criticism. They were actuated by patriotic desire to aid their neighbors of Eas, Pine Bluff, and should receive the thanks of the community for under taking an ardous task.
 It is difficult to believe that the signers of the "card" fully realized the import of their action and it's significance; it is difficult not to be. Leve that they have been misled.
 The public will be kept fully ad, vised of every phase cf the situation and there is no cause for apprehen. SfSll tHdt thStc IS ally nut tue ulOS' patriotic motive actuating those seeking this great improvement.

DON'T FORGET THE WIFE.

If all the blows, harrows, mowers, binders. wagons, rakes, buggies, fence posts, barbed wire and other useful farm Implements that are lying in rust in the farm yards Of Jefferson county could suddenly be turned into the money they cost how much do you suppose o-uld be spared fois. the farm women of the county with which to purchase necessity appur,- enahces fer the farm hcme? HOW IT any improvements would it make ili Ter kitchen? HOW many nice things would it buy for the house?
 The average farmer is inclined to spend his surplus cash on lands, ma chinery and outside things; not that these things are not necessary. but his wife and family are justly entitl- ed to part of the surplus cash. They are partners in the business.
 The next time you have two or three thousand dollar surplus, or a NWS OI tAlCC uuuutNu uolldI out PiuS, hand a slice of it to your wife and tell her how you appreciate all the hard work she has done about the place during the year and that she now has an opportunity to make use of the money as she sess fit.
 Tsn to one she will know how to spend it to increase the value of your home life to you: and she will be buying what she has been pining for for some time.
