 They mailed postcards in hug2 stacks" said Mr. Means, who was here yesterday morning. "They handed me a batch about this high (measu, ing with his hands about six inches) and asked me to mail them. I notice d they were all postcards bearing views O. Pine Bluff. That was a pretty good idea-to give them postcards, and will result in Pine Bluff receiving considerable good advertising"

 Ladies of the local shrine had pre- pared punch and other refreshments for the visitors, and these, with cigars, were enjoyed while visitors and home folk "got acquainted" The train remained here a half hour only, but much good feeling was engendered in that short time. When the train departed it took not only the Shreve- port delegation, but also the follow ing party of Pine Bluff folk, who will attend the Buffalo conventions:
 Rev J. I. Norris, potentate of Sahara temple; Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Higinbotham, R. E. Allcorn of Lake Village, sheriff of Chicot county; Roane Bell and T. M. Hooker.

You can keep your skin free from hair or fuzz by the occasional use of plain delatone and in using it you need have no fear of marring or injuring the skin. A thick paste is made by mixing some of the powdered dela- tone with water. Then spread on the hairs and after 2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and all traces of hair have vanished. Be careful, however, to get real delatone. (Advt.)
