The Merrill Institute presented ths

The Merrill Institute presented the appearance of being in the country.
 Now, that portion of Main street is probably the most valuable part of the city, and is lined with the busi- ness homes of prosperous merchants.
 The population then was, perhaps, 12,000, more than half being negroes; now, 26,000. with less than half of the negro race, would be a conserva- tive computation.
 Then, the streets were more or less country roads; now, they are brill liantly lighted avenues. and gradually becoming so crowded with traffic that it is question of but short time ere there is actual necessity for at least three traffic cops dur ng certain hours of the day.
 These are but the palmer eviden- ces of Pine Bluffs miraculous growth. There are other signs too numerous to mention, such as considerable for tunes made from the holding of real estate, the larger stocks carried by the merchants, the increasing devel- opment of the public utilities com panies, all going to establish, beyond the shadow of doub, that Pine Fluff has doubted, yes, t1sbbled it's importance as a city during the last decade.
 This is a record that has not been reached even by the mushroom grow tn of some of the western cities. True, some of these towns of the west that spring up in a night may show this temporary leap, but if trey come into being in a day, so also. do they drop from the map within a week.
 With Pine Bluff. tho, there is no reaction, no chance for the bottom to fall out, because there has been no wind in it's makings, no "hot air" in it's formation. It is solid from its peanut stand to it's best bank, and it cannot collapse. And right now Pine Bluff is on the upward flight. It is stretching itself like a lusty youth, trying his muscles, pleased and con- fident with what he finds in their f]exibility, and strength, and assured that what he reaches for and touches, he can bend and master to his own dominion.

WORTH REMEMBERING.
PINE BLUFFS SPLENDID
 PROGRESS.

Many cities have grown and devel' oped during the past ten years, but 1t is doubtful If the best of them has oqualled Pine Bluff. Some will show a greater proportionate increase in population, but this is due to the pad ding process of taking in wide stret- ches of country for no other purpose except to swell the number of inhabit- ants for advertising reasons. Oth- CTS may point to @ superior propor' tionate building rate, but when anal yzed, 1t will be found that this is due to the erection of one or more build ings of the office or hotel class, cost ing large sums and erected to meet some condition peculiar to a special need rather than a universa. demand.
 With Pine Bluff, however. the growth has been steady, stable and universally persistent. There has been no wild boom, no beating of tinpans, producing the hollow noise that attracts the curious and the use less, and no mouthings of real estate men, selling "hot air" to innocent victims.
 On the contrary, progress has come because it would not be denied. Prosperity is here, because wealth is inherent in the country; because, like the small boy who has sprung from the knickerbocker period into fill fledged robust and developing youth, so with Pine Bluff, the years have simply put on the natural splen. did increase that is due to come from it's very birthright. Naturally. as the boy needs training to properly deve' lop his growth, so has Pine Bluff and it's natural resources required the guiding hand. And it has received this guide from the wisdom of its citizens, so excellently administered that an examination proves that the town stands almost without rival for the rank of first place in urban development.
 Some nine years ago the writer had occasion to notice the bank depo' sits of Pine Bluff. They were then in the neighborhood of $5,Oo0,000.
 Today. these deposits will reach within few dollars of $1o,oOo.o0o.
 Then. the Hotel Pines was not built.
