NO ROOM FOR VAGS:
 MUST PAY $1O FINE

There is no room in Pine Buff for vagrants, white or black. They must
 work of their own accord, pay a fine for not doing so, or work the fine out on the streets, where they will be required to give a quid pro quo for the $1O which is the minimum fine.
 This is the slogan of Police Judge J. B. Stewart, who presides over the police court when court is in session. Judge Stewart holds to the opinion that all good, law abiding citizens are willing to keep themselves out of the vagrancy class. He has had goodly number of vagrants up be- fore him this year, and imposed a fine of $10 in every case when the charge was established. Yesterday morning he had two negroes before him on similar charge and as the police made their cases the negroes, were fined $1O each. '4 ,l A negro, Will Thomas, who was with crowd of craps shooters ar rested Sunday morning by Officers Nayberry, Brown and Williamson, was fined $50 for carrying concealed weapon. He was fined $l0 Monday morning for gaming.

INTEREST IS PAID
 ON METER DEPOSITS

More than 2,00O housewives of Pine Bluff, proprietors of restaurants, cafes, hotels, and owners of indus trial plants were members of big surprise party given by the Arkansas Natural Gas company yesterday. This surprise party put goodly sum of Uncle Sam's currency into local cir culation, which goes to help local trade.
 The occasion for all this was the distribubution of the interest on mon eys paid for meter rent, when the gas meters were installed. Tho interest is at the rate of per cent. per annum. Some of the meters were installed in 1911, and interest has been paid to number of patrons who called at the office for same. but recently the company decided to send it out in checks from the Little Rock office. Hence, in the future all interest will be paid by checks sent through the mail.
 The local office was unable to ap. proximate the amount paid out of the interest fund, nor the amount written in any one of the checks. The de- posit made for domestic meters is $5 and for hotels and cafes as high as $50.
