PINE BLUFF PLAYING NOBLE PART.

Pine Bluff people are certainly talk ing noble part in the work to raise $100,000,000 for Red Cross relief work. Hundreds of business men have prac- tically dropped their own affairs, ami are devoting almost their entire time to the Red Cross campaign. The wo- men are no less active, and are bear ing their full share of the great work they initiated. y g,
 The colored people, too, are indi eating they have heard the cries 'r behalf of the maimed, the dying. They are giving as generct tsly as their means will permit. That is all that is asked in behalf of the Red Cross.
 Never have the city and county been aroused to the need of relief as they are now, and never have the people thrown themselves more whole heartedly, unselfishly into any duty than they have into the Red Cross campaign.
 Pine Bluff is ahead of Memphis, !Wlich has been assessed $100,000, and of all other cities, according to reports last night.
 The campaign is worthy under taking that is being nobly carried out
 Besides the good these funds will do, Pine Bluff will benefit from this campaign ill another way. Our peo- pie will experience the satisfaction derived from the doing of good deeds and the lesson they have learned will rebound to our good later.
 What is this lesson? It is that nothing is beyond the people of Pine Bluff when they put their hearts and minds into it, taboo individualism and work together for the good of the whole.
