Music, Addresses and Pa triotic Themes the Out
 standing Features.

The feature of the big liberty Loan Rally staged by the Railway men of Pine Bluff was the mammoth parade which started from Main and Barraque streets at 8 o'clock. Over $500 persons were in the parade. The line extended from the court house at the head of main street prac- tically to the Tabernacle ten blocks away It was the largest demonstra- tion ever witnessed in Pine Bluff.
 The float with number of bells commandeered from various railway locomotives also attracted attention and was a very novel feature! Many other features were noticed and ob served by the hundreds of citizens who packed each side of Main street for the ten block and the majority fell in behind the marches and at tended the ''rally" at the Tabernacle. This rally also proved to be a hum mer' from the first tap of the gong until the last patriotic song was rem dered. The Camp Pike military band music during intermissions at the Tabernacle.
 Many high officials of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway were in at tendance and delivered stirring ad- dresses in keeping with the occasion.
 It was stirtly Railroad Peoples" rally but hundreds of citizens attend- ed.
 The orators and musical artists did themselves pround and to give the individuals credit where credit is due would consume more space than the writer is allowed.
 However, he Mil editorialize to this evxtent and assert that that the demonstration Monday evening was an "eye opener" and for any one who fails to appreciate the tremendous loyalty and patriotism of a railway man or employe shows an utter lack of knowledge or intelligence.
 The Cotton Belt Shops employees have "gone away over their assigned quota and are still going in the Fourth Liberty Loan drive. The em- ployes of the Missouri Pacific and of the Louisiana and Arkansas Roads whd participated in the mammoth parade and rally last night also dem- onstrate the fact that the railway frat ernity is ill the front ranks of the patriots.
 The complete program rendered at the tabernacle last evening follows and space forbids a comprehensive write up of the stirring, tremendous and wholehearted demonstrations possibly the greatest in the history of Pine Bluff:
