) Pine Bluff, Oct. 28. —A big
' deal which has been in progress
several months was consummat
ed today when 6,500 acres of
timber land in Grant, Dallas and
\ Cleveland counties were sold to
\ Russell E. Gardner of St. Louis,
one of the largest manufactur
ers of buggies in the United
States. The land lies near the
juncture of the three counties,
2,700 being in Grant county,
3,400 in Cleveland and 400 in
Dallas county. The nearest town
to this land is Rison. It lies
north of Sheriden and 25 miles
northeast of Traskwood.
Negotiations are now on for
6,000more acres of land near the
. site just purchased and the deal
\ » % i i 1 • 1
re aDOUt Closed, w nen uiis aecunu
deal is made Mr. Gardner will
then own fully $100,000 worth
of real estate in this section.
Mr. Gardner has been in cor
respondence with the Pine Bluff
Board of Trade for some time in
regard to establishing a large
factory, and if sufficient induce
ments are offered by Pine Bluff
the factory will be located here.
It is to be placed either at Pine
Bluff, Fordyce or Little Rock.
The proposed factory will cost
about $100,000 and give employ
ment to from 300 to 500 men.
All of the land which has just
n been purchased contains fine
hardwood timber, for which it
! was purchased. Pine Bluff has
£ an excellent opportunity to get a
large factory now and the board
of trade and the business men
generally will probably make a
strong effort to secure this much
desired enterprise.

seven years a resident of Jack
i son county, who had reached the
i ripe old age of 79, passed away
at 9:45 o’clock Sunday night
at his home near Auvergne.
The deceased suffered a fall, not
a hard one, but the effects were
too severe for the threads of life
at his age and death claimed
him.
The funeral services were con
ducted Monday afternoon at 4
o’clock by Rev. B. F. Holdford
of Bald Knob and the burial took
place at Sand Hill graveyard.
! The widow and two children,
G. W. and W. L. May have the
! sympathy of many friends in
1 their grief, but, a greater and
' more enduring comfort in the
! knowledge that his living was
' righteous and his character good
: and true. For fifty years, he
had been a conscientious mem
ber of the Baptist church and
was respected by all who knew
him.
