Attractions Which Have Gained
Worldwide Fame Will be
Seen Again This Fall
Hot Springs, Aug. 26.—The
Arkansas State Fair management
offers to the people of the state
each year, some particularly
spectacular exhibition which con
stitutes one of the big attractions.
Experience in the past has prov
en that nothing attracts the pub
lic attention like the day and
night fireworks which have been
the features of several fairs in
the past.
This year the management has
contracted with the Pain Fire
works Company, for one of the
greatest pyrotechnic spectacles
ever witnessed, “The Last Days of
Pompeii,” a reproduction of the
destruction of this historic city,
vividly shown in a daily spectacle
and on a grander scale than this
event has ever been attempted be
fore.
Pain is the greatest producer of
fireworks display the world has
ever known, and this year at the
Arkansas State Fair he will be
given greater leeway in the mat
ter of expense in staging the spec
tacle and for this occasion many
new and novel features have been
added to make the display great
er than ever.
Every day of the fair there will
be both day and night fireworks a
spectacle which it costs thousands
of dollars to produce, and it will
prove one of the big attractions of
the State Fair, which is to be held
this year November 11 to 16.

A PLEASANT VISIT
Mr. Editor.—If you will allow
me space I will give a brief descrip
tion of my visit to Faulkner coun
ty. I joined my to daughters, Oun
zala and Opal, and Miss Monna
Smith, at Enola on the 16th. They
had been there for two weeks en
joying the association of those good
people. I never met people that
, were more sociable than those peo
ple. They make anyone feel at
home. We did not get to visit as
many homes as we would like to
have visited. There was a pro
tracted meeting in progress at the
: church of Christ. Bro. Borden
was doing the preaching. The
! crowds were very large. They
don’t think it is very far to drive
eight or ten miles to church day
and night. Those that came from
a distance would bring their din
ner and supper or stay with those
near the church until after night
services.
The people are having an oil
well put in at Enola. Enola is
is about twenty miles from Con
way, the nearest railroad station.
Crops are fairly good there.
Cotton is earlier than in this lo
; cality. If any of the readers
1; chance to visit that place there
j awaits a hearty welcome for you.
Thanking you for this space I
' have taken, I remain,
N. M. Wilson.
GIVEN CLOSE CALL
BY HIGHWAYMEN
E. A. Hulsey Held Up In Public
Road Near Town By Three
Men Last Friday Night
E. A. Hulsey had a very exciting
experience at the hands of three
highwaymen Friday night on the
county road leading out southeast
of Newark.
He had started to the home of
his brother-in-law, Charlie Cald
well, who lives in the Point neigh
borhood, leaving town about 11
o’clock. While crossing a ravine
near Swanpond, some four miles
from town, a man stepped out into
the road just in front of Mr. Hul
sey’s horse, threw a gun on him
and commanded him to dismount,
which he did at once. Just then
two other men who were in hiding
nearby appeared upon the scene
and proceeded to go through Mr.
Hulsey’s pockets. Finding but lit
tle of value the highwaymen be
came angered and threatened to
kill him. He pleaded with them
not to kill him, and finally they
told him to get on his horse and
go. He lost no time in obeying
orders and was making his get
away at very lively gait, but it
seems that he was not moving fast
enough to suit those in common of
of the situation, so when Mr. Hul
sey had gotten only a few yards
away they proceeded to take a shot
at him. Three shots were fired,
and although neither of them
struck him he heard the bullets go
whizzing by, and upon his arrival
at Mr. Caldwell’s an examination
showed three bullet holes in his
clothing, two in his shirt and one
in his hat.
The moon was shining brightly
the time the hold-up occured, but
it took place at a rather dark and
secluded spot and Mr. Hulsey is
unable to give a description of the
highwaymen other than that he
thinks they were white men.
WILL HOVE TO NEWPORT
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Martin left
Saturday for their home at Cotton
Plant, after having spent several
days here very pleasantly with
friends and relatives. They ex
pect to move to Newport about
the first of September, where Mr.
Martin will be book keeper for
the Grant Manufacturing Com
pany.
GOV. DONAGHEY
SPENDS DAY HERE
Came on Invitation of Friends to
Deliver Address on State
Wide Prohibition
Gov. Geo. W. Donaghey, who
was the principal speaker at the
picnic and old settlers’ reunion
here, last week, arrived Friday
morning, and was met by a large
delegation of citizens headed by
Mayor E. H. Williamson. He was
driven to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. I. Sturdivant where he
was entertained until time for the
speaking in the afternoon.
A large number of citizens call
ed upon the governor while he
was in the city, and he expressed
himself as highly pleased with the
receptions he always receives
in Newark. The governor re
called the fact that the first politi
cal speech he ever made was in
Newark, when he made his first
race for governor four years ago.
That first speech, although just a
very plain, blunt talk, won for him
many friends in Newark, and
there are few places in the state
where the governor has a more
loyal lot of friends than he has
here.
Governor Donaghey is very
democratic and unassuming, and
while here spent some time on the
picnic ground mingling with the
crowd. He was here all day and
seemed to enjoy every minute of
his stay. He left on the night
train for Little Rock. A synopsis
of the governor’s speech is printed
on page 3. _
ANSWERS ClRbENHAW
Editor Journal.—Bro. Greenhaw
says land cannot be legally sold for
more than 50 years, that the title
a man has is all he can give. The
Bible says, “And I will give unto
thee and to thy seed after the thee
land wherein thou art a stranger,
all the land ofCaanan, for an ever
lasting possession.” One plain pas
sage is enough. He said Annanias
aud his wife were stricken dead
for witholding a part of their mon
ey, but Peter said it was for lying.
See acts 5:1-2. He says Christ
changed the law of Moses as an
amendment. But see Heb 8:7-8. I
never said that the crucifixon did
away with the old Bible, nor noth
ing near like it. The law of Moses
is what was done away with, or
taken out of the way by crucifixion
of Christ, as the Bible plainly
teaches. The law of Moses is a
very small part of the Old Bible,
as you well know. G.W. SELPH.
