THE BIG ARKANSAS STATE FAIR
Arrangements being Made For
Creditable Display of the
Products of the State
Hot Springs, August 4.—Every
effort is being put forth by the
State Fair Association to make the
exposition features of the Fair far
above any of the other depart*
ments in extent and importance.
Most gratifying results are already
being accomplished. The F'a'r is
assured of no less than a solid
train load of splendid exhibits.
These choice Arkansas products
cover a vast range. There are
horses, cattle, goats, sheep, swine,
poultry and domestic pets. There
are all classes of minerals, many
kinds of coal, clays of wonderful
variety, building stones, bricks,
whetstones, slate, pearls and even
precious metals, also the finest
grades of zinc and other ores.
There are samples of nearly every
class of useful timber, fruits,
grains and vegetables without
number.
The art, textile and culinary de
partments will also be well repre
sented. The exhibits of Arkan
sas art productions will be of un
usual attractiveness to all who
view the great and valuable col
lection, but it will be of special in
terest to the patriotic citizen of
this state who sees the positive
proof that our own Arkansas is
not wanting in home talent of a
high order in even the highest
arts.
The educational department will
be peculiarly valuable. Upon
every citizen will be forced an ac
knowledgement of the wonderful
educational advancement made
during the past several years, but
attention will also be forcibly call
ed to the many pressing needs of
our present educational system.
Every true husbandman who
visits the great State Exposition
will be encouraged by practicable
ambition to improve the products
of his farm. Me will se just what

OLO FEUD RESULTS IN KILLING
5. W. Thomas Shot Down by Dr.
(j. H. Martinstlale on the
Street at Hope Saturday
Hope, Ark., Aug. 4.—Samuel |
W. Thomas, a citizen of Patinos, I
was shot and killed this afternoon
in front of the Citizens’ Bank of
Hope by Dr. G. H. Martinsdale,
a prominent physician. Martin
dale is in custody. So far as
known, no words passed between
the men when they met the last
time, but it is said that bad blood
had existed between them for
some time.
Dr. Martindale opened fire on
Thomas on meeting him. He
emptied a 38-calibre pistol and
several bullets took effect in Thom
as’ head and chest, killing him in
stantly.
The trouble between the two
men dates back several years, but
what was the origin of it cannot
be learned at this time. Thomas
was without a coat, and it is said
he had a pistol in his grip when
Martindale met him today.
Martindale is at his home under
guard and will be held pending
an official investigation. While
the killing is greatly deplored by
everyone, it has caused no partic
ular excitement here.
Thomas leaves a wife and four
children. He was a raillman, but
had dabbled some in politics and
ran twice for assessor. He was
tried and acquitted at the last
term of the circuit court on a
charge of killing a young man
named Coffee in October, 1904.
