Congressional District Should Be
The One That Begins Early
And Works Through The
Entire Period.
The State Fair Queen Voting
Contest which has just been in
augurated by this paper bids fair
to be one of the most interesting
voting contests ever inaugurated
in Arkansas. Already several can
didates have made their appear
ance in several Congressional Dis

being State Fair Queen and
Hostess.
The lady who receives the high
est number of votes from each of
the seven Congressional Districts
of Arkansas will have all her ex
penses paid to and from the Fair
and during the Fair. This in
cludes railroad transportation,
hotel aecomadation for the ten
' days at one of the best hotels in
Hot Springs, carriage to and from
! the grounds each day and many
. incidental items of interest, pleas
ure and social distinction.
■ Each of the ladies elected will
reign one day as State Fair Queen
and Hostess and during the other
days of the Fair will be a promi
nent personage in the retinue of
the reigning queen.
Votes in this contest may be se
cured in the following manner: —
First, each coupon clipped from
the News from July first to Sep
tember seventh when properly
filled out will count one vote:
Second, each paid-in-advance sub
scription will entitle one vote for
each five cents in the amount thus
paid, to be accredited to whatso
ever lady desired.
The successful candidate for
each Congressional District will be
determined by the auditing of the
entire vote cast in the various
papers to each district. These
votes will be canvassed and audit
ed by the members of the standing
committee of the Arkansas Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs.

$10,978.66 and for the balance of
that day I was pretty nervous. I
notified a few friends including
the County Judge and set about
locating it, determined to show
that I had not received it, oi to
have it killed if it had been paid
over to me and send the man who
stole it to the pen. When I took
the matter up with Mr. Cain I was
satisfied that the difference was an
error in his adding machine of
which he was entirely unconscious
and in the wind-up he paid me the
difference on his own motion,
’twas not my shortage. There
has not been a minute since I have
been Treasurer, till required to
pay over to the county depository,
that I could not produce every cent,
due the county schools and roads,
and can produce receipts for all
since. C. B. Mills,
