DONAGHEY DENIES PETITIONS
Governor Donaghey denied sev
eral petitions, which came up be
fore him, on Saturday, in behalf
of murderers, who are now solv
ing sentences in the Arkansas Pen
itentiary. According to statements
by the governor, to the attorneys
on the hearing of these petitions,
he evidently believes that capital
punishment is the most satisfact
ory method of dealing with cold
blooded murderers. He not only
denied all petitions, but gave in
the presence of the attorneys, some
sharp and pointed talk on the in
crease of crime in Arkansas, due
on the most part, to their shrewd
ness in defeating the interests and
purposes of the law. He cited case>
where crimes have been commit
ted after the criminals had care
fully gone over the records of the
county to see if previous murders
had gone unpunished, and when
it was dicovered that the counties
had no hangings, the murder took
place.
He also spoke about the lax en
forcement of the laws being re-1
sponsible for, even hoys commiling j
murder, and his determination to!
do every thing in his power to
prevent them.

SUPPORT YOUR COUNTY FAIR
it Reflects Local Enterprise and Pub
lic Pride. It stimulates Public
Progress.
If your county is going to havo a
fair this fall, give it your actual and
moral support. He one to do some
thing towards its success. You can
select something from among the
best of your products to exhibit. Take
it to your fair. You may win a prize,
aaul if you do it will stimulate others
to better efforts. The county fair Is
to the industrial nature of a commu
nity what a good school is to its edu
cational nature, and a big revival to
its moral nature. If you don't, win a
prize you will be stimulated by the
success of your neighbor, and make
better efforts next year. Every good
county fair is worth to its county tee
times what it costs. The county fair
should also be made an auxiliary of
the state fair. It should be a feeder
to the St*ne b«ir as the short line*
are to the trunk lines of railroad.
From the county fair tta« best sx
liibits should be sent to th« State
Fair. That helps to put your ooonbr
and town on the map, and advertise
it to the world. Who can tell the
amount of money and thrifty immi
gration a good exhibit, at the State
Fair may bring to your section. This
is the way to build up your section
and promote the common prosperity
of your people.
SANITARY PRECAUTIONS
At Arkansas State Fair for Safety
and Comfort of Visiting Public.
Although the Oaklawn lair grounds
at Hot Springs are high and dry, and
arc not used during the year for any
thing except the State Fair in Octo
ber, being therefore in good natural
sanitary condition, yet the manage
ment will have ttie entire grounds,
including the exposition palaces and
stock stables, thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected just before the fair
• pens. Thus the visiting public wMl
be invited into a clean house. The
main buildings v, ill also be freshly
painted and otherwise made attrac
tive. Exposition palace is equipped
with a large toilet room, equipped
equal to the best hotels, with water
pipes and sewer system, for the free
use of the public.
STATE FAIR PREMIUMS.
Last year more than $10,000 were
distributed among exhibitors at tlie
Arkansas State Fair in premiums and
awards. This year, the amount lias
been increased, and many new classes
and articles included in the list. The
catalog and premium list will be
mailed to any one desiring a copy,
( n application to the secretary.

TICK ERADICTiON
Editor Journal.—We learn there
is quite a deal of discontent among
the people about the tick law which
recently went into effiect.
I he writer of this article wishes
to say that the people arc not suf
ficiently acquainted yet with the
benefits of this law to really know
just how they feel about it. Nat
urally they are inclined to oppose
any new proposition, as has been
fully demonstrated in the past,
but we feel confident that after it
is in force long enough to show its
good results, you will hear every
body praising it. Such has been
the case in other states.
If you will talk with the intelli
gent farmer and stockmen in oth
er lick and Fever Eradication Di
stricts where tlu law has been in
operation long enough to show its
merits, you will find a larger per
cent of them highly pleased. It is
simply a campaign of education on
this subject and the more you learn
about it, the better you will be
pleased.
So, Mr. Voter, dont try to un
ject this into politics. You may be
working against your own inter
est. Give it a trial and then pass
judgement, as well as those who
voted for it. Citizen.
Matches.
Three million* of matches accord
ing to the f-t.-n Mei.uis, are turned
nut every minute of the 24 hours of
the day by the civilized natives of (ho
earth. This is a consumption of sev
en billions a year, anil it is said that
half of them are burned in the United
States. Met 1,. s are < heap and very
insignificant compared with some oth
er articles of wood, but the manufac
turers complain that they are begin
ning to find the raw material for their
product scarce. Only the choicest por
tions of the best trees are suitable.
Sapwood, knotty or cross grained lim
ber will not do. Instead of being a
by product of other articles of manu
facture, the little match is turned out
at hundreds of mills over the country
where the by-products are bulky ob
jects like doors, sash, shingles, siding,
posts and cord wood. The pines, lin
den, aspen, white cedar, poplar, birch
and willow are the most suitable
match timbers.
Savings and Losings.
'Hie l'ritish IV O. savings bank Is
raising hob about carrying petty cur
rent candy amounts of the kids. Say
boot blacks and newsboys will deposit
a quart r. and take it out two cents
at a time. Now, every such transac
tion costs the government evactly 11
cents, same price as a $ 100 trans
action. Still, it seems to Tip if a
youngster can put in a shilling at In
fer* st, anil has candy resistance
enough to purchase only two cents’
worth at a time, such young Roths
■•hi'd should be encouraged, even if
It does cost tin government a matter
of a thou and or so pounds more or
Ie-. nor annum- New York Press.
