farmers Shajld Attend fa'rs.
1 want to urge the farmers and
citizens generally to attend theii
county fairs, where they have not
already been held, and especially*
to urge all who can to attend the
State Fair at Hot Springs. I do j
this for the reason that 1 regard it
of great value to those who are en- j
gaged in agricultural pursuits or in- j
terested in Agriculture.
The farmers who can and (will
attend the State Fair will find the
trip a most profitable one. They
will'be able to see what is being
produced in the different parfs of
the state, and learn more about the
agricultural possibilities of the state
in which they live in one week than
they would by spending six months
traveling about over the state.
Another important thing is the
live stock industry. The farmers
of Arkansas want to awaken to the
opportunities in stock raising, and aj
trip to the State Fair will afford aj
good education as to what can be
done and to some extent is being
done jn Arkansas with live stock
We ha^ some live wires as stock
men in Arkansas, and it will pay to j
see and learn what they are doing.
It will give those who are interest- ,
ed in agriculture and the develop- !
merit of the state a good idea of
what is going on. and will be a rev- j
e ation to many.
There is no question of the great
value of attending the State Fair.,
and I hope all who can will attend.
As yourCommissioner.l expect to be
there throughout the week and hope
to meet as many of the farmers and j
stock growers as possible. Let us
get tegether and discuss how we
can help the condition of the farm- j
er and advance the interest of Ark- !
ansas generally,
Between now and the next State
Fair I intend to take steps to see if
we cannot arrange to get free rail*
road fare for the farmers to and
from the State Fair. I believe it
can be accomplished and shall do
my best to bring it about. Let's ,
all meet at the State Fair and pre- j
pare for better farming and better
crops next year,
John H. PAor:.
Comnfiissioner of Agriculture.

Causrs I iirthfr Talk.
Because so many people ^re
telling their experience with Hunt’s
Lightning Oil for Headaches. Rheu
matism. Neuralgia, etc., others are
lead to give it a trial, and are con
vinced immediatly of its merits as
a pain killer. Are you yet to be
convinced? Ask the Druggist.
Woman's Missionary Union Society.
The Missionary Union met Tues
day afternoon at the church with
14 members present. Devotional
exercises conducted by Mrs. Moore
Meeting opened by singing "Tell
Me the Story of Jesus.” We, had

ed with chain prayer. ' Our Mis- j
sionary tea will be with Mrs. Voss;

erful success for Rheumatism,

Public School Progress.
The tabulation of the public |
school statistics for the school year1
ending June 30th. 1913 is nearing
completion by the Department of
Education under the direction of
State Superintendent Geo. B.
Cook.
The statistics show a study . and
gratifying increase that has mark
ed the school progress during ihe
past several years. The following
items of increase over the past
year are very indicative of the situ
ation: Increase in school population
Tor the year 14.139. enrollment.
1 9.7 1 6, average daily attendance
17.182. The number of teachers
employed was 10.234, or 59 more
than for the year before and the
the average annual salary was in
creased $15.40. The average
length of school term for the past
year was 127.1 days, nearly six
and one half months for the entire
state, and 9.2 days longer than for
the previous year.
During last year 346 new school
buildings were erected with a total
value of more than one million dol
lars and the total '-alue of school
property is now approximately
eleven million dollars.
The sum of $5,759,753 was
available for school purposes, of
which $4,279,478 were expended,
leaving an unexpended balance of
$1,480,275. This balance is
largely to the credit of the common
school districts. In nearly every
instance the special districts have
not only used available funds but
have taken advantage of their pow
er to issue bonds for building pur
poses. The unexpended balance,
however, is approximately $50.
900 greater than for the previous
year._

L. f. Taylor for Road Overseer.
• i
We are authorized this week to
announce the candidacy of L. F.
, Taylor, of Lapeer, for the office of
1 road overseer of Lapile township
subject to the action of the coming
Democratic primary.
Mr. Taylor is a native of this
county and was'born and reared in
Lapile township. He has never
asked for an office before and is ■
making the race this time strictly |
in his own merits and has nothing
whatever to say against any other
men who may aspire to the position
He believes he can give the
township better ro ds than it has;
with the free labor, and promises
to give the office the best there is
in him. Remember his candidacy
when you go to the polls.
Wants Soil Survey of County.
Efforts are being made by Con
gressman W. S' Goodwin to g^t a
soil survey of Columbia county,
Arkansas, in connection with the
State Agi icultural College at Mag
nolia. The proposition has been
taken up with Secretary of Agri
culture Houston and an effort
made to arrange, if possible, to have
a force of government expert, in
the field this winter in order that
the seniors at the Magnolia College
may be given opportunity to see
how the work is done, while at the
same time learning how to classify
the various soils. Unless thj co
operation of the state can be obtain
ed, however, the government
probably will not attemp’. the work
this year.

Who Am I?
Last year I did not want to em
barrass my best girl to make hir
propose to me. so asked her to he
my wife, and she said: 'I w uU1
rather be excused." and I like
an idiot excused her. But I
got even with the girl. I married
her mother. Then m . father mar
ried the girt Now I doit L know
who I am.
When I married the girl’s mother
the girl became* my daughter, and
when my father married my daugh
ter he is my son. When my father
married my daughter she is my
mother. If my father is my son.
md my daughter is my mother,
who in the thunder am I? My
mother s mother (which is my
wife ) must be my grand-mother,
rnd ! being my grandmother's hus
band, I am my own grandfather.

We Have Bern
Especially Pleased
With the Character and sout
ces of the compliments recent
ly paid our store.
Repeatedly has it been said, by visitor*
unquestionably qualified to express them
selves, upon the s ihject. THAT NO other
large collection of furniture in this section
is of such uniform merit, or as widely
representative of the really best sources
or offers more generous measures of
VALUE at the prices asked.
An official tour of inspection and in
vestigation, ji st completed through the
principal stores and shops of the laiger
eastern cities, gi ves us the best of reasons
lor believing these comments have been
sincere and well founded. Careful cum*
parisons make us more proud than ever
of our store, ai d confirm our belief that
nowhere can furniture and accessories
be purchased to better advantage than
here.
Our buyer has just returned from his
i Eastern trip, where he bought the largest
! 'tock we have ever had. These goods,
will be coming in from day to day. sc*
; our store will be full of bright new goods.
We most coroially invite you to write us
about your HOME wants and to look
through our various exhibits, when you
are in Monroe, whether or not you >nay
tlasiro t uy.
