Political Announcements We arc authorized to announce JUDGE JAMES GOULD of Jefferson County, a candidate for Congress from the Sixth Congressional District, subject to the action of the Democratic Primary. Little too much rain. Do not overlook the tact that in this world one must deal with the lower realities as well as with the higher ideals. The reason man got into the habit of thinking he had brains is because he could sec that he didn’t have beaut) . If you think laughing is what makes a ma:i fat you will change your mind after you see him eat. About the easiest thing in the world for a preacher to do is to say something that somebody doesn’t endorse. The average housewife works for less pay than the average ser vant girl, if by pay is meant cash. Usually the housegirl who receives three or or four dollars a week has more spending money than her mistress. Os course the latter has better credit, ordinarily; but to use the credit means, as the house wife well knows, bills at the end of the month and grumblings from the head of the house. The result is that after ten years of domestic ity resignation is bred to things as they are. And the way they are is rarely the way the woman imag ined they would be in the heydey of her bridehood. Alas, this world is but a vale of of tears —and most of the people are longing for things they can’t have. Come to Arkan sas. The waterworks and sewerage franchise proposition now before the city council looks mighty good —too good to be passed up with out serious consideration. The truck grower must be some thing of a business man in order to succeed in marketing his products to the best advantage. There is plenty of money in the truck in dustry, but the planter should know more than the mere rudi ments of sowing and harvesting his crops Tn th---' d-"-- of modern progress it is necessary for the truck grower, like all others who are endeavoring to make a living and acquire a competency, to read and stud)' the journals that me published in the interest of his particular calling, and. to be aide to judge ol tile manv condition that may contribute to the .-tiwu .< or failure of the farm and garden. it s about time some of our papeis were forgetting the past and look - ing more to the present. The old citizen is pleased, of course, to see something about the "good old days," but what pleases the busi ness man most is to see something about the present advancement and development of the town. Listen ! An Indiana editor be gan his business career 25 years ago and is now rated at SIOO,OOO. This vast accumulation of wealth was made possible by his frugality strict attention to business, hard and incessant work, ’and from the fact that a rich uncle died, leaving him nine hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety eight dollars.—Ex. There is good .money in raising hogs, and the feed can be pio duced at the minimum of cost —in Hot Spring County. STATE FAIR GROUNDS FINEST IN SOUTH MAGNIFICENT PLANT WHICH COST HALF A MILLION DOL LARS, EQUIPPED IN MOD- ERN STYLE. EVERY CONVENIENCE AND COMFORT FOR THE VISITORS Great Exposition Palaces, Electric Lights, Water Works, Sewer Sys tem, Telephone and Telegraph Con nections, and Connected With City by Double Track Trolley Lines. Except to those who have visited the Arkansas State Fair heretofore, It is not generally known that we have the finest and best equipped fair grounds in the South. The great plant "embraces nearly o«ie hundred acres, and with all improvements cost half a million dollars. It is the prop erty of the Oaklawh Jockey Club, was built for a racing track and is said to bo the finest in the United States. Since the legislature confiscated this property by the passage of the Amis act, which killed horse racing in this state, the owners have given the use of this splendid plant to the peo ple of the stale, free of cost, for the use of the Stale Fair. This they have clone for five years, notwithstanding the fact that they have received no legislative relief in return. The fair grounds are one mile south of the city of Hot Spring.-, and are reached by a double-track trolley electric car line. The cars rim into the grounds, discharging ayd taking on passen gers under'roof, so that rain or shine, one is not subject to dicomfort. Dar ing the fair, cars run on a three min ute schedule, ami the crowds are swiftly and safely handled without de lays, and the rim to the city takes but seven minutes. The great exposition palace is 200 by 400 feet., two stories, with concrete floor, toilets, water ’ountains, res taurants and everything for the com fort of the public. The great grand stand on the second floor, facing the mile track, will seat, three thousand people. Agricultural palace is almost as large, stands near the main palace, and is connected by covered passage ways oh both stories. South of these are Electric Grove, where the main amusement features are located, a beautifully shaded lawn, glowing at night witli thousands or Incandescent lights. The grounds are beautifully ornamented with shrubbery and flow ers along the gravel walks, with flowing fountains here and there. The machinery, live stock and poultry de partments comprise a large area. A large poultry house contains pens for thousands of fowls,- while there are comfortable stalls for several thous and head of horses, cattle and swine. | The entire plant is equipped with , waterworks and sewer systems, elec tric lights, telephone and telegraph lines, so that communication can be liad by wire or long distance phone whenever desired right, from the grounds. Better facilities for a great fair could hardly be designed. No matter what the character of exhibit, whether of animal or other thing, It can be safely provided tor, and shown under the most fa-vorable conditions. The fair is operated under a perfect system, so that the safety of exhibits while there, and their prompt a-nd safe return is insured. If you have never before visited the Arkansas State Fair, don't miss it this fall, and at the same time, have an opportu nity to seo the world-fumeous health! and pleasure resort, Hot Springs. I one of the seven wonders of the I world. TAKE YOUR BOY TO THE FAIR. | Take that boy of yours to rhe State I Fair this year. Take that bright, in-I telligent daughter, too. A great State Fair is an educational institu-| ti<m of more than ordinary import-! anec. Il is such, not only to the young, but io the old as well. Knowl edge is more quickly obtained and I more firmly grasped by observation I than any other method. This fact is recognized and utilized in all our edu- I cational systems today. At tlie State . Fair this fall, you may see the latest. I discoveries in arts and science, in ' machinery and implements lor all , lines of industry, the hi-gliest grades of live stock, the best. breeds of ■ fowls, and the highest achievements ! in human skill and ingenuity. It is a great school, and aside from the en tertainment and pleasure of the trip. ; will be worth to yon double the ex-! pense. AN OBJECTIONABLE RULE NOW ABOLISHED. A rule was in force at the State Fair last year, stipulating that in case any exhibit had no competition, sec ond money only should lie awarded. A similar rule is in force at other state fairs. The management of the Arkansas State Fair this year abol 'ished that rule, believing it to be un just to the exhibitor, and it will not be in force this fall. 'The manage ment take the view that any one’ bringing an animal or article to the fair for exhibition, does so expecting competition, and willing to take chances in meeting it. If there is no competition he is not responsible for this, and should take first me mlum.

You cannot be otherwise than deeply af fected by the ignominy which you hare incurred through the indul gence of your vicious propensities.
