INFORMAL MEETING OF THE BOARD
OF LADY MANAGERS,
Misses Mayors and Scott Turn Over
5000 Collected BY Them.

|
Little Rock Gazette.
An informal meeting of the
Board of Lady managers of the
Arkansas State Far Association
was held at the residence Of the
President, Mrs. Gov. Eagle, last
week. Mrs Eagle stated that she
felt that some one else could fiji
the Office of President of the
Board much better than she had
been able to do on account of the
exhaustive demands upon hel
time, owing to the illness of Gov,
Eagle. The other members of the
Board declined to accept her res.
ignati0n, and entreated her to re.
main President of the Board, as
they felt it was owing to her work
and zeal for the cause that the la.
dies Of the club had a place in the
Columbian work. Miss Scott OF
Van Buren, and Miss Mayer OF
Fort Smith, had been appointed
at the November meeting to can
vass a portion of the State in the
interest of the Association. They
were present and gave most glow
ing accounts of the cordial wei.
come they received in every place
they visited. In about three
weeks they collected about 5000
in cash, all of which has been
cheerfully turned over to the
Arkansas Worlds Fair Associa.
ton. Not one member of the
Board of Lady Managers receives
one cent for their services. They
are dong all they can to assist the
Board of Managers in paying for
the very beautiful buildings the
State has at Chicago, and obtain
ing exhibits for the Columbian
Exposition, which shall reflect
credit upon the State and show
it's wonderful resources. Miss
Scott and Miss Mayer were voted
a resolution Of thanks for the very
good work they had done.
Prof. James Mitchell was pres.
ent for short time and received
a cordial welcome. Ways and
means of raising money for the
building and the exhibits were
discussed at length. Prof. Mitch
ell, President of the Board of
Managers, made valuable sug-
gestions which will be accepted
and acted upon. Reports were
received Of many exhibits which
were to be had as soon as the
Board of Managers had arranged
for place of safe keeping. Prof.
Mitchell stated that about $4,000
was needed to finish paying for
the building.

i weri Win Our Patrols.

It was the isfortune of the
PRESS, among others, to suffer
By the late fire loosing neurly cv-
erything connected with the Office.
But little of consequence was
saved excepting our books. For
nearly thirty.two years the PRESS
has gone out to it's patrons with
out intermission, excepting about
three years during the late war.
In 1859 we landed at the leyee In
Van Buren, with a complete news
paper outfit, and on the third day
Of July Of the same year ISSUED
the first number of THE VAN BU-
ZEN PRESS. During the Blunt
raid Of the Federal army into Van
Buren, our Office was partially des-
troyed and large quantities carried
o6. After the war we replenished
our 0fl1ce and have continued the
PRESS without lntermisslon until
the fire. Every vestagc Of the old
office has gone--n0t thing of
remembrance is left us. But,
such is life I; all things have their
day, some for longer and some for
shorter periods. The OLD PRESS
Office has passed away and the
NEW PRESS takes its place to-day.
Without grieving and without
complaining over what now cannot
be helped, we have taken OF our
coat and will make an earnest ef-
fort to replace what is lost, and
earnestly appeal to our old friends
some Of whom have travelled
with us for long years gone by,-
as we'll as the many new ones who
have taken the places of those
who have passed away, to give us
their countenance and support.
Having purchased the entire
outfit Of the Graphic Office, the

cation with issue of December Esd.

Block, whore we shall be pleased
to receive the patronage of old
and new friends, as we'll as the
general public. Our newspaper

as any In the city and our work
and prices will be as satisfactory
as any.
With q Happy New Year to all

We sold solely because we did
not see our way to ever get the
Office paid ont, and can only say
that had our subscribers paid up
more promptly itmight have been
different. Our patronage from
the business men of Van Buren,,
regardless of politics, was all we
could expect, and to them we re-
turn our sincere thanks; and to
those who subscribed and spoke
good words for our paper, we are
also truly thankful; and to those
who have not paid up but intend.

feelings, and hope they will not
keep the next paper they sub
scribe for waiting SO long.

been placed in the hands of Mr..

collect for US, and we hope all
who owe subscription will pay

ed by tho two companies for several
months, this gentleman said that II has
been q mistake that they should have
been at loggerheads, and he said the
present state Of affairs is directly due to
the bullheadedness OF one Of the Wheel
ing Company's stockholders, who
Thought he ownedth whole earth; but
We showed him he couldn't occupy it
all,p
From what the gentleman said 1t will
be seen that II the two companies have,
as he said, been negotiating for the past
month, the enmity which has shown so
strongly on the face is, to say the least,
but skin deep. Corporations supposed
to be hostile to each other don't usually
get close enough to enter into negotia-
lions for traffic arrangements, To q
man up q tree, so to speak, II looks as
though the two companies had come to
IN agreement, as told in the INrELLt-
GENcER yesterday. but that for reasons
known alone to themselves they have
decided not to acknowledge it publicly
for the present. The absence from the
city OF the two jolly brothers gives
weight TO this supposition.
