 Judge Hinton appeared before the city council Tuesday night and asked the cooperation of that body in grad ing South Front street to point east of the courthouse lot. 1t is proposed that the expense be shared equally by the city and county. 4 committee wac appointed by the mayor to look into the matter, and the consensus of opin- ion IS that the proposition should be accepted. Judge Hinton is also trying to induce the Little Rock and Mem phis Railroad company to grade the right of-way to meet the other grade, and if this is done, it will give us one of the prettiest streets in the city. When the courthouse lot is graded and fenced it will be sodded iii Bermuda grass, and then what was erstwhile an eyesole will be "a thing of beauty indeed.
 George Reed and c. Farr. school di- rectors in district No. 4, near Caldwell. are in trouble, being charged with is- suing fraudulent school warrants, IL seems there was some difficulty con- corning the employment of 6 teacher for the eolored school The patrons de- sired one teacher, and he was employed by the colored member of the director ate and ona of the white; and Messrs. Reed and Farr, also of the board, en- gagged a teacher named Gillespie, exe- cutting a warrant for thirty dollars for pay in advance, which is felony This occurred in September last. Yes terday MT. Farr was in the city and, warrants having been issued from Squire Nelson's court, he was arrested, but gave bond and was released, Beck CT & Lewis becoming his sureties. We are satisfied that ignorance of the law was alone the cause of their action, as
 
 opinion, be guilty of an intentional wrong.
 Many good things have been said of the Fair. but none better than this. That 1t Is vast work to build the Ex- position, but a task of scarcely less moment to trace it's growth, picture it in all it's present magnitude, and point out the paths along which one must walk in order to derive the most ad- vantage from it.. This is the work which Hubert II. Bancroft in his Book of the Fair is accomplishing. The Co., lumbian Exposition is a long step in advance of that held in Paris, four years ago; the Paris Exposition was an advance on that presented to the world during our centenary, and the Philadelphia Exhibition WAS superior to that organized in Vienna, three years before. And so on, back to the first worlds fair organized in London over 40 years ago, and back to the local and the national fairs held Ill Europe and the far East centuries ago--the pictures get fainter and smaller, untik we realize what great blessing 1t is to live ill the nineteenth century and enjoy the advantages of it's broad ciyl- iiZah0n. The first chapter of Book of the Fair (The Bancroft Company Pub fishers, Auditorium Building. Gllicagol is devoted to Fairs of the Past:o it IS beautifully illustr ated, and is probably the ablest and most complete account of fairs of all kinds, from first to last, extant
