NUMBER 9

1 privilege fees, amouting to S3.745 B, give some idea of the amount of Teeenue that the Association can expect annually. Considering the fact of the low price of cotton, the protracted drouto and the yellow fever fright, the gate receipts are highly gratifying and indicate much larger income in the future under more favorable conditions. The fact that 1t WIS Pine Bluffs first fair also caused many to antici- pate that 1t would be failure, and stay away; but since IL was such bowling success, which will be ,heralded abroad, the attendance next year promises to be SO mething immense.
 For this gratifying condition of the Fuir Association we are indebted to President " II. Langford, Secretary NJ. l. Bloom, sup erintendpnt H. Wpstbrook and the entire Bonrd If Directors. all of whom worked i4defatigabll fer the success of the fair and the entertain- ment of visitors. That there were mistakes made due to inexperience cannot be gainsayed; but these can be overcome In the future, and the mistakes of the past year will point to still greater success the next year.
 Cpon the success uf the fair and the gratifying financial condition of the Fair Association. the GRAPHE congratnlates the officers, directors and stock holders.

 Mr White left note to hIs wife stating that he was going to com nit suicide, and that it was best for This iamily, and requesting that he be buried In the clothes he wore. i This same strange request was made by Mr. White oyer a month ago, that when he died he should be buried in the clothes he wore at the i time of his death.

Mrs. White had just carried her husband a glass of water and returned to the parlor. Mir. White stepped in the hall to the =fiead of the stairs and called down for them to sing Home, Sweet Home" They did so, and as the piece was ended pistol shot was fired in Mir. Whites room. The fam fly ran to the room and found Mir White lying before the mirror with bali through his heart, and his spirit already flown.

THE FAIR ASSOCIATION.
A Statement of Its Financial Con-
 dition.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish the first annual statement of the financial condition of he Jefferson County air Association.
 This statement cannot fail to be gratifying tn the stockholders of the Assoclation and the people of Pine Bluff who take an interest in the eity's material welfare
 This financial report shows that on the capital stock paid in, lnclud- ing the investments made at the park in the way of buildings, etc, amounting to oyer S1.399 6l. the Association has cleared dividend on the very first year of over 20 per cent. IL Is true that the Association Is in debt some $500 pr $60 0 but in that connection it must be remem- hered that only 80 per cent of the capital stock subscribed was actual " paid in, and that the Association has over $l ,3996l in permanent i'm. provements at the park Another thing that Is to be said, and we say 1t with regret and to the detriment of tbe patriotism of some of our local citizens. and that is that nearly everyone who performed any service for the fair. after the conclusion Of that event. presented an account e..uai,laro }l,, (, ,h4,u., v. hot ie a,,r,u,t,,, and customary for similar servicps. To be plain, ther has been display ed i'll certain quarters Il disposition to bleed" the Association, but many of these accounts will, and have al- reauy been, considerably reduced by the Board of Directors of the Assori- ation. We regret to see this selfish spirit manifested in dealing with m association organized for the public good and hohoof of all the citizens alike. The fair hns been of great value to Pine Bluff. It brought hundreds and thousands of dollars here that were spent iH the various avenues of trade. One of our local merchants, and one who is not q stoekholder i'll the Association. oi dld not even patronize 1t to the ex
 tent of m admission fee, has testified that he sold over S400 worth Q goods to aont Of town" customers during fair week. Every line O
 trade was benefited by the fair
 Every dollar brought here and spent during fair week was just that muet additional money added to tht wealth of the city. It is true that there was not much buying donC among the local trade that week
 but this trade is with Us always They have just so much money tc spend during the year, and they spend it. Whatever else is added te the aggregate trade of the city is 1 just so much gained.

The Method of a Great Treat

Painful diseases are pad enough, but

WHY LIE.

This is the time Of the year, or soon
will be, when tho man who has been
plodding along at bis business for
MONTHS a model OF virtue, honesty and
uprightness, a man whose word is as
good as his bond, whose mere state
ment Of a fact was accepted without a
doubt, throws his hard learned reputa-
ton to the winds; shoulders his rod
and proudly becomes an object of sus-
piclon to all his associates.
1t has long been a source Of wonder
that a man who ordinarily would brook
no insinuation as to his honesty, will
pour forth his marvellous stories to
groups of apparently interested listen
ers, knowing that moi a word OF his
elaborate dilation is believed BY a sim
gle auditor, and yet totally ~oblivious to
the winks and mods and sarcastic re-
marks that greet every period.
An exchange accounts for this from
the fact That successful fishing is the
acme Of the art Of deceiving. A man
goes forth in the morning loaded with
patent ilies, minnows, hobs and con-
cealed hooks, all instruments Of decep-
tion.
He spends the entire day trying to
allure, In the most subtle and decep.
tive manner. The size Of his real catch
depends on his ability to make the
false appear true. II he has been, in
atly degree successful, be continues TO-
practice his art on bis aususpecting
