The time is ripe in this city for
the organization Of local Fair
Association. The success that re-
Gently attended the Poultry and Pet
Animal Show in this city clearly
demonstrates the public interest in
such an enterprise, and also shows
that there is an abundance of ma
terial in this section for a credit
able and satisfactory exhibit. We
venture to assert that not half the
people of this section ever once
imagined that there are as many
fine fowls in Arkansas us were ex-
hibited here at the late Poultry
Show.
Aud SO il would be with a county
Fair, which in its scope would take
in all the products of the farm field
and factory, and which would bring
into one magnificent display the
reso urces of this matchless country,
wherein would be arrayed in grand
review the art, industry and enter.
prise and the boundless resources
and products of South Eastern Ark
ansas.
Wand, then, too, this magnificent
exhibit unfolding a cornucopia of
natures lov, liness and extravaganza
together with the industry and art
OF our people. could be interspersed
with a series of amusements such as
horse races, bicycle races, baseball
etc, as would attract multitudes
from all parts of the State.
Pine Blum enjoys enyiable and
exceptionable opportunities for
holding a County Fair-opportuni-
ties possessed by no other city in the
State.
We are centrally located, With
ample facilities for transportation
by river and rail which would
afford the public easy access to our
Fair.
And in addition we have frst-class
fair grounds, with pavillions, stables
and race track, all Of which can be
had for tue asking. Therefore Pine
Bluff could hold Fair at an expense
that would easily be covered by the
gate receipts, TO say nothing of the
profit that would be derived by the
local business men from the visitors
attracted here by the Fair
Pine Stuff should certainly hold
an annual Fair, and our business
men are standing in their own light
and way by not organizing an
association for that purpose.

New York. The place IS tastefully and
comfortably furnished with tables,
chairs, bookcases and some gymnastic
apparatus. There are water color pic
lures on tho walls, handsome rugs on the
floors and coy corners fitted up with
divans and cushions. The older boys
though all arc under 16 years of age
are daily adding other comforts and at
fractions ana SPARE no efforts to keep the
smaller lads OF tho street as far as pos
sible
Numbers Of boys who do not belong
to this club have become deeply inter
osted in It's methods and have begun the
formation Of similar clubs elsewhere.
Their plan is to create a series of them
throughout Che tenement district in
which the idea originated, these various
societies to be associated somewhat after
tho manner of tho chapters Of q college
fraternity.
Each club must be strictly self sup
porting, but as the mem bers are not
oyerburdened with cash care will be
taken to keep tho dues down to q very
low figure
David Wiliard, the president Of tho
Eldridgo street club, says: Every boy
who works for his living is anxious to
elevate himself If opportunity is afford
ed him. Many poor boys, reared Ia
crowded tonemeuts amid all the sordid
surroundings Of the slums, have had
their natural Inspirations toward better
things suppressed by brutal or ignorant
parents. To these the club idea appeals
strongly, and they enter with eagerness
int all plans for rational amusement
and recreation. This kind of association
will serve to develop their minds, ele-
vate their morals and strengthen their
characters and will do much to fit them
for useful citizenship .
Certainly this is an experiment the
development and outcome of which phi
lanthropists must watch with keen in
terest.

that she thought Of giving her writings

wore shown only to her older brother,
who Lad been her constant critic In
fact, it is to him that Miss Wood aseribes
her subsequent success. for in spite Of
his severity with her literary faultsit is
to him that sho owes all her stimulus
and inspiration. But life, even moro
than books, she has studied in q most
systematic way.
Frequent trips to Europe have formed
part of her training, while each winter
she takes up her residence in some cen
ter Of social er literary life. Sometimes
she has chosen New York. of5ener Bos-
ton, and this winter Philadelphia is her
temporary home. Her literary work and
study arc varied by numbers OF social

opportunity Of seeing the best of English
