THE SENTIMENT IN
 FRANCE IS FOR WAR.
The Public Is More Defiant and It Is Given Out That France Will
 Hold Fashoda.

Paris Oct. 22-A remarkable change has come over French opinion on the Fashoda question during the last 4S hours. The attitude of the public is more Infamed and more defiant. This is partly due to the tone of the British press, but more to the threatening speech of the British chancellor of the exchecquer, Sir Michael Hicks. Beach, which The Autorite calls "a provocation that is almost a threat of war.
 The municipal council of Paris is abused on all sides for exborting the gov ernment to avert war. In government circles the disposition seems to be to re- sist the British demands. It is reported that the policy of France as definitely stated to Great Britain includes the re- tention of Fashoda. Rumors that the Russian foreign minister, Count Mara vieff, has assured M. Deleasse, French foreign minister, of Russia's support in the controversy, tends to stiffen the backs of the high officials, although these continue to maintain a concilia- tory tone and declare that France is pre- pared to carry amiability to the utmost limits consistent with her rights and dignity.

stand Up For Home.

The State Fair ;s entirely Pine Bluff enterprise. Not dollar of the stock is owned outside of Pine Bluff. When the State Fair was conceived is was done on the idea that subscriptions for stock could be secured outside Of this city, but for some cause, 10 outside subscriptions were received.
 The State Far is therefore a home enterprise. Arkansas should have @ State Fair, but for some reason the movement has not met with the response 1t deserved in the way of exhibits, etc., or ln subserip- tions for stock from over the State. It's burden is therefore necessarily carried by a few progressive c;ti- zens who have devoted their indi. yidual time and money to making of it whatever success they could. It is therefore a Pine Bluff institution, and as such is entitled to the patronage ana support of every Pine Bluffian. But notwithstand ing this fact, the people are not turning out and patronizing it even as it deserves. The Fair has now been in progress five days, and the attendance on any one of these days has not been by half what it should have been. Many people have come from abroad and visited the Eair, but the attendance on the part of home people has baen very poor Pine Bluff has population of 15,000 If every citizen were to turn out one day it would pay the expenses of the Fair; If Pine Bluff people refuse to attend it, then the enterprise can eventuate in nothing but failure. The responsibility for the success or failure of the enter prise therefore resolves upon Pine Blufians.
 The Fair may not be all that may be desired It is not equal to a Worlds Fair or the Omaha Exposi- tion, or even to a State Fair ir Illinois or Texas, or even what a State Fair can be made in Arkansas, but it is the nucleus of a beginning and is fraught with wonderful pos abilities for the future if properly patronized and encouraged in it's infancy.
 The present Fair may not be up to the expectations of some; if so, it is due to the fact that their expee- tations were too high in the begin ming. 1t may be shcrt in exhibits in some of it's departments; if so, it is because the material for these ex- hibits arc not here or not put on display by those who have them. There may have been errors and lack of thoroughness on the part of the management; if so, this is a lesson from the past to be pro6ted by in the future. Errors there have been in the past and errors there will be in the future as long as the

human race is imperfect aud falli
 able. Perfection is not of this earth; it is Of the world to come.
 Perfection and progress are at tained only by degrees of develop ment. It is the hope of the managers of the Pine Bluff State Fair Association, however humble and inadequate their beginning, to make the State Fair to Pine Bluff and the State of Arkansas what the Dallas State Fair is to Dallas and to the State of Texas. In this effort let the people of Pine Bluff and the State of Arkansas encourage the management in their laudable efforts. Whatever there may be of present inadequaeY or disappoint- ment should be periodically over looked and an effort made 10 correct it in the future. All Pine Bluff peo- pie should know is that it is a Pine Bluff enterprise and appeals to them for their encouragement, and it should receive a ready response. Whatever mistakes or short comings, if any, can be relegated to the future for correction. If it is ar enterprise that has for it's object the advancement and pros- perity of the city, it should patri- otically receive their patronage.
 The first week of the Fair, it must be admitted, has been dis couraging and financially disastrous. The people of Pine Bluff have not turned out and patronized the enter prise as they should. This is probably due to the bad weather and the Ineompleteness of the ex nioits in several departments at the beginning. But the indications are now for fair weather and the ex- hibits are filing up, especially in Floral Hall, which promises to again be gem of beauty. Exciting races are scheduled for each day; the ob- Jectionable dancing girls have been removed, and the exhibits are filing up and about as complete as they can be made under the circum- stances. The most interesting events are ahead. Monday is Railroad and Labor Day; Tuesday is Arkansas Day." and Governor Jones, the State officers, Senator Jones and other distinguished speakers will be present; Wednes- day is Little Rock Day and there will be large number of visitors from the State Capital; Thursday is Old Soldiers Day, at which time military drill by the Jefferson Fenc- ibles will constitute a part of the exercises followed by an address by Senator Berry, and Friday is the closing day, which will be absorbed by grand celebration of the great achievements of the American Re public. For all of these events the railroads are offering reduced aud excursion rates, and there is no reason why there should not be a large attendance of Pine Blufiars as we'll as visitors.
 Let the people of Pine Bluff periodically respond to this enter prise and encourage it for the future. Let our people turn out enmasse and swell the attendance and gate receipts. Let the people of Pine Bluff stand up for home and their home enterprises. Only in this way can her institutions be made successful and the city great.

Does Baby
hrive?

IF your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
It is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

:, AT last after many days Of weary
waiting we are going to Manila. We
were to have started today but our
boat was not ready and we will have
to wait two or three days yet. Last
Thursday we received orders to en-
bark today. My but thesu boys did re-
joice.. They tossed each other in
blankets and yelled and sang until
they we're hoarse. We have assigned
to the steamer, "St. Paul. which is a
new boat and said to be finest yet, Sc
cured for transport. So by the
time this reaches you we will be on
the rolling deep, bound for our own
Honolulu and after short stop will
hurry on to our boys at Manila.
They have been drilling US very
hard in order to get us in shape to
step right into our regiment when we
reach it and do our part. We have
been drilling n''Golden Gate~Park' -
which is a fine drill ground. The
people come out from the city by the
hundreds every afternoon to watch
US drill and the inspiration of a
large number of spectators is quite a
hello to us. This park is said to be
one of the finest in the world and it
certainly is a most beautiful place.
The vegetation of the entire world
is represented there. The drives and
wakes are lined with tropical plants

myself. Sergeant Town has folded one
blanket since we have been in camp,
and the others have,done about the
the same proportion, possibly a trlae
more.
There is an unconfrmed rumor
abroad that we will draw our first

will welcome it more heartily than

The boys always welcome letters
from home. 1t is assigbt to see, e,caper

lucky enough to receive letters. The
home papers are eagaaly sought after
too. You can see groups of Adrian

and there is an immense glass build
ing in the center of the park in which
are kept all those plants which can
not stand the cold nights. Although
there is no frost here the cold fogs
come in from the sea every night and
makes it quite chilly. It has not
rained since we heve been here.
SanFransisco has climate pecul-
lar to itself and unlike any other
California city. The mornings are
cool then it gets quite warm during
the middle of day but in the after
noon the cool sea breezes come in,
and the nights are chilly and damp.
A few days ago l saw Messrs. Har-
ris and Sutteman two boys who left
the Worthington Co. and enlisted in
heavy artillery branch of the regular
service. They were sent out here by
mistake and should have gone to
Washington D. G. They expected to
be sent to Washington the next day
and understand they have gone.
They informed me that two more

other day visited Chinatown. AL
though it was very interesting I was
Thoroughly disgusted. 1t was the
dirtiest hole ever saw. but it is one
of the hts of Frisco and everybody y
visits it.
There is large hill near our camp
a nd the other day I climbed it to get
birds-eye view of the city. The
veiw was just magnificent 1 could see
the whole of SanFransisco, the mill
tary camps, large part of the bay
and the mountains around it, the
Golden Gate, and miles and miles OF
the grand old Pacific. The scores of
ships tossing in the bay is one of the
prettiest 81 ghts I ever saw.
The boys have great deal of fun
at the expense of the Tennessee boys
because they are SO different from
the rest. When the commanding Of
ficer approaches the gate to one of
the camps the guard is supposed to
call out the guard by calling, Turn
out the guard, commanding officer .
The other day one of our boys heard

immensely for a whole evening at
time.

St.Paul tomorrow to take part in the
exercises at the laying of the corner

boys much better.
There are persistent rumors i'll
regard to the regiment moving at no
distant date, and these are backed
up by active preparations in camp to
put the troops in motion, such as
boxing up the "dog tents" It seems
to be the general opinion that we
will go to Chicamauga although
some think we will go to SanFransis
co. Nothing would be hailed with
more delight by the boys than orders
to move.

in Worthington is on account of our
schools.
Our school is one of the best in the
state, Offering all the advanced
branches of study now offered by any
high school in the state. The enroll
ment exceeds four hundred. There
are twelve grades taught by thirteen
teachers besides the Superintendent.
The school building is of brick. It
contains thirteen study and recitat-
ion rooms, besides the Superintend-
ent Office and the chemical labora-
tory. It was built in 1888, at a cost
of over thirty thousanddollars.
This school affords a great induce
ment for the scholars in the surround
ing country as we'll as those in the vii
lage; and if it improves in the future
as rapidly as it has in the past it will
soon prove that it is unquestionably
the best thing about our town.

think the best thing about our
town is my home. OF course l have
reasons, aud here are some of them:
First, because live near the lake. In
winter tho sskat is- fine and II liv-
ed in some part of town I could not
go so often.
In the summer the lake is nice to
go bathing in on hot day and to 20
boat riding on hot evening. The
park is near the lake and I go there
quite often.
Of course the High School build
ing whore go.school is not very close
but in the summer I enjoy long
walk in the cool morning, and in the
winter I walk so fast and think about
my arithmetic lesson-which comes
first thing in the morning-that l
don't mind the cold.
Another good reason why my home
is the best in town is because do not
live so very near to the business part.
II l look out of my bedroom widow
can see some prairie not very far off
and Oh, how I do enjoy a walk to
that prairie for wild flowers. or wild
strawberries!
My last reason is this: There are
great many trees in Worthington and
as we have none at my home I tn ink
it is so nice because there are so
many trees around here.
Now 1 feel very certain that l have
convinced you that home is the best
place in town. BEULAH sam.
