SECOND PRIZE
AWARDED PINE BLUFF AT THE TEXAS STATE
 FAIR.
The Pine Bluff Schools Captured Sec ond Prize on Free Hand
 Drawing at Dallas.

Among the many exhibits at the Dallas State Fair, which closed last Saturday, were specimens Of pen manship and free hand drawing.
 The Pine Bluff schools entered into competition with their neighbors of Texas, and were rewarded for their efforts by receiving the second prize for the second best exhibit ol penmanship and free hand drawing. There were three prizes offered, and of course Dallas did herself the hon. or of awarding the first prize to the Dallas schools, while Pine Bluff cap tured the second prize. We are not informed as to the third award.
 This does great credit to cue local school system and shows that Pine Bluff is fully abreast of the times along educational lines.
 It is needless to say that Supt. Hinemon is duly proud of the honor conferred upon the Pine Bluff schools. Yesterday he was busy arranging the Dallas exhibit on the second floor of Floral Hall, at the Fair grounds, where it will be ready for inspection today. The second prize badge received at Dallas will occupy a conspicuous place in the exhibit.
 We congratulate Supt. Hinemon and his corps of assistants upon their honors won in Texas.

UNSEASONABLY COOL
THERE WAS A GENERAL ABSENCE OF RAINFALL
 LAST WEEK.
Cotton and Corn Continue to R the Field and the Yield of Both
 Is Greatly Reduced,

The weather bureau of the United States department of agriculture issues tue following climate and crop bulletin for the week ending October T.:
 The weather has been unseason- ably cool, aud there has been a gen eral absence of rain except on the first and last days of the crop week. Following are the amounts of pre- cipitation for the week: Brinkley 1.60 inches Forrest City, 1.17; Fort Smith, 3.60; Helena, .95; Little Rock, 1.09; Malvern, I09; Newport, 1.38; Pine Bluff, I.04; Prescott, 1.2l Rus sellvilIe, 3.22; Texarkana, 43.
 Light frosts have occurred in ex- posed places over the State, but they have not damaged vegetation.
 In many places the ground dried out sufficiently to permit stubble breaking, cotton picking and corn gathering, all of which work had been seriously delayed by wet weather. Cotton and corn continue to rot in the fields, and the yield of both has been greatly reduced. There is d scarcity of cotton pic kers. Peas have routed considerably, but other minor crops are doing fairly well.

Mr.. F. S. Blaylock and son,
Ernest, had an unpleasant expert
ence at Middleburg Tuesday of last
week. Riding in buggy, driving
a spirited horse, they crossed the
railroad track a short distance south
of the station. Noticing an APP
preaching freight train from the
north and expecting it to stop at
Middleburg, they drove leisurely
along the public road, which runs
for some distance almost parallel
with the railroad. Instead of stop
ping, the train went through at a
rapid rate of speed, and without
warning, so Mr.. Blaylock informs
us. The horse became frightened
and attempted to run, but was held
in check. The buggy was twice
overturned and damaged. Mr..
Blaylock escaped with few scars.
His son was uninjUred.

OUR SCHOOLS.

On Tuesday morning,
Feb. 22nd., it was my privi-
lege, as well as a very great
pleasure, to be one of the
number who witnessed the
celebration of George WASH
ington's birthday by the pu-
pills in the primary depart
ment of our Public School,
taught by Mrs. @. NJ. Well
Ions. The exercises were APP
propriate and interesting.
The parts of the history and
life of the Gather of our
Country were presented by
the little "tots'' in a graceful
and impressive manner. Each
boy and girl responded with
accuracy and dignity when
called on by their teacher to
present tributes Of honor to
the first chief executive of
our country and mingled
their childish voices in per-
feet time=singing in concert,
lead by their teacher. These
exercises convey a lesson that
will be so impressed upon the
minds and consciences Of
these little boys and girls
that they will remember and
cherish them in after years.
This exhibition of talent
proves very conclusively the
result Of thorough and dill
gent training on the part of
an untiring and competent
teacher. [ wish every parent
in Bolivar could have been
present and then [ am sure
we all would join in congrat-
ulating ourselves for having
secured the services of one so
fitted and competent to in-
struct and direct The minds of
our little folks as Mrs. Wei
Ions.
We all should feel justly
proud of both Of our schools
in Bolivar, and we should
encourage their progress.
[ am proud to know there
will soon be a handsome adj
dition made to the already
spacious buildings Of st.

Senator Bate made a speech Tues
day against the bill to increase
the army by the addition of two reg
Iments of artillery of sos men each.
He said he was opposed to the adj
ditional taxation which such an ex-
penditure would necessitate, and
saw no need for it at present.
When necessity arose, he said he
would be among the first to vote for
an addition to the army. But we
already had a skeleton army which
was in need of recruits, and it
would be a simple waste of money
to authorize additions when they
were not needed.
Senator Bate spoke very feelingly
