A FOURTH OF JULY
STORY.

stil'
They sat down. all three on the edge OF
a grassy terrace and silently watched tho
rockets and Roman candles, and got their
ears accustomed, well as they could, to
the racket that came from all sides-from
the lawns either side, and the sidewalk
Oh the other side of the fence.
Presently, from the cessation of the up
roar in the street, and from a general
movement of the guests down towards the
fence, with exciting shouts and scurrying
of small boys, they judged that something
unexpected had happened. Shriner ran off
to see what was the matter, but before he
could get back, the rattle of wheels and the
clang of an ambulance bell told them plain
ly enough that someone had been hurt
That's the worst of it, said Engle.
''And the best of it, too" said Kitty.

Fourth. In time we shall learn to keep our
national birthday, as you call it, like
rational beings.
Dear mel" said Engle, in some surprise
aren't you rather hard-hearted?'
81 am an American woman who looks to
the greatest good of the greatest number"
said Kitty, very solemnly.
Just then Shriner came running back
with the welcome news that the boy-thc
victim was a boy, of course-had only had
a little finger blown Off and the doctor had
said that the would would not be at all
dangerous. Then the hostess came and
broke up the triangular party by carrying
off her English guest to Introduce him

Whether Engles removal was also to the
satisfaction of Kitty Birk did not appear
SO plainly; in fact, that was what Shriner

SHRINER'S TEST. y

THAT man doesn't more than half mean
what he is saying" Andrew Shriner whis-
pered to his neighbour, as the Englishman
who was just bringing his after-dinner
speech to close began a strongly Ameri-
can altogether fraternal preoration.
Il don't see what right you have to say
that the girl answered. And besides, If
he doesn't there are plenty of other people
who say what they don't mean" And she
shot wicked glance at him over her Shout
der.
1t was an open-air, Fourth of July dinner,
the guests at the Birk place all seated-to
the number of about a seore-about a long
table set on the lawn and covered by an
awning to protect both the feast and those
who enjoyed it against the fall of chance
rocket sticks, for it was about sunset and
time for the pyrotechnics to begin.
i IL tell you when he's through whether
I'm right or not, said Shriner IF I'm
wrong, I'll own up"
Another girl, sitting on the same side of
the table, looked at shriner and frowned.
signifying that he should not interrupt the
speaker by whispering.
And therefore" the Englishman con-
Guided, throwing his shoulders back. IT
say that on this glorious evening we should
all remember that we celebrate, not the in

THE STATE FAIR.
Shall the State Fair die?

Shall the State Fair die?
 That is the question that presents itself to Pine BlufIians at present for their careful consideration. Itis not a theory" but a condition" that confroats us.
 Tbe last Fair has probably been held in this city for sometime unless our merchants and business men come to the front with private sub scriptions to lift the indebtedness of the Association.
 The last Fair was financial sue- cess ana paid it's way through, but as result of the idhospitable wealth CT and the disastrous ten-day fair of 1898, there is still debt hanging over the Association of at least S1O00.
 The S3000 paid in by the stockhold- CTS has been exhausted, hut the As sociation has buildings and improve ments at Inc Fair grounds that cost $3000 ard over. The Association has as much in buildings as was originally paid in, but a Fair can't be held with buildings alone. There is also $2O00 in stock yet remaining in the treasury, which shows that the Association has practically lost nothing. The Fair would be self sustaining had not SD much money been required for buildings and i'm .provements at the park.
 But another Fair cannot be held without more money, therefore, at the stockholders meetlug Friday afternoon committee consisting of Messrs. Fred Fox, Isaac Dreyfus, w. D. Hearn, Joe Cromwell, R. M Knox, J. w. Allen aud !. B. Tru- lock was appointed 10 solicit pri- yate contributions to lift all in- debtedness.
 It seems to be the sentimeL of the Pine Bluff people that the Fair is worth in a business way more than it costs, and they don't want to see the enterprise fail. During fair week there are hundreds of visitors who come to the city, wit- ness the fair. buy their goods, have Il good time and spend their money. People from abroad have come to look upon tho Fair us a fixed fact, and now that it is somewhat estah- lished, the attendance will no doubt increase each year. Another thing is that no more money will have to be paid for buildings, and these al- ready on the grounds will be to- tai loss if the Fair is abandoned.
 The proposition, therefore, to lift the indebtedness of the association by private subscription and eontin- ue the Fair is one that appeals to every citizen.

An epidemic of typhoid fcvor seems
TO prevail In Ncwbcrry. 1t seems to be
more prevalent around the factory than
any whore else. This Is somewhat un-
common for Ncwbcrry. There is GER
| tanly Il cause for the germ TO exist
We noticed some time ago some COM
plant was made about the water, say
ing that 1t was supposed that the water
in tho stand pipe had become infected; {;
but an explanation was soon given say
ing that twas hardly probable, us there
was 20o,OO gallons of fresh water going
in every day, and is pumped in at tho
bottom with such force that it kept the
water agtatcd to such an extent that
all impurities, if any, would likely
flow to the top. This looks reason
able. ID Is not our purpose to dictate
to the city Of Ncwbcrry or any other
place where we are not directly inter-
cstcd. But from what little time we
have been il and around Newbcrry We
think we know what she needs to make
her people more healthy. Just travel
around those back streets and through
factOryvillc late in the evening and
you can soon sec that the whole atmos-
phcrc is infected. The fact of the bust
ness is, the city has become so denscly
populated that the impurities uccumu-
late to such an extent that nothing but
line of cwcragc to carry it of will
answer the purpose. We don't sup
pose that there is any one in the city
who would question the fact that the
greatest need Of the town today is Il
thorough system of sewerage. New
berry is still looking forward to build
inE up and further increase her popula-
ton Then it seems to us that there is
nothing more important for her to look
after than the health Of the town. So
what is she waiting ON? She is up-to-
date in everything clsc. People like
TO move to Il healthy town.
Mr.. Thos. w. Ecllcrs returned from

We are glad TO note that he is much

The long wished for rain has come ut

crs upon our parchcd earth sooner.
Last Monday and Tuesday VIC had nice
showers, and "Wednesday it raincd
pretty we'll all day. Now that the
thirsty earth is once more satisfied.
