IS THE LITTLE ROCK STREET FAIR, SAY OUR ClTl-
 ZENS.
NOT HELD ON STREETS.
But at West End Park "A Cred itable Fair in so Short a
 Time.

The Little Rock street far. which opened last Tuesday. is doing excel lent. Large crowds are in atten- dance every day. Their exhibits are magnificent. The street railways are crowded. Everybody in the Rock is manifesting a hearty co- operation in the movement. New exhibits are arriving daily. The street fair. however, is not held es other street fairs, but at West End Park. All kinds of side attractions are In evidence. shows galore. No racing. however, is had.
 Wednesday quite a large crowd left for Little Rock from this city. Upon their return they give vent to the following commendatory ex- pressions and congratulations;
 MT. Chas. Veil. one of our most prominent business men, who at tended on Pine Bluff day, says. "I never saw such a fair. It is beyond question a grand success. The co. operation of the citizens bespeaks that for it to begin with. The neighboring cities also are lending their cooperation in making it @ success, both as to the exhibits and the Financial part. Yes, there is a charge made, only nominal, how ever. The exhibits are really good The large IT erchants of Little Rock have displays in their lines une- qUaled. I believe though that it does not reach the third annual fair in this city this year. It can of course be attributed to lack of time on the part of the Little Rock street fair committee. It is a sue cess.
 Circuit Clerk ]. A. Langford: "Why, think it is a most credita- ble showing on the part of Little RoeK. They only had a brief time in which to get ready. but they were ready when the time arrived. Any deficiencies or lcst expectations en the part Of visitors to the fair should remember that this is the first street fair Little Rock has ever had and is a new venture ia the fair line. 1t was a success and large crowds were present on Pine Bluff day. No, have no jokes to tell about the entertainment whatever. :"
 City Engineer White-"It was a good fair and credit to Little Rock. It should receive encouragement by a liberal patr onage.''
 City Clerk Lee What have got to say about the street Fair? Well. It's at the park. They have excellent exhibits. No rac!ng whatever. Pine Bluff should ar- range for street fair"
 Mr. Mickey Holland, inspector of all good things in the amusement line, said: "It's the real thing. If you have any doubts attend. The street cars are ever doing more than a fair business. Their exhibits are the best l have seen in a loug time. Pine Bluff holds the banner, howev- CT. We may not be the capital city, but we can give them a capital fair. We should. believe, see what Pine Bluff can do in the street fair busi- ness. We have the park all right and we will have the street cars.''

tion at Bath Seminary in Kentucky,

tered upon the study of law in the
spring of 1898. He graduated in
the law department Of Columbian
university of Washington, ID. c., in
the spring of 1897. and was ad-
mitted to practice before the local
bar in the same year, forming n
partnership with his present part
ners, Van Pelt and Monfort.

Condition of Crops and Live

WHEAT.
The absence of growing wheat dur
ing the month of March has left the
solution of the fate of the late wheat
to the future. The condition of early
wheat is still reported excellent, and
i'm few counties, where the major
portion of the crop was sown early,
the prospect for full average crop
is good. Severe freezing while the
soil was saturated has further weak
ened the vitality of the plant, and
were it not for the remarkable re-
cuperative qualities so often shown
We might despair of receiving any
returns from considerable per
cent. of the acreage. A number of
correspondents report that the acre
age will surely be reduced by plowing
up and sowing to other crops. We
would advise that ample time be
given for development. before resort
ing to this measure. All vegetation
is fully one month late, and the pros
pect should be judged accordingly.
Heavy rains have also damaged the
crop by washing gullies in the rolling
lands and by overflowing the bot
toms.
The condition April lst averages;
u as compared with nSrmal years, a
loss of three points since March lst.
The average condition on this date
for the past three years has been as
follows: 1898, l0l 1897, 81; 1896, 60.
The western section shows the
lowest average condition, 60. In the

i .-E-GE.
How fading are the Joys we dote
upon!
Like apparitions seen and gone;
But those which soonest take their
flight
Are the most exquisite and strong;
Like angels visits, short and bright,
Mortality's too weak to bear them
long"
Plucked by the cruel and relentless
hand of death, like bud just open
ing to be caressed and kissed by the
genial rays of springtimc sun.
Philosophers may speculate, and
dogmatize, as they will, but the fact
remains. stern and stubborn, aside
from Christian ethics, death still re-
mains "the King of Terrors." How
doubly sad it seems that a human
life with almost infinite possibilities
should terminate upon the very
threshold of existence! But perhaps
it is best; We cannot fathom with our
wisdom, which at best is but igno-
rance, the plans and purposes of the
Infinite. We only know that the
Great Teacher and Exemplar of
mankind said, in words as tender
and sacred as kiss of love, "Suifer
little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven" Every father
and mother that has lost a child will
cherish these words as the sweetest
and most fragrant flowers in the urn
of memory. This unconditional in
vitation of the Christ to children will
doubtless comfort and cheer the sad
dened hearts of Jefferson Dawson,
Jr., and his wife (nee Miss Mary
Warner), who are now mourning for
their little daughter Eliza Louise,
"who is not, for God took her." This
little girl, who stayed SO short a
time on earth, had entwined herself
around the tendrils of the hearts of
her father, mother and grandparents
as only n child can. She was born
Feb. 18th, 1899, and died April Sth,
1899. The circumstances surround
ing her death were peculiarly sad.
With her parents, she had fallen
asleep seemingly i'm good health, but
while the parents were wrapped in
slumber a messenger from the skies
came and claimed the sweet, unsul-
lied spirit of their child. AS gently
and peacefully as die the crimson
lights along the sky at close of day
passed this little child up to God who
gave it. There was no struggle, no
pain, but a quick transition to fields
of life and light! The parents have
new interest in Heaven now. \ little
angel of God awaits their coming.
'.There is a reaper whose name is
Death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at n
breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
Shall have naught that is fair.
saith he;
Have naught but the bearded grain?
Though the breath of these flowers is
sweet to me
] will give them all back again"
And the mother gave, in tears and
pain,
The flower she did most love;
She knew she would find the flower
again
In the fields of light above"
And so, may the parents and grand.
parents be comforted by these words
\ FRIEND.
