The twentieth annual State Fair has
passed into history. 1t was record
breaker from every point OF view. 1t
was the biggest show, the races were
best, there were more new features
and the attendance was larger than ever
before. The weather could not have
been better if 1T had been manufacture
ed to order. The Association feels en-
rouraged and with such liberal patron
age will continue TO improve the an
nual expositions. The attendance On
Children's Day was very large, and
everything passed off very smoothly.
In fact the week was remarkable for its
absence of disorder, considering the
Immense crowds. The Association will
have a handsome balance on the right
side of the ledger this year, and Will be
enabled to carry out contemplated inn
provements. Merchants have all prof
tied by the great influx of visitors, each
of whom have LETT some money.
All is quiet on the Midway The
bookmakers and pool criers no longer
sing their alluring songs to the betting
ring. The mhir of the wheel in the
German Village has died away. The
clang of the starters bell is silenced.
The noisy cries of The "barkers" on
Midway, the poor imitation of Oriental
MUSIC in the couc'lee-eouchee tents, the
melody of the switch-back orchestrion
--all are hushed. Soon after dark the
privilege men began hurried prepar-
atoms for departing for other fields.
The work of destruction was carried on
rapidly and the city of stands and tents
was RACED in far less time than was re-
quired in its construction.
In the cattle pens and various depart
ment buildings a similar work was be-
ing conducted. To-day there will be
masses of debris where yesterday all
was beauty and order. Exhibitors ana
privilege men are adj pleased, patrons
are satisfied, the management is happy.

More Light on the Subject.

Now that it is a fact that our
Arkansas wide awake citizens will
put a ball of light on the dome Of
the Miller county court house, why
cannot the west side raise a fund to
place couple or more lights on the
West Side city hall dome. While
on this subject we would suggest
that the city get permission from
the Federal authorities to place the
arc light now In front of the post
office building, on the steeple of the
building, and this will help light up
a much larger area of the city than
it now does. We should have a
