Talks of Fort Smith and Pine Bluff and the Two
 Fairs.

On the DOrthbound Iron Mountain passenger train Thursday afternoon were two prominent and brilliant citizens of Fort Smith, Messrs. Geo. Sengel and F. A. Youfnans.

 Mir. Sengel is well known to our people, and BIS clever gentleman has few equals. He is the Demo- crat tic nominee for state senator from the Fort Smith district, and will be elected Monday by an over helming majority. He is one Of the most enterprisiDg of Arkansas citizens. and never misses an onpor- tunity to speak good word for the state and the town from which he halls. He has been over the soutkern part of the state debating with Hon. F. A, Youmahs. They spoke at Hamburg Wednesday night. and in speaking of their trip. Mr Sengel said:
 "1t is very gra atifYing indeed to me to mention that Youman and my self received gentlemanly receptions every wbere we went At Hamburg we were treated royalty and a large mum Der of ladies greeted us the evening we spoke there. At every place we were given respectful and appreciative hearing. The Dem ocrdts came out and took great interest in our meetings. Some peo- pie think because old Sebastian county went against MT. Davis in che primary that she is going to throw him over in the general elec- tion. That is mistake. Sebastian never has failed to support deserv- ing and unquestioned nominee and she will not fail to do itnow. "To leave the political road, I will say that Fort Smith is going to have dandy lair pretty soon and it will surpass anything of its kind e yer given in the south. We are go- ing to entertain the people right and you will never regret it if you at- tena'

Ill tell you we have enterprising citizens in our town. town dop't grow, the cOuHtry grows, but a town is made, made by it's citizens"
 Did you know that we are going to have state fair In October curionsiy asked the reporter.
 "Yes. oh yes. have a very cordial invitation from MT. Will Langford to attend and if can possibly do so, I will be here. Pine Bluff is nicaly located and can make an annual fair pay. You nave a good town and the citIZ.n should do every thing to make the fair an everlasting enterprise"
