 LADIES NAMED
To Superintend Departments ill the
 Floral Hall at Fair. r.GrOunds.

Heretofore it has been customary on the part of the Secretary of the Pine Bluff State Fair Associa tion to write to ladies whom he thought would take an active intere in the various departments in the floral hall, and then await their reply. That method was very unsatisfacto- " as some of the ladies would neith- CT notify him Of tbeir acceptance or refus al and he was at loss to know whether to appoint others in their places or to await their coming to the floral hall before and during the fair. This year, it being too late to do letter writing, Secretary M. E.. Bloom has selected a competent number of ladies to take care of the departments in the floral hall, to which they have been separately as- signed. Each one is expected to help the Association and not to refuse. The ladies of the city should take an tASli . III &Ci NCt ih AhC icit dhO iCeAAiH7 ing their excellent worth in the fol- lowing lines.

HON. HARRY H. MYERS RE GENES HIS COMMtS-
 SION.
WAS LONG TIME COMING.
But Better Late Than Never Succeeds Hon. w. G.
 Whipple.

A telegram was received in this city Tuesday from the secretary of the interior at Washington stating that he had just received from President Mckinley the commission of Hon. Harry H. Meyers, of Brink ley, as register of the United States land office at this place to succeed Hon. W. G. Whipple, who was August appoin ted United States district attorney to succeed Judge Jacob Treiber, says the Gazette. Although the appointment has been expected for several weeks, the news that it has been made will be learned with great satisfaction by his friends, both Republican and Democratic, throughout the state. His appoin tment is recognition by the president of the younger men of the Republican party in Arkan sas.
 When Judge John A. Williams 5 died, among the first names men toned as his successor was that of United States District Attorney Jacob Treiber. Col. Whipple was one of those named to succeed to the attorneyship and Harry Myers to be register, if the other appoint ments should be made. The exeeu- tive committee of the Republican state central committee held meet ing and decided to recommend the above for appointment and did so about the middle of July. On Au- gust the news came from Wash ington that Judge Trieber and Col. Whipple had been appointed. but there was no word as to the ap pointee to fill the vacancy thus ere. ated iu the land office. It was sup posed the commission of Mir. Myers was at Brinkley, he being at that time cn speecL-making tour of the state. A new light was thrown on the matter few days later, however, when message was received from Washington asking who Mr. Meyers was. Particulars and further recommendations were sent at once and the verdict of the president was anxiously awaited. Mondays St. Louis papers contain ed special from Washington stat lag that the name of Patrick H.. Laughran had been sent to the president for appointment to the place and it caused some anxiety here. A number of telegrams were sent to Washington yesterday in quiring who Laughran was, as none of the local Republicans had eyer heard of him. During the day J. E.. Bush, receiver of United States lands, received telegram amour cing that Mir. Myers had been ap- pointed.
 Harry H. Myers is about B years of age and is one of the hardest working Republicans in the state
 
 Possessed of more than the usual amount of oratoricai ability, he has given his services freely in the cam paigns the past ten years. Some years ago he ran for congress against Gen. Nell and was dele gate to the national Republican eonyention in 1892 and in 1896. He attended she Republican league con yention at St. Paul. Minn., last July, and was the youngest delegate there. He IS prominent in Pythian and Masonic circles, having been elected deputy grand master of the
