The Fort Smith Street Fair.

1t is safe to assert that the street fair
which closes today at Fort Smith will
be the last for at least a number of
years. The fair in every respect was
not up to those OF last year and year
before, and the crowds have been much
smaller. The electric decoration Of
Garrison avenue was very good, but
otherwise there was very little In the
shape of decorations, and the booths
and displays were much fewer In num-
Der and less pretentious than during the
two previous fairs. The fireworks dis
plays formed about the only attractive
features on two nights, with one more
display on the programme for tonight.

POPULAR INSTRUCTORS LEAVE.
Departure of Mr.. Hubbard and Mr. Abbott DC
casieng Regret Here.

Mr.. A. B. Hubbard left yesterday for
his home in Virginia. Mr.. Hubbard has
been instructor in mechanical engineer
ing at the A. and M. College the past
year. and during his sojourn in Raleigh
made hosts of friends among all classes
in the community.
Since the close of the session he has
received many complimentary evidences
of the esteem in which he is held by
the student body and alumni, and there
is universal expression or regret at his
departure.
Mr.. L. B. Abbott leaves today for
Carbonate, Pa. Mr.. Abbott filled with
much acceptability the position of in
structor in civil engineering at the col
lege, and very quickly formed mum
erous circle of friends in Raleigh. He
is now considering fiattering offer
from the University of Pennsylvania
and will probably locate in Philadelphia
the coming winter.
1t is distinct loss to the social life
of the city to have these popular gentle.
men remove from our midst land then
friends indulge the hope that they may
some day return to Raleigh to reside.
