Woman's Work For the Fair.

Miss Lizzie Cage of Helena, lady assistant manager for the Arkansas exhibit at the worlds fair, is send ing out letters of which the follow ing is a copy;
 Tt is the wish of the Arkansas board of commissioners that Arkan- sas should be we'll represented at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, which opens in St. Louis April 30, 1904, and that each county in the state should have an exhibit, if not in competition, at least in the state building.
 With that end in view l ask your hearty cooperation in my cndeayor to make the woman's department as attractive as possible, feeling sure that with the assistance and active support of the women Arkansas will have a building of which every clti- zen of the state will be proud.
 "Governo Davis, in appointing the honorary commissioners for each county, neglected to make any pro- visions for quite a few, among oth- CTS -. 1 have been instructed by the board to supply the omission. Will you kindly act as chairman of the - county board, or, rather, will you organize q country club for the purpose of collecting exhibits with which to beautify the state building? Paintings in oil, water colors, tapestry, etc, ceremics, py- rography, wood carving, ncedIeWork or any historical relics deemed wor- thy of acceptance by the county board will be gladly received.
 Hoping you aeeede to my request, l enclose a=eopy of the rules and regulations governing the col lection of exhibits, and will give you any further assistance in my pow er."

Divorce Case Decided.

By a decision of the supreme court, passing upon the validity of the act of the last legislature, known as the Walnut Ridge act, authorizing incorporated towns to annex contiguous territory, the city of Little Rock loses the Eighth ward, being the territory lying on the north side of the river. Short ly after the above act was passed the town of North Little Rock, d community without the city limits, was incorporated. Then a petition was presented to the new town coun- cil asking that an election be held for the purpose of allowing the citizens of North Little Rock and the Eighth ward of Little Rock proper to vote on the question of being annexed to the new munich pality. The election resulted over whelmingly in favor of severance from Little Rock. The matter was taken into the courts on the ques- ton of the constitutionalitY and in tent of the act, and the court ruled in favor of North Little Rock. This gives the new town a popula- tion of about 5000 and 1t will be incorporated as d city of the first class.

rate of 6 acres per day. Patent has
been applied for on the invention
and IS machines will be manufact.

The lcveler will prove wonderful

interested should inspect the con,
trivance.
The SHOW fall in the mountains
have been quite heavy this year,
and high water may be expected
in both Columbia and Snake riv-
ers. 1t depends, however, entirely
upon. the weather during the next
sixty days. Should the coming
mouth be cold and backward and
the later part o. May turn exceed
ingly, warm, high water will
be certainty. But this peculiar
condition would bring high water
any season. So after all it does
not depend npon the snow fall in
the mountains as much as it does
upon the weather during May and
Juue. Ifwarm and cold spells al
ternate in May, especially, the
snow will melt gradually without
causing any floods.
