The managers of the Addison County
Fair, anticipating the biggest fair in the
history of the society, are now busily
engaged making arrangements to pro-
perly house the exhibits and take care
of the crowds of people that may come.
The new and convenient Horticultural
hall, built the present season, should
attract the attention of every one, as
here may be found the various products
of the farm, fields, garden and orchards.
Farmers, bring in and exhibit the pride
of your products. Cushing Hill will be
the new superintendent here and he
expects to inject new life into this
department.
Mechanics hail. built last year, will be
none too large for the display of agri-
cultural implements, steam and gas
engines, separators, etc. One of the
exhibitors last year said that he sold
more machines at Middlebury than at
any of the other twentyfour fairs that
he attended. This has gotten abroad
and applications for space from the
large city manufacturers are being re-
ceived daily by Superintendent Jack
son.
Several additions and changes have
been made in the premium list, bringing
it up to date. In the cattle department
every class has had SOS added in prem
iums. Premiums in class have been
doubled by making two purses, one for
matched pairs of driving horses 15t and
over and one for under Is hands. In
class II the usual premium is now offered
! for trOtting-bred brood mare and colt
and new one offered for draft brood.
mare and colt. In Addison county
there are many nice sheep that are un-
registered and there has been quite a
demand that such receive recognition
A class has been added for them Goats
will also receive premiums this year.

Re m arka BILE Coincidence.

1t is a remarkable coincidence that on
the same day (Monday), that John
Stewart, of Westford, was killed by a
bull on his farm, his brother, w. D..
Stewart, of Bakersville, the well known
lawyer and politician, had narrow es-
cape from death by an enraged bull on
his own farm. w. D. Stewart saved
himself from the attacks of the infuri-
ated animal by dodging around hay

NO SPECIAL CHOICE
DEMOCRATS OF JEFFERSON AND
OTHER COUNTIES ARE
Ui>DECIOED,
When 1t Comes to a Presidential Nomi-
nee for the Democratic
PREFERS NO INSTRUCTIONS.

Prominent politicians in Jefferson
and other counties in South Arkansas
say that this section of the state really
has no choice between Parker and
Hearst for the Democratic nomination
for PRESIDENT but either will be ac-
ceptable tc them. The endorsement Of
Hearst by five counties in the recent
county convention meetings is taken
to have no real meaning aside from
the efforts OF leaders in these counties
to get their candidates endorsed
Most of the counties have sent their
delegates uninstructed to the conven-
ton, which meets in Hct Springs next
June, and the endorsement of five out
seventy-five counties in the state will
have but little effect in carrying the
state if Judge Parker's friends rally
to him. A local politician of promi-
nence said today that the action of
five counties in declaring for Hearst
rather took the Parker and Olney men
by surprise, and would have no especi-
al effect on the convention. There are
still many who prefer to have Arkan-
sas send an uninstructed delegation to
the national convention at St. Louis,
and a combination of all the different
forces may result in an uninstructed
delegation

New Hctel

Pine Bluff IS to have a fine new
hstel soon, and the work of construc-
ton has begun. Messrs. Holland and
Lampert, proprietofs of the Brcollhili
hotel and bar, are building an addition
to their place at the corner CT Alabama
and Third streets by which they say
they will make the largest and best
equipped hotel in the city. The Old
Rubber Top theatre building which
has occupied the lot back of the Brook,
hill has been torn down and in its
place there will be erected a three.
story building which will jain the
present Brookhill building. Another
story will be added to the BrookhiIl
building and the two together will com.
plete one of the largest buildings in
the city.
The entrance to the new hotel will
be on Alabma street in the center of
the building. The saloon will remain
where it is and will be known as the
Brockhill saloon but the hotel will
be for the accommodation of both la.
dies and gentlemen. In fact, they pro-
pose to make it a hotel up to date.
Accommodations will be furnished
beth on the European and American
plans, and large ladies' and gentle
mems dining room will occupy one of
the lower floors. Mr.. Holland says
the firm of Holland and Lampert will
spend much money in equipping and
furnishing the place properly, and they
will have Accommodations for several
hundred guests. He wants to empha
ladies as well as gentlemen, and a
man need have no fear Of taking his
wife there with him.
The location of the building makes
the prospect for doing a good hotel
business excellent. 1t is just across
the street from the Cotton Belt depot
and the Arlington hotel. The negro
saloon next to the hotel will proba-
bly, be turned into a first class restau.

Spur Track Ordinance.

The ordinance committee reported
the spur track ordinance for the third
reading and final action The ordi-
nance provides for a tax of $25 per
year on the switches or spur tracks
which are used in serving the ware
houses.
Mr.. S. c. Alexander, president OF
the beard of trade, appeared on behalf
Of the board of trade, protesting for
that boay. He contended that the
switches were for the benefit of the
wholesale people, and if any tax was
paid the consumers ought to pay it.
Alderman We'll favored the ordi-
nance and saw no reason why the
railroads ought to be opposed to the
pitiful sum of $25 per year for the
switches.
Alderman Nichol opposed the ordi-
nance. and said it was an unnecessary
fight on the rallroads. He thought the
convenience of the switches Cvercame
the inconvenience to the general pub
lie.
Alderman Jordan also opposed the
ordinance. He was willing to listen
to- the business men who opposed the
ordinance.
Alderman Clement also opposed the
ordinance.
Alderman We'll said the ordinance
was not a new one, and he couldn't
see why the aldermen had changed
their views SO suddenly. He said the
merchants who received the benefit
of the switches We're willing to pay the
tax, and saw no reason why the tax
should not be paid.
Alderman Boyce thought it ridicu-
lous for the merchants to complain of
$25 per year tax and thought
the board of trade had the wrong idea
of the ordinance. The city needed
the revenue, and he thought the mer-
chants who had their property improv-
ed to such an extent ought to be pub
lie spirited enough to pay the tax
The saloon men paid almost ten times
the amount of tax asked of the whole
sale men. He believed the tax not on
ly reasonable but absurdly low. He
believed the board of trade, in taking
up the matter, had made themselves
ridiculous.
Alderman Fox was also opposed to
the ordinance, end said he had changed
his views since he had first voted for
the ordinance. He believed every
wholesale man was paying enough tax.
After all the councilmen had talked
at some length on the matter, Alder
manMeyer made motion that the or
dinance be tabled. The motion car
ried, Aldermen Clement, Fox,
