in existence where the needs and com forts of the patrons have been more carefully considered than at Oaklawn Park, the Arkansas State Fair Grounds. The elaborate $500,000 grounds were wonderfully well equipped in every respect before the Fair Association began remodeling. There were complete water works, electric light and sewerage systems, etc. The Fair Association has added materially to each of these important factors. The double track trolley line enters the Grounds at the main gate and the electric car service over this line has been so arranged that it will amount to a continual stream of cars from six o'clock in the morning until one o'clock the following morning. Five thousand passengers can be car ried each way within single hour. This is an unusual advantage, which, coupled with the modern gate system being established, will be of the great est convenience to the public. Two large check rooms are being built for
  tion of the Park has been set aside as Rest Park" and is being equipped with seats and tables for the pleasure and service of the State Fair Visitors. An elaborate daily program and guide to the Grounds is being published
 which will be given away free to many thousand visitors, and will be well worth saving as a souvenir of the First State Fair. The extensive work of building added stables for the stock department, making the great Midway Pikes, shelving for the thousands of exhibits, equipping the Auditorium, and added electric lighting, etc., has been completed and the Grounds are
 in readiness just one month before the
 opening day of the State Fair. There will be no delay On October 1st, the opening day of the Fair, everything will be as complete as on October 10th, the closing day. Ire
 An appeal in the case of The State
 vs. John F. England, filed in the Su- preme Court September 15, from the
 Circuit Court of Little River county.
 contains a new point in liquor law litigation. England was fined $50 for i selling liquor illegally. The manner in which he disposed of the whiskey led to the appeal from the verdict, | which England claims is not in ac- l cordance with the law on the subject. England, who is postmaster and sta. 1 tion agent at Allene, delivered four quarts of whiskey to patron of the l railroad company which had been l shipped there by the Harvest Distill. | ing Company of Kansas City. Ihe man to whom the whiskey was sold
 ordered it sentfrom Kansas City When he was notified that it had arrived at ] Allene, he called and after making
 out a money order for s3.50 in pay /. ment for the liquor, it was given to
 him by England The contention of | the state, which was upheld by the | jury, was that England sold the li ] cuor illegally to the man when he SSve possession of the whiskey. An | other liquor selling case of almost i equal interest which was filed O. the same date was that of The State vs. John Anderson, who was convicted l in the Little River Circuit Court of | selling whiskey to minor and fined | $50. Jim Boyle, fifteen-year-old boy, gave Anderson fifty cents with | which to procure half pint of whis-
 key for him. Anderson took the iden- tical fifty-cent piece given him by Boyle, purchased the whiskey ;and | gave it to Boyle. He claims that he
 is not liable for selling whiskey to a minor.
