Annual Meeting.
Stockholders of Central Ark ansas Fair Association Held Housing Meeting
 Elected Officers

In pursuance to a call large number of stockholders of the Central Arkansas Fair Associa- ton met at Echlin Hall Saturday evening for the purpose of elect ing officers for the ensuing year. Quite a number were present from nearby towns and a most harmonious meeting was held. The following officers were unan- mansly elected:
 Henry Ellingsworth, President;
 j. w. Colvert, Vice President;
 C. R. Marsh, Secretary,
 E. A. Wilson, Treasurer;
 ". H. Nichols, D. B. Perkins, Dr. E. A. Callahan, G. c. Smith and W. c. Morrison, Board of managers.
 The association, by a unani- nous vote gave the secretary power to appoint his assistant and before the close of the meet ing secretary Marsh announced the appointment of MT. c. 5. Ayres our contemplating druggest. To those who do not know Mir. Ayres we will say that he is a young man of sterling worth and being fully qualified will make an excellent assistant secretary.
 It will be noticed that practical ]y the same officers were e-elec- ted and while some mistakes were made during the past ad- minstration it will be- remember ed that all the officers were new and inexperienced in the duties placed upon them and We believe that the mistakes made we're wholly through ignorance or rather for lack of experience, and thus profting by their own mistakes we believe they will make the Fair Association a splendid set of officers.
 Now that the officers have been selected for another year let's all lend them our assistance in mak- ing the second annual fair a rousing success. Don't stand back thinking that your support will not help, but at every appor- tunity speak a good word or do a good act and the results will be surprising.
 Believing that the establish ment of the Central Arkansas Fair Association was the greatest move ever made for Greater Carlisle, the Independent will continue to support it in the future as in the past-in the best way we know how.

Rice Selling At
 S1 A Bushel,
Demonstration Farms Yield Sold for S7,200-Threshing About Completed and
 Farmers Are Reap
 ing Harvest.

R. F. Wair, editor of the Lono- ke weekly Ledger. was in the city yesterday and told the story of the remarkable grouth of the rice industry at LOnOke and other points in Lonoke. Arkansas and Prairie counties. MT. Wair says the rice industry is now the topic of conversation among owners of large tracts of land on the praires of these three counties and that next year there will probably te twice as much rice planted as was planted this year. The acreage this year is about four times what it was 6 year ago there was scarcely any rice at all in these three counties.
 Mr. Wair was a visitor at the state house yesterday and told Guy B. Tucker, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agri- culture. of the sale of the rice from the government demonstra- ton farm near Lonoke. There were eighty acres in rice on this farm and the rice axernae4l 90 bushels to the acre. An agent for a New Orleans rice mill pur- chased the entire crop of the farm at S1 a bushel or S7,2OO. This is the highest price yet paid for any quantity of rice raised in Arkansas.
 During the past week purchas ing agents for rice mills at New Orleans, Beaumont, Tex, Colds bury, N. C., and Houston, Tex. have been at Lonoke closing con- tracts with the farmers for the rice at price ranging just below a dollar bushel. The price paid for the demonstration farm rice is the highest price per bushel paid. Many of the farmers are getting close to the price, however.
 The threshing outfit have been at work throughout the rice belt for the past two weeks and practically all the rice is now ready for the market.
 In all sections the rice showed mp much better after the heavy rains and windstOrms of several weeks ago than was expected and it is not believed that the loss from this source amounted to more than ten or fifteen per cent. It was stated by severl farmers at the time that their damage would probaly run 25 per cent, but it is not thought the damage has been this great. Additional Locals. News comes to us pretty straight that two modern two story brick or stone buildings will be erected in Carlisle in the , near future.
