 wonderful dirigible air car that made such sensation at the Worlds Fair and which has made successful flights during the past two years. The daily
 race of the trotting ostrich, Black Diamond" against the fastest horses, | is another unique feature of added | interest from the fact that this won. derful bird was reared in Hot Springs

 daily and nightly fireworks,
 display salutes, the high dive by the Wizard Swan" the | trained animal balloon ascensions and
 double parachute leaps. One of the

 in the most scientific surroundings,
 nurtured and cared for with the ut
 most skill. The sight of this strange Hospital with it's tiny occupants grows

 plant, on the corner of Bridge street
 and Gate avenue, Jonesboro, was de- | stroyed by fire. The company manu- 1 factures lawn seats and chairs, and
 had been in business only short
 time. The origin of the fire is un-
 known, but it is thought by some to
 have been the work of an incendiary.

 ed for $3,000. It is thought that the
 owners will rebuild as soon as possi-
 ble.
