FAIR ASSOCIATION
 OFFICERS ELECTED
General Satisfaction Expressed on All S;des With the Celebration Many Gave Fruit Exhibits
 to the Association.
Hal l.. Norwood, President. w. Prickett, Vice President. H W. Cardwell, Secretary. q B. Dennis, Treasurer.

At the election held during the last day of the Fair. the usual custom of elccting officers, was observed with the result indicat, d above.
 There is general feeling of satisfaction over the success of the Fair and 1t is considered a decided compliment to the fruit brewers and farmers of Polk county that they were able to make such splendid showing iu so brief a time as was given them this year. The wish is every where expressed that another year exhibitors be given several months for preparation. With this end in view Secretary Scher merhorn took poll of the direc- tors of the association, and with ou. exception they voted for a Fair iu 1908.
 From the most relis ble author ity, as we'll as the citizens in gen. eral, 1t is the opinion that there was a greater number of people from a distance in attendance at Mena's Eleventh Anniversary than has ever been on auy previ- ous similar occasion. This fact is due to the effort of the Fair Association 10 thoroughly adver- tise the occasion and to several travelling salesmen who kindly offered their assistance in dis tributing circulars and inducing people to come, not only to witnes the Fair, but sec the results of the enterprising spirit ex- isting among our citizens since Mena's pioneer days. This fact was noticed too, by great many, judging from the many high compliments paid the city.
 One visitor was heard to re- mark that the only thing he could see in the way of improvement at present would be the grading and graveling of the principal busi- ness streets. This gentleman has travelled extensively during his time and has always lived in the larger cities and stated that he had never seen town the age and size of Mena that had as many good walks and substan' tial buildings.
 Owing to the fact that not more than one-third the time was spent in making preparations for the Fair this year as at all previous times, 1t was feared by great many that the occasion would not be a success. While there were not the usual amount of amusements heretofore furnished, there were number of good ones and they were greatly appreciat- cd by the visitors.
 The exhibits this year were grand and showed to visitors a mark of prosperity. With the ex' ception of possibly the fruit ex' hibit, they excelled those of any nrayious year

It seems that an error was made in The Star in mentiouing < the accident in the equestrian contest, as it is now said that 1t was George Legate who rushed in among the plungiug horses and assisted Mis-, DeLongy out of harms way.

Indians on Education.

Indians on Education.
In 1744 at the treaty Of the govern
ment of Virginia with the Six Nations
at Lancaster, Pa, the Indians were
invited to send six youths to Williams
burg college to be educated free. 1t is
a rule of Indian courtesy not to answer
important questions on the day they
are asked After celebrating they
declined the invitation. They said that
they had sent several young men to
the colleges of the northern provinces
and when they returned they were
poor runners, ignorant of how to get a
living in the woods, could not bear cold
or hunger, could not build a ccbin, take
a deer or kill an enemy and spoke their
own language badly. They were not
fit for hunters, warriors or councillors.
They were totally good for nothing.
'If the gentlemen of Virginia will send
us a dozen of their sons, we will take
! great care of their education, instruct
/ them in all we know and make men OF
them"

Seneca on the WAYS of God.

Why does God aldict the best of men
with ill health or sorrow or other trou-
bles? Because in the army the most
hazardous services are assigned to the
bravest soldiers. A general sends his
choicest troops to attack the enemy III
a midnight ambuscade, to reconnoitel
his line of march or to drive the hostile
garrisOns from their strong places. No
one of these men says as he begins his
march, ''The general has dealt hardly
with me-" but HE has judged we'll OF
me-" Let those who are hidden to suf-
fer what makes the weak and coward
ly weep say likewise, God has thought
us worthy subjects on whom to try
how much suffering human nature cal

OVER AND OVER AGAIN.


Say over again and yet once over again
That thou dost love me. Though the
word repeated
Should seem a cuckoo song" as thou
dost treat it,
Remember, never to the hill or plain,
Valley and wood, without her cuckoo
strain,
Comes the fresh spring in all her green
completed.
Beloved. [, amid the darkness greeted
BY a doubtful spirit voice, in that doubts
pain
Cry, Speak once more = thou lowest!
r. Who can fear
Too many stars, though each in HEAVIER
shall roll,
Too many flowers, though each sinai
crown the year?
Say thou dost love me, love me, love me
toll
The silver iterance, only minding, dear,
To love me also in silence with thy soul!
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
