FIT. SMITH WANTS
 TRAVELLERS TOO
But Pine Bluff Will Make a Bid for the Fifth Annual Outing of the
 Arkansas Travellers.

Fort Smith travelling men are warm ing up for the big annual meeting of the Arkansas Travellers to be held at Eureka Springs June 6, and 8, says the Fort Smith American A special train will be run out of this city on the morning of the 9th, carrying all the travelling men from here and sev eral hundred other business men and citizens.
 A committee of the organization has been making the rounds of the job bers and business men the past few days organizing the crowd for the spe cial train and to put up vigorous fight for the location of the next an- nual meeting in this city, and they have met with fattering success and enthusiasm.
 It is really Fort Smiths turn to cap ture this big event.
 Eureka Springs has it this year, Lit tie Rock had it last year and Hot Springs two years ago. Pine Bluff will put up a vigorous fight for it and will probably be our most formidable rival.
 By the time of next years meet the Arkansas Travellers will number quite 5000 members. The knights of the grip turn out well at these annual meetings, and, with their wives and the other visitors who would natural ly come, 1000 people would be a con servative estimate on the number that would be present in Fort Smith next year for the three days session-cer- tainly a very important meeting, and one very desirable to secure from both social and financial standpoint
 The Fort Smith travelling men are the business men and citizens to send a strong representative crowd to Eu- reka Springs to secure the meeting. The fare will probably be one fare plus 50 cents for the round trip The boys will be around in few days ask ing contributions for band and other necessary expenses and should meet cordial welcome.
 The entertainments at Eureka Springs will be parades, fantastic and otherwise, baseball, minstrel shows, glee clubs and the thousand other odd, original and unique things that only bunch of drummers could conjure up with which to enjoy themselves and tickle the public.
 Lewis H. Moore of Ozark will be candidate for election to the presidency of the order and is backed by the Fort Smith bunch. MT. Lewis is one of the oldtimers, has hosts of friends who will help to land him and will make an excellent man to place at the head of the Travellers, on account of having splendid executive ability, good judgment and a high regard for the order.
