GRAMMAR SCHOOL
 STUDENTS IN FIRE DRILL.

The students of the grammar school were put through the fire drill Thursday afternoon, and the building was emptied in two minutes. Considering the fact that there were 425 children in the building, of all sizes and ages, and that they have had but little training, this was an excel- lent showing. Prof. Wood tells The News that they are very much Tn need of drum by which the children may be drilled in marching, and The News sug- gests that If the directors feel that the district IS not able to purchase one, a popular subscrip- tion be started to raise the money. Ten or twelve dollars ought to purchase a very good drum for the purpose, and what IS this paltry sum when 1t might pos sibly be the means of saving nu- merous lives in case of frel Here's our fifty cents.

MOSQUITOES FOUND
 IN SPRINGDALE.

During the past-two l. three weeks mosquitoes have been re- ported in different parts of town, and the suggestion has been made to The News that their ap- pearance Is due to the fact that some one has left barrels or tubs of water standing. Mosquitoes are practically unknown in this section, and there ought not to be any. If you keep standing water around your premises pour small quantity of coal oil over 1t, and if there are any mosqui- toes IL will kill them.

SALESDAY ID
 BE RESUMED. Sprinedale Business Men to Re- vive Drawing and Salesday,
 First One to be Nov. l4.

A meeting of the business men was held Monday evening at the office of the Dodson-Renner In- surance Agency to consider the advisa bility of renewing the monthly salesday and drawing, which formerly drew so many people 10 this town. Mayor I. T. Lane was chosen chairman and Juo. r. Stafford secretary.
 The meeting was well attend ed, almost every business house ln town being represented, and 1t was the unanimous sentiment that the salesday and drawing should be revived, and 1t was voted to hold the first one on Saturday, November 14. l. T. Lane, (. F. Rennrr and Jno. P. Stafford were appointed as a com mittee to look after the matter and make all necessary arrange ments. Mir. Lane, who acted as treasurer for the old organization reported that he had on hand about SIS that was left after pay ing all expenses.
 Elsewhere in this issue will be found a list of presents that will be distributed on the first day, November 14. Also the names of the firms who will give tick cts. The affair will be conduct ed exactly as heretofore. and with every dollar spent with any of the merchants whose names appear i'll the advertisement you will be entitled to one ticket. which gives you a chance at the presents to be distributed on salesday, November 14. So YOU can see It will be to your interest to come to Springdale to do your trading.
 The Springdale Milling Com pany will give one ticket with each sack of Challenge four, so Ii you buy sack of this four from dealer who gives tickets you will be entitled to two tick cts, instead of one.
 In order that as many of the presents as possible may go to the country people, 1t was voted that no merchant, nor none ot his family or employees should be allowed to accept tickets.
 The merchants will begin giv- ing tickets tomorrow-Saturday.

FARMERS UNION
 AUCTION TO-DAY.

Today (Friday) IS the date for the auction of live stock to be held in Springdale under the au- spices of the Farmers Union. This organization is trying the experiment of having auctions at different points throughout the district, thus affording the mem- bers an opportunity to dispose of their stock, and also giving the public an equal opportunity to buy same. The News cannot see why the plan should not be a good one, and Is sorry 1t could not have given notice earlier of the sale in Springdale.

CAPT. ]. |. LONG
 MARRIED IN MICHIGAN,

News has reached Springdale to the effect that Capt. J. l.. Long was married few days ago. We have no definite informat tion concerning the affair, except that the marriage occurred in Michigan, the bride being a resi- dent of that state. Capt. Long's Springdale friends were consider ably surprised to learn that he had finally surrendered, but The News don't understand why he should have gone way up in Michigan to do so. However, we will forgive him, and wish for him and Mrs. Capt. Long the greatest happiness.

ONE GAR OF APPLES
 SHIPPED FROM SPRINGDALE

Springdale is not going to get "skunked' on the apple ship ments this year, anyhow. A car load was shipped out last week, having been purchased by Jack Stone, of Paris, Texas. Some apples of very good quality have been on the local market, and almost every orchard has a few scattering apples. Probably N. B. Long, in the southwest part of town, has more apples than any other one grower in this locality, and he thinks he will get one or two cars. The price for apples here depends al- most entirely on the local de- mand, ranging from 50 to 75 cents per bushel.

THE NEWS
 VOTING CONTEST
A Handsome Piano to be Given the Winner as a Christmas
 Present.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found the particulars of the vot- Ing contest to be conducted by The News for the most popular lady, the winner to receive a handsome Ellington Piano.
 The mere announcement last week that We would inaugurate such contest has served to ar rouse much interest, and the af- fair promises to cause more eX- element, in this vicinity, than even the presidential election. The piano which we will give away is really a handsome and durable instrument, and will make a Christmas present of which any lady may be proud. It IS now on display at this office and cordial invatation Is ex- tended to all to come and see 1t.
 The contest opens this week and will close December 24 at 4 o'clock p. III. It IS open to any lady, young or old, in either Washington, Benton or Madison Counties, and anyone who de-. sires to enter the contest has only to clip the nominating blank and bring or send to this office and they will have 100 votes to start on.
 The News has conducted vot- ing contests ln the past which were quite successful, but this one promises to eclipse in inter est all of them. We believe The News IS the first newspaper in this section to conduct a voting contest of this magnitude, but We believe 1t can be done successful Y, and III such q way as to leave no bad results. N. F.. Dodson, postmaster; Lee Sanders. cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, and N. A. Graves, assis- tant cashier of the First National Bank, have kindly consented to take charge of the ballot box and count the votes, and the high standing of these gentlemen as- sures absolute fairness to every one
 Some will no doubt wonder how this paper can afford to give away such prize, and certainly you may be sure we would not do It unless We expected something in return. We want to increase our circulation to 2,000 paid in advance subscribers by the first of the year, and have adopted this means of doing It. Instead of employing a solicitor and pay ing him commissions We have decided to put what would go to the solicitor as commission in d piano, and 1t remains to be seen whether or not 1t will be a losing venture for thls paper. If We secure the number of new sub seribers that we anticipate, and collect what we should from old subscribers in the way of back subscription and renewals, it will be a financial success. Other wise the paper will lose money. In any event the piano will be given away, whether the vote be large or small.
