Situation in Turkey,

0lLudtlOA III u4ACys
The present grand vizier OF Turkey 10
Hilmi Pasha. He was appointed to this
Office February Ia. in succession to Kia-
mil Pasha.
Hilmi Pasha was formerly minister of
the interior. Before holding this office he
served as inspector general Of Macedonia.
Ali Ria Pasha is minister Of war and
marine and Is grand master OF artillery.
These and other changes in the cabinet
that took place in February showed the
absolute control of the political situation
by the Young Turks party. or committee
of union and progress, which virtually
imposed on the sultan a ministry of its
own nominees.
The committee February IA publicly re-
pudiated any intention to overthrow the
sultan or to install military dictator
ship. But the crisis and its outcome was
then regarded as not promising well for
the stability Of the throne or the success
of parliamentary government.
1t has been question how the moder-
ate elements of the empire would regard
this assumption of absolute power by an
irresponsible committee.
Opposition to Kaimil Pasha.
The committee of union and progress
consistently opposed kaimil Pasha. Hill
mi Pasha's predecessor. 1t suspected him
of being too considerate of palace infu-
ences and complained of his slowness in
conducting the negotiations with Austria
Hungary and Bulgaria.
April g. Ka;mil Pasha issued a state
ment in which he denounced the commit
tee Of union and progress. to which mach
nations he attributed the vote Of CEN
sure in the Turkish parliament, and the
consequent downfall of his cabinet. The
irresponsible interference of this commit
tee, .Kaimii Pasha declared. had neutra-
lized the efforts of the government and
IL permitted to continue would seriously
endanger the future of the country.

The Local Methodist church was the scene of a very beauti- ful wedding on Tuesday night of last week when Miss Irene King was married to J.L. Woosley, in the presence of a record break ing audience.
 The alter was beautifully de corated in green, with palms and ferns, and a lighted candle burn ing here and there added much beauty to the artful handiwork. At promptly the hour named, 8 o'clock, the ushers, Messrs w. B. Crane and J. H. Humphries entered, which indicated that the bridal party were at hand. Then to the dear old strains of Medelssohn's wedding march by Mrs. E. X. Callahan the entry began. Then carrying large boquets of brides rosses came the Maids. Misses Ella May King and Jessie Reeves, with Messrs. c. R. Marsh and J. 1. Jaynes.

The Fourth Annual Fair of Central Arkansas has been held and is now matter of history. Considering the unprecedented drouth with scarcely no rain since the middle of June it is re- markable that such showingcould be made. This demonstrates the fact though that The Central Ark. Aair Association is fixture and that wind and weather will not prevent their annual exposi- tion. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the weather was threatening and the attendance though reasonably large was probably cut short, but Thurs day and Friday, was fully up to expectations. Thursdays crowd was immense and the capacity of grounds, buildings, and grand stand were taxed to their utmost Friday being childrens day. The young people were out by the thousands.
 The exhibit in Agricultural hall. Messrs Robertson and Rob- bins Supts. was not large as usual but considering the season was a very creditable one, how ever the rice exhibit was not what it should have been and a number of our rice growers have promised that this shall not occur again.

 The management is well pleas ed with the financial result and will have ample funds to pay all purses, expenses and premumes promptly.

However Dr. Dudley as Vice president, has filled the place admirably and the harmony which has always prevailed be- tween members of the bonad of managers has made the work pleasant to all.
