Instead of falling off from yes terday's large attendance at the coun- ty fair, the crowd is even larger today, and is apparently enjoying the big event even more than on either of the previous days. No special program was rendered today, but the three col leges and the public schools of Conway as well as the public schools of large number of rural districts, dismissed for the entire day, and the number of children on the grounds is unusually large. The gun shoot in front of the grandstand furnished amusement for the crowd for about an hour this morning, and the remainder of the time was spent in looking at the eX- hibits and attending the attractions. A constant stream of people packed in the aisles as closely as they can stand are constantly passing through the ex- hibit hall.
 Yesterday afternoons races were decidedly better than the first days program, and the big crowd which witnessed them were well pleased. The results were as follows:
 Auto Race-212 miles. Stakeholder, driven by Murray, first; time, $40. Buick, driven by Duncan, second; time, 3:45.
 Trotting Race = One mile, three heats. Red Messenger (West), first; J. Wood (Scott), second; Paderewski (Dad), third. Time, 2:22R.
 Gentlemen's Riding Race - Daisy ,Bolls), first; Alphonso (Dunlap) l, second; Bess (Hanner), third; Min nie (Owen) Cap. Mack (Newbern) |, and Eagle (Shoat) also entered.
 Flow Horse Race = Three-eighths mile. Daugherty (Thomas Moore) !, first; Gray (Gill RichardsonD, second. Time, 40 seconds.
 One-Half Mile Dash Homer J.. (Jerry), first; Tom Murphy (GilD , second; Dewey (Blackburn), third. Time, 50 seconds.
 The balloon ascension and the fire works were better than on the pre- vious night, and it is estimated that 4,000 people were on the crowds last night.
 There has been no disorder what ever, the big crowd being easily han dled by the officers.

DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee
gear after year without realizing that
1t is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
Il am sixty-five and have had good
deal of experience with coffee. l con-
slider it very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. ! am sure it causes
decay of teeth in children.

spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about
a year ago had rheumatism in my
arms and fingers, got so nervous I
could not sleep, and was all run down.
"At last, after finding that medicines
did me no good, I decided to quit cof-
fee entirely and try Postum. After
using it six months fully recovered

WHAT WIFE SAYS "GoEs."
But 1t Sometimes Is Bad for the
Painting.

When property-owner knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the paint

owner would always hire a skilled
painter, and then really leave every.
thing to him. But the HORSEPOWER SO
often fools himself on one or the other
of these things.
The skilled painter in every comnRl
nifty has some of the most incompetent
competitors that ever vexed a consci-
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in.
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painters
mess around my house MONTH" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost Of lot of wasted painting
money.
II the painter stays away few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones' work I won't

What chance does painterh have to do
good work for man who is continually
nagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning it, OF
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result Of such interference.

logged determination and lavish ex-
penditures of both money and wit, his
widow had brought him to rest. The
most intense and solemn experience
of woman she had missed, for no
children had come to them, but her
husband had been her lover SO long
as he lived, and she had loved him.
She had known great men; she had
lived through wonderful events; land
often her hand had been on those
She had been in tragedies, If an in
violable GOODNESS of head, perhaps of
heart, had shielded her from being of

nearest of her blood, the friends of
her middle life-all had gone into the
dark; yet here she sat, with her
smooth skin and her still lustrous
eyes and her fragrant hands, keenly
smiling over her solitaire. The col
onel wondered if he could ever recon
cile himself with such philosophy to
his own narrowed and emptied life;
she was older than he, yet she could
still find a zest in existence All the
great passions gone; all the big inter
ests; and still her clever mind was

exercise, disdaining the stake, she

Her completely bewildered him, he
not being of complex nature himself.
AS he looked, suddenly he found him
self questioning why her face, in its
revival of youthful smoothness and
tint, recalled some other face, recently
studied by him-a face that had worn
an absolutely different expression;
having the same delicate aquiline nose,
the same oval contour, the same wide
brows-who? who? queried the colonel.
Then he nodded. OF course; it was
the man with the moles, the brother.

Once there was an old woman who
lived in a shoe. She had so many
children that at first she didn't know
what to do.
A friend of the family who hap
pened to come along just then, how

To put one of them in factory.
To have couple more operated on

To put couple of them in a Goa

To send one to a modern public

To bring up another on a pure food
