The Carlisle independent., 1909-03-04

The board of directors of the Central Arkansas Fair Associa. tion held a meeting last Satur- day and transacted such busi- ness as came before them. The principal topic of the discussion was the new catalog which they revised and ordered the secre- tary to prepare the copy for the printer and advertise for bids on same. It will be some weeks however before the book will be ready for the printer but they are starting early to get it to- gether so it will be out on time. The fair this fall promises to be the bert ever, and by starting now they will be assured of a much larger number of exhibits than ever before.
 The meeting held last Thurs day was largely attended and a great deal of interest was mani fested in the subject discussed. It was decided to make three plantings of tomatoes about three weeks apart, by which method they hope to furnish fresh sound fruit to the factory in such way as to keep the plant running al- most constantly throughout the season.
 c. T. Swain has moved his family into the Bacus property in the east part of town and will make Carlisle his future home. He recently sold his farm south west of town to J. H. Pillow, of Helena, who is improving the property and will make an ideal rice farm of the property.
 D. P. Boyd has moved his family back to Carlisle and has moved into his own property south of the railroad.

Death of Mrs. Parkin.

The death angel again swooped down on our community and this time it is one of our oldest pio- neers as well as the most widely know and best loved old ladies who answered the summons which terminates our existence in this world and takes us to our reward in that great beyond, from which none return.
 It was with a feeling of deep sorrow that we heard last Mon day that Mrs. Margaret Parkin had succomed to the attack of paralysis which she suffered about three weeks ago and while the loss was not unexpected the loss is felt none the less keenly for in her death the town loses one of it's most highly respected citizens, the church one of it's most earnest workers, the neigh borhood one of it's best neighbors, the family, kind and loving mother.
 Margaret Wilson was born in Canada about A years ago and was married to on Noy. 29th. 1860 to Mr. Parkin. They moved to Michigan in 1860 where they lived for P years, moving to Ark ansas in May 1882, where she resided until her death which occurred March 1st 1909. She was the mother of seven children, three of whom, with their father have preceded her to the grave. Four of the children still survive her and were in attendance at her bedside when she died. Those who survive her are: Mrs. Mary Muzzy, Mrs. W. c. Morrison, both of whom reside in Carlisle, Mrs. Ella P. Collins, of Los Angles, Calf, and S. B. Parkin, who is also resident of Carlisle.
 The funeral was held at the Methodist church in Carlisle, Tuesday, March 2nd., the ser vices being conducted by Rev. F. N. Brewer of Gurdon, who was formely pastor of the church here, and was called back at the request of Mrs. Parkin before her death. The funeral was largely attended and the sermon, which was a just tribute to her sweetness of character, her long seyyice as an earnest worker in the church and splendid work both as a home maker and moth CT, was listeded to very attent- ively by the church full of her old friends and neighbors who had gathered to pay their last respects to all that was mortal of their kind and sympathetic friend and neighbor.
 The sympathy of the entire community is with the family in their loss of the truest and best friend and counselor.

The contract for furnishing the rice milling machinery for the big $60,00O mill to be erected here was let last Thursday to Philip Rahm & Co.,, of New Or leans. The contract calls for all machinery installed in the build ing and the consideration is S25,- GOO, the building is to be built in in accordance with plans and specifications furnished by the machinery company. The build ing is to be finished ready for the machinery by June 1st in or der to give ample time to get ev- cry piece of machinery set up and tested in time to handle this years crop of rice. In order to get the building ready by that time work will have to commence at once. Material has been pur- chased for the work and as soon as the siding has been laid to the mill site so they can unload di rect from the cars to the ground the material will be here. A rail road official was here the first of the week from the head office at Chicago and promised that work would start on the switch within d few days with sufficient force of men to rush it to com pletion in a very short time.
 At meeting of the board held Monday evening arrangements were made to start the erection of the buildings just as soon as the plans are received. It was thought at first that the build ings would be built by contract by the company but it was de- cided that this would not be giv- ing the laboring people of Car lisle an opportunity to realize anything on the money that will be paid out for labor and the plan which was adopted is that they hire man to superintend all the work from foundation to roof and there would be no contract let only the board of directors buying the material and putting this man in charge of the work. The man selected for this important position was F. M. Goodbar of Lonoke who has had experience in this kind of work and guarantees that the work will be done according to the plans given him.
 The contract for the power plant is the last one to he let and will no doubt be arranged for within the week for a meeting of the board has been called for
 March 10 when it is thought that this contract will be signed up with some one of the dozen or more firms who make a speciality of large power plants and of course each one says his is the best for the work required of it At any rate it is now only a mat ter of days when work will start on the main building and then we will begin to gain some idea of the amount of work the Board has been doing the past month or two, for it is no easy matter to pick from among a mass of figures and drawings just the particular plans which are best suited to the needs of
