Each visitor is given ticket entitling him to a chance at a valuable present to be awarded at the close of the fair.
 Wilson Bros. X Livingston have an other very attractive booth in the ex- hibit hall and their display has at tracted much favorable comment.
 A very pretty booth is that of J. J. Livingston, the jeweler, filled with sparkling cut glass and beautiful jew elry,
 The Conway oil mill has a unique display showing their four products, cotton seed oil, hulls, meal and cot ton batting. They also show the va rious stages of the seed from the raw material to the finished product, mak- ing very interesting exhibit.
 S. c. Smith has a large enclosure on the grounds, in which his vehicles and farm machinery are shown. One Iof his features which attracted much attention was the loading of nearly 100 men on a Leudinghaus wagon drawn by "CoWsee, or Red Horse" who claims to be the strongest man living. Fourteen-foot timbers were laid across the wagon and every man who could possibly crowd on the wag- on stood there while Cowsee, geared Tn a harness of his own, drew the wagon along the race track. It was stated that the weight of the load on the wagon was about 1S,00O pounds.

There seems to be general scarcity of teachers in the rural districts of this county, number of The Log Cab- in Democrats correspondents report ing that the directors have been un- able to secure anyone to take charge of the schools.

Their district is No. 25, and they request that any competent per son desiring the position will corre- spond with the directors at once, as it is desired to begin the school No vember 1.

Hot Springs, Oct. 7.-Famous Oak lawn came into it's own again today when the gates opened for the fourth annual Arkansas state fair and indus trial exposition. With bands playing
 flags flying from every building, and a hearty welcome for all, Hot Springs turned over the keys of the city and the fair grounds to the thousands of visitors who came from every part of the state and many from other states to be on hand Arkansas Day. at the grand opening.

VETERANS AND BABIES IN
 CHARGE OF CLOSING DAY

The Confederate Veterans and the babies are in joint control of the clos ing day of the Faulkner county fair, and the program is one of the most in teresting yet presented. Although smaller than that of Tuesday and Wednesday, the crowd today is very satisfactory to the management, and is practically equal to that of Monday, the opening day.
 A disappointing feature was the ab- sence of Gen. George w. Gordon of Memphis, who had accepted an invita- tion of the local veterans to speak to- day, but telegraphed this morning that it would be impossible for him to at tend.
 Gen. J. F. Smith, major general commanding the Arkansas division, U. c. ", Gen. Jonathan Kellogg and Mrs. Josie Frazee Cappleman, state regent of the United Daughters of the Con- federacy, arrived from Little Rock this morning and were met at the station by the veterans, the U. D. c. con- mittee, the reception committee of the Board of Trade, and the Clarksville brass band. Sixty-one veterans form ed in line and marched with the pa rade to the fair grounds.
 Rev. J. J. Hurt presided at the speaking, and introduced Hon. A. C. Martin, who delivered the address of welcome. General Stewart responded in an interesting speech. He was fol- lowed by Mrs. Cappleman, who recited some original poems, which were re- ceived with great applause. General Kellogg was then called upon and de- livered a brief but well received ad- dress Between the speeches the band delighted the veterans with "DiXie' and other airs dear to their hearts.
 At the close of the speaking the vet erans and visitors were the guests of the Robert E. Lee chapter, U. D. C., at an elegant banquet, served under the shade of the towering oaks in the fair grounds. The menu was excel lent and the ladies received number less compliments upon their handsome entertainment.
 This afternoon at 2:30 the baby show, with about 50 entries, was held in front of the grandstand.
 The race program yesterday after noon was the best of the fair. The balloon ascension following was un- usually fine, while the fireworks last night were gorgeous.
 A large number of the shows and concessions left on special train at midnight last night for the state fair at Hot Springs.
 The fair will close at midnight to- night, and the management promises that tonight's fireworks display will be the best yet presented

BOYS ARE FINED.

Several boys and men who had inn bibed too much tanglefoot were ar rested on the fair grounds last night and fined by Mayor Witt this morn ing This is the first disorder of any kind on the fair grounds, and it oc- cured after practically all the crowd had left last night.

DISPLAYS GOOD.
 A feature of the fair which has eX- cited universal admiration is the dis plays made by several of the local mer- chants and business. One side of the lower floor of the exhibit hall was given over to this feature, while large spaces on the grounds were also taken up.
 In the exhibit hall the Drummer Hardware Company have very at tractive booth, displaying their stoves, ranges, cutlery, etc, and also have one of their steel storm cellars buried in the ground near the hall. The latter has been visited by many people and furnished unique exhibit.

Married in Kansas City Oct. 80.
at 2 p. m. 1909 DIR. B. H. Sullivan ana
Miss Riva Hammer. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. S. Cupp
pastor OF the Hide Park Christian
church at the hotel Baltimore. The
groom is a son of DR.. A. III. w. Sui
hvan and though quite young, is a
physician of much success. The
bride is the accomplished daughter
of Mrs. Bette Hammer and the
twin sister of Miss Lizzie Hammer
OF this city. The ceremony was
quietly performed and it was the
intention of the young couple to
keep it a secret for a while but as
the wedding occurred on Halloween
no doubt those mischievous little
spirits, that are said to hold sway
during that time, set the wild and
joyous echoes flying and the news
soon came to their Miami friends.
The couple will reside i'm Miami and
board with DIR. Frank Sullivan this
winter. Tho We all know that the
voyage OF life to no one is ever
as smooth and bright as we would
like it to be but we hope that no
deep cares and troubles will come
20 them though of course the mat
rimonial e upon which they have
embarked will be "hazzardous."
May they never know sorrow nor
distress or strife, and that he'll
make a fine husband and she a
model wife. A. p. b.

THE MAN BEHIND"

We don't mean the man behind
the times, nor the man behind in
his payments. Washington was
"the nan behind" the United states
ait a crisis in its history. Roosevelt
was "the nan behind" the peace ne
gotiations between Russia and ia
pan, which won him the plaudits OF
the world. Every successful ven
ture, no matter how humble, has
"a man behind" the man who shout
ders the responsibility and plans
the campaign, who possesses those
qualities that bring success to him.
Young man! If you wish to be
"the man behind" or in this day
1t would be appropriate to say "the
woman behind" a successful enter
prise, attend the Moberly CONNER
cial College OF Moberly, Mo. Mis-
souri's largest school OF Bookkeep-
