SCHOOL BOOKS

We have in previous "ads' and ar icles in this paper shown that We are practically giving 100 cents for every lollar given us for school books, this )eing the case you will readily see hat we cannot afford to take any nance on losing anything, and since chool books are sold almost entirely during the big rushes, the chances to fail to make charges are about ten to one; and years of experience has taught us that anyone during such rushes will overlook charges, there fore we have for the past two years tried to sell school books for cash and make no charges to any one, but not with standing our advertising, many come to us and ask us to charge them with books, hence we have decided to take the chances on charges to GUS toners who have accounts with us and prefer to have them made at an addition of 10 per cent.
 We do not want to be misunder- stood. We want your book trade and appreciate it, but no one can afford to charge school books and take the risk that is unavoidable-that of fail ing to get it on the ledger. We trust that the patrons of the public school will, as far as it is possible, come in next week and buy the books needed as we can tell you exactly what you need if you know to which grade you belong.
 Trusting our friends and custom CTS will appreciate our position in the above mentioned stand, we are,
 Truly yours,

NORMAL LOSES
 PEABODY GIFT

Having failed to comply with the conditions required by the board of trustees of the Peabody fund, the State Normal school at Conway will not receive the $10,000 gift offered by the board in the event an agricul- connection with the Conway institu tion, according to story in the Lit tie Rock Gazette this morning. The article continues:
 "This was the announcement made by Dr. Wycliffe Rose of the Southern board of education to State Superin- tendent George B. Cook at Memphis Saturday. The two educators held lengthy conference at the Gayoso ho- tel, during which many matters re- lating to the educational interests of Arkansas were discussed.
 Superintendent Cook returned yes terday morning from Memphis. He says that pr. Rose deeply regretted that conditions were such that the Peabody board would be unable to give financial assistance to the agri- cultural schools of Arkansas, at the same time expressing the belief that they would be successfully established and maintained without aid from the board. He stated that the trustees of the fund were exceedingly anxious to contribute literally to the agricul tural school interests of Arkansas in order to stimulate the people of the state to activity in the proper sup port of such a school"
 President Doyne of the Normal stated this morning that he had re- ceived no information from Superin- tendent Cook or Dr. Rose in reference to the proposed gift to the Normal. It was through Mr. Doyne's efforts that promise of S10,000 from the Pea body fund was secured on condition that the state appropriate S40,0O0 for an agricultural high school in con- nection with the State Normal school and the legislature failed to meet this requirement.

FAYETTEVILLE FAIR OPENS.
 Fayetteville, Sept. 27.-The Wash iugton county fair for 1909 opened here this morning with tremendous crowds in attendance. This is Far mers' Union day, which has made the crowd so much larger than it would otherwise have been, as the farmers have all declared holiday. No better racing has ever been held in the state than will be seen here during the fair, there being a number of very fast horses on the grounds. Situated as it is in the heart of the Ozarks, the Washington county fair has a horti- cultural display which will never be surpassed in the state.
