The high winds Wednesday famed again in raging flames the forest fire, which has been causing trouble north of the city for the past four or five days.
 Toward evening the fire worked south along the high ridge north of the Academy grounds and it soon became apparent that the Academy buildings were in danger.
 Owing to the fact that the prop erty is unoccupied the grounds have grown up to a heavy growth of weeds and it required very deter mined fighting and back firing to save some of the frame buildings.

Judge Harp of Sebastian County Be- lieves the County Can Support Sick Parents While Their

Fort Smith, Sept. 24.-One of the most humane rulings under the Hamilton school law was shown in recent decision by County Judge Jesse A. Harp of Sebastian county, when he held that it is better for the county to defray the expenses of a family than that l3-year-old boy should be deprived of an education. The decision was rendered upon pe- tltion for exemption from the compulsory school law of boy l3 years of age. The petition was presented by the mother, who stated that her husband was afflicted with consumption, and that the family had no means of support except from the labor of the boy, who is working in fac tory and earning S2.50 a week. Tbe boy showed himself to be very intelligent and expressed a desire 10 go to school. Judge Harp declined to grant the peti- ton, issued an order for the boy to attend school and that an al- lowance from the funds of the county necessary for the support of the family he'drawn from the treasury monthly.

Fayetteville, Sept. 22. - The reservoir supply of water failed today and all are compelled to re- sort to wells and springs, of which there are many in the city, and just outside the limits. Two springs belonging 10 A. r. Trent will furnish plenty of wholesome water for cooking and drinking to the whole population.
 The drouth is without prece- dent in this section, and there is no reason to hope for rain. The basin in White river at the pump station contained water enough to last month longer when the dronth set in, but the bottom is porous and it seaped through.
 There is no dagger of famine, but the cost of water will be greatly increased aud the people will learn their first lesson of economy in the use of water.
