NARROW ESCAPE FOR
 BIG BUSINESS BLOCK

When the members of the Woodmen Circle assembled at their lodge hall in the upper floor of the Apple block last night, they discovered that the build- ing had had narrow escape from be- ing destroyed by fire, which would have doubtless also destroyed the en- tire block of six handsome buildings only recently erected. The w. O. w. lodge had met in the hall the previous night, and it is supposed candle used in the initiation ceremonies was left burning on a table. The table and chair was burned, as was consider able patch of the floor, but the fire evidently went out of its own accord. The room was still full of smoke when it was opened last night.

Although the Faulkner County Fair will not open until October i, two weeks from next Monday, every effort is being made by the management to have the entire buildings, grounds and racing course in perfect readiness by the end of the present week. The buildings first contracted for have al ready been completed, but it was de- cided on account of the increased in terest being manifested to enlarge the facilities for caring for exhibits and stock, and work began yesterday on the additional structures.

SEPTEMBER WIND.

Yesterday was typical September
day. The wind blew gale from early
morning and the dust arising from a
considerable period Of dry weather
filled the air in great clouds. The
trees are beginning to show the ef-
feet Of the continued dry weather and
the approach of fail and many OF them
that have not been watered as reg
ularly as they should have been, are
showing yellow leaves, that blow of
when the wind blows like It did yes
terday, in great showers. This is
the time OF year when young trees
are In special need Of water. Two
year-old trees are getting a final root
ing and should not be allowed to go
through this dry period without plen-
ty Of water. Neither should they be
permitted to freeze down dry. A
good many young trees are really
fall killed when they are said to be
winter killed. Water the trees plen-
tifully now.
