price than was anticipated on the fair buildings, the directors have authorized the building committee to contract for the remainder of the fencing, so that the entire 4o- acre will be enclosed with a To foct fence.
 The first installment of the fair catalogues have been completed and Bob Butler of Holland left this morning with supply of the cata- logues and large batch of other advertising matter to be distributed over the county. The catalogues are so greatly in demand that Manager Frank Farris will have to restrict their distribution to par ties who intend to make use of them in connection with placing exhibits at the fair. An ample supply for this purpose will be available, but they cannot be dis tributed indiscriminately.

A Package for the Guard.

The Newark Journal hands a very neat package to the belliaker of the Batesvile Guard in the fol- lowing paragraph: The Bates vile Guard seems to think Gov ernor Donaghey controls the cpin- io1s of the supreme court. If Donaghey is such great man that he can control the courts, the leg islature and so on he must indeed be very great and powerful man. If he wields such wonderful power as the Guard says he does, how, in the name of common sense, does the Guard expect to defeat him for reelection with an obscure little ex-sheriff who was never heard of outside of his own county 2"-Par- agould Soliphone.

POPULATION
 GAIN SMALL COUNTY SCHOOL FIGURES
Light Increase in County Enum-
 eration is Shown.
Creditable Gains, However, are Made in Both Enrolment and Average
 Attendance

That there are only I3 more per sous of schoolage in Faulkner coun- ty outside of Conway than there was one year ago is difficult to believe, but that is what is shown by the annual report of County Examiner T. F. Forrest, which was filed with County Clerk J. H. Bailey yesterday afternoon. The total gain in the school pop ulation of the county for the year was IA, but IoI of this number represents the gain in the Conway district, leaving a gam of only I3 in the county at large. The total county enumeration this year is DOGS, as compared with 9,95A last year and 8,77I in 1907.
 While the increase has been slow during the past two years, the gain in the five years since Prot. Forrest has been county examiner has | zen good, being ,o32 for the five years.
 The statistics show a remark ably good increase in both enrolment and average attendance, showing that a much greater interest in education is being taken by the people of the county. The

NEW CONSTITUTION
 BEING SUBMITTED

State Secretary Treasurer M. F. Dickinson of the Arkansas Farm CTS Union is mailing to the 500 local unions of the state draft of the new state constitution, which was adopted by the recent state union and ordeled submitted to the locals for ratification. The constitution is to be voted on by the locals on Saturday, Sept. 4, be- tween the hours of I and I2 p. III. and returns from the election must be in the hands of the state secre- tary not later than Sept. I2.
 At this election only a majority of the locals voting on the consti- tuition favorably will be required for it's adoption, and Secretary Dick inson feels sure that 1t will be car ried overwhelmingly. Constitu- tionalamendments embodying prac- tically the same new features as are incorporated in the new proposed constitution were submitted to the locals one year ago, but, under a provision of the resolution under whichit was, submitted, it required a majority of cll locals ill the state for it's adoption. Many of them failed to vote at all, with the re- suit that the amendments were de- teated, although large majority of the votes cast were favorable. The new constitution, requiring only a majority of the votes cast of the question, is therefore prac- tically certain f adoption.

MARION GETS CONTEST
Aspirants for Honors Coming
Here Next Year.
Quite a Delegation of Marion Boost
ers Accompanied Mr.. King to the
Kenton Contest.

In the oratorical contest of the
Ohio Interurban Ora
torlcal association at Kenton, Friday
evening, George Killing, Of this city,
took first place in the contest with
an oration, "Shylock." BY virtue of
Marion's representative winning first
honors, It was decided to hold the
contest next year in this city.
A host of students Of the Marion
High school left for Kenton early
last evening, accompanied by X. H..
Marshall of the High school facul-
ty and Misses Clara Ewalt, Anna
NIorey and Hope Fisher, of the Eng
lish department OF the school. Much
interest had been aroused and the
pent up enthusiasm or the CLASSES
of the school was given full sway.
Enthusiasm at Kenton was rampant
and the many delegations, which
filled the opera house at that place
gave their yells and displayed theil
class emblems and pennants. The
poera house was filed to its ut
most capacity and all Of the seats II
the house were engaged long before
the contest.

was "The National Antipathy To-
ward the Negro"
The oration OF Mr.. King, who won
first, is familiar to many Marion
people, who heard 1t delivered at a
local contest at the Marion High
school one year ago. At that time
Mr.. Killing won first honors in the
local contest. The Grafton is re-

strong defense of his character is
given. Mr.. Killing possesses the

PEACEFULLY
In HER EASY CHAIR
and-Daughter Finds Aged
Lady in Her Home.
The Child Summoned Aid but Death
Came Before Assistance
Arrived.

Peacefully asleep in death in her
easy chair Mrs. Amanda X Wimbig-
Ter was found to have answered the
last summons Friday afternoon be-
tween three and four o'clock.
When the little grand-child OF
Mrs. Wimbigler, Janet Ensminger,
returned from school yesterday, she
stopped in to see her grandmother,
who had been in i'll health for some
time. She discovered her apparently
resting, and when she called n slight
movement OF the hand was the only
response from the sleeper. The girl
evidently heard the iiutter of the
death angels wings, for she hurried
for assistance. The end had come
before medical attention could be
given, paralysis OF the heart being
the cause OF demise.
Mrs. Wimbigler was born in Mar
ion county and has lived here practi-
cally all of her life. For some years
she had made her residence in
Youngstown, and had only recently
moved to the home on North Main
street. One son, M, f. Ensminger, OF
this city, survives.
She was daughter of Robert Kerr
one of the wealthiest and most prom
inent citizens in the early history OF
Marion, and the builder OF the Kerr
block, for many years the home OF
the citys first-class hotel, the old
Kerr House. Some years ago when
both had passed the half century
mark she was united in marriage to
ex-senator Alley OF Butte, Montana

ARMOUR FINDS EVIDENCE
OF RENEWED PROSPERITY

Chicago, June 26.-"The business
outlook, both in America and in Eu-
rope, never was so bright as today"
This is the frame of mind in which
]. ogden Armour returned from a
tour of Europe. He said that reports
of serious trouble between Germany
and England were foolish.
"There will not be any war between
those countries" he said. "In the
first place. there is no reason for a
war In the second place, the big
financiers of both countries. as well
as those in this country, would not
permit a war. In fact, the financiers
of the world will prevent any war be-
tween any of the great nations I do
not believe We shall see another great
war"
Regarding the tariff problem, Mr..
Armour said it would be settled, and
settled right. He declared the de-
mand for American goods was grow
ing everywhere, and that not in
many years had the fundamental
conditions for industry and trade
been so promising as now. He pre-
diets that South America will be-
come the worlds livestock center.

TRUU..LES IN WASHINGTON

Spokane, Wash, June ga spe-
cial from Davenport to the spokes-
man-Review says:
w. D. Haywood came in on an eve
ming train yesterday to fill an en-
gagement to deliver an address at the
Nichols hall last night. 1t is re-
ported that there were II present at
the lecture. After the lecture he got
gloriously drunk, and this morning
was still intoxicated and missed the
train to return to Spokane
This afternoon he was caught
smoking cigarettes, and Deputy Sher-
if Goffinet arrested him as he board
ed a freight. The charge against him
was for having "the makings" in his
possession, and he was hailed before
Judge ]. E. Fraser, where he pleaded
guilty and was fined 81 and costs,
which made the sum taxed against
him SO. He paid the fine and was
released.
