 HOLD MEETING
FAIR DIRECTORS CHOSEN
NEW OFFICERS ELECTED AND PLANS FOR SECOND COUN-
 TY FAIR DISCUSSED.

With the sentiment of everyone present unanimously in favor of a bigger and better county fair next year, the stockholders of the Faulk- ner County Fair Association met at the Board of Trade rooms last night, heard the reports of the retiring off, cers and elected seven directors for the ensuing year. The new directors are H. B. Ingram, Vim. J. Drummer, Frank Farris, G. w. A. Wilson, F. U. Halter, R. s. McCulloch and Frank E. Robins
 The report of Treasurer B. L. Har- ton showed that the paid-up capital stock of the association was only S2,- 220. The directors, however, found it impossible to equip the fair with this amount and have expended for per manent buildings and improvements, in round numbers, S3,500. Over $700 of this deficit was paid out of the profits of the first annual fair, repre- senting a profit of about 30 per cent on the actual capital. The balance, amounting to about 500, i, an indebt- edness of the association due to con- tlacl?rs for WNti on the buildings. As the authorized capital stock of the association is 5000, it has been prac- tically decided to sell additional stock of a sufficient amount to pay off the indebtedness on the buildings and also to provide additional improvements for the next fair.
 The date fixed by the old board of directors for the next fair, October 1 to ', inclusive, were ratified by the stockholders.
 Following the meeting of the stock holders, the newly-elected directors met and organized by the election of the following officers: H. B. Ingram president; Wm. J. Drummer, vice president; Frank Farris, secretary; c. W. A. Wilson, treasurer. The di- rectors adjourned to meet April ,, at which time manager for the next fair will probably be selected and oth- CT arrangements made to insure the success of the second annual fair.

LUDWIG IN JOHNSON COUNTY

Hon. O. c. Ludwig, our next Con gressman, was Lamar visitor We'd nesday, made our office a pleasant call and talked over old newspaper days with us. We look upon Lud as one of us, having lived here so long, and married in our county. We feel sure that Pittsburg township will give him big vote.
 Pulaski county will give Ludwig a handsome endorsement. Those in a position to know something about the situation say that his majority in Pu- laski over both Jacoway and Griffin will not be less than 2,000, possibly more.-Lamar, Johnson County Lead CT, Advt.

PAINT VS.

There's something of vexation be-
tween the Board of Health and the
City Fathers in that after the latter
had, during the school vacation, spent
a thousand dollars and more repaint-
ing, cleansing and whitewashing the
larger school buildings, the Board of
Health steps in to disinfect, for some
reason or other, so running the work
already accomplished by the Super
visors.
When the disinfecting started, the
Supervisors called off their painters,
not wishing TO finishing the cleansing
process until the Board of Health is
through with its disinfrcting.
1t is contended that a lack of com
plete cooperation mas resulted, here
fore, in a waste of the peoples money
and the City Fathers are not inclined
to take the blame.

for that fact. He said it was the
Russian custom, where marriage was
contemplated, among certain classe1
to allow considerable leeway before

The Russian defendant excitedly an
