NO WORD FROM HUNTER
1t Is Believed Though That His
Mother Has Died

Although no ward has been received
from Outf1elder William Hunter of the
Islanders since he left here Sunday
night, called back to his home in Buffa-
10 by the illness of his mother, 1t is
thought that the latter has died.
Harry Kelley this morning received
letter from his wife, who is living
near the Hunter family, and from the
tone of the letter it seems that Mrs
Hunter has passed away If this is
the case. Hunter will probably be back
tomorrow or Sunday and his presence
will greatly strengthen the team. In
the meantime he has the sympathy of
the entire team and the followers of
the game in this city.

PINE BLUFFIANS
 IN HOT SPRINGS
Excursionists to Valley of Vap0rs Last Sunday Enjoyed Themselves
 "Seeing the Sights"

Yesterday morning an excursion from Pine Bluff arrived in the city bringing between four and five hum dred from that city to spend the day here viewing the sights and increas- ing their knowledge of this famous health and pleasure resort says the Hot Springs News. During the great CT part of the day, the excursionists were compelled to remain indoors on account of the rain, but as soon as the sun came from behind the dark bank of clouds, the visitors issued forth and visited every section of the city. Of course, Wilmington park and the nei- ghboring amusement places, were the mecca for the majority of the visitors and they thoroughly enjoyed the many sights. Last summer, the railroads ran an excursion into this city from Pine Bluff every Sunday making an exceptionally low rate for the round trip. Hundreds of Pine Bluff citizens took advantage of the rates to visit this city and considerable business was transacted while in this city. It is altogether probable the same course will be pursued by the railroads again this summer.

An important meeting of the Jef- ferson County Medical Society vas held last night in the office of lDr w. $. Stewart in the Bank Of Pine Bluff building. when the society had as guests, Dr. J. l.. Caldwell, secretary of the Board of Trade and Waiter l.. Cos per, representative of the National Association for the> Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis. the latter being here in interest of bringing m education exhibit to the city under fe auspices of the National issociatteq for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, of which Che various organizations in the city will be asked to stand the cost.
 Dr. J. s. Jenkins. president of the Jefferson County Medical Society, pre- sided. After few introductory re- marks by Dr. Stewart secretary of the society, Mr. Cosper was asked to submit his proposition of bringing his exhibit to the city, to the medical so- ciety ,and Dr. Caldwell as repre- sentative of the Board of Trade.
 Mr. Cosper talked interestingly of the work and origin of the National Association. The association was or ganized in 1905. by a number of men of national reputation interested in the study and prevention of the white plague. The association depends up- on the dues and membership fees is in no way money making Or ad- vertising proposition but simply for the purpose of enlightening the laity as to the treatment of the disease and give out education value as to the pre- vention of the disease from a sound person. Shortly after the organiza- tion of the Association Exhibit No. 1 was sent out, and this exhibit ac- cording to MT. Cosper has been shown in nearly all the principal cities of the East, and many smaller ones Exhibit No. 1 was had in Memphis about tyo years ago, and Dr. Caldwell had the pleasure of visiting the exhibition at that time. Later exhibit Mo- 2, of which Mir. Cosper has control, was or ganized by the Association for the states west of the Mississippi river. AS manager of the exhibition Mr. Cos per has visited Denver, Col, Kansas City, and various other important cit- ies in the west. His first exhibition in the state was given last week in Little Rock, where his exhibit is now stored. He states that he met with remarkable success throughout the states he has visited, and desires that Pine Bluff should be the next to enjoy the advanced science of the ex- hibit, which if secured will be absol- utely free to the public. It is the purpose of the National Association to organize in all the various states state associations to carry out the work of the exhibit and putting be- fore the public the value of know ing the aid to cure and prevent tuber- culosis. It also proposes to organ ize city and county associations which will still further carry out the work resulting in the masses of the people having fairly good knowledge of the dreaded disease and ways of prevent

VARDAMAN'S CHARACTER.

It seems to be the "plan Of CAM
paign'' of the newspapers which
are supporting the political firm of
Percy, Alexander & Noel. limit
ed, - to attempt to blacken ex-Gov-
ernor Vardaman's character and
thus bring ruin to himself, his
home and his family. But the
fooIishness and futility Of these at
tacks upon Vardaman have been
demonstrated time and again.
Vardaman is deservedIy the most
popular and highly esteemed public
man in Mississippi. and money
bribery and official bribery cannot
defeat him before the people.
Vardaman recently delivered an
address before the Philomathean
Literary Society Of Mississippi Col
Iege at Clinton. He was introduc-
ed to the assemblage by DR.. w. T.
Lowrey. president of the college.
Mississippi College is the educa-
tionaI institution Of the Baptists.
the largest denomination in the
State, and DR.. LoWrey is one Of the
most respected educators in Missis-
sippi. Now let any man of COM
mon sense bear in mind these facts,
and he will realize how pueriIe are
the attacks upon Vardaman. after
reading the following Introductory
address made by President Lowrey
DR.. w. 7. Lowrey. president
of Mississippi College, introduced
ex- Gov. James X. vardaman, the
speaker of the evening IN pleasant
and attractive terms DR.. Lowrey

have always existed between him

A FINE FAIR.

A fine fair.
This is the unanimous verdict Of
the people regarding the fair which
was held here last week.
Never before since the first fair
was held in this county have the
people Of Brookhaven and the coun-
ty evinced SO much interest in q
fair as they did this year.
1t has long been conceded that
any city. and especially a city sit
uated in the midst of an agricul-
tural section as Brookhaven is sit
uated. is dependent upon the sur
rounding country for its progress
and growth, and can prosper only
as the surrounding country pros
pers. The farmers Of the territory
contiguous to Brookhaven have
always been loyal to the city and
have given her their moral and
financial support, and the annual
fairs have been potent in bringing
about and maintaining this condi-
ton. The holding of these fairs
gives to the people of this section
an opportunity to come here and
not only meet our merchants. but
meet and mingle with each other.
1t has often been said that the rea-
son we do not like our fellow man
more is because we do not know
him. and these fairs give US all a
chance to get together and become
better acquainted.
Not only is a city dependent
upon the outlying country for pros
perity, but the farmers are almost,
if not wholly. dependent upon the
city. In prosperous city there is
constant demand for farm products,
and the farmers find a ready sale
for chickens, eggs, butter and other
produce which bring IN ready
money at season when cash is
usually scarce.
Taking all these facts into con-
sideration, it is shown conclusively
that town and country are largely
dependent upon each other for pros
perity. and it follows in natural se-
quence that whatever helps one
must perforce benefit the other.
Agricultural fairs are great town
and county builders.
As fsE tic fnaaeia atnsne
of the fair is concerned. there is
no cause for complaint. The
weather throughout the progress
of the two days and one night ex-
.hibition was fine, and large crowds
passed through the gates each day.
