 immense Crowd of People.


 Hot Springs.-All the big hotels of this city, which are usually closed until January 1, will be open during the week of the Arkansas State Fair. which will be held from October 10 to 15 inclusive.

Springs during the big show, and every effort is being made by the. town to prepare for the reception and care of this immense multitude of people.

This will relieve the natural con- gestion of the railroads at that time and give visitors an opportunity to get located and see the city before the fair opens.
 All the railroads in the state have made an extraordinary concession to exhibitors by offering to carry all shipments of fruit, grains and vege- tables free both ways to the fair from any part of Arkansas
