Every section along the Norfolk and
Western, city, town or prominent To-
cality, can be presented in pictures and
lectures to the thousands of people who
visit the Ohio Valley Exposition in Gin
cinnati from August Goth to September
oath. F. H. LaBaume, agricultural and
industrial agent of the Norfolk and
Western Railway is very anxious to re-
ceive pictures, maps and descriptive
matter of every locality from one end
of the line to the other. These he will
send to Cincinnati and have worked up
into stereopticon views to be thrown on a
big screen and the descriptive matter to
be worked up into etertaining lectures,
telling the advantages of each locality
along the road. For farmers, business
men and investors generally this is one
of the biggest advertising schemes Of
fered by the Norfolk and Western. in
conjunction with the Ohio Valley Expo
sition, ever offered to localities along
the line and should result in bringing
many settlers to Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Ohio states trav-
ersed by the Norfolk and Western. This
railroad is doing all in it's power to ad-
vertise each section along it's line, to
bring more people to build up the cities
and towns, and offers rare chances for
exploiting the industries and general ad-
vantages of the sections interested suf-
ficiently to send the matter asked for.
F. H. LaBaume is in Roanoke, where
| he will receive the matter.

Little Rock, March 24.-The second day of the State Land Congress-, with 1860 delegates, opened with more enthusiasm and larger crowd than yester- day if possible. Every chair in the convention hall of the Hotel Marion was filled when Chairman Tillman called the convention to order.
 The exhibits were roped off so that the crowd could not finger there during sessions of the con- gress, as had been done yester- day. This affected many, as the exhibits are the most attractive thing to the visitor. During the lntermission, however, and at night when there can be no in terruption, the crowds are per mltted to surge about the large banquet hall of the Marion.

a chance to be heard cn the plan

a chance to be heard cn the plan Tar permanent organization.
 One of the real important things to be done today will be the adoption of a resolution ask Ing the next legislature to pro. vide funds for an immigration bureau, as well as to further aid the congress in advertising the state. If the congress can pro- vide the funds, it will also pur. chase two exhibit cars which are now the property of Col. c. w. Riggs, and are in St. Louis. and send them over the United States to advertise Arkansas. A reso- lutlon providing for this and placing Ray Gill, formerly secre. tary of the Arkansas State Fair now deputy state superintendent of public instruction, in charge of them as travelling manager. The committee passed upon the resolution with favor, knowing well the ability of Mir. Gill as a booster. The resolution was pre- pared by George Russ Brown, secretary of the Little Rock Board of Trade.
 Another matter to be decided upon today will be the closing of a deal with a biograph company to bring a corps of artists and moving picture machines to Ar kansas and prepare films which will advertise Arkansas over the entire world. The committee also thinks we'll of this resolu- tion.
 All the cities are represented from the 200 stalwarts from Stuttgart to the smaller number from the remote cities. Hot Sprigns has the second largest delegation with Pine Bluff good third. Conway, Newport, Jones. boro, Texan kama, Fort Smith, Rogers, Murfreesboro and Nash vile also have many delegates on hand.
 The booths are all very invit- ing. The first and probably the most popular is that of the Ar kansas Seed Crushers Associa tion. Here cake and bread of all kinds is handed out to the hungry ones by young lady at, tendants, and chocolate is served with it. Candies of the most deli. cate sort are also served, and few of the consumers know, until informed of it, that cotton seed flour is the base from which bread, cake and candy are made. The booth is a revelation to the visitor. even if he has spent his whole life in a cotton state, Rog- CTS has apples on display The Stuttgart exhibit of growing rice, backed up with full display of farm products, is one of the features of the show. There is always some one on hand to tell the virtues of the Arkansas county land too. The alligator exhibit from Hot Springs, where 12 alligators with many small ones are to be seen, attracts much attention.
 The Jonesboro booth, showing not only a very fine agricultural display, presents all sol tS of articles manufactured by the plants of that city. The Jones> boro exhibit was delayed yester- day and did not arrive until night, but those in charge of the booth made up for the lack of display /, o,r 4, t.l .4l L 4.e1

"GENE'S."
Where You Can Get Cooled Off
or Refreshed This Hot
Weather.

Eugene Smith has started restaur-
any or ice cream parlor at Jasper,
which is the Mecca of the weary and
the hungry these hot days, and it
might not be out of place to call it
"Genes'' for the personality of the
proprietor is strongly reflected in the
treatment accorded visitor. Court
esy is predominant, and is a much
enjoyed feature to those who like a
moderate display of the amenities of
life.
But now to the points involved, as
the lawyers would say:
In the first place any kind of a lunch
you desire will be served to you on or
der, and served in nice, clean style
no flies allowed to eat with you.
Next, delicious ice cream always on
hand in at least two fiavors. And you
can sit down and enjoy it too, unless
you prefer standing ON your pins,
thinking it tastes better that way.
And fine soda fountain stands
ready to obey your commands with any
flavor of syrup or the refreshing Coco
Cola if you prefer it.
Delicious bread comes on every train
from Chattanooga -Sprague's Sanitary
white, sweet and clean Made by a
most modern bakery.
All fruits i'm season are kept on
hand. At present you can get great
big luscious watermelon for quarter,
which will keep you in watermelon
chewing for long time.
A nice line of oonfections are also
handled as well as cigars and tobaccos.
"Genes" is the place for you to visit
when in Jasper, for there you will find
the delicacies of the season.

The '4Chantecler" Craze.

s"Imagine it ! Just common, barn
yard rooster and yet he is the new fas-
hion fad of the hour,"' says Grace
Margaret Gould in Noman's Home
Companion for June. Perhaps, in
days gone by, before Edmund Ros-
tand's play, 'Chanteoler, electrified
Paris, there were boosters scattered
here and there in prosperous looking
barn yards who Thought themselves
quite the finest things ever in their
own feathered world. vain and domin-
eering, they were, hurt never, oh. new
er, in their widest dreams of the hap
py future did they picture themselves
strutting into the fashion world of
both Paris and New York.
''And yet THAT is 5ust what has hap
pened. Since Rostand chose the fowls
of the barn yard for the characters in
his play, the fair Pari sienne has been
wearing the chantecled hat i'm varied

most bewitching way through the
filmy meshes of her veil with its start

shape. her parasOi has roostee''s head
for its handle and everywhere this
barnyard king seems to reign supreme
in the realm of fashion.

And yet our American girls are doing
likewise. The chantecler fad is upon
us, but il is safe to say it is only a
passing fancy.
