GOVERNMENT
 WILL AID FAIRS COUNTY EXHIBITS TO BE ASSIST ED, WHICH WILL HELP OUR
 STATE EXPOSITION.
Encouragement Being Received in his State Will Have an Effect on
 the Success of Local Fair.

The increased interest and enthus- iasm shown by the people in state and county exhibits at fairs will have a splendid effect on the future of the state fair which is now fixture in this city. The groundwork of the big state fair this year here will be the success of the various county fairs which have sprung up.
 The best of the exhibits of the coun- ty fairs will be sent here, and there is no doubt but that President Cole will have the full support of the farm CTS through their organization, over which he presides.
 The office of farm management of the United States department of az. rioulture is seeking Information re- garding the needs of the average coun- t yfair in every state of the union, and proposes to have la representative at every fair held In each county this fall.
 Commissioner Guy B. Tucker re- ceived a communication from D. H. Doane, assistant agriculturist of the department of agriculture, reqesting information concerning the county fairs to be held in Arkansas. The important needs and problems before the average county fair and the rem. edies are the questions asked of the heads of the agricultural department of the state.
 Commissioner Tucker promptly re- piled to the inquiry of the department of agriculture, his answer being as follows
 T advise that the principal need of our county fairs is simply the natural development of these institutions that can come, to any great extent, anly from experience in each county.
 With one oIatwo exceptions, all the fairs in this state are of recent or gsn'zation. During the last five years there has been a steady development along this line. Five years ago there were but two Or three fairs of any sort in the state. This fall there will be probably twenty-five or thirty
 "The greatest stimulus for county fairs and the best object lesson in favor of competitive exhibitions of products was the Boys Corn Clubs, organized for the first time in Arkan- sas last year. This organization was timely. following as it has the work of the United States farm demonstra- tion agents and the awakening to the advantages of systematic, if not sci. entific farming among our adult farm. CTS.
 The one need of our many new independent county farms, horticultural and agricultural shows that are spring ing up all over the state. is a general state organization, or at least coop. eration of executive officers in ar. ranging dates in circuits and adopt. l ing standard of exhibit requirements and rules ~-.s

BRIDE OF BAPTIST PREACHER CHARGES THREATS TO MUIR.
 DER HER IN COLD BLOOD.
Donie Mecrarie Alleges That Minister She Married Had No Home for Her Other Than on Charity of
 Followers.

Sensational allegations were recit. ed in a petition for divorce filed by Donie McCrary in Chancery court yes. terday, when she set forth that Au. gustus McCrary, a Baptist minister. whom she had married last August had with vigorous glare in his eyes" threatened her with death if she ever left him and returned to her home.
 According to the complaint, this Garland county girl left a splendid home on August of last year to mar ry Augustus McCrary. under the mis. statement that he had a home of his own and ample means to support a wife.
 Mrs. McCrary in her complaint charges that her husband is merely an itinerant Baptist minister, without any assigned circuit, and that his only income was what little he received for preaching at various points. She states that the "brethren" did not
 
 charge her husband for board or lodg. ing and that she had to accompany him and partake also of their hospi. iaiity in order to have her living.
 She charges barbarous and inhuman treatment from this minister, who, she says. is a ,iepraved character, who had offered her numerous indignities.
 As a climax to her petition for a divorce she sets forth that with Wig. orous glare of his eyes" the plaintiff threatened to murder her if she ever left him and returned to her former home, which she had spoken of doing when she learned that he had no nome provided for her.
