SCHOOL REELECTED
ONLY ONE CHANGE MADE
SCHOOL BOARD SELECTS SU-
PERINTENDENT AND ELEV-
EN- TEACHERS.

Besides the election of Prof. r. II.
Cannon of Monticello to succeed Prof.
w. b. Hubbell as superintendent of
the Conway public schools, the school
board Saturday afternoon reelected,
with one exception, all of the present
teaching force in the white school.
Several shifts, however, We're made
among the teachers reelected, some
being assigned to different grades
from those taught during the past
session. Sam Scott, former Hendrix
student who has been teaching at Ar
kadelphia for the past two years, was
chosen to succeed j. M. Downing as
teacher of the eighth grade and drec-
tor of athletics, VIII owll retire to en-
gage in the real estate business, this
being the only change except in the
:o3ition of superintendent. The fac
uity for next session will be as fol-
oWS:
Superintendent R. II. Cannon.
High School Misses Nettie Muir
phy and Maggie Denison.
Eighth Grade and Athletics Sam
Scott.
Seventh Grade Miss Minnie Flip
pen
Sixth Grade-Mrs. Ida Burns
Fifth Grade-W. N. Jones.
Fourth Grade-Miss Beulah Deni-
on.
Third Grade Miss Mary Wilson.
Second Grade-Miss Mary Hamil-
ton.
First Grade-Miss Caroline Muth.
Music Miss Elsie Harrison.
Richard Purifoy was reelected jan
itor. The teachers for the negro school
will not be chosen until later meet
ing of the board.
The resignation Of Superintendent
Huhhell has been in the hands of the
Board for the past two months. The
matter was not made public the board
hoping to be able to induce him to re-
consider, and a number of the patrons
of the school who were aware of his
intention to give up the position have
brought much pressure on him to re-
main with the school, but the position
to which he goes is one paying much
better salary than the school district
was able to offer and also has field
of much wider activity and RESPONSE
bility. During his service as superin-
tendent Prof. Hubbell has more than
made good the expectations of his
friends. The school has progressed
perhaps more than ever before in
single year, and there has not been
the slightest trouble of any kind dur
ing the session.
Prof Hubbell will leave at the close
of the session for his former home in
Craighead county, where he will visit
for two weeks. During the first two
weeks in June he will conduct a teach
ers' institute in Arkansas county and
will enter upon his new position as
registrar of Hendrix College about
June Is.

Little Rock, May 8.-Following the

conduct the inquiry and did not be-
lieve the committee sought the infor-

about the punishment of the guilty
persons. The committee will report

Little informed the committee, how
ever, that he would willingly go be-
fore the Pulaski county grand jury

alleged bribery, where the informa-

to enforce the law.
The members of the senate commit

three solid carloads of Studebaker

acre. The place is regarded as one
of the most desirable on the river
front, every acre being in cultivation,
and WILL it is stated, average produc-

price illustrates the rapid increase of

N. b Figuring the back debts
which were paid off out of this years
receipts and the permanent improve
ments made on the grounds, our earn
ings for the year were over 25 per
cent.
We wish to state in connection with
this report that at the commencement
of the season it was decided to make
preparations for large fair. A great
deal of money was spent in carrying
the advertising campaign into distant
territory We wanted our fair to be
district fair, embracing eight coun-
ties with Faulkner county as the cen
ter. Owing to our extensive prepara-
tions and advertising, our expenses
were much heavier than if we had
only planned for small local fair.
AS you all know, it commenced to
rain the day before the fair and rain
ed hard and steadily until the third
day of the fair, this cutting off the at
tendance of many thousands of people
and necessarily cutting off substan-
tia portion of our income. We think,
however, that we did well under the
circumstances. Thanks to the loyalty
of our citizens, some of whom waded
through mud and water nearly knee
deep in order to attend the fair and
lend their support and patronage 60
this most beneficial of institutions.
We hope for better weather at our
next fair, and have turned the reins
of responsibility over to the new direc-
tors who were elected at the annual
stockholders meeting of the associa-
ton, held at the courthouse Saturday
night, May /.
These directors will meet Saturday,
May 8, to elect the officers and man
ager for next year, and we, the retir-
ing officers, trust that you will do all
in your power to help them pull off
bigger and better fair than ever.
All, of course. for glory and better
ment of good old Faulkner county.
