the agricultural products In Louisiana,
and again this year it will be present
In all Of its splendor and royal appear
ance and quality at the State Fair,
which opens Oct. 81 and will run six
days.
The reports received by Secretary
Louis N. Brueggerhoff indicate that
the collection will be larger and better
than ever before. and that's saying
something, too, for the exhibits Of King
Cotton heretofore were remarkably
good and would rank well with those
shown at any state fair.
The exhibition OF cards by the grain
growers last year with the words
king Corn" seems to have set some
OF the cotton growers afire, and this
year they are planning as never before
to have the finest cotton display on
record at the Louisiana Fair. They
are determined to keep cotton in the
front and will give the spectators some
thing at which to wonder. Many Of
the best bolls to be found on the farms
Of Louisiana and some Of the best
bales Of the leecy staple will be on ex-
hibition. judging by the notices reach

that have to be fought by the farm
ers.
Louisiana has always been big cot
ton producing state. Her people have |
known about the crop from earliest |
babyhood. They have learned more
about it year by year. It means more
dollars to majority Of the country
people than any other one crop. and
therefore 1t arouses great interest. At
the Fair this year It will hold its own.
The catalogue tells Of the many pre-
miums that are to be awarded for the
best exhibits. Secretary L. N. Brueg-
yerhof Of Shreveport will gladly send
catalogues to all asking for same.

Crowds GOinq TO Circus

A great many Meridian people
are going to Boise on Wednesday
August Both, to the Ringing
Bros, Circus. 1t will be the only
opportunity this year and the
railroads are preparing to handle
thousands of visitors from the
surrounding territory.
Ringing Brothers have made
many important improvements
since they last appeared in this
part of the country. AT Madison
Square Garden, New York, where
the season began, the performances
were attended nightly by the big
gest crowds that ever saw circus
in Manhattan, and the Newspapers
were not backward about saying
that the Ringing Brothers were
presenting in every respect, the
best entertainment of the kind
ever given there. The perform
auce in Boise will be identical
with those given in the Garden
not the slightest change having
been made in the long program.
The circus offered this year is
one of wonderful novelty. In
stead of the usual single thriller
presented by other cireuses, the
Ringing Brothers are heading
their bill with no less than seven
of the grertest and most SEN
sational acts that have ever been
presented anywhere on earth.
The parade will be given in the
forenoon. 1t will far surpass the
brilliant pageants which the Ring.
ling Brothers have given in past
years. having been entirely re-
built in the foreign workshops at.
Liverpool. England.

Poll tax is being collected II
Meridian by Marshal Downey
this week. Every one over 21,
man or woman, pays W and this

roads. There is some question
as to the county's right to this
money unless the road work is
done in Meridian, and until the
matter is settled, the money is
being turned into the hands of
the village treasurer.
There is considerable complaint
that renters in the vicinity of
Meridian, in many cases, were not
assessed this year, on their farm
stock. One farmer residing close
to Meridian, it is claimed has
several thousand dollars worth of
cattle and other stock and is not
assessed, This is an injustice to
the land owners who thus bear
the burden of the county ex.
penses.
L. 4, Butler, a we'll known
farmer residing "a miles north of
Meridian will have 200 tons of
choice hay this year, He has as
acres of timothy, and the crop
generally is quite satisfactory. |
In common with many others,
some of his clover land is short. |
as the clover roots froze last
winter, while the timothy was not
injured, Mr., Butler disposed of
his hay, baled last fall for $l4OOE
per ton, and expects an equally
good price this year.

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
Corps of Teachers Assigned to Their Various Grades. Ready for Be- ginning of school Septem-
 Der 18th.

Preparations are being made for the 19ll-12 term of the Forrest City Public School, which will begin on Tuesday September l9. MT $. R. Steele, of Waco, Texas, who has been elected as principal, has been in the city several weeks, and has announc. ed the following assignment of grades:
 High School-Latin Classics :. R. Steel, principal; English and History, Joe A. 4oangblood, assistant princi. pal. Mathematics and Science, Miss Ruby Farmer,of Pikeville, Tennessee
 Seventh and Eighth Grades-M Miss Pearl Davis.
 Sixth Grade-Miss Iva Cox.
 Fifth Grade Miss Dainty Gatling
 Fourth Grade-Miss Lollie liable tom.
 Third Grade-Miss Stella Doyle.
 Second Grade-Miss Clara Bride. we'll
 Primary Grade-Miss Lula Bride well
 Prof, Steele, the principal, is a new man, but comes well recommended. For the past couple of years he has been engaged in night school work in the |. M. C. A, at Savannah, Geor- gia, and at Phoenix, Arizona. MT. Younglood, assistant principal is a young man, native of Arkansas, and held the same position during the last term. Miss Ruby Farmer, who will assist Messrs. Steele and Young blood in the High School, is another new member of the faculty, as are Miss Doyle and Miss Davis, both of whom are Forrest City girls, and both of whom have wide pedagogic ex- perience. Miss Davis was for several years member of the faculty of the school here, but during the last term taught country school near the city.
 The corps of teachers as now organ ized looks good to the patrons, pupils and friends of the school, and most successful and profitable term is conf dently predicted.
 The school building has been and is undergoing complete renovation and cleaning. A notable improve ment this year will be the instala- tion of couple of drinking fountains in the play grounds, of the type known as sanitary, or in which nc cup or vessel of any kind is used.
 The only other requirement. now necessary, so far as we can determine at this time, to make our Public schools second to none in the State, is the hearty cooperation, sympathy, encouragement and moral support oi the public and patrons with and tc the Board and Faculty. This is the duty of every good citizen to give and, we predict. will be forthcoming
