Senator Bourne has had enough and is willing to allow the people to select his successor when his time expires Well there will be others The people having been empowered to make their choice. it is to be expected they will select other than well known corpora ton lawyers.
 The country is now passing through a metamorphosis that is far reaching in it's scope. Changes are now in order from the lowest to the highest office in the land. People are awakening to the fact that they are power if united for reform, also they have been de- prived for years of their rights so are going to keep right after the powers, that be-" until they are restored.

 The work is to begin on Monday and continue six days, or until the pike is completed. However, the business houses are to close for one day only but a number of men from this township will assist in the work during the entire week.

PLAYED WITH PISTOL.
One Youth Fatally Shoots Another
 at Magazine.

Magazine, Ark. Aug. 24.-The en- tire neighborhood was greatly shocked Sunday evening when it was reported that Frank Elkins, age r, had accidentally shot and fatally wounded Sarlis Murphy, boy of about the same age.
 The pistol had been snapped at least a dozen times when Murphy, who had started to church and stopped at the Elkins residence.
 In a spirit of fun Frank pointed the gun at Murphy and again pulled the trigger. His grief was inconsol- able when he found he had shot and killed his best friend.
 Both boys are of highly respect ed families. Carlis Murphy is a son of Elder E. B. Murphy, a prominent minister of this neighborhood. Mur- phy lived only a few hours.

MAY NOT HOLD
 COUNTY FAIR
Farmers Do Their Part, but People of Paragould Have Not Re- sponded With the Nec-
 essary Money.

paragould, Aug. 25.-Tt now seems that a fair for Greene county this fall is not an assured fact. A meet
 ing of the Fair Association was held at the courthouse early in the week, at which time the soliciting com mittee made it's report. The com- mittee reported that it had only se- cured subscriptions to amount of about $5,000, and that of this amount about $l,000 was subscribed by the farmers of the county, while the citizens of Paragould have only subscribed $i,000.
 tis stated that the farmers would take more of the stock in the or ganization, but that they want the business men of this city to take their share of the stock, arguing that the fair will be as much bene- fit to the city as to the county in general. Another meeting of the stockholders will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at which time it is hoped to complete ar engagements for the fair. This will, perhaps, be the final effort of the association to hold a fair this year.
