A small but enthusiastic crowd of stockholders of the Faulkner County Fair Association met at the court house last night elected directors foI the ensuing year and discussed plans for bigger and better fair next De- tober than any previous event. II. B. Ingram, president of the association. presided at the meeting and Frank Paris was secretary.
 The new directors elected are II. B.. Ingram, R. B. McCulloch, F. U. Hal ter, c. W. A. Wilson, w. W. Mar tin, Jo Frauenthal and J. W.

A. wilson made 9 brief verbal report or fast years fair and stated they would prepare a detailed report for publication within few days. The unusually heavy rain during the fair last October, they stated, caused reduction of probably half in the receipts, yet the association had met every obligation paid debt of about S70O carried over from the first year. and had sufficient funds in the treas ury to pay five per cent dividend. which the old board of directors had ordered paid.
 It was decided to begin plans at once for the next fair, and with a board of directors chosen. from among the strongest and most progressive business men of the city, it is believed the fair next October will be decided ly the most successful ever held here.

MFTHOD|STS PLAN
 IMPROVEMENTS

Plans for the improvement of the Conway Methodist church were dis cussed at the monthly meeting of til board of stewards last night. It was practically decided to enlarge the seating capacity of the building either by the erection of an addition or by installing an additional gallery. AL though small frame building was recently secured for Sunday school rooms, both it and the church are crowded almost beyond their capacity by the Sunday school, and frequently it is impossible to seat all who attend the preaching services. The stewards also decided to install some new cleo tric light fixtures and to equip the church with electric fans.

Barring the last inning, yesterday s game between Hendrix College and the State Normal, the first of the SC; son between the local collegiate ir stitutions, was one of the most hotl contested and exciting exhibitions Of the season. In HendriX's half of u ninth the Pedagogues went to pieces, allowing two hits and making four CT TOTS, which netted their rivals five runs. Piercey, who played short for the Normal, was in the air during this round, making three costly errors.
 The Normal was first to score, put ting one across in the third on a short single and c. Moore's two-base hit. They scored again in the seventh, when Westmoreland got to third as his single went through Charles, and Roberts dropped Martins pop fly.
 Hendrix did not reach first until the fifth, and did not score until the seventh. In that inning Garvey and Harrison singled and scored on Park er's two-bagger, after Scott had sac rifced. Parker registered on Charles hit for two bases.

 Little Rock, May 2.-Out of A ap- plications presented during the month, Governor Donaghey granted pardons to 10 convicts in the Arkan- sas penitentiary today, declining to extend clemency to 34 cases.
 Among the convicts pardoned is Newt Alwhite, who, when 16 years old, assisted his father in the murder of a man in Jackson county. The father was lynched by mob shortly after the crime was committed and the boy sent to the pententiary. The boy is now totally blind, and this fact actuated the governor in granting him pardon.
