World and they have met with marked
success in securing the names of pros-
pective members. A brief history Of
the order as outlined by the ladies at

IN lower town Friday evening last is
as follows; Thirteen years ago it was q
struggling little order of 5000 mem bers
with $4,000 debts, but at the present
time it has grown to $4,000 members
and has surplus of two and half
million dollars. Much of it's sucoess
however is due to the efforts of Su.
creme Guardian Emma B Msnchester.
One pleasing feature about this order
is the fact that they have never raised
assessments. The ladies will return to
Hot Springs later to complete the or
ganization of the grove,

Rest and jolliest, the picnic dinner aud
supper above the standard, (Fal J

ed
Each neighborhood in the county

on the train while great many drove
in, arriving in time for dinner which
was one of the first and most import.
ant numbers on the program. After
dinner the crowd bled on the
bowery and in the seats which had
been erected for their convenience and
listened to short talks by some of the
old timers as we'll as some of the later
arrivals. Attorney w. B. Dudley in
troduced each speaker in very graci-
Gus manner and they responded in
most cases for fear that "Bill" being an
old timer might remember some lit le
incident in the dim distant past that
they might not care to recall. Ed Clark
of Ardmore, was the first called on and
after few remarks WAS followed by
William Wyatt of Edgemont, another
of the old timers. He WAS followed by
Attorneys Hedrick, Ward and Wilson.
Mr Ward of this trio however ia one
of the later arrivals but he neverthe-
less qualified AS an after dinner talker.
Rev. Holler Of the Baptist Church, WAS
the last speaker on the program and he
too proved to be equal to the occasion.
The music at the bowery started al
about four O'Clock. The first number
WAS the grand march which WAS led by
DR. r. d. Jennings and Mrs. G. A
Turner and after the old timers had
started the ball rolling everyone both
old and young took advantage of this
opportunity to trip the light fantastic
toe. The music ceased long enough for
supper and the dancing was then re
snmed and lasted until early the fol-
lowing morning.
A list of the prize winners in the
different events, and for the grain, etc,
exhibits will be published next week.

HARVESTING BUMPER CROPS
WILL ASSURE fine EXHIBITS.

r. NJ. Stewart, president of the Buf.

the city yesterday distributing the
premium lists for the coming fair
which will be held at tie Gap on Sep
tember "a % 26. In Offering the prem.
inm list they make they following an.
nouncement:
The Buffalo Gap Fair Association
was organized in zoos for the purpose
of improving the various productions
of the section it represents, and ad
vertising it's natural resources. Be.
lieving that the educational feature
should be paramount, a policy was
adopted which differs from that of any
similar organization in that no admis-
sion charges are made except for the
sports and amusements. The exhibi.
ton halls and stock barns are open
throughout each day for the free in.
speotion of the displays. Liberal prem
lams are paid on all classes of live
stock, grains fruits, vegetables, etc,
but just sufficient money appropriated
for racing to insure some clean but red
hot dashes for short distances.
1912 has been the banner year since
the birth of this organic ,tion and the
exhibits will eXcell those of any previ
Gus meeting and we appeal to the pro-
ducsr to favor us with the best they
have in every class.
1t is impossible at this time to give
complete and.reliable program for each
day, but can assure patrons that there
will be no dull moments. Several spe.
clal anus ments and sports are being
arranged for. There will baseball, foot
ball, horse races, pony races, Squaw
races, foot races, pulling contests, tugs
of war, band concerts, etc.
The parade at II O'Clock on the Sec
ond day, Wednesday 25th, will be a
special feature
