The feature of last nights program
was the acrobatic exhibition by the
Flying Humptons," troupe of four
acrobats. Most of their acts are ex-
ceedingly novel and it is easily the best
attraction of its kind which has been
seen in Conway. The fireworks con-
tinue to be good.
Tomorrow closes the fair and an ex-
ceptionally good program has been ar
ranged for The Old Fiddler's Con-
test promises to be the most novel and
entertaining feature ever offered in a
fair program. All real fiddlers are
urged to be there but violinists are not
wanted. Mayor w. H. Duncan, who

The usual display of fireworks and
performance by the "Flying Hump
tons" will complete the program and
the fourth annual fair will be a matter
of history.
There are several pieces in the La
dies Department on the second floor of
the exhibit hall which are worthy of
notice. One is quilt which was pieced
in Scotland over $50 years ago and
given to the great, great, great grand
mother of the present owner, Mrs. K. F..
Leslie The quilt is in remarkably
good condition. A silk Masonic apron
1O2 years old, owned by Mrs. j. j..
Smith, is also attracting a good deal of
attention. Perhaps the most remark
able is counterpart owned by Mrs j..
C. Higgs. A great ancestor of Mrs.
Riggs picked the cotton, hand-picked
the lint from the seed, spun and wove
it. 1t is also in good condition.
The scoring in the poultry depart
ment of the fair was finished Tuesday
afternoon by Elmer Gimlin of Tay-
lorville, ILL.,, acting as judge. Mr..
Gimlin says that this is one of the
best poultry shows he has judged this
season. The brown leghorns were in
a class by themselves. The white
wyandottes were about as good as are
shown this early in the season. The
Rhode Island reds are good all over,
but most of them are a little light for
the early season show. They outclassed
all other breeds in number, 1877 be-
ing cooped In all there were 514
birds. w. H. Griffin of Vilonia has
on exhibition a hen II years old; the
white opossum and the table full of
bantams of different varities attract
ed a good deal of attention.
