fNTHUSIASM OVER
 .,.. ] THE SLATE FAIR
WELL MANIFESTED IN BANNER CROWD THAT ATTENDS PlC- 5NICi Air WHITTINGTON PARK.
Government Demonstrators Jeifotds Makes it PIain That Next Fair Will
 be Greatest in, History. !

>. Hot Springs: A AIk., { June 1a.-rThe largest crowd that5 ever gathered at Wilmington park was there last night in, responlse;ste a general invitation from the Board of Directors Of the Arkansas State Fair Association, to attend this picnic occasion, the pri- mary object of which was to get to- gether and enthuse over the coming Arkansas State Fair, which promises to be more than four times as large as any ever held in this state.
 The general congeniality of the oc- casion expressed the sentiment of the people, except such expression as was | voiced in various speakers, who ill | brief addresses helped to bring the people to a greater realization of the importance of the big fall exposition and festival in this city.
 Mayor Waters representing the city Rev. Tate and Rev. Cross represent ing the churches. Hon. l.. E. Saw yer, representing the legislative branch, w. M. Ebel, representing the state press, President Harry M. Vest colt, representing the state fair, and l Government Demonstration Jeffords l representing the work the govern ment is doing in this state for both county and state exhibits, were all given careful and critical attention by a large audience that packed the au- ditorium to an uncomfortable condi | tion.
 Each reviewed briefly the fair, and the future, and all were of the posi- tive assurance that never before was there such all opportunity for such a big annual exposition as has made Dallas and other southern cities fam ous, as now faces the people here. l Particular interest was given MT. Jeffords, who set out some of the big things the state fair had undertaken for the coming exposition that had never been done before, and who also made it plain to the people how all the government agents and demon- strators in the state were now at work to common end of making the county fairs round out with good re- suits, and the best of all these be J shown in competition at the state fair.
 There was no effort made to raise any further funds for the state fair at this meeting, it being strictly in the nature of social occasion. There was plenty of excellent barbecued meats and loaves of bread for those who gathered early to join in the pie nic feature of the occasion, and then there was music by NLedgerwood's band, and various forms of entertain ment, which kept the fast increasing crowd busy. The dance pavilion, the 1 free motion picture hall, the Leap the l Dips, and tho other features of the park were busy with the throng, and were kept busy until late hour when I the excellent car service returned home the pleasure seekers in happy frame of mind for an evening we'll spent, with it's important object dem onstrated of proving the popularity of the Arkansas State Fair .as g fixture and attestlng that the'people are be- hind the movement ir everything ne- cessary to it's success.

kESTNER VICTIM
OF OWN KINDNESS.

Bob Gerrick broke into the Shan
non home during the last county fair.
He received six months. He was
young fellow, drunk when he robbed
the house, and the officers felt sorry
for him and gave him every privilege.
Aside from grabbing a drink out of
a bottle of booze which was taken
away from a prisoner and left in the
desk at the sheriff's office, he never
betrayed trust. His time was up
not long since and Deputy Sheriff Doc
Kestner hunted him a job. getting one
at the telephone office. Doc gave his
wife orders to vacate the tent in
which they were sleeping, and these
hot nights the Kestner family have
been sweltering in the house, while
cherub faced Bobbie was peacefully
sleeping in the nice cool tent out in
the back yard.
Saturday night Doc had a good
run at the picture show, and grabbed
off about fifty bones, which were
slowed away in nice little brown
bag (not Byrdie's) awaiting the open
ing Of the bank Monday morning. Sun
day afternoon Mrs. Kestner went to
visit her sister for about ten min
utes, and returning found Doc sprawl
ed out on the porch and everything
serene
Monday morning Doc took the bag
let to the bank, Wendall Gagon count
ed him short and Doc ran home to
look for the rest of the kael Twenty
eight, ninety-five and Bobbie were
missing. It's all right. There are
about one hundred descriptions of Ger
rick floating arond and they will pick
him up sooner or later.

JUST A FEW LOCUSTS

Last week E. n. Kennedy and son
Forest, were returning from Mackay
in Mr.. Kennedy's car, and when about
three miles this side of Powell, they
heard peculiar, buzzing sound. Think
ing the car was not in proper work
ing order Mr.. Kennedy stopped and
commenced an examination. What wal
his surprise when he stepped to the
ground? There were thousands upon
thousands Of locusts in the sage brush,
on the ground, and in the car. Creep
ing, crawling everywhere. Mr.. Ken
nedy believes that it was the most
wonderful sight he ever saw, but
not liking them as companions he
did not tarry long.

But Bill Snyder, the Keeper, Said the
CONNECTION Was Wasted on
Miss Murphy.

1t is throwing money away, accord
ing. to Bill Snyder, head keeper of the
Central park menagerie, to feed a
hippo on pies, especially on the mince
variety. This observation by the
keeper was elected after he had
tossed a beautiful mince pie into the
yawning mouth of Miss Murphy, one
of the hippos in the menagerie.
The hippo had been promised the
pie by a man on the upper West side
fully a week ago. He said he wanted
the kids" to have a laugh. When
Miss Murphy gulped the pie down
yesterday more than a score Of per
sons, as well as the kids" laughed.
It was a conventional 30 cent pie,
but Miss Murphy looked more impor-
tant than 80 cents when she began to
crush the deIicacy in her seesawing
Jaws. According to the man who car
RED the pie to the menageTie he had
soaked it well in brandy. He was &C
companied by two lads.
Snyder tickled the h1ppo's chin with
the edge Of the pie, and as she opened
her mouth, he sent the whole thing in
at once, as if it were a straw hat.
Some bugs in this town." said the
keeper. a woman came here yesteT-
day and wanted to know if she could
get a permit to give the lions catnip.

he was the only brigade commander
who led his brigade in that charge
of the Sixteenth Corps, and he was
on horseback at that. A lane ran
along the front of and below the high
woodland upon which the Pointe Cou-
pee battery was, and the Confederates
took the inside fence rails and placed
them on top of the outer fence, with
the ends resting on top of the fence
and sloped towards us, the lower
ends covered with dirt to keep them
in place They were laid close to-
gether, and it was difficult to climb
them. A shell had knocked out a
part of the obstruction AS I was
looking towards the battery Gt was
pouring grape, canister and shrapnel
at us all the time), did not notice
the movement of the regiment to the
right; consequently when l saw it
there was a break in my company Of
some Is or 100 yards | told the re-
naming eight or ten boys that we
would go to that gap and go over.
The boys boosted me up and as /
gained the top I saw Col. Marshall
come galloping down from the right.
He rode out into the crowd of fleeing
Confederates, calling out: Lay down
your arms and surrender I jumped
down, and telling the boys to follow
( me, ran after the colonel, giving the
same call. There were apparently
thousands OF them trying to get over
the hills to the Franklin pike Our
left claimed the capture of that bat
terry, too, yet we had been in posses
sion quite awhile before their line
had fairly started"
