HONEST ADVICE TO

Somehow there exists a vast amount of

facts, and are sincere in what we assert
The reason we advise all Consumptives
TO take Eckmans Alternative promptly
and faithfully is because we have the re-

declared that the control of tuberculosis
and the municipal efforts to stamp out
the disease should not be left wholly in
the hands Of health officers or city health
departments. DR.. Probst. who formerly
occupied the position Of state health Of
ficer in Ohio. declared that observation
has taught him that local health officers
frequently are incompetent to handle the
disease in an intelligent manner
1T would seem wise said DR.. Probst
that there should be official control Of
tuberculosis in the sense of directing
systematizing and co-ordinating the work
done in its prevention; its eradication
should be considered a governmental
problem, and generous appropriations
should be made to this end by the nation

YESTERDAY 5000
 PEOPLE ATTENDED
TOMORROW IS LAST DAY
MAIN FEATURE OF TODAY'S PROGRAM IS REUNION EX-
 CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

The attendance at the fair is a record-breaker. The weather has been favorable, and more country peo- pie than ever before have availed themselves of the opportunity of sec ing the fair. while the list of home corners and outsiders has been unus- ualiy good. The gate receipts so far exceed those of any previous fair and the stockholders and manager are iub- liant over the success of the fair. Manager King stated today that there were between seven and eight thous- and people attended the fair yester- day.
 Today IS Old Confederate's Day and, although the speakers who were invited to attend did not arrive, good reun- ion was had The veterans formed in line on the public square and marched to the grounds, the Martin band and company of the Daughters of the Con- federacy preceding them On the grounds, Pres. J. J. Doyne and Col. G. w. Bruce made short addresses, elo- quenI III praise or the Oid south and her matchless soldiery. The veterans then sang old-time war songs and the company broke up.

 The feature of last nights program was the acrobatic exhibition by the Flying Humptons," a troupe of foul acrobats. Most of their acts are ex- ceedingly novel and it is easily the best attraction of it's kind which has beer 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 anC entertaining feature ever offered in g 1 fair program. All real fiddlers are urged to be there but violinists are not wanted. Mayor w. H. Duncan, who has charge of the contest, wants the contestants to meet in the morning at 8 o'clock. The grand prize is $50 fid- dle with other cash prizes and gifts Each fiddler will be given a souvenir and admittance to the grounds.
 The baby show will take place at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in front of the grandstand. The prizes to be awarded are now on display at c. H Robinette's jewelry store.
 The usual display of fireworks and performance by the Flying Hump tons" will complete the program and the fourth annuai>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 250 years ago and given to the great, great, great grand mother of the present owner, Mrs. R. F. Leslie. The quilt is in remarkably good condition A silk Masonic apron 102 years old, owned by Mrs. J. J. Smith, is also attracting a good deal of attention Perhaps the most remark able is a counterpane owned by Mrs. J. C. HlgSS. A great dncesloT ol MIs. Higgs picked the cotton hand-picked the lint from the seed, spun and wove it. It is also in good condition.
 The scoring in the poultry depart ment of the fair was finished Tuesday afternoon by Elmer Gimlin of Fay lorville, H., acting as judge. Mir. Gimlin says that this is one of the best poultry shows he has judged this season. The brown leghorns were in 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 little light for the early season show. They outclassed

Final Proof Publication

AS we have a number of enqui-
ries from those who have made
application to prove up, and whose
notice has not been published,we
would like to say that on account
of the rush of work at the General
Land Office that it may be some
time before the publication of new
notices commence. A very large
number of hearings in final proof
cases has been held before each of
the many commissioners, and the
entire evidence will have to be re-
viewed at the Clayton office which
will probably take considerable
time. No new business will be
commenced until the business al
ready started has been disposed
Of. At the same time that the
notice is sent 10 the paper to be
published, a yellow card stating
the paper in which the publica
ton will be made, and the date
and commissioner before whom
the testimony will be taken, viii
be sent the applicant, so until yo'
receive this card, it is useless tt
worry about whether or uct tn
publication has been made.
