The recent legislature appropriated
nearly a half million for the compile

sending to 10 schools in each county a

that it be sown on the school yard by

of the idea as Prof. Bond expects them
to, he will make arrangements next

temporary affair which has done SER
vice since the building was first oc-
cuped two years ago.
The commission will go over the en-
tire work with Cass Gilbert, the New
York architect, and prepare for the
asking of bids upon the completion of
the building. The capitol will then
begin the transformation from par
tally completed building, with bare
walls, to a thing of beauty. The
walls will be tinted so there will be
no trace of dirt, as is now shown on
the formerly white walls. The rough
concrete floors of the basement and
sub-basement vii lbe completed and
marble will be their pavement. The
scagliola columns, politician factor
in Arkansas in days gone by, will give
way to marble and the old lined
excavation around the building win
be changed so it will be a regular or
nament.
The commission is expected to Sc
cure the services of a competent land
scape gardener and architect, who
will take charge of the grounds and
convert them into a park with ter
races all around, and asphalt walks
and drfveways intersecting.

FAIR MANAGER
Third CONSECUTIVE Time
PLANS FOR EXHIBITION OF
TOWNSHIPS ADOPTED LAST
NIGHT.

At meeting of the directors of the
Faulkner County Fair Association
held in the store of Wilson Bros. last
night, J. A. King was elected manager
of the fifth annual county fair which
will be held in this city on October z,
8, 9, and 10, inclusive. This is the
third consecutive time Mr. King has
been elected manager, and by his un-
tiring efforts, has made the last two
fairs better in every particular than
those which preceded.
Manager King will begin at once
making arrangements for the fair. 1t
is his intention to have the 1913 fair
superior in every respect to the others.
An exhibition contest will be a fea-
ture of the fair this year and will
doubtless cause a great amount of
friendly rivalry among the different
townships of the county. Each town
ship will have its own exhibition and
the one with the best display of agri-
culture, horticulture, poultry, etc, will
be awarded first prize. Four prizes
will be awarded, the first being $50;
the second, $25; the third, SIS, and
the fourth, $40.
Cadron township, which includes the
city of Conway, will be exempt from
the contest on account of it being
much 1arppr than the others HoWeV-
er, residents of Cadron township will
be eligible to compete for individual
prizes, which will be practically the
same as those of preceding years.
Every township that competes for
the prizes will have a man to take
charge of the exhibit, and the fair as
sociation desires that they be notified
in advance of the ones that intend tC
enter the contest, so that ample space
can be provided for each one.
