FAIR" STORES AN
 ARKANSAS PRODUCT
IN CHAIN CON TROLLED BY HARRISON
 MAN OPENED HERE.

The Fair stores, a chain of mer- cantile establishments, of which which the one just opened at Conway makes the eighteenth in operation in this state, IS strictly an Arkansas product, according to J. E. Mason of Searcy, who has been here assisting in open ing up the new business and in ar ranging for sale of the stock pur- chased from Wilkins < Walthall. Mr Mason is a former newspaper man, having been for several years editor of the twice -a-week Banner at Harri- son.
 The idea of the stores is that of F. R. Mitchell of Harrison, who about 12 years ago opened "The Fair No. :" at Harrison, with capital cf S1 900. For several years past new stores have been opened at various points, the operation being confined until re cently to northwest Arkansas. No. r was opened a few weeks ago at Car lisle and No. 19 will be opened at kensett August l, making five in White county.
 Each store, MT. Mason states, IS a separate corporation, although MT Mitchell is president in each corpor- a;ion. When new store is estab- lisheG stock is subscribe by stock he 'ders in the other stores, but usual ly new man, selected to manage the new store, is invited to purchase stock and enter the corporation. MT. Mason claims that by buying in large quantities the stores are able to un- dersell smaller concerns.
 c. J. Lichlyter of Searcy is at pres ent in charge of the Conway store, but will be succeeded by the permanent manager, Ray R. Ramey of Mountain Home, within few weeks. MT, Lich- lyter will be in charge of the new store at Kensett.
 The store at Conway was located and the stock of Wilkins X Walthall purchased by MT. Mitchell, A. c.

welcomed the beginning of their an- nual vacation.
 The court set aside the submission of the case of the State, eX rel. At torney General, vs. Trulock ct al, commissioners of Pine Bluff inn provement district. Hearing was passed until fall for further argument and consideration.
 The case involves the validity of all the improvement districts now in pro cess of formation. It involves the con struction of an act of the 1913 legls- lature which sought to introduce inn portant changes in the law on that subject. It is said the effect of the act was to repeal the improvement dis trict law by leaving out the author itv of the city council upon the ques tion of whether or not a majority have asked for the improvement. In amending and re-inacting certain section of Kirby's Digest which gives authority to the city council to ap- point commissioners, the framers of the new statute left out ali reference to the appointment of commissioners; and it is contended by the attorney general and other counsel in the case that it abrogated the old section and left the city council without authority at all to appoint commissioners.
 If the supreme court sustains that view it will nulify the whole improve ment district law. All improvement districts in the state which have been formed since the passage of the new statute are effected by it and the su- preme court passed the case to allow everybody interested an opportunity to be heard. The importance of the case. it is said, is far reaching.

PEACH CROP BEGINS
 10 BE MARKETED
FIRST ARE CARLOADS SHIPPED FROM WEST ARKANSAS
 TOWNS

Fort Smith, July 15.-The peach crop began moving in earnest yester day. when the lrst carload shipments were made They were out of Fl Do- rado, De Queen and Horatio. Rains, followed by hot weather, are causing the crop to ripen fast, and from re ports received by hailroads from the southwestern part of the fruit belt yesterday it is possible that the num- Der of pickers will be inadequate to move the crop as soon as it is ready for shipment
 Although the crop from southwest tern Arkansas will be very short, it's quality will be unexcelled. Unlike the crop from many of the northern sec tions, where the yield will be large, the fruit will not have a wormy ap- pearance.
 The first carload shipments from the Johnson orchard at Highland be- gin this week. The orchard will pro duce $50 carloads this year, compared with 1 ,000 last year.
 Cantaloupe shipments in carloads began for the first time this year when two carloads were sent out of Van Blu

, GENERATIONS IN
 ANOTHER FAMILY MIR. FINTON, 94, IS..HfAD AGED CLINTON WOMAN HAS FOUR GREAT-GREAT GRAND
 CHILDREN LIVING.

The publication in the Log Cabin Democrat recently of a story of Jas. H. Reynolds, Sr., as the head of a family of five living generations, has brought out the fact that another family living in this and Van Buren counties is similarly distinguished, the
 fifth generation in this case number ing four instead of one, as in the case of MT Reynolds descendants.
 Lafayette Cavender of Damascus, who was here yesterday to appear be- fore the Faulkner County Confederate Pension Board, told the Log Cabin Democrat of this remarkable family of which his mother, Mrs Frances Finton of Clinton, 94 years of age. is the head. In two branches of her des- cendants Mrs. Finton has four great great grandchildren three of whom are MT. Cavender's great grandchil- dren and one the great-grandchild of his sister, Mrs Minerva E. Bradford of Clinton.
 The death of MT. Cavender's son leaves a broken link in the chain of descent from him. but in the collateral branch of his sister all five genera tions are living. These are Mrs. Fin ton, the mother; Mrs. Bradford, the daughter; William B. Finton, the grandson; Mrs. Vera Jackson of Clin- ton, the great grand daughter, and a four-year-old son of Mrs. Jackson, the great-great-grandson.
 Through descent from her son, Mr. Cavender, Mrs. Finton has three other great-great grandchildren: Roy Smith, ,, and Ada Smith, 3, children of Mrs. Fife Smith of Vilonia; and Ruby Bev- ems, 3, daughter of Mrs Sallie Bev- ems of Little Rock.
 Mrs. Finton, who lacks less than six years of attaining the century mark, was born February ,, 1919, in Ten nessee. When a young girl her pa rents moved to Mississippi, where she met and was married in 1888 to her first husband, James M. Cavender, who had come from Alabama. The couple moved in 1850 to Bayou Meto township, Pulaski county, and from that place they moved in 1860 to White county. The husband died in 1862 and in 1863 the widow was mar ried at Little Rock to Patrick Finton, who died in 1876 At his death Mrs Finton went to Van Buren county, where she has since made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Bradford. It is a coincidence that the daughters first marriage was also to man nam- ed Finton, unrelated to her mothers second husband
 Mr. Cavender states that his moth CT, while she has been confined to her bed for the past nine months with in- firmities incident to her eXtS 'oe age, suffers few discomforts from illness, eats heartily, sleeps well and appar- ently enjoys life to the fullest extent. She delights in company and her mind IS still clear and unimpaired.
 MT Cavender, himself 69 years of age, was among those granted a pen sion by the Faulkner county board. He served throughout the war in the ranks of the Confederacy, enlisting first in Peasants 27th Arkansas regi- ment and afterwards being trans ferred to Wits regiment, which made the famous Missouri raid in 1864. While in Conway he visited his niece, Mrs E. O. Brannon of this city.

Look before you Leap
might well be considered the
mot, of the President-elect. A
naturally analytical mind, to-
'"flo" with long years of schol-
arly training and meditation up
on tie fundamentals of life and
government, have engendered
an intellectual attitude as eau
tiouS and reasonable in the in
eeption of a plan of action as it
is fearless and convincing in the
prosecution Of it. Slow to make
a decision or take a stand upon
any issue, great or small, until
all the evidence is in. tireless in
his efforts to gather the last
item of that evidence, he takes
his final position with the as
surance and solidity that comes
of complete conviction. 1t is
characteristic of Mr.. Wilson that
while he said little during the
campaign about matters of So
cial betterment, feeling that, for
him at least, the time was not
yet ripe, he is now considering
with great interest and enthu-
siasm the plans of prominent
workers from all fields
of humanitarian endeavor. At

this purpose he said
