Little Rock, Oct. 4-Under the
provisions of the decision given by
Judge .Trieber in federal court Fri

are to be registered as heretofore,
and they will be required to place
tags on the packages showing the an

The tax has been yielding the state

this year, this fund was retained by
the commissioner, but the last legis-
lature transferred it to the general
revenue fund, and appropriated $751;

SUCCESSFUL FAIR
NOW A CERTAINTY
.EXHIBITSARE UNEXCfLLED
MANAGEMENT CONFIDENT 5TH
ANNUAL EVENT WILL BE
MARVELLOUS SUCCESS.

Threatening skies and occasional
pattering raindrops this morning pre-
vented as large an opening attend
ance at the fifth annual Faulkner
county fair as was expected, but
there is no room for doubt that the
fair will be marvellous success in ev-
Iery particular, even though u1favora-
BILE weather should prevent it being a
financially profitable enterprise.
One has only to enter the grounds
to catch the enthusiastic spirit of a
new and grander Faulkner county-a
county of intelligent, prosperous,
fun-loving people.
One has only to compare the mag
nificent display of exhibits of Faulk-
ner county soil and Faulkner county
people with those shown at previods
fairs to realize what vast things have
been accomplished in such a short Pc
riod of time. The exhibits in every
department are at least three times
in number and incomparably better in
quality than those which were shown
when the fourth annual fair was Civ
en- one year ago today.
Promptly at 80 o'clock this after
noon Governor George w. Hays deliv-
cred the address which formally open
ed the fair. He was introduced by
County Judge, John w. Holt. Cover
nor Hays was very lax in his compli-
ments of Faulkner county, and stated
| that he was surprised at the large
number of exhibits in the agricultural
departments, as the year had been
very unfavorable one for the farmer
He was shown through the various
exhibit halls and was delighted with
the displays in every department.
Secretary w. B. Owen of the State
Highway Commission was also pres
ent and delivered a short address or
good roads.
Elmer Gimlin of Taylorville, Ill.
who acted in the capacity of officia
Judge of the poultry department, wa
loud in his praise of that exhibit, ant
stated that Faulkner county's show
the best one he has ever seen at
county fair. The winners in this de
partment will be announced in tn
Log Cabin Democrat tomorrow.
The Girls Canning Club have al
exhibit in the agricultural depart
this year for the first time, and the
are being congratulated on ever
hand. Their exhibit is excellent an
is being viewed by large crowds.
Tonight the fireworks display WI
be a feature attraction. The carnlvs
and concessions will be open and
general good time is in store for al
who attend.

FORMER FAULKNER
man ASSASSINATfD
BODY FOUND Near DALLAS
S. M. STALLINGS KILLED BY
UNKNOWN ASSASSINS IN
TEXAS.

Particulars were received here to-
day of the death Of S. M. Stallings
of Fort Worth, Tex, former Faulk-
ner county man and brother of Mrs.
J. w. Firestone of this city, who is
believed to have been assassinated
near Dallas some time last week. His
body, partially decomposed, with a
bullet hole through the back and the
skull crushed, was found last Satur-
day in a field near the Belmont addi-
tion to Dallas.
The theory of the officers is that
the man was shot and when he failed
to fall to the ground at once his as
sailant struck him in the back of the
head, crushing in the skull at the
base of the brain. ~
According to Dallas papers, it is
believed that revenge and not rob-
berry was the motive for Stallings
murder. A decoy letter is thought tc
have brought him to the place where
he met death. His gold watch and a
sum of money in his pocket were not
disturbed by his slayer.
Stallings was reared in this county
and will be remembered by many OF
the older citizens. He was formerly
chief of police at Waco, Tex, but fol
sevel al years past had been living al
Fort Worth. He was about As years
Of age and is survived by his widow

Mcmillan, is said to have executed on
April 10, 1918, conveying certain
lands to his five other children.
The plaintiffs filed five separate
suits, one against Cecil Mcmillan,
Zell Taylor and Sammie Mcmillan,
heirs of a deceased son of d. G. Nc
MILAN, and the others against Henry,
Mason and T. L. Mcmillan and Cora
Johnson. The complaint states the
alleged deeds were executed through
over-persuasion during period of
weakened mentality of the grantor
and are void on that account. d. G..
Mcmillan died in July, 1918.

LAST DAUGHTER OF
REVOLUTION DEAD
MRS. X. D. COLE EXPIRES
AGED WOMAN, WHOSE FATHER
FOUGHT IN REVOLUTION
AIRY WAR, DIES.
From Satu rday's Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
At 8 o'clock last night there ended
in this city the life of possibly the
last surviving child of a soldier of the
Revolutionary war. Mrs. Keziah d.
Cole, daughter of John McCallister,
who served in the American army in
the first war against Great Britain,
peacefully passed away, after gradu-
ally declining in health for several
weeks, at the home of Mrs. M. j.
Maddox on Caldwell street.
"Aunt Kitty as she was known to
all her friends, celebrated the 93rd
anniversary of her birth on June 10
last. For six years she had been an
invalid as result of an accidental
fall in which her thiggh was broken,
but her mind remained clear and
bright up to within few days of her
death.
The body was taken this morning
to Mrs. Coles former home at Gun
town, Miss, and was accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Cole.
Mrs. Coles father, John McCallis-
ter, served for two years and three
months in the war between the Amer
lean colonies and Great Britain. His
daughter was in possession of docu-
ment from the United States depart
ment of the interior giving proof OF
this service and mentioning several
important battles in which he was en-
gagged. Throughout the latter portion
of his life he drew pension from the
United States for his service and
after his death, Mrs. Coles mother,
who died in 1885 at the age of 92,
also drew a pension as widow OF
Revolutionary soldier.
Mrs. Cole was born in Richmond
county, North Carolina, June 10, 1920.
She is the widow of an uncle of Major
w. D. Cole of this city, and, after
the death of her husband, she has
been in the care Of three generations
of the Cole family, Major Coles faith
er, himself and his son, W. d. Cole,

Splendid RECORD
OF RURAL SCHOOL
GREENBRIER'S fine WORK
WHAT THE PROGRESSIVE PEO-
PIE OF THAT VILLAGE HAVE
ACCOMPLISHED.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The power of community co-opera-
ton is being thoroughly demonstrat-
ed here in the accomplishments of the
School Improvement Association at
this place.
About year ago our school board
realized, on account of the large num-
ber of children in the district and the
increasing demand for higher grades
in the school work, the pressing need
of more room in the school building.
We had at that time building of
three good-sized rooms which was
practically new, having been built
about five years ago. To supply this
present need, and looking also to the
future, the board proceeded to erect
another building, consisting of
large and well-arranged auditorium
on the ground floor and two class
rooms and library on second floor.
To make these improvements and
at the same time maintain the regu-
lar school term on a total tax levy OF
seven mills, required the making of
debt of few hundred dollars and,
by the way, we want to say here that
in our humble judgment, there is no
one thing within the power of the
legislature to do that would be OF
more benefit to the common school in
terests of Arkansas than making the
limit of school tax levy Is mills, thus
giving the people chance to do that
which they feel is their duty in the
matter of educating their children.
Getting back to our subject, will
say that about the time we were max
| ing the above mentioned improve.
ments a School Improvement Assocla-
ton was organized under the leader
ship of which much substantial alo
has been rendered the school. Enter
tainments of different kinds have
been given, the proceeds going to the
school. On the 4th of July, this year
an educational rally and picnic was
held, netting the school $125. Not be
ing satisfied with small effort, sever
scres of land was planted in cottoi
and cultivated by the S. l. A. and 9th
err friends of the school, from Whlcl
we will gather four bales of cottol
which, at present price, after payln'
rent on land and fertilizer bill, will
net the school about 5000.
The people of Greenbrier and com
munity feel very proud of the worl
done in the interest of education a
this place and we think we are JUST
fed in feeling so.
Our 1914 term of school begal
today, and with the interest manifes
among the people, together with
we'll qualified teaching force, we ar
expecting much to be accomplished.
We are submitting this statemen
of work done here in the hope, dea
reader, that if your school is no
what it should be you may realize tn
truth of the old saying, What other
have done you can do" and put fort
every effort possible to better condi
tions, that your child and mine, ma.
be better prepared to render servic
to their country as citizens and t.
their fellow-man as neighbors thar
we. Yours for education.
