POULTRY SHOW AT
The STATE FAIR
New Superintendent of Poultry
Department Promises Great
Show This Year

Hot Springs, July 14-Poultry
raisers and fanciers throughout
Arkansas, and the entire country
for that matter, will be gratified to
learn that the Arkansas State Fair
management has chosen for super
intendent of the poultry depart
ment for the 1918 fair, O.. C. Will
liams, one of the most enthusiastic
poultry breeders and exhibitors in
the entire south.
Every former exhibitor at the
fair will recall Mr.. Williams, who
was always prominently identified
with the poultry exhibit. He has
recently organized the Garland
County Poultry Association, and
has been elected secretary of the
organization. 1t is his purpose to
foster like organizations in prac-
tically all the counties of the state
with the central interest in the big
Arkansas State Fair.
Mr.. Williams invites every poul-
try raiser and fancier in the State
of Arkansas and all other southern
states, as well as those of the
north, east and west to correspond
with him with reference to the
1913 State Fair exhibit which he
promises to make the greatest
ever held in the state.

CLERKS OFFICE IS
VERY ATTRACTIVE
Several Prominent Citizens rlen-
toned as Probable Candi-
dates for County Clerk

Prospective candidates for the
various county offices are begin
ing to feel the pulse of the dear
people with the hope of finding
the political temperature favorable
to their aspirations.
1t is said that there will prob
ably be some eight or ten candi-
dates for sheriff., but The Jour-
nal has been unable to get reliable
information as who all the parties
are that will be in the race for
that office.
Those who want to be county
clerk are not quite so timid and
are letting themselves be known.
Among those who will be in this
race, it is learned on apparently
reliable authority that the follow
ing are probable candidates: ].
A. Kennard, present deputy clerk;
Alvin Pickens, of Dota; Wash
Browning, of Rutherford; Woods
Magness, of Newark; S. B. wy
cough, the present deputy circuit
clerk; and ]. D. Magness, of New
ark. There will probably be
others, but if reports are true all
the above named gentlemen will
be candidates for the county clerks
office provided, of course, that
none of them change their mind,
or get cold feet. At any rate they
are a pretty nice bunch of gentle
men and if any of them don't run
it can't be said that it was because
of the company he is in.

FORMER NEWARK
MAN MURDERED
ElSton Brewer, Former EmpIoye
of The journal, Killed at
Vicksburg, Miss

Vicksburg, Miss, July 15.-It is
believed that the body of a young
white man found in the Yazoo Ca
nal this afternoon is that of Elston
Brewer of Newport, Ark, who
reached this city several days ago
accompanied by travelling COM
panion, who gave his name as S.
L. Johnson.
The body was recovered by
Peter Petkovseek, pilot of a launch
which was making its regular trip
between this city and Desoto Is
land, opposite Vicksburg. When
the body was dragged from the
water it was found that it was
weighted down with large stone
tied around the waist. Coroner ].
Ii. Thompson and the coroner's
jury with the aid of number of
bystanders, uncovered the head of
the body which had been tied up
in a corn sack and was badly beat
en- with an axe, which was found
in one of the small boats in which
the two men had come to this city.
S. L. Johnson, upon circumstan-
tial evidence, was arrested and
put in the county Jail. He denied
he was guilty. He claimed Brewer
left this city Sunday to accept a
position on an afternoon paper in
Memphis, and he was positive the
body was not Brewer. Two steam
boat men said they felt sure the
body was that of Brewer. Johnson
after Brewer disappeared offered
to sell everything with the two
boats to T. NJ. Morrissey for $3.50
and later made an offer to sell for
5000. The investigation will be re-
sumed by Coroner Thompson to-
morrow.
Elston Brewer was employed in
The Journal office for several
months at different times during
the past two or three years, and
was we'll known and had many
friends in Newark. He had been
at work at Newport for several
months and left Newport in gas
oline boat about the tenth of June.
He was the only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Brewer, prominent
and well-to-do people of Cave City,
and was born and reared at Cave
City.

SPECIAL COURSE
FOR FARMERS
Plan For interesting and Profit
able Week of instruction
at State School

The State Agricultural School
at Jonesboro has been for some
time past making arrangements
for the big Farmers Convention
and Short Course in Agriculture
which will be in session at the
State School of Agriculture at JON
esboro July 28 to August 2. The
Board of Trustees promise that
they are sparing neither time nor
expense in their efforts towards
the getting of experts along agri-
culture, animal husbandry, dairy
ing and household economics lines,
to handle the work during this
session.
Many farmers with their sons,
wives and daughters from all over
the Northeastern portion of the
State have signified their intention
of taking advantage of this oppor-
tunity of hearing the interesting
discussions that are promised. In
getting lecturers for this course,
the school has tried to get men
who are conversant with condi-
tons in this section of the south,
as well as men who are scientifi-
cally and practically equipped to
put their respective subjects be-
fore the people in an interesting
and logical manner.
No farmer or housewife can af-
ford to miss this opportunity to
spend a profitable vacation. The
dormitories are open to the short
course students and the charge
for room and board will not ex-
coed one dollar per day per person.
There are no fees. The courses
are free to all and a cordial invita-
ton is extended to every man and
woman interested in farming and
home making problems to attend
this convention, for farmers and
farmers wives.

CROPS LOOK GOOD

The fine rains that fell through

Der of years.
