ABSTRACT FIRM BUYS
 PLACE OF BUSINESS
NEW COMPANY PURCHASES HOUSE ON WEST SIDE FROM
 JOHN LONG.

The Faulkner County Abstract & Guaranty Go. today purchased from John Long the business house adjoin- ing the Log Cabin Democrat office, at
 present occupied by G. w. Shelton's grocery, the consideration being $2,-
 900, and in this building the company plans to open their permanent office in about a year. The building will be
 remodeled and a large fireproof vault installed in which their records will
 be stored.
 The company, which is composed of Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartje and Deputy
 G. s. McHenry, was organized about two years ago, but has only recently
 actively entered upon the work of mak- ing abstracts. The time since organ ization has been devoted to the long and tedious task of making up the ab- stract books, copying from hundreds | of records in not only Faulkner coun- ] ty, but in Pulaski and Conway coun- ties, to which the territory of Faulk- ner formerly belonged. This work is
 now completed and the company is
 ready for business. Until the expira-
 tion of MT. Hartje's term as circuit clerk, the company's offices will be
 maintained at the courthouse office,
 after which they will remove to the business house just purchased.
 There is probably no man in the county so familiar with the real -es- Itate1 and court records of Faulkner
 county as MT. Hartje. His assistant clerk, MT. McHenry, has been making at close study of this work for two years. It goes without saying that abstracts furnished by this firm will be correct in every detail and their customers will have good reason to perfect confidence in their work.

THE ARKWAY.

Caesar Schulz and Si Perkins are rival inn-keepers. They play all sorts of tricks on each other. to get the trade. Si gets party of tourists at his place. The enraged MT. Schulz determines to get even. Taking box of eggs, to which his wife objects, for obvious reasons, de deposits them in Perkins we'll. Si has been boastihg q the good qualities of the water at his place, therefore, he is not little abashed when a small girl tastes of the water and turns up her nose. The guests prepare to leave for the Schulz hotel, when one of the party tastes of the water and gives his opinion that it contains valuable mineral proper ties. The party remains with Schulz, much to the disgust of Perkins.
 Two other reels will be shown at the Arkway tonight.

FIREWORKS TO BE ! MAMMOTH DISPLAY
AT FIFTH ANNUAL FAIR
THE MERRY WIDOW FAN," A MOST BEWILDERING SCENE,
 FEATURE OF PROGRAM.

Among the free attractions at the Faulkner county fair, which will be held here October 7 to 10, inclusive, will be grand display of fireworks. Every night, the Newton Fireworks Go. of Chicago, one of the largest fireworks companies in the world, will have special representative here to entertain the large crowds with the most beautiful display of fireworks ever seen in this state
 The program, as arranged by the fireworks company, will be as follows: Tuesday night, "The Pyrotechnical Cherry Tree,' showing the brilliant foliage sparkling with silvery dew and the richly colored fruit, finishing with golden showers and burstir g globules.
 Wednesday night, "The Kohinor Diamond" will be special feature. It shows very beautiful new set piece, diamond-shaped, revolving rapidly, pouring torrent of dazzling light, al- most binding to the eye. This scene will be 20 feet high by 30 feet wide.
 Thursday night, Fence of Lilac Bushes" will be featured. This shows a beautiful hedge of bushes in bloom. The hedge is 100 feet long, and is en- tirely new this season and very at tractive.
 Friday night-which is the last night of the fair, the most beautiful display of the entire fair will be seen, 1.-The Merry Widow Fan," which will be featured on this night, first ap- pears in closed upright position, showing beautiful jeweled sides, then slowly opening, spreading to its full size, discloses to view a gorgeous be- wildering fan with feathery scintil- lating fires, showering sparkling dia- mond dust in every direction. The size of this attraction in action is some 40 feet.
 Aerial flash and sound signals will be used to announce the commencement of the fireworks displays. These ex- plode high in the air with tremendous reports and vivid flash lights, filling the heavens with emblematic colors. Niagara Falls," 50 feet in length, will be special feature on the last night. This beautiful display shows one solid sheet of aluminium fire which has the appearance of glittering wat CT and the sound of the mighty cata- ract itself. The molten fire reaching to the ground, rebounds with a splash of silvery mist, creating an effect most realistic and inspiring, that will ever be remembered.

RYE A SURE CROP.
Excellent for Pasturage and Adds
Hun1us TO the Soil.

National Crop Improvement Service
Rye will stand cold weather much
better than oats and furnish grazing
for a longer period.
Rye is a sure crop. 1t is a good plan
to drill rye in the corn field with a one
horse drill. Sufficient light wifi pene-
trate through the corn to encourage
growth, until the corn Is cut, thus
leaving the field open to the coming
crop. Farmers viii find this an ex-
cellent method to practice to insure
pasturage when It Is most needed.
After 1t has been pastured in the fall,
It may furnish early spring pasturage,
or it may be turned under for fertilizer.
Rye is valuable for adding humus to
the soil
