 An admission fee of 15 cents for adults and 10 cents for children will be charged. The receipts will be used in helping to defray the expense of the school at the School Contest to be held at Harrison, April F, next.
 Our school has been plucky enough to enter for everyone of the 19 events proposed in that contest, and this en- tails considerable expense. The pupils entering this contest ought not to have to bear this expense. They will reflect honor not only on the school but also upon the town. We therefore expect everyone who has pride in the school or in the town to come out Friday night and give us full house. The entertainment will be first class.
 In this connection, wish to say also that we desire as many of our people as can do so to arrange to go with us to Harrison on the 18th of April
 1t is expected that We will get an excursion train from Eureka Springs for the occasion. This train will take us down early in the morning and bring us back that night after the night con- tests.
 These contests are to be held annual ly and if we show the proper interest in this one, the next one is almost sure to be held here. Then give us a big turnout Friday night, and big crowd to go with us to Harrison,

The writer has been over much of the berry district of North Arkansas, and some of the Southwest Missouri district. We have also watched the reports from the districts and it's evident that the crop will be short, as compared with last season. That the acreage has been reduced in the large growing district is a well known fact and that it is not being set out again, is another fact. Any grower knows that the best soil on which to grow berries is timber land the virgin soil. It seems to contain all the elements in just the right proportions to assist in plant growing and fruit yielding. In some of the districts strawberries have been grown in young orchards, but these trees are now too large to con- tinue berry growing with any hope of success, and without damage to the fruit trees. which need all the strength of the land. Many growers find they have no suitable land upon which to plant new beds and have eXperimented on old land, and had results that were not altogether satisfactory. Another thing, land has advanced in prices where berries has been successfully grown, and where the orchards are ready to bear, until many berry growers in the older districts are being crowded out A man said to us only few days ago, that he had priced land over at one or two of the strawberry and apple growing points, and found. it was out of sight. Our notion of the matter is that just now is the time for the growers to launch out and plant berries. If the crop IS short this season, it is most likely that it will be shorter next season. Short crops most always mean good prices. We have talked with a number of berry men in the districts, men who have watched the market for years, and they see the situation as we see it. On the M.
 6 N. A. we have plenty of good, new land, some of the very best timber land, virgin soil, and OUT judgment is that when this soil comes in contact with muscle that is used intelligently, great crops will be produced and ear loads will be sent out where nothing has been sent out heretofore M. & N.

 Before leaving there 1 promised some of my friends that 1 would give them my impression of thls country after had been here long enough to look the ground over.
 am hardly over the grip" yet and will probably not be able to do justice to the subject. l must say that the country is a great deal better than l had expected to find. The land, is simply fine, mostly black soil with some sandy loam. 1 have been out from town in two different ways dis tance of some three miles and the country looks as fine as any 1 have ever seen in Kansas. l am told that farming land ranges in price from $50 to $60 per acre. This is for raw land. That with some Improvements will cost as high as $75 per acre. One acre -of 1t will produce as much as ten acres in Arkansas.
 The town of Kingsville bears con siderable resemblance to a city. Lots are high, ranging from $200 to $500 for plats of ground 25x140 feet. One must buy at least two of these lots in order to have Q confol table building site. The railroad company has nearly completed tourist hotel here at a cost of $200, 600. The company division shops are here and they run night and day and Sunday.
 Rents are nigh. A furnished room wifi rent for $10 per month while com mon houses rent for SEQ. 1 had to buy man out in order to get a place to live in. We are half camping in an unfinished building until the man can build that 1 bought from. The town is crowded. People are often forced to build in order to get place in which to live.
 There is lots of work going on. l am offered employment at $4.00 per day as soon as 1 am able to work. Joe Reeves is here and is finding plenty to do. He took dinner with us Sunday. Vegetables of all kinds are cheap, the country producing them in great abundances. Fire wood is only $2 50 per cord. We have lots of nice lettuce, onions, cabbage and turnips and every thing looks bright to person arriving from country where no crops are | produced in winter.
 l To any one contemplating coming here l would say that they should have some board money ahead as you might 1 find need for 1t before getting located and finding desirable employment. IL is we'll enough to provide for such ar emergency.
 If l should be fortunate enough tc regain my health l feel that 1 arr located here for the balance of my life. With good wishes to my many i friends and a special good word fol John Bair, l am,

The above constitutes the municipal ticket nominated by the citizens mass meeting called by the Mayor on Thurs day night of last week.
 The above list comprises all of the present officers with the exception of H. c. Shaffer, who is named in place of Will Tate for Recorder and Will Howard for Alderman in the place of Henry LenoX.
 The meeting was well attended and there was never more harmonious gathering of any kind assembled in the town and the first one of this kind at which nobody landed kick. Every body seems perfectly satisfied with the manner in which the affairs of the town have been administered the past year and the feeling was unanimous that the Mayor and old board of Alder men should be retained, but Mir. LenoX being away from town most all the time, it would be impossible for him to act with the new administration.
 A great deal of good has been ac- complished under the present admins tration of town affairs and there is every reason to believe that the good work is to be continued.

Knots and Hours.

Nine persons out of ten will say
that such and such a steamship is
capable of steaming at twenty live
knots per hour" A nautical man would
simply say twenty-five knots" Now.
which is correct? The latter, of course.
The mistake arises from the fact that
the landsman thinks that knot Is
Just the nautical term for ''sea mile"
which is, roughly. $3.50 feet, or about
one and one-eighth land or statute
miles. Now. knot is not distance at
all; 1t Is a speed The word speed
combines distance and time, For in
stance, If we wish to speak of the
speed Of train we refer to it as so
many miles per hour There is no sim
gle word in the language to express
speed limits. so we must use two words
miles and hour.
The sailor has language peculiar to
himself and he has invented a single
word for n unit of speed. Thus speed
of one nautical mile per hour is called
one knot" Hence 1t is redundant to
tack on another per hour" after the
word knot when the word already in
cludes one per hour "-London Tit

must be formally proclaimed.

Rsre Violin Sense.

An amateur yiolinist in town here,
says the Glasgow News. bought I'D
die secondhand for a mere song. Be
ing of opinion that he had made a
deal, he sent 1t to a well known violin
expert who undertakes to give an opin-
ion as TO the value Of instruments,
monetary and otherwise purely for the
love Of it The expert assured him
that there was nothing unusual about
the fiddle and that it was worth about
a couple of pounds That is about
about twelve years ago, and recently
the violin was again sent to the ex-
pert for criticism. The reply was con-
tanned in one eloquent sentence. This
violin has been here before" COnsid-
ering that this gentleman criticises a
very great number of instruments ev-
cry year, and that he guarantees that
violins will not be marked in any way,
this is surely an extraordinary example
Of violin sense"
