important Schooi announcement.
 September 26 has been designated by the North Arkansas Fair as school day.
 It is desired to have as many of the schools of the county as will do so, to attend the Fair as schools on that day. That Is that each school shall come in body in charge of the teacher, and march under banner bearing the name and motto of the school.
 It is expected that all these sch ools will form in line and march by the grand stand. While marching they will sing two songs, America" and My Happy, Little Home in Arkansas. "
 All school children going in body with their teacher will be given free admission.
 The railroad will furnish a special train from some point south of Green Forest and special coaches will be furnished to be loaded only with school children. As many coaches as may be needed will be placed at the depot here, in order that the pupils with their teachers may be aboard when the train arrives. The round trip ticket from Green Forest will be 60 cents, half fare tickets 30 cents.

 There is about 5000 school children in this county and at least 1000 of them ought to be in this parade. Let the teachers, directors and parents see to it that they are there. It will be the happiest and most profitable day the children ever spent. If I can help any country school in any way, will be glad to do so.

 Nearly every school in the county has one or more good runners and jumpers. Let them enter this contest and show what they can do.
 Now word to the patrons of the Green Forest school. We have nearly 300 pupils in school and we want every one of them to go. There are two cogent reasons why every one should go. First, our school will have to stand up by the other schools of the county and we should have civic pride enough to make the best show possible But second and a stronger reason is the pleasure and benefit to your child. It will be day filled to overfowing with pleasure and instruction to him. We have many very small children. Let not their parents hesitate to let them go, their teachers and I will take special care of them from the time we leave the school house until we get back. Besides, as many parents as wish to do so, can go on the same train and can have them with them after the parade. Those whose parents do not go, will be kept together. Let all the little folks go.
 The Green Forest school has entered 1 for every event.
