RECORD ATTENDANCE
 Al WHITE COUNTY FAIR
CROWD ESTIMATED AT 5000 TO 6,000 VISITS SEARCY FAIR
 THURSDAY.

Thursday, October 1, 1914, bears the distinction of being the largest day in the history of the White Coun- ty Fair Association in point of at tendance, interest and racing exhibi- tion.
 Early this morning crowds of wis itors from every quarter of White county, together with hundreds from adjoining counties, began pouring in- to the city, and throughout the entire day have held full sway at the spa cious grounds enjoying the midway attractions, viewing the large and va ried exhibits and watching one of the fastest racing programs of the four days.
 A feature of today was the attend ance in body of 200 young ladies from Galloway College in the after noon Also the parade of 50 young ladies from the Scare yhigh school, who appeared in especially designed uniforms representing various busi- ness firms of the city. These young ladies marched twice before the grand stand and lustily rendered their school yell as members of the s. H. s. bas- ketball team, ehciting unstinted ap- plause from the thousands of visitors.
 Today not less than 5000 people at tended the fair exercises, while other estimates place the attendance at more than 6,000. The large grand stand of 210 feet was barely adequate to care for the overfowing crowds All of the concessions and attractions of the Loos exposition shows report excellent business and express a de- sire to return to the White county fair next year,-Searcy Citizen, Octo- Der 1.

 ROAD DISTRICT
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 This weeks paper to hand. I have read carefully all you have published from time to time regarding the state highway, and also all I have found in the Twice Week Gazette of Little Rock respecting this highway and the two other proposed roads, Conway to Quitman and Conway to Vilonia, but l have failed to find any just and equitable reason for the proposed tax ation for the making thereof, and not a word as to the upkeep of the roads when made-quite as necessary to be provided for as the original building and quite as costly.
 First, as to taxation, taking your figures, my taxation will be on 80 acres; For state highway, at ' cents per acre, $5.60; for Conway to Quit man road, at 3 1-2 cents, $290; for Conway to Vilonia road, at 3 1-2. cents, $2.80; total per year for 20 years, $1120, or, in all, SPA.
 My neighbor, half mile north of Pickles Gap, having equally as much benefit as 1 will get, but in the zone of one of the roads only, will be tax ed only 3 1-2 cents per acre or on 80 acres $2S0.
 Please tell me what is just and equitable in this. Many of my neigh bors are affected as I am. We can not stand such taxation. It is too

HOW TO AVOID TYPHOID.

In view of the fact that several

ing typhoid this summer, it is worth
while giving more than ordinary con-

case when II is remembered that ty-
phoid is a filth disease introduced into
the human system by contaminated
water and in food infected with filth
by flies.
Tests made on June 81 of the Beau.

department show that our water sup
ply is safe. The tests show that all
bacilli belonging to the typhoid-colon
group have been removed by filtration
and that the water at this time shows
a normal amount of salt, about one
