Jackson County's First Annu- al Fair holds every promise of an immense success. The start was magnificent and beyond all expectations, considering the drouth year and the financial sit uation as the result of the wars effect on the cotton market in the sixth cotton producing coun- ty of Arkansas.
 When the gates. swung open Wednesday morning there was already considerable crowd gathered, embracing largely people who were there to enter exhibits in the various depart ments. The interest aroused in this friendly competition for honors and awards proved that 8 county fair serves well it's purpose in the promotion of grades in stock, agriculture, horticulture and the domestic arts and will be of great benefit to Jackson County.
 The famous Wynne band, the best in the state with Joe Reita- no as director and embracing fourteen pieces arrived on No. 24 Wednesday and will render the excellent music of which this organization is capable through out the four days.
 The Blanche Mckinney high school horses, a fine lot of highly trained animals, with their own CTS and equipment of chariots etc. arrived the first of the week and the performances of these wonderful horses will be seen every afternoon at the fair, be- ing a free act staged on the race course.
 Official Starter for the races G. P. Updegraff of Helena, an experienced and capable man was on the ground early arrang- ing his books for the various races. He declares that our first annual fair has drawn the best and largest entries for the races of any of the county fairs in the state for the present fall.
 The track was a bit rough, but harrows, roller and dray are be- | ing used to put the speedway II the very best of condition. It iS 2 little moist in few places, but the weather man promises to bt good and gracious and fair wea : ther is his bill for tomorrow, anf we hope for the entire week.
 Captain J. T. Henderson has charge of the live stock exhibits for the show rings and the sta bles are already crowded to theil capacity with horses from al parts of the state and even iron border states. Some of th' grooms and jockeys had quar ters in the barns, but these have Nll been forced to take tented quarters to make room for th' racing horses.

 Wash Nicholson of Swifton has entered a handsome Guern- sey specimen and Forrest Bleak ley and John Loftin, Jr., are competitors for ribbons and prizes in several good Durhams. MT. Bleakley also has some splen- did mule colts that ought to pull down a prize.
 In the floral hall west of the amphitheatre, Mrs. w. A. Bill kingsley has charge of the Wo- mans department and David Thiebault, county demonstrator of the agricultural and horticul- tural products on exhibit. The entries in every line are sur- prisingly large and the building is inadequate for the display, such is the interest and competi- tion.
 Mrs. John Stayton, assisted by Mrs. R. B. Hooker, is direct ing the large display of hand work which occupies the booth to the right as you enter. .eMiss Bessie Watson, in charge of the ICurio department, has received I3O to 40 specimens of old coins, stamps, papers and other curios, all very interesting.
 Mrs. c. A. Hillhouse in the next booth on the right, is look ing after culinary exhibits and here tempting breads, cakes, canned goods and other appetiz- ling entries have been made. Mrs. J. w. Grubbs assisted by Mrs. H. c. Sanders in the next booth, has adorned the walls with works of art, the product of home talent, there being near l ly 100 entries in this depart ment.
 Handsome ferns, palms and potted plants adorn the center of the hail, while first upon the left in entering, Uncle Sam has a parcel post booth, to show the farmer how all sorts of produce such as eggs, vegetables etc. can be shipped, as well as what arti- cles may be received by parcels post. Cary Davidson has charge of this exhibit, which is decorat- ed in the national colors.
 Next in line is the agricultural exhibit with David Thiebalt in charge, assisted by James H. Johnston. This display is excep- tional for the year and embraces very fine specimens of apples corn, sweet potatoes, cotton pumpkins, everything in fact.
 Mrs. Ferdinand Tonney has the direction of the Girls Can ming Club exhibits and one dis play of vegetables and fruits made by a fourteen year old girl Mis- Gladys Dukes of Swifton, is well worth a visit to show what one Jackson County girl has done and what others can do.
 The poultry exhibits were late in arriving and are being housed
 beneath the grand stand, Clyde Wood being in charge. Some
