THE STUTTGART FAIR.

Arrangements are being made for several hundred Pine Bluff people to visit Stuttgart on a special train Thursday to participate in the festivl- ties of Pine Bluff Day at the Stuttgart fair. As many as can do so should make the trip. Stuttgart is one ot Pine Bluffs most wide-awake and prosperous neighbors; it's people are good folks to know There ought to be closer social and business rela- tions between Pine Bluff and Stute, gart, and a trip such as is to be made Thursday is one way of pra- noting the friendship between the two cities and their people. Another thing: An institution such as the Stuttgart fair is to he encouraged. Fairs are big factors in creating bet ter farming conditions and increasln: the value of the farm output. Ba- cause Southeast Arkansas has reach cd the period when it must diyersif', this is an especially propitious time to promote agricultural exhibits and cher movements that will bring about diversification of crops. There fore, encourage the Stuttgart people by visiting their fair.

PRACTICAL TOWN PROMOTION.

The question is often asked, Wha' practical things can be done to ad vertise our town.
 In some places the citizens wear "booster" buttons-except when theT go out of town where Ire a.iveri'sinG might do some good. Campaigns for new industries are very common re- quiring interniinable patience, usual ly fund of mohay. and liberal treat ment as tc taxes an, rent
 Some places take write-ups in trade papers If these periodicals have j real circulation, this may have ,alue. Frequently their circulation Is con ifinued. to the people who buy the write-ups.
 In some places business men unite in printing cuts of loc:. scenes on their correspondence enyslope. IT these cuts are attractive, the pictures tell a helpful story. Other towns prepare a brief statement of tll" ad- vantages of the place and put in on their stationery. If this is we'll writ ten, made up of facts instead of f'ne
 writing. it will also perform i;s mis- sicn. Many places put u2 big sign near the railroad station. with a own
 slogan. If the heart of the t"wn's
 work cat be concentrated in few
 words. this has it: 'ttect.
 The best way to advertise town lis by a general purpose on the part of it's citizens to spread its good name and reputation on all possible occasions. Some people take every
 occasion to disparage and run dowr the home place. They think it shows discriminating judgment to speak in this slighting way. In other places, citizens arc no lashamed. to tell of the advantages Fthdy have at home. They commend lis schools, churches, social life anf Business push. They send away pro grams of interesting events, picture! l of attractive scenes, newspapers con taining reports of notable events. Where town has that spirit, | soon acquires widespread reputa ltion. It simply can't help growing.

CARELESS LAW-MAKING.

The state and national legislatures, Senator Root told the American Bar association the past week, passed 62.- 014 laws during the past five years. MT. Root made a plea for more care full work drafting laws, and for less Of what he called sloppy legislation
 A few years ago, certain United States senator was overheard talk ing with great vehemence. "When the people rise in their might and d > mand a law of this kind" he remark ed, concerning the agitation for a certain statute, "it is useless to CD rose them" as
 But what will such a law amount to:s inquired a by-stander.
 Nothing whatever" replied the senator. "The people will then turn their attention to something else, and forget all about it.
 Many laws are so carelessly drawn that there Is lawsuit in every sentence, due to indefiniteness. The man who wrote them could not get 3 job as newspaper reporter, until he had learned to wrile with more pr'.- cision. If the people who draft laws could realize it, any kind of writing seems far more lucid if the sentence are made short. Lawyers minds may

Acts of the Apostles.

CHAPTER ,. ] But a certain man named Ananfas, with Sapphira his wife, sold a posses sion, | 2. And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and Drought certain part, and laid it at the apostles feet
 g. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4. Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was lit not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all that heard these things.
 6. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
 7. And it was about the space of three hours, when his wife, not know ing what was done, came in.
 8. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
 9. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
 10. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
 II. And great fear came upon al. the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
 12. And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and won ders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solo, mons porch.
 13. And of the rest durst no man. join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
 IA. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
 15. Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
 16. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Je- rusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were veXed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
 IT. Then fhes high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filed with indignation, IS. And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. & 19. But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, 7 20. Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
 21. And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were l with him, and called the council to- gether, and all the senate of the child ren of Israel, and sent to the prison to

have them brought.
 22. But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,
 23. Saying, The prison truly found We shut with all safety, and the keep CTS without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
 24. Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
 25. Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
 26. Then went the captaain with the officers, and brought them with out violence: for they feared the peo- pie, lest they should have been stoned.
 27. And when they had brought them. they set them before the coun- cil: and the high priest asked them,
 2S. Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this mans blood upon us.
 29. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
 30. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on tree.
 31. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be Prince and Saw ious, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
 32. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
 33. When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took coun- sel to slay them.
 24 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamailel, among all the people, and command ed to put the apostles fort ha little space;
 35. And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
 36. For before these days rose up Thaddeus, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined them selves: who was slain, and all as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
 37. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished: and all, even sas many as obeyed him.. were d1s- persed.
 3S. And now l say unto you, Re. frain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
 39. But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
 40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles. and beaten them. they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
 A. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suf- fer shame for his name.
 AZ. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
