EASTER SERVICES
AT DALLAS CHURCHES
Our Citizens attend Easter Services,
The Churches Having Special Pro-
grams for the Day.

Dallas Joined with the world cele-
bration Of Easter and the local
churches were well filed, and with
marked attention listened to the joy
ous story of "The Risen King. F"
The observance were elaborate with
song and sermon, it was on scale
never surpassed in this city, as shown
by the program rendered at the diff
ferent churches. The gladstone story
of "Christ has Arisen" was told
amid the splendor Of beautiful dec
orations with the lilly predominating,
interviewer with the lovely fern, maxi
ing indeed floral setting well be-
fitting the day, and adding greatly
to the joyful feeling of the large
congregation present. The stranger
far from home who attended one of
the churches at the morning services
went away feeling in his heart that
God still ruled and was truly King
of hosts. The program at the Meth
odist and the Presbyterian churches
as published in last Fridays Observ-
er we're indeed pleasing ones and the
singers that took part added greatly
to the sacred observance of the day.
AT the Christian Church Sunday even
ing the program was in charge Of the
young people and to say that the
large congregation enjoyed the part
taken by the children would be put
ting it mild. The recitation by Will
lard Brown, the duett by the Rem
ington sisters and the one by the
Smith sisters were indeed creditable.
The juvenile class Of over 25 little
tots from the age Of 2 to years re-
citing the Lords prayer in unison,
and the boys Of the primary class in
their song were very pleasing NUM-
bers. The members of this church
who had the training of these young
minds deserve credit for their faith
full work as shown by results.

NEW DIRECTORS ELECTED LAST NIGHT TO ADD NEW ENTHU-
 SlAsM TO ORGANIZATION
EXPECT STATE AID LATER
Officers Will Not Be Elected Until Some Subsequent Meeting, After Public Expression Has Been Made as to What Is Wanted in Matter.

Thirty-four stockholders Of the Ar kansas state fair last night express ed the sentiment that this state in- stitutiOn could not under any condi- ions be given up now, Tn that Hot Springs had lost many other things, and took a positive and emphatic stand for another state fair. Four presented logical arguments why the fair was not essential to the success of :he state, and one shareholder of fered an opinion novel in it's nature, that Hot Springs postpone one state fair and wait and see if the state of Arkansas, through It's legislature wants the institution continued suffi- ciently sincerely 10 contribute some help.
 New directors were elected and there will be many new faces on the board ill the following: s. E. Dillon W. o. Creason, Jesse Murphy, E. F. Klein, pr. Holland, c. N. Rix, J. C. Rush, Jack Frisby Hiram Whiting ton, F. H. Bancroft, w. w. Little, William Borman, Tom J. Petit II. A. Westcott, Waynne Moore, Hamp Williams, Sam Williamson, D. Bur gaurer, Dr. E. H. Ellsworth, Al Key holds, R c. Morris. l.. D. Cooper, simon Cooper, James A. Smith, Frank T. Moody E. T. Housley, R. A. Jones' w. W. Waters, John Rigsbee, Gilbert Hogaboom and Lucian Ramseur
 The matter Of electing officers was left over to some subsequent meet ing, when a more wide expression will probably have been given as to whether the whole of the people want a state fair continued in this city.
 The financial statement of the of ficers showed thas the last state fair cost the city about $1l000, and of this deficit all has been paid in sub scriptions and through other means. There is a very small sum left in the bank and there is interest due on some notes amounting to about $250.
 IA very pleasing part or the meet- ing was that g. E. Dillon, general manager of the Hot Springs public utilities. though he was out of town and could not be present, sent a com munication stating the street railway company would give s1,00O to the next state fair.
