SPECIAL DAYS AT
 BIG TRi-STATE FAIR
Most Every Day Our People Go to the Tri-State Fair at Mem phis They Will Find Plenty of Folks from Home.

While the management Of the Tri-State Fair at Memphis, Sep tember 26 to October 3, has made no efforts to have a homecoming celebration, they have arranged for a number of special days in order that out-of-town visitors may ex- pect to meet friends and relatives from other cities and from other counties.
 In fact, most any day you go to this big fair and exposition there will be somebody from home, and, of course, that is going to be the most enjoyable thing of all, for, after you have taken in the sights, you can join those from home and have a quiet chat in the shade or in the grand stand.
 Going to a big fair where nobody but strangers meet you is all right, but deep down in your hearts, it s the home people you care most for, and it will be those you will like most to be with.
 Beginning Tuesday of the fair, special efforts will be made to take care of those from Humboldt, and, if reports bear fruit, Humboldt is going there strong, all travelling on special train.
 Wednesday will be Arkansas Day, and towns have promised to send big crowds. Dyersburg Day will also be Wednesday.
 Other days will be devoted to towns in Memphis territory, so get ready to go to the fair, take your dinners, spread it on the rich lawns and have good times with your neighbors. Take the children, your cousins and aunts, the grandmoth- CTS and grandfathers; let them see once more a gathering of people l they knew years ago. Let them talk 1 with those whom they knew as chil- dren. Let you yourself become a boy and girl again and buy your self rubber balloon, whistle and go have your fortunes told. l Let's all take in this fair this year, for, while 1t is in Memphis, we feel like it Is our fair, because, after all, we have helped to build t up, and we are going to help uake ' greater. -

The bearish gov ernment cotton report also had a depressing influence, particu- larly on holders of seed and crude oil. which suddenly came out on the market in heavy volume.

The Army Worms Play
 Havoc With Cotton

Never in the history of this section have the cotton fields been so quickly and seriously damaged as has been damage of the past week. A beautiful crop prospect two weeks ago has been replaced by field after field of bare stalks. The Army worm has and is doing the work.
 They have made clean sweep of practically every field in the northern part of the county and
 reports show that they are general over the Cotton Belt.
 Conservative cotton growers claim that the damage sustained from the worms will amount to fully one third of the eaten crop.

FOX HOUND RACE
Will Be a Big Feature at
 Tri.State Fair.
Hounds Will Start Opposite Grand
 Stand and Continue Around the Old Race Course, Finishing Under Wire at Starting Point.

A feature of considerable con- sequence at the Memphis Tri- State Fair, from September 26 to October 3, will be a fox hound race. Several experienced hounds have been entered and will make the mile distance over the race course without being forced to chase a fox.
 The only thing to guide them will be their masters horns. Men will be stationed at various points around the track and blow blasts from the regular fox hunting horns, and this will spur the dogs on in their chase until the wire is reached at the starting point.
 All hounds are experienced. They have been trained for this race and it is expected to be one of the most exciting events of the fair meeting.
 President A. L. Parker, of the Tri-State Fair association, says so far as he knows, it is the first race of it's kind sker planned, and he believes ekefy dog will strive to make it al Realistic as possible by endeavoring to reach the wir( first.
 Hundreds of people can recal fox hunting days of yesteryears While the sport is still in exis tence, it has long since been abol ished in many parts of the coun try, and thousands of young peo pie are living today who have never witnessed real fox hounds at work.
 The fair association in staging a fox hound race believe it will be as much of an educational fea ture as one devoted to pleasure and they propose to make 1t . leading event at the fair by hay ing such races every afternoon.
 Leading hounds from Tennesset and Mississippi kennels will bt found in competition at the fair Anyone owning a first class hound can enter provided it.is attended to at once. If you or your neigh bors own one enter him witf Frank D. Fuller, Secretary of tht Fair.

Value of Fruit Aclde.

It is thought that Acia fruits induce rheumatism. The contrary Is true. Fruit acids taken into the system by a person. who has rheumatism act benefcially. and actually have the ef- feet of increasing the alkalinity of the blood. Experiments have proved this conclusively. Thus a percon who has too much uric acid in the blood should for a time eat fruit or acid fruit juices in large quantities.

 Two years ago in Brinkley, the majority in the End ward for license was sufficiently large to make the city go wet" and hence the fights that later en- sued on the granting of license in Brinkley.

NO FAIR THIS YEAR.

At the solicitation of many
people interested in the Henry
County Fair Association, also of
several of the Directors of the
Fair Association, President J.
W. Tyson called a meeting of the
directors to discuss and consider
the proposition whether or not
it would be wise, on account of
the continued drouth which this
section has suffered, the bad
crops and stringent financial con.
dition now prevailing, to attempt
to hold the fair this year. At
this meeting no definite action
was taken, and after consider
able discussion, participated in
by every member of the board,
it was decided that the question
of a fair or no fair" be left to
a decision of the stockholders.
A meeting of the stockholders
was therefore called for August
9Th. At that meeting, there not
being a quorum present, the
matter was informally discussed,
and the unanimous opinion there
expressed was that it would not
be wise to attempt to hold the
meeting this year, and many
proxies were held from different
sections of the county, all in
structed to vote mo fair" AT
ter this expression from the
stockholders, the directors met
and confirmed the action of the
stockholders, and the unanimous
vote was that no fair be held
this year.
Whatever success the Fair has
had heretofore is attributable to
the friends of the Association,
who, as officers, superintendent
of various departments. and ex.
| hibitors, have contributed theil
time and services to give Henry
county as good a fair as any ir
the state. To the people of the
county and surrounding sections
who have attended the meetings
in the fall, the Association wish
es to extend its thanks. These
are the people who have made i
; possible to hold the fair for si1
consecutive years, and but fo
the drouth and other condition.
over which no one had any con
troll, the fair would have beef
held this year as usual.
The reason that led the officer
4 to have no fair this year is tn
) bad condition of crops and tn
e financial situation over the coun
; try, and fearing that the de
q crease in the attendance woul
be so material that the Associs
