TAKEN BACK
 TO SPRINGFIELD

A detective from the Speer Agency in Springfield went to Fayetteville Tuesday morning to return H. Clay Moore, held in jail there, to Spring field, where he is wanted on a charge of stealing a horse and bug gy, and other crimes. Moore was arrested here several days ago by City Marshal Avis, and was sent to Fayetteville for safe keeping until the arrival of requisition papers from Governor Hays. The papers have not arrived, but Moore waived right of requisition. and offered to re- turn to Springfield.
 After being placed in jail here for several hours, Moore made state ment before Justice of the Peace Reed, and Marshal Avis, in which he stated that he did not steal the horse and buggy. but that they were stolen by his cousin Harry Moore, who is his double in most every way. the only exception. even to height, weight and look. being a small scar over the left eye, and ten pounds heavier. The prisoner stated that the horse and buggy was turned over to him at Joplin, Mo. He further stated that his cousin, Harry, was now making his way through the country. travelling with a Gypsy wag- on, and at the time he was arrested was in the vicinity of Rogers Clay Moore stated that he was drunk when the horse and buggy was turned oN CT to him, but they made him agree not to trade or give the horse away. Clay stated that Harry had a com mission signed by some officer or mayor. Clay also connects other par ties with the passing of the bad checks in Springfield, and the steal ing of the horse and buggy. the names of whom are net as yet made public by the authorities.
 The woman who was travelling with Moore at the time he was arrested here. has left for parts unknown, and t',e small boy is now in the hands of local people who are caring for him

PEACH GROWERS
 HOLD MEETING

The annual meeting of the Peach Growers Exchange was held at the mayors office Tuesday, and the fol lowing directors were elected for the coming year: E. B. Cummings, L. Marks, J. NJ. Sparkman, E. A. Gillett and l.. Powell The newly elected directors then held a meeting, and elected E. B. Cummings as President, l.. Marks, vice-president, F. c. Robb, was reelected secretary, and ". H. Searcy, treasurer.
 form of contract to be signed by each grower ordering packages was drawn up, and the Secretary instruct ed to have each grower present sign contract for packages with sufficient guarantee of payment of same.
 After full discussion it #as de- cided that the Exchange would han dle no No peaches this year.
 It was also voted that the Exchange stamp and name of the grower should be placed on each package. The total acreage was ask ed for and each grower gave num- Der of acres bearing peaches. Not all the growers were able to give the exact number of acres Tuesday, but il has been estimated that there are some 800 acres under the direction of the Springdale Exchange.
 Every effort is being made to grow and handle a grade of peaches ev- er superior to those which have al ready given Springdale reputation, of which all are justly proud.
 After full discussion of the import ant subjects of thinning, spraying and eultivating by D. E. Richer, show ed in very clear. concise way, the necessity of such measures, the meet ing adjourned.
 Many growers were in attendance at the meeting Tuesday. With meet ing of the stockholders at ten o'clock and a meeting of all interested at o'clock in the afternoon. Tuesday might be readily termed a tpeach" day in springdale.- Strawberries were forgotten for moment, as it were, by the growers while they lent their time and attention toward the proper handling of the peach crop that is rapidly rounding into shape in the Springdale Fruit Dis trict.

STRAWBERRIES
 ARE MOVING

Straw berries are moving, the first fruit this year is of excellent quality the berries are large, firm and of an extra good color. and while picking $ somewhat slow this week, next week will see the strawberry move ment in full blast.
 The Springdale Berry Growers As. sociation and the Shippers Union join ed together and got out the frs car Monday AS crates, 224 from each organization made up the ear which was sold on the track here to Headington X Hedenbergh, Sioux City Iowa, at B per crate This is considered a good price for the first berries, as Van Buren berries have been on the market for the past sey- eral days.
 Berries on the local market are selling at 10 cents per quart. Tues day the picking was very light, the two shipping organizations not get ting anything like their second car. One reason for this may be taken from the fact that large number of 'he berry growers are also peach growers, and all were here attend ing the peach meeting
 The weather is all that could be expected, warm sun allowing the berries to ripen rapidly. Very little report of further depreciation by the stra wberry weeyil has been received, and it seems that the work of the pest was confined to two or three beds
 Two cars vert out Wednesday, being the holdover from both ship ping organizations for Thursday, and Wednesdays picking.

ANNUAL SCHOOL
 VOTE SATURDAY

The annual school election will be held throughout the state Saturday, and in Springdale district the cleo ton will be held as usual at the Grammar School building.
 The terms of two directors, E. B. Cummings and L. Marks expire this year, and others are to be selected for their place. While neither Of these competent gentlemen are to be called candidates, both their names are printed on the ballots, together with two blank lines for any other parties who may desire to make the race
 Another question to be voted on a this election is the question of Goun- y Superintendency. This question was voted down last year. but it is to be hoped that such will not be the case this time. There seems to be no question but what County Superin- tendency is the proper thing for thf schools of Arkansas; is used by other states throughout the south and north, and is a means of getting q closer relationship between the schools of the county.
 Under the county superintendeney a person is chosen for the position, and they have supervision, as the name indicates of all schools of the county. making visits to each school noting the progress of same, and make plans for the betterment of the schools. They are elected by the people in most counties, where the County Superintendency is in vogue, and in every instans thoroughly competent school man is selected fer the place.
 The question of voting seven mill tax will be again placed before the voters. and it is no question but what the full limit will be voted. 1t is to be hoped that large vote will b. cast.
