 The displays are better each year and more enter each contest. The mothers and those interested in the schools donate more liberally Of good things to eat, the men buy more gen erously of the good things. The fu- -ure of the School Fair looks very bright
 The receipts were about one hum dred and thirty dollars. It is not known just what is profit, bat Ne greatly fear it will net reach the hun dred dollar mark.
 We, as an association, want to thank every one who helped in any way. The fact that you came to the hall meant much to us and most of you did that.
 The managers of the Majestic de serve special thanks for their kind ness and liberal donation. So do all the business men who gave prizes in the different contests.
 The fair is a big undertaking. It means work many days before and several days after to a certain few, but everybody was kind and generous and our school fund is greatly in- creased
 We hope that everything is set tied and everybody satisfied. If you know of anything not satisfactory, please notify the President and we will see what can be done.

Hospital Loses s13e. 900.

The State Hospital items were cut $13S.00o, and the University of Arkan. sas s73, ,500. Other institutions suf- fered less. The Branch Normal School, negro institution at Pine Bluff, lost $37,0oo of the s4S,1o0 ap- propriated for it, which will mean that the proposed plan to erect new buildings and change the location Of the school probably will fail. Gov ernor Hays said he had been inform ed by the school authorities that the school has approximately s25 900 cash on hand. and that the cut he had made would not seriously cripple the institution

 Agsie Schools Suffer.
 The district agricultural schools suffered most, and in the minds of many it is doubtful if they will sur vive the blow. The items of $40,000 for salaries for each school was stricken out, making a total cut of $l60, 0,000 on the appropriation Of $340,- 900 for the four schools
 Governor Hays said last night he had no intention of killing the agri- cultural schools, and that he be- lieved the item of s45,0o0 for the general expense of each school would be sufficient to pay salaries and maintain the schools. The word sal aries is not mentioned in the list of uses for which the fund may be used, but Governor Hays says he believes the phrase "and for other purposes will cover the salaries and that sal ary warrants may be issued on the general maintenance fund of each school
