When the Lyceum Theatre reopens
tomorrow evening for its spring and
summer season it will be with the ilrst
public presentation of Lady Macken-
zies big game hunting pictures with
which she has just returned from East
Africa. after a years thrilling expert
ence in the Jungle. Lady Mackenzie,
who is known among the big game
hunters of this country and Europe as
"thc foremost woman hunter Of the
world" succeeded i'm bagCinc specimens
Of every known animal in thar part Of
Africa. not only with her rife, but with
the moving picture camera as well.
Although highly educational, the
pictures are more than that, in that
they show the bravery of this modern
Diana in a most exciting lion hunt, in
which the great ding of beasts charges
straight at Lady Mackenzie and her
man hunter, and the only rhinoceros
charge ever filmed. The huntress has
also some remarkable views OF herds
Of buffalo and zebra, of elephants,
giraffes and balloons, Of wild dogs and
other rare fauna of the country.
This premiere should be interesting
in many ways because OF the atten-
dance OF society and of sportsmen of
prominence.

 Ia view of this, MT. Gaughan has called such meeting to be held 1T Camden at 10 o'clock a. rn.. Mon. day, November 29. The delegates appointed from Huttig are F. w. Scott and L. A. Bodine and the alternates c. T. Thompson and C.. A. Berry.
 Whether or not the necessary of the Ouachita fiv- CT are completed depends entirely upon the interest which the people who are effected most manifest in this important organization and we hope it will be sufficient to bring about the desired end and that the Ouachita river will be nayiga5le to Camden the year round.

To Teachers, Patrons and Pupils.

The Fourth Annual School Fair and Contest for Union county will be held in Fl Dorado on Friday and Saturday, November 26 and 2Z, 1915.
 A large number of entries have already been made and we feel the success of the fair is already assured but as we have expect ed to make this by far the best fair we have had, we are taking this method of again urging every teacher and school to make entries for each contest. An increased number of prizes are offered this year and it is our sincere hope that teachers and patrons of every school in the county will permit pupils to enter the contests, as we know that pupils in every school are ambitious to win prizes and certainly they can lose nothing by entering the various contests of this fair
 If they lose the prize they will be greatly benefited by the effort put forth and it will help to stmu- late greater interest in future con- tests.
 Miss Arthur from the University of Arkansas will be in charge of the domestic science demonstra- tion at the court house.
 This communication together with another list of premiums and entry blanks is being mailed to all teachers with request that entry blanks be filled out by the 2Oth and returned at once.

No cases of pellagra devei- oped in camp excepting among those men who were on the re- strieted diet.
