UNION CHAPEL.

The excessive rains and windstorms
have caused the farmers much concern
as to the crops for next season, while the
tomato and canteloupe crop for this year
has been seriously injured. The newly
set strawberry fields are rapidly getting
overgrown with grass, which will smother
out the plants and thereby destroy the
possibility of crop of berries next sum
mer. In farming, it's just one burned
thing after another to make trouble.
There is nothing to write cheerfullv
about; we've got the blues.
John Gray is sick with bad cold.
Howard Corson and daughter, of Phil
adelphia, have returned home.

A CARD FROM MIR. BAKER.

Mrs Ruth Veasey, " as she signed
when making report to the Superinten-
dent of the NJ D. d " Railroad Com
pany that the agent at Ellendale, Il. T.
Baker was dumping butter bean hulls
on the right-of-way of that road, was
presumably giving ease to her puffed-up
feelings, of which she shown evidence
for the last two years towards the Baker
family, which was brought on by mis-
taken suspicion of hers This should be
a warning enough to them if they are
half intelligent to realize if she is dis
posed to catch at such small and without
provocation they would stand a very mar
row chance if there was an opportunity
of doing them. Malice or hatred in the
heart is dreadful at the best, and those
haunted should try to stay awake as much
as possible, or drowsyness might be
costly. I. T. BAKER,

MoNTGoMERY ELECTION COM MISSION CANVASS COUNTY
 SEAT VOTE.
l,O65 VOTES FOR REMOVAL
It ls Contended By Mount Ida That the 181 Voters in the Two Town ships of Fir and laverna Should
 Be Counted Against Womble.
Wounble.


 The county election commissioners met and canvassed the vote on county seat removal, and the result was l. 065 votes for Womble and for removal No elections were held in Laverna and Fir townships, where 181 votes reside. In the 22 townships where elections were held there is a total of POST voters, including those who have died or removed since they paid poll tax. Hence Womble again carried the election in the townships where elec- tions were held.
 Because there is total of 2,26S voters on the list, it is the contention of Mount Ida that Womble lost, be- cause the law says that change and the candidate town must get major ity of the votes resigtered on the list, notwithstanding considerable num- Der of those may be dead or removed from the county; and it is also con- tended by Mount Ida that the 181 voters in the two townships of Fir and Laverna should all be counted as against removal.
 The commissioners contented them selves with canvassing the votes as laid before them, announced the to- tals and adjourned.

Plans for a state fair for 1917 and

Plans for state fair for 1917 and the place of the Pulaski county fair in Little Rock, were made at meet ing at the Hotel Marion. Fifty bank CTS, merchants and other business men, including officers and directors of the Pulaski County Fair Associa- tion. attended.
 The meeting was called by com mittee of directors of the County Fair Association appointed a few weeks ago by County Judge Joe Asher, president of the county asso- citation, to ascertain the feasibility of a state fair in Little Rock.
 The committees report included data secured from the Texas, Oklano- ma and Louisiana State Fair Asso- ciations. The reports said that the fairs at Dallas, Oklahoma City and Shreveport are more than self-sustaln- ing. However, they are conducted on a larger scale than would be the pro- posed Arkansas state fair for a few years at least
 All the speakers agreed that there is not sufficient time to prepare for state fair in 1916, but favored the proposed state fair and recommend ed that preparations begin immediate ly for the 1917 state fair. The chair man was authorized to appoint com mittee of 15 to begin this work and a1c to rlo 1Q1e foir
 The fair proposed for next year would be larger than the county fair. The committee to be appointed by MT. Auten also will seek to liquidate the indebtedness of the County Fair As sociation, probably by securing sup scriptions from Little Rock and Pu- laski county business men.
