North Franklin Wins
 First Prize At Fair

North Franklin won first prize at the Fair at Fort Smith this week, in competition with Vest ern Arkansas and Eastern Okla homa. South Franklin captured the third prize, our neighbor, Crawford county, was awarded the second prize. Crawford ex- pected the first prize, but failed to get the true measure of our resources, and the hustling char acter of our indefatgible county agents, Miss Smith and MT. Mill ing.
 Oklahoma got only one prize = the fourth.
 One of Miss Smiths Canning Club girls had more than 100 cans no two of which were alike.
 Part of the credit for the at tvactive manner in which the ex- hibits were arranged is due Mrs. Garland Williams, who assisted our county agents.
 We should have a fair here early next fall and use the best exhibits to compete at other fairs. Miss Smith and Mir Mill ing have demonstrated what they can do, so let's take advantage of their skill and have the best agricultural exhibit in the state.

sign. The United States soon followed.
Last year most of the toys sold in
American stores we're made in America,
and in addition American toy manufac-
turers recorded exports to the amount
of $4,000, 600
There never was the slightest rea-
son why Germany should have had the
lions share of the toy business. There
never was any satisfactory excuse for
German domination in any line of trade.
German brains are not superior to non
German brains. German efficiency
was superior to any other brand Of eff
ficiency merely because the other ma
lions refused to see in efficiency the
sole desirable human quality. German
brag was bigger than all other brags
because the German, filled with awful
admiration of his own efficiency, really
believed himself a superman. And so
Germany, by mere buster, humbugged
the world into believing that the happi-
ness of children depended on the skill
The toy item was important in Ger
many's export trade. 1t is now an in
teresting item to prove that the worlds
dependence on Germany was no moro
than a sham. Were Germany to. be
quite wiped out of existence the world
would continue to have plenty of toys
and aniline dyes and orchestra leaders.
1t would even have enough liver sau-
sage and blutwurst to satisfy it's de-
mandS.

~SAM SIMPLE.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Some weeks ago the Advertiser inquired
after a number of books that had been
written in and about Alabama, but which
were no longer in print. Among these
was Sam Simple's First Trip to New
Orleans" which many grown-ups of to-
day read as boys, and which the fathers
of some of them have read before them.
The Advertiser is in receipt of a copy
OF this book from the publishers, the j.
w. Burke company, of Macon, Ga. One
of the publishers in a letter to the Ad-
vertiser states that the story was writ
ten by Baptist preacher named Will
burn, who lived in Macon and later
moved to Texas. The book was originally
published before or during the war be-
tween the states and was out of print
for a long time. A member of the Burke
company procured a copy when boy,
enjoyed reading it, so much that in
1898 he endeavored to get a copy to pub
lish it. Finally, want adj offering IS
for a copy got the usual good results of
a newspaper want ad A negro had a
copy and sold it to the publishers. The
Burkes "at once rewrote or edited the
latter chapters and had it illustrated by
| Rufe Evans, of Macon" and has printed
| 10000 copies up to the present time. 1T
| was handled by railway news companies
about 500 sales month being made, but
of late years we have not sold any in
| this way" but the publishers regard the
| book "as a gem of the SOUTH and think
it will always sell. 1t is the story of
an Alabama greenhorn, who, on his trip
to New Orleans, stopped off in Mont<
gomery and had some strange expert
ences at the old Exchange hotel.
