that the average asp'rant tor office
believes that the larger the held, the
better his chances for success. For
instance IN the 7th judicial Circuit
there are Z candidates for Circuit
Judge; two from Hot Springs ooun-
tv, 2 from Grant and 2 from Saline.
Saline county has four candidates
for county judge, eight for sheriff
four for county treasurer and six for
assessor. The medal should probab-
ly go to Lafayette county where
there are IL candidates IN the race
for sheriff. Randolph county is
strong contender the honor of being
the champion political county of the
state with seven candidates for coun
ty judge, seven for county clerk,
three for treasurer, four for sheriff
and four for circuit clerk. Their.
are eight candidates for sheriff in
Little River county and six in Hot
Springs county with other Offices
we'll represented. The honor of
handling the funds of Craighead
county appeals strongly to ten will

Arkansas was sold very effective

There we're among the number many
business men who have resided in
the state practically all their lives,
but they bad never been back of the
railroad and few of them had Wis

Missouri and North Arkansas Rail
road is again being operated. So
impressed we're these people with
that section of Arkansas that they
expressed the determination of re-
turning with their families for a
camp on the banks Of the Little Red
river. Quite few of the travellers
have visited the places most sdver-
tised by the railroads as scenic won
ders and these men declared that
the scenery IN that section eIoels
anything they had before looked up
on. The trade excursion was oper.
ated largely for the purpose of glv-
ing practical demonstration Of the
support the citizens who depend up
on the Missouri and North Arkan-
sss Railroad for train service may
expect from the business men of

Fair week should be an ami
versary week for the society.
It is time when former citi-
zens can best return to their
old homes and visit the scenes
of earlier years, because they
can most easily see and mingle
with their relatives and friends
of the past and their descend
ants. To make these periodic
returns is a good habit, and ev-
eryone who has changed his res
idence from the community
should get it. Let our Fair
week become your "Old Home
Week" and come here and have
an anniversary week with your
former associates. Every form
er resident of this community
who returns to his home is in
vited to attend this fair and eel
ebrate his return on the fair
grounds. Cultivate the idea Of
meeting the sons and daughters
of the surrounding community
as well as seeing again at least
once a year the faces of those
who have become Transient.
Old settlers are especially well

to Richmond Monday for the
purpose of securing the cooper

After Judge Wilson explained

road with the southern primary
road-those present at tn e
meeting we're unanimous for
project and a committee was APP
pointed to accompany the La
