division of sanitary engineering OF
the State Department of Health.
is in the city today in conference
with Director Clyde Morris and
City Engineer S. B. Miller with ref
erence to the water and sewer sys-
TENS of Fairmont.
Special attention is being given
to the large sewer which empttes

sewerage remains at the mouth OF

pleasant as well as unhealthy con-
dition for residents in that yicin-
ity.
Mr.. Tisdale went with Director

The Easy Way.

A certain colored minister in expounding the Scriptures to his hearers was accustomed to hand le difficult passage in the follow ing manner: Now, my breth- ren, we come to very difficult passage. a very difficult passage. But let us not be deterred. Let Us look the matter boldly in the face and-pass on. ''
 Doubtless there are other people in the world who are Tn the habit of treating their difficulties in very much the same manner. They do not honestly try to master them; they merely look them in the face and pass on. Many persons find them selves hopelessly outstripped in the race of life because of some unfortunate habit of this kind. They have weaknesses. evil appetites. and temptations: they know exactly what they are. for they have been acquainted with them for years. Yet they never make an honest effort to correct their weaknesses or to overcome their inclinations. They merely look them in the face and pass on. "-X

MOhOemet Fails to
 Throw Kid Thomas

The wrestling match at the Vic tory Theatre last night was cer- tainly some match. a match sell dom equalleG in bulldog deter imitation to win.
 Yeuseff Mohoemat was to throw Kid Thomas twice in one and a half hours. Mohoemet weighed nearly ten pounds more than Thomas so it was a handicap match.
 Both wrestlers used all the holds known to the mat fratern- ity and, though outweighed by Mohoemet. Thomas broke all holds, and gave Mohoemet all he could do to keep from being Topped on his back himself, and it is the candid opinion of all who saw the match that it would be an even bet as to who would win. if they shouldNmeet again.
 It was clean match and well worth the money. We have failed to find one person who at tended, who did not say that he got his moneys worth.
 Kid Thomas at his weight welter weight can make the best of them sit up and take notice. In tackling Mohoemet he went out of his class. ut held his own. and the match went the limit. one and a half hours, without Ia fall on either side.
 The attendance was not as large e it should have been. though 1t was Drlghtend by the presence of about twenty-five ladies.
 We understand that a finish match will be arranged for the near future Thomas will train intensivey between now and then, and is confident he can throw the Turk next time.

 On Beaver Dam

The funeral of Mrs. Lily Tip ton Byers, who died after a long illness at her home here Thurs day last, was delayed pending the arrival of relatives from Arkansas and remote Tennessee points. The service was conduct ed Saturday morning at the Christian Church, of which de- ceased had been a member more than 20 years, and many friends and relatives were impressed with the sermon of Rev. w. l.. Taylor. who was summoned from Nashville for this service. He spoke of the life and works of this estimahle woman who had made many friends during her stay here.
 Deceased was a daughter of Mir and Mrs. James Tipton of Tracy City, where her early life previous to her marriage to the late Reuben Byers 9 years ago, was spent. She was 45 years of age and is survived by a daugh- ter and son, Miss Bernice Byers and James Byers, students at the local High School; two brothers, Allen Tipton of West Virginia, and Thomas Tipton of Altus, Arkansas, and one sister, Mrs. Orange Golf of Decherd.
 The remains were carried to Beaverdam, following the church service, and inferred be- side those of her late husband who died twelve years ago.

Farmers Endorse
 Jim G. Ferguson

l tilt Aat ili0i VI Al knew of anyone whom t hey would rather have for Commis- sioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture than the present incumbent Jim G. Ferguson, they would doubtless let 1t be known. Since there has been no demand for change in this important office believes that it is the unanimous wish of the people that the efficient service ren- dered by Mir. Ferguson be con- tinued.
 This department is one where eX perience Is required to admin ister the technical operations of the law. and a ma n new in office could not hope to secure the splendid results obtained by Mir. Ferguson. A trained mind, and experienced eye are needed by the man who directs the activi- ties of this branch of State gover- ment. and it is hardly necessary to say that Mr. ! Ferguson pos sesses both of these qualities.
 Since elected Commissioner, MT. Ferguson has done a great many things for Arkansas. He has advertised the state as it was never advertised before; he l has made an industrial survey and published report on the manufacturing industries of the state, which was never lone be- fore; he has, in the abse nee of T geological survey, gathered all the facts known about the min eral resources of Arkansas and published three reports which have been helpful in attracting and aiding capital in the develop ment of the mineral wealth of l the state: he has published and l furnished to the public schools, graphic charts. maps and other literature which have helped student and teacher to gain a better knowledge of Arkansas. its crops, it's factories. it's min erals. and it's people. and, among other things. he has obtained the cooperation of the government in establishment of a joint crop reporting service, in market research work, and in a special survey ot the Fl Dorado oil and gas field. In addition to this, he has carried on the routine work of his department with Satisfac- ton to all connected with it.
 Farmers who visit Mr. Fer g1son at his office in the State Capitol always find in him a friend. and it IS safe to say that they have not more loyal public servant in the State Cover ment. The ArkansaSHomestead
