ARKANSAS EXHIBIT
AT THE FAIR
Compares Favorably In Every
Department With Those of
Other States.
St. Louis, August L—Never
since her admission into the
^ upion has Arkansas had so fa
vorable a chance to exhibit the
volume and variety of her won
derful resources as she is now
, enjoying through the medium of
the great Louisiana Purchase ex
position at St. Louis, and the
/splendid showing being made in
' each of the six special depart
' ments of her great composit ex
hibit flashes her glory upon the
world with the overpowering
force of a search light.
The soil of a state is the pri
mary source of the wealth of her
people, and the richer and more
varied that soil the more solid
and sure will be their prosperity.
The products of the soils of Ar
kansas are shown in three great
divisions classified under the
heads of agriculture, horticul
ture and forestry.
In the palace of agriculture,
i centrally located and beautifully
designed and constructed, stands
. ■« i • j _ j* J*_

products. Natural grains,
grasses, vegetables and fruits
were used exclusively in its con
struction, and the ornamental
arrangement has been so effi
ciently carried out that it is the
almost universal verdict of visit
k ors that this is the most varied,
beautiful and attractive booth in
L the building. Hon. H. I. Brad
ft'ford, state commissioner of
mines, manufactures and agri
L. culture of Little Rock, ably as
m sisted by Park Crutcher, deserve
great praise at the hands of the
people of Arkansas, for the effi
ciency with which the claims of
Arkansas as an agricultural state
are being placed before the peo
ple of the world.
That Arkansas is the world’s
orchard is conceded by every
body who is posted, and Hon.
John P. Logan, president of the
Arkansas State Horticultural So
ciety, and Mr. Chambers, who
have planned, arranged and
managed her fruit exhibit in the
palace of horticulture, have had
to perform the double task of
filling the expectations of “home
folks” and of opening the eyes'
of people of other states and for-;
eign countries upon tne import
ance of Arkansas as a general
fruit-growing state. They have
made no attempt to hide a lack |
of fruit by elaborate ornaments
constructed from wood, stone,
paint or bunting, but have con
fined themselves entirely to fresh
fruit, and when Arkansas’ hor-:
ticultural exhibit bursts upon the
,yiew of the visitor he simply
sees a great sea of faultless fresh
fruit, tastefully arranged on un
protected tables so that he may
1 pass in among and examine them.
Mo attempt or provision is made
jm hide defects in samples by
^placing them under glass or pil
ing behind protecting railings,
and he who sees and studies Ar
kansas’ matchless fruit exhibit
will go away and ever afterward
whenever and wherever he sees
a perfect apple, peach, pear or
berry will always think of Ar
kansas.
The state’s exhibit in the pal
ace of forestry, fish and game is
one which could not be duplica
ted from any other single state
L in the union. The great variety
I of woods comprising it amaze all
k who see them. The woods are
1 shown both finished and plain,
I in order that the student may
mliave unlimited opportunity to
examine them without being de
ceived or hindered by filler, oil
or varnish, and the visitor leaves
the exhibit fully knowing that
in this as well as other resources
Arkansas has everything to show
and nothing to conceal. Hon.
E. T. Bradford and Charles Wat
kins have charge of this exhibit.
In the Palace of Mines and
Metallurgy the splendid mineral
resources of Arkansas have been
efficiently represented through
the large ability and untiring
energy of Prof. Perdue, profes
sor of geology and mineralogy in
the Arkansas University at Fay
etteville, assisted by Carl Smith.
Arkansas outdoes all her sister
states in variety of useful min
erals, and in zinc, lead, bauxite,
marble, phosphate rock, coal,
antimony, manganese, asphal
tum, chalk and many other re
sources shows specimens which
cannot be duplicated in any other
part of the world.
In the Palace of Education the
state again comes in with a very
creditable exhibit, which com
pares favorably with those of
many an older state. The cul
ture and art of the people of
Arkansas as well as the progress
and efficiency of the state’s
public, private and denomina
tional educational institutions are
well portrayed and shown. The
state owes much for the con
■ /».!• 1 *1
spicuous success oi uns tJAinun,
to the industry and public spirit
of Prof. J. H. Hinemon, state
superintendent of public instruc
tion, and Miss Allie May Apple
gate.
The Arkansas state building,
managed by Hon. Thos. W.
Milan of Hot Springs, and pre
sided over by Miss Lizzie Cage
as hostess, is the social Mecca of
all Arkansas people and has be
come noted for the hospitality
shown to visitors from other
states. It is a neat frame build
ing, colonial style, representing
the southern manor of ante
bellum days. It is neatly finished
and furnished, nothing but prod
ucts of Arkansas being used
about the building. In the main
room of the lower story the land
department of the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern and the
Little Rock & Fort Smith rail
ways has installed a complete
exhibit of the woods and miner
als of the state and ornamented
the walls with paintings from
life of familiar industrial and
picturesque scenes, also with
views of leading educational and
fraternal institutions. This room
is in charge of Mr. A. T. Ellis,
assisted by Prof. Chas. F. Brown, <
an expert mineralogist from Hot
Springs.
The Crystal Grotto, in which
leading scenes at Hot Springs
are portrayed, may be found in
the north end of the government
building. It is under the man
agement of Mr. E. F. Cooley and
is well worth a visit.
The Arkansas state commis
sion, composed of Hon. Geo. R.
Belding, president; J. C. Rem
bert, secretary; Geo. T. Lake
and H. T. Bradford, with Thos.
W. Milan, manager, is to be con
gratulated upon the practical,
economical and efficient manner
in which the i aterests of the state
have been handled. Under their
efforts the superiority of Ar
kansas exhibits at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition over those
made at the world’s fair at
Chicago fully illustrates the
marvelous growth and develop
ment of Arkansas.

9 o’clock between Ark. Bank &
Trust Co. and Wolff-Goldman’s,

or Wolff-Goldman’s. 83d3t
FUNERAL SERVICES.
The funeral services of the late
Mrs. Louise Remmel Empie were
held Monday evening at 7 o’clock
at the home of the deceased on
Laurel street, a large number of
friends being present as a last
! tribute to her memory.
The services were conducted
by Rev. R. B. Willis and his ser
mon was a beautiful expression
‘ of the sorrow that is felt by all
| and the sympathy that goes out
: to the family in their distress,
of the goodness of deceased and
the impress of her Christian
character upon the town.
The hymns sung were “Nearer
My God to Thee,” and “Abide
With Me.” Mrs. G. A. Hill
house rendered sweetly “One
Sweetly Solemn Thought. ”
The remains, accompanied by
Mr. W. B. Empie, Miss Lula
Empie and H. L. Remmel, left
on No. 12 for Fort Wayne, Ind.,
where interment will take place
immediately upon their arrival.
