Waking The Dead.
A stampede of colored picnic
ers took place a few nights ago
in the vicinity of Greenwood
cemetery. The negroes were
returning from a barbecue a few
miles northwest /Of town, and a
mischievous boy, knowing the
horror a negro has for ghosts,
draped himself in a sheet, and
coming out of the gate, of the
cemetery just as the hilarious
party passed, asked in ghostly
tones: ‘‘Why are you disturb
ing the dead?” Business pick
ed up right away. One of the
women fainted, others thought
their feet had suddenly rooted
to the ground, while the most of
them threw dust three feet high
with their heels in a hasty get
away. Hereafter, barbecues
with this crowd will be located
where cemeteries are not en
countered.—Camden Herald.
Last Sunday the Tuckerman
Methodist Sunday School used

TRI-SIM FAIR.
Eigger and Bella in Eaeii c!
Its Eighteen Departments.
Six Days el Unparalleled Edu
cation and Amusement.
_
Fair Oates Sept. 22 to 27, 1913.
Memphis Will Be in Bala Attire
During the Entire Period.
The Tri-State Fair, Memphis,
September 22d to 27th, the first
of the big Southern fairs, will open
its gates this year with the con
viction on the part, of its manage
ment that every one of its eighteen
b:g departments will excel, in
every way, any fair ever before
g; • ‘ii in the South.
At the first meeting held after
the closing of the 1912 fair it was
determined that no effort or ex
pense should be spared to secure
the best, and nothing but. the best
for this year’s fair, and the result
has been most gratifying.
The two first exhibition build
ings have been rearranged and
will be given over entirely to com
mercial and industrial exhibits,
and even at this early date every
space has been taken. The third
building, formerly used for manu
facturers’ exhibits, will be the
agricultural hall, and the demands
for space, even now, are so great
that enlargement of this building
is contemplated.
The Tri-State Fair this year
ceased to be a private corporation,
the old stockholders turning over
to the new eleemosynary corpora
tion their entire interests with ths
understanding that hereafter no
individual should ever receive on*
penuy of profit from the Fair. The
new charter expressly states that
all money received in excess of the
accessary expenses shall be used
in improving the grounds and
buildings for the benefit of the
agricultural interests of Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee.
Live Stock.
The live stock exhibits at the
Tri-State Fair have always been
given especial attention. More
premiums have been offered, and.
with the active support of most of
the National Registry Associations
and th<* entries already received
this department will maintain its
record of growing bigger and bet
ter every year.
Agriculture.
The Agricultural Department
will vie with the live stock section
in importance. The 1913 fair will
see an entire new arrangement of
the agricultural building, which
will add to its general attractive
ness, while a new system of label
ing the exhibits, enabling each ex
hibit to tell the story of its produc
tion, will greatly add to their ed
ucational value.
Poultry.
The Tri-State Poultry Show,
held annually at the fair, under
the direction of* the Tri-State
Poultry Association, has become
a show.of national importance and
a ribbon won at Memphis carries
as much weight, if not more, than
from any other Southern show.
This value is due to the keen com
petition and the fact that the rib
bons are always tied by the best
■ judges in the United States.
Amusements.
This department has been given
especial attention as the manage
ment fully realizes that there must
, be recreation and relaxation in
connection with its educational
work. During the day music will
be rendered, both popular and
classic, by a splendid band, a free
open air vaudeville and acrobatic
program, in which there are some
; of the most sensational acts of the
year, will be given before the
grandstand, which is free during
j the day.
i The night feature will be Perry’s
, Victory on Lake Erie pictured in
; flame. The committee is to be con
gratulated on securing this drama
I in fireworks, as it is the sensation
i of the year and is in such demand
as to have fully booked its season
| early in the year. In addition to
this spectacle there will be other
fireworks of an unusual order.
Other Features.
Space is limited and it is im
possible to enumerate all of the
good ikiugs offered, but it will be
well to bear in mind that if you
visit, but one fair in 1313, let that
be. the Tri-State Fair.

“IN A BAD WAY”
-- .. . I
Many A Newport Reader Wili
Feel Grateful for This In
formation.
If your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or ach
ing;
If urinary troubles set in,
Perhaps your kidneys are “in
a bad way.”
Don’t delay—L se Doan’s Kid
ney Pills.
Here is good evidence of their
worth:
Mrs- Susan A. Alexander, of
Main street, Batesville, Ark.,
says: “I suffered from a dull
ache in the small of my back
and had dizzy spells and blurr
ing of my sight. I always felt
tired and languid and could
'hardly get up in the morning.
Doan’s Kidney Pills rid me of
the trouble soon after I began
using them- I advise a trial of
this remedy in all cases of kid
ney complaint. My former en
dorsement of Doan’s Kidney
! Pills still holds good. I think
just as highly of them today as
ever.”
For sale by all dealers. Price
50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.,
Buffalo, New York, sole agents
for the United States.
Remember the name—Doan’s
—and take no other. (Advt)
Reduce Cost of Reading.
There are two clubs in New Torli
that are designed to reduce the cost of
fresh reading matter. One Is com
posed of women who contribute 2f
cents a month and have the use of
all the best magazines, which are
later aent to a hospital. The other
buys new books for the same prloe
to each member and the books are dis
posed of by a lottery system, although
each member gets ona. There are
hundreds of ways to sare money.
