alized. The Robinson circus is
up to concert pitch. It has the
^ strong features that have always
marked previous shows, with
_ new features that are notable.
In a word it vas the best exhi

I CLEAN and honest.
There are hve detectives with
the show. Picking pockets and
gambling is not permitted.

* Demonstration Farm at Camden.
Camden, Nov., 17.—A mass
meeting of farmers is being held
i at the court house today to dis
cuss the establishment of a United
States agricultural department
f demonstration farm: in Ouachita
county. Col. A. V. Swaty of
Little Rock, special agent of the
■y department, is here to attend the
meeting.
Col. Swaty spent three days
here last week getting acquaint
ed and talking to our people with
the view of establishing a de
monstration farm near Camden.
These community demonstra
tion • farms are co-operative
schemes between the ou-iness
men' and the farmers. Some
farmer is selected to conduct op
I erations. Then it is required
that sufficient money be raised
to purchase fertilizer and guar
antee the farmer against loss
in case the experiment proves a
failure. A committee is appoint
ed to look after the matter and
each community attends to its
own farm. The government
supervises and furnishes seeds
and directs the cultivation.
It is proposed to cultivate
| about forty acres in corn and
! cotton. The idea is to show how
by improved methods of farm
ing that the yield of corn and
cotton may be greatly increased,
also to show how to preserve the
1 fertility of the land and reno
vate old and wornout lands.

been subjects of his opponent,
Governor Davis, attacks.
; He convinced his hearers that
he had been true to the trust re
: posed in him and had ever serv

hand by a large part of his audi
ence.
