THE PROSPECT OBJ THE COTTON AND CORN Crop
The following letter has been received at Washingtoa

of the cotton and OF the crop in all that region tho

As regards Arkansas my Judgment based upon an a.
tcnsve Intercourse with large portion Of the state in
official capacity is that the yield OF cotton viii be much
greater the present than gene raly admitted and
particularly will this be the should the growing
season not be curtaed by early frost.

OF the State from number of adverse circumstance
much less cotton viii be produced than say 1900 the

counties where but little cotton has been grown hereto

Will be produced from such d1ta and from obse,vatons
of the groving crop in many places, as appear two q.
three weeks ago, my estimate is that the crop OF 1900 VIII

Those who recall the unpretending little volume.
published some time. last year, in with we were
made acquainted with the modest household Of the
pattern-designer, Alfred Hagart viii cordially wei
come this additional, chapter OF pleasant family
chronicle. Why decentralization ofthestory should
have been named "Miss oona McQuarrie" It SAITH
cult to perceive, the young lady who bears that des-
ignationbeing neither of the most important nor
the most interesting personages to be Here met WITH
The central figure Is certainly the excentric but
ssarsa hearted "Captan Kate" whose portrait, is
drawn with good deal of power. The character OF
Alfred Hagars isaso well delineated, but the young
people of the story doDot greatly attract us. Tie
book one which it is difficult to rate; it has marked
eritsmixed with equally marked defects. AS
story it is singularly incsnsequent and clumsy, and
IN style it IL unequal. Some portions of 1t are work.
ed UP with careful minuteness and elictous atten-
ton to detail reminding us of the finish of certain
Dutch paintings, while others show surprising neg
hg nce anu haste. 1t has however one merit rare in
thlsSensat'on age. namely, the quality-which- in
picture we call rePese pleasant uuietness Of tome
andan entire absence of that straining after melo-
dramatic effect which ofends us in almost everv xvor
ofuction upaifo On the whoie,wss are inc,.a1
to congratulate the reading public thatMr. AfeSa,
