and will hold forth in the store house of Dr. Pruitt near the depot. We are glad to see all new corners and all additions of business to our town.
 Alfred c. Reynolds x Co, Gen eral Commission Merchants and dealers in Western Produce, St. Louis, have secured the services of our lively young friend, Dan T. Reynolds, to look after their interests in Arkansas. See their card in to-day's paper.
 Hon. C. E. Tobey made a flying visit to Sebastian county last week and returned Saturday. He gives g very good report of crops above here. He made the trip from Ozark on horseback and had q good opportunity to view the country. He says they have not suffered with the drouth like we have-that the water was standing in the sutters, and that crops looked very well.
 FINE GRAIN.-Thcre is q sam pie of wheat at Mir. J. G. Fergu- sons store, which, we believe, is without exception the finest we have seen this year; and, in fact, as fine as we have ever seen. The wheat was grown by MT. James c. Williamson, some four miles from town. Mir. ". says meas ured bushcl of it weighed Il pounds. It is white wheat.
 MT. Ebb Howell has placed in our office . stalk of cotton which shows what our river land will do. It is called the Java Prolific, is G feet high, has 54 well grown bolls and l25 squares. It was grown on Mr. Ben Aliens farm, on the river some 8 miles from this place.
 M. A. Moscley, from Judso- nia, has been in town several days looking at our place with a view to locating and embarking in bus mess here. MT. N. seems to be pleased with the looks of our place and to think well of the prospect ahead, and we under stand will associate himself with Mir. ". c. Renfro and go into the Groceries and Supplies business. We welcome Mir. Mosely to our town, and the new firm to a place among our other mercantile hous- es.
 Most all of our state cxchan. ges from other counties have pub lished the county clerks state ment of allowances made by their county courts, thus showing tax payers how their money goes. Is our county so much poorer than all others that she cannot also make a showing how the public revenue is disposed of?
 It would be a big thing for our town and have Q most whole some effect in attracting new citi- zens to the place, if we could an- nounce that our little village sus- tains a good nine months free school--a school where every child residing in the district could drink from the fountain of knowl- edge freely-without money and without price-for nine months during the year. This would place our town ahead of any other village, town or city in the state in respect to educational matters.
 -"GooD ADVICE. We have received letter from the popular firm of Nessrs. Fisher Bros. S Co.,, Commission Merchants, St. Louis, Mo-, speaking well of our paper, and commenting the advice we have been giving our planters in regard to getting out their cotton
 early and handling it nicely, They say "at presentruling prices it will not pay to pick and gin cotton carolessly" and they "Iully endorse the advice given in our neat and progressive paper" We thank Messrs. F. D. & Co. for the compliment.
 SUPERB PEARs.-Mr. Thomas Oats hands us some specimens oi the Bartlett pear which arc splen- did to look upon. They are very perfect and healthy looking and for size we haze seen nothing to compare to them. The largest one measured 9.15 16 inches in circumference and If inches l nrnn-nl it lnn.rt h nj nn nnl .rut.nL :.
