ALL OVER THE STATE.

| ] Van Buren Press: The Wal lace boys cases have been trans ferred to Franklin county for trlal.
 Bentonville Advance: Our to- bacco is growing splendidly. The prospects are now favorable for a good crop.
 | Dardanellc Independent: Wm. Bennett reports splendid seasons in Delaware township, and crops very promising.
 Bentonville Advance: The oat crop this year is the hest Benton county has ever had. Some of our farmers are claiming 100 bushels to the acre.
 White Go. Record: We find quite number of faulty peaches. The early ones seem to have worms in them-not one on our trees but have them, so far. Hope later in the season they'll prove better.
 Van Buren Press, 20th inst: A gentleman of our county boasts of the largest pear tree in the world. We did not learn it's dimensions. Ten bushels, however, have been gathered from it, and forty still remain. A first-class pear story.
 State: Mir. T. B. Stout has produced beet, twenty inches ill length, and sixteen and a half inches in circumference. Beat that beet if you can. Brother McGuire can borrow it for his big August edition.
 White Go. Record: We have noticed several cornfields of late and the most of the stalks seem to have two ears on each stalk. In fact one ear on the stalk seem ed to be rarity. Whether this will prove for better remains to be seen. We think it is. Dardanelle Independent: We learn there is a small scope of country about seven miles back of town where they have had nothing like a season in seven weeks, while all around rain has | heen abundant
 Grange: Bro. H. J. Humphries reports much rain in Sharp coun ty, and that corn and cotton are in fine condition. The chinch bug is making its appearance. Much fatal sickness Tn that sec tion.
 White Co. Record: Friend J. R. Hall of Prospect Bluff, gives us this grange item: Wheat crop fine in this vicinity. MT. John Okely sowed l4 bushels, and threshed and cleaned 45 bushels. That's pretty good yield.
 Fayetteville Democrat; MT. Jas. H. Van Hoose has on exhi- bition at his store, petritied bat, dug up near town, six feet below the surface, in a bed of flint rock. It is the most perfect specimen of petrification we have ever seen.
 Bentonville Advance: We don't know that Benton will raise over 300,000 bushels of wheat, but there is plenty to bread her citl- zens, the thousands of Immigrants that promise now to come to our county, and have several 100000 pounds of flour for sale. All of the seventeen four mills in the county will be kept busy through the season.
 Fayetteville Democrat: The meeting last Saturday for the pur- pose of taking steps toward estab- fishing Manufactures in our midst, started the ball in motion. Shares are being taken right along, and we feel greatly encour- aged. It may be put down as a certainty that Fayetteville will boast a Woolen Factory at no dis tant day.
 Pine Bluff Press: Constable J. w. M. Murphy has arrested and lodged in jail man named John Angell, q refugee from Texas, charged with horrible murder in that state. Angell had been driv ing Wilkins stage for several months. As soon as q acquisition is received from Texas he will be carried to that state.
 State: The story Tn the Inde- pendent, on the authority of Dr. Flower, of Perryville, about a whole family being poisoned, six miles below here, by a centipepe in a coffee pot, is not credited. Citizens from that sec tion of the country have been in town and say that nothing of the kind has oc- cured within their knowledge. Perhaps it was somewhere else, or perhaps it was only a canard.
 Southern Standard; In some sections of our county we under stand that the crops have suffered very materially for the want of rain, and that in some localities the corn crop will be cut off at least one-third if they do not have rain immediatelv In other sec
