From Our Exchanges.

Lawrence Co, Journal; Plenty OF
melons, peaches, apples, etc. in the
market now.
Batesville Guard, 9th: Mr.. Rufus
Rcaves, of Big Bottom, says that he
raised this year, from seventy pounds
of German millet seed, fifteen tons
of hay. Big hay story, but it's true.
Arkansas City POST We want
watch makers, saddlers and timers
to settle here to embark in profitable
business. A good tannery would do
well here,
ArEadclphia Standard; The mast
in this country is said to be the
finest that there has been for years,
especially Of white oak acorns. The
trees are literally loaded down with
them. Hogs will fare sumptuouSly
every day on them in q short time,
Russellville Democrat: Those of
our merchants who have shipped
wheat to ST, Louis and received sales
thereof, complain that it has netted
them less money than they would
have realized had they sold it to the
Touring mills at Little Rock.
Bonneville Enterprise; Some OF
our citizens are intensely interested
on the subject OF spiritualism, We
don't mean the kind of spirits that
come in barrels and things, but gen
uine "spooks," that come out in the
night and knock On the table.
White Go. Record; 1t is amusing
to see the twinkle in our doctors
eyes as they behold watermelon
wagons vending their way slowly
around Court Square. They are
counting up the net profits to them,
in the way Of professional vlsits,
from each purchaser.
Des Arc Citizen: There has been
an abundance of rain in all the sur
rounding country during the past
week. 1t has been Of great advanj
age to early planted corn, and will
make it a good crop. Late planted
corn looks sickly and yellow, and
will egt poorly: tGSo7ttt0ntviit5 TO.
ing well thus far. 1t is not large,
but well formed, and with fair sea-
sons will make an average crop.
Bdrcsvilc Guard, 9Th: Business is
opening lively in the river, Last
Friday the Alberta, took out the fol-
lowing trip: 1913 sks wheat 23S SKIS
oats, "A SKIS corn, 100 SKIS -four
total 894 SKIS; 8 bales cotton, and
sundries to order. Tuesday she car
ried out another big trip, Theo,
Maxfeld & Bro. sent 1873 SKIS wheat;
Weaver & Co., 81; Simon Adler, 1856;
G. N. Minikin, 84--totaL AL SKIS;
4 bales cotton, and 10000 lbs flour.
Good passenger trip both times.
Mariana Index: A great many Of
our farmers are in the habit of tell
ing inquirers that they have good
Crops, until the said farmers them
selves believe that their crops are
good every year, when such IS not
the case. We have been over g good
deal Of this county, and physicians
have given US crop reports which
we know are correct and our 0pin
ion, based on this information, is
that a good yield cannot be expect
ed. The crops of Lee county have
net been properly worked; we have
had TOO much rain. Sc farm pros
poets are not encouraging.

State Grange: 1t is probable that
cotton crop really immense will
be gathered this year. Of course the
lint viii be very low and it stands
the cotton raiser in hand to make
the mcst of the seed as woll as the
