 An extensive planter of Perry county sends us two cotton blooms, wbich are the first we have seen. The 16th of June is rather early for cotton blooms. The first last year were on the 4th of July.-Little Rock Gazette.
 We had blooms in this county on the 10th of June.-Prescott Dispatch. Col. Ben, T. Embry showed us cotton bolls, at Atkins, on the 20th of June, as large as partridge egg. Some one has sent us copy of the New York Star, with an article marked, advocating Tilden's nomi- nation for the Presidency. We are obliged for the paper, but will in- form the friend who sent it, that ''we are not that kind of at."-Prescott Dispatch.
 You are simply mistaken. The Stars article was a violent attack against Tilden, and if we mistake not 1t was re print from republican paper.
 A new "Meteor" has blazed forth upon the journalistic skies, Malvern is it's birthplace, Messrs. Webber & Henderson its proprietors and J. F. Henderson it's editor. These gentlemen are we'll known in Arkansas as men of worth and ener- gy and we doubt not they will make the "Meteor" good thing for Nal vern, Hot Springs county, and for the State. Long may the light blaze forth from the "Meteor."

We think it safe to say that Arkansas will this year produce the largest crop ever made.-L. k Democrat.
