 Two excursion trains from the southeastern states passed up the road last week and another will be along soon.

They appear to be tho very kind of men we need. and if we are not mista- ken the Arkansas river valley will re- tain great many of them.

 THE DRoUTH.-There has been no | rain in this immediate locality for near 1 ly month and crops of every kind are greatly injured in .consequence-some crops of corn and cotton on upland and not well worked are reported as totally ruined. Geed rains within very few days would prevent total loss of crops, but in no event can they now be made to yield good return for the la bor bestowed upon them. The outlook at best is gloomy, and the farmer who has worked so faithfully sees the fruits of his labor parched up by the scorch- | ing rays of the sun. LATER.--As we 20 to press Cat noon Wednesday, there are some indications of rain.
