The Prairie County Appeal OF the I'd in
slant, says they have splendid clover and fine
peaches there.
The Times thinks Forrest City would be
better without a corporation, for all the city
owns is S16S, and it owes S211S 10.
Mr. A Polk, of Colorado, the Center Point
Netcs says, mas been buying up cattle about
there, and takes 1000 head away with him.
The Van Buren, Pres utters a cry of dis
tress.' They have been shaken up by
young cyclone, and the woods around are
full Of candidates.
| Near Harrisburg Foster Freeman's house
and all he possessed took fire, and the
smoking, burning ruins and ashes are all
that remained to him.
As the food went down at Newport it left

than those OF this generation.
Harrisburg Tribune, Sd: Farmers are
pushing ahead with their work and crops
are looking better. A farmer came in to-
day and bought millet-seed, as the weather
had ruined all his cotton.
Clarendon wants a larger schoolhouse.
That is good. 1t also wants more tenement
| houses for the place is spreading. AT the
same place Jack Trellis was sent TO Jail for
trial for selling whisky without license.
The Beebe Times reports the shipment
| thence during May, of 600 crates of straw
berries, 200 boxes of apples, 700 boxes of
peas, and within the last nine days of the
month 2l00 boxes of peaches. Such trade
! is fine addition to the income of little
town.
Harrisburg Tribune, Sd: "Thos. Watson
has had to pay fine for carrying a pistol,
and three men have had to pay $50 for SELL
| ing liquor within the three-mile limits.

About Dallas the crops are clean and
growing finely since the warm nights have
come around. Prospect never better for
plenty. The farmers have the sorghum
| mania. They are tired of buying seventy
five cent syrup when we can make letter for
twenty-five cents.
Henry Butler, of Lunenburg township,
brought in seven wolf scalps, and received
S2S in scrip from the county for capturing
| them, one day last week. Mr.. Butler found
eight of the varmints, all young-about the
| size of raccoons-where they had been lett IN
seemingly safe seclusion by the parent wolf.
The Lard County Register reports: "Matt
Martin, of Tennessee, has filed his bill in
| equity in the lizard Circuit Court to set aside
the title OF r II. and Eliza A. Case and Pau
| line Woodward, to a large tract of man
ganese lands in this county. The case prom
ises to be one of considerable Importance, as
the interests involved. are valuable and the
parties amply able to liugate."
The Clarendon Sun wants protection" for
that town. 1t says: "We would ask the coun-
Gil at its next meeting to pass an ordinance
<imposing license upon parties who bring to
town beef for sale, because itprevents Messrs.
Jones & Rodgers, the butchers, from keeping
fresh beet all the time" Perfectly logical
let every town be protected" against the
surrounding and every county against the
neighborlDg town.
DIR. J. n. Doyle, physician of Newport,
hitherto highly respected, has taken to
drinking alcohol lately. He visited Mrs.
Hawthorne, who is sick, on Monday. He
prescribed alcohol, of which, when procured,
he himself drank freely. Becoming intoxi-
Gated he was shown lounge in an adjoining
room, where he lay down. The mother
sent in the little girl, of eight years, to
keep the flies from troubling him. After
awhile the mother, who had fallen asleep,
was awakened by the cries of the child, which
came in and reported the case to her mother.
The doctor was arrested, and plead guilty
before Esquire Wagner to attempt to COM
NIT rape.
Forrest City Times, Sd: "The people of !
LAnguille township, Phillips county, have
organized to protect themselves against the
emissaries of Niles party. Helena has two
military companies and Mariana one, which
will be sufficient to keep down mobs there.
We need military organization here very
badly. Our people should prepare for the
worst, if the worst don't get here. Niles is
head OF the communistic negro indemnity
party Through kindness the $1,000 fines
against him in Lee county were paid of, and
now the United States marshal has arrested
him for selling whisky and tobacco without
license. Had he remained he would have
made trouble, as he had the colored people
under complete control, and now they
threaten to destroy the whole neighborhood
if he is not set at liberty. The arrival OF
the Mariana Lee Rifles prevented an out
break When Niles was taken through the
town on the train several hundred negroes
had congregated at the depot to rescue him.
On Wednesday he was fined 5000 and sent to
the penitentiary for four months. He had
served term in the Nashville penitentiary,
and was leader of exodusters to Kansas,
many of whom he duped out OF their
money"
Little Rock Gaz- te 9th: "Over twenty
saloon keepers are summoned to answer Tor
keeping open on Sunday. 1t is stated
that a slate quarry, equal TO any In the
United States, has been discovered about
forty miles up the river. Specimens were
brought TO the city yesterday. Before
Justice Howe, yesterday, was arraigned Law
yer T. J. Oliphint, for laboring on the Sab
bath by drawing up contract and acknowi-
edging pay therefor on the Lords day. Mr..
Oliphint is the legal mouthpiecs OF the soci-
ETY. for the prevention of crime and for
enforcing the Observance of Sunday, and it
appears "a job was put up for him. The
case was deferred. Several days ago
colored young man named Sanders was shot
and killed while in the hands of officers OF
the law for an attempt to outrage young
lady in a church in Union township. Natu-
rally some excitement has existed in the
neighborhood since, and it seemed to culmi-
nate last Sunday in a scare as baseless in
fact as it was intense in feeling. The white
people, at and near Wrightsville and
Sweet Home, heard that the colored
people were arming with intent to slaugh-
ter them, and actually took their children
and wives 10 the woods and secreted them.
Among the colored people near there the ru-
NOR spread that their church, while their
friends were worshiping, had been fired into
and two of their number seized and muir
dered. These rumors of war coming to town,
the sheriff and another officer went to in
vestigate and found that the whole was
groundless scare. McCutter, the fu-nl-
ture man, and two Northern capitalists are
about 10 establish a large shoe factory at
Little Rock. They can get hides and mate
rial at low rates, and save the transport from
the East. Oak bark is very plentiful and
hemlock is at hand everywhere"
Little ROCK GdSetts, Itb: r. Kramer, the
mayor, sent a communication to the city
council last night recommending the repeal
OF the ordinances requiring saloons 10 be
closed on Sunday, because they are partial
as some other businesses are allowed. The
mayor says: 'In addition to the foregoing, l
desire to call your attention to a Sunday
nuisance much complained of, to-wit: The
ringing of certain church bells from early
dawn or sooner, and incessant exhibitions of
lung power the greater part Of Sunday, and
frequently far into the still hours OF the sue
ceeding night, to the great annoy ance of resi-
dents for several blocks from such.unmusicsl
nuisances in every direction. l deem such
ginging of bells and violent bodily exercises
a nuisance, and such labor az is wholly IN
consistent with Sabbath rest aud sanctity,'
to say nothing of its being an intolerable
nuisance to many OF our peace and quiet
loving citizens
THE CROPS
Arkansas City Journal, Sd: reports from
all over the State give generally favorable
view of the growing crops. Wheat is excel
lent, and corn is good In the main, though
somewhat injured by the cool weather and
the necessity of replantiDg after the late
freshets. Complaint is general of the injury
to cotton by the cool weather, bright
sunshine and warm nights being now re-
quired. In many places the plant has died,
and replant has been necessary. There vas
splendid growing weather for the past ten
days, until the present week, when the nights
