CHICOT COUNTY.
Crops Generally Fine-The Calhoun
Land Company.

From an Appeal Correspondent
CHrCor CRY, ARK, August 12.-Notwith.
standing the Unprecedented drawbacks OF
the season from the overflow, and the super
fluffy OF rain, the crops in Chicot are gener-
ally very fine, and we are happy to add that
that pest, the cotton worm, has not yet made
its appearance, and it is now too late for any
fears on that score, in consequence of which
that hope which springs eternal is now buoy
ant in the hearts OF long-suffering planters
in this section.
The writer recently made a trip over the
plantations now belonging to the Calhoun
Land Company, Chicot county, Ark. Hav-
ing had long aud harrassing personal ex-
perience of the dIsorganized and uncertain
methods of planting in vogue in the South
since the war, he found il refreshing TO dis
cover that order could be brought out of
chaos, even with the troublesome materials
Of free labor and long neglected lands
Honor to whom honor is due, and the honor
and credit for the happy change OF affairs on
these lands is due 10 the energy, untiring
industry and business tact of Captain John c.
Calhoun grandson of the distinguished
South Carolina statesman of the same name),
whose home is in, and whose interests are
identified with, Chicot county. He bought
and got possession of these places Tor Bos-
ton syndicate in March, too late to work
them TO their full capacity this year, which
fact, taken in connection with the overflow,
the destruction TO stock by gnats, and the
new order of things to be introduced
which ensued, all tend to magnify the
credit due him for the magnificent
fields of cotton now ornamenting the
lands of this company. Captain Calhoun,
as general manager and president of the
Land Company, has systematized things in
the places under his control in way to be
productive of good to all of the adjacent
country, and which tells 10 the superior or
ganizstion and improved temper of the
laborers involved. His investment was
$4,000 in cash. He will make a clear
profit this year of twenty-five to thirty-three
per cent, thus paying the purchase money
in four years. These plantations are sus-
ceptible of doubling their capacity, and it ia
safe to predict they will do so if the COM
pany can be SO fortunate as to retain Cap
tain Calhoun at the head of affairs. He has
faith in the future of his own section, and
has its best development very near at heart.

tations, and that man who can bring order,

sway fer SO many years is entitled to the

Burning of BIerstadt's Man.
sion.

New York, 10.-The Bierstadt place at
Irvington, on the Hudson, owned by
Albert Bierstsdt, the artist, was destroyed
by FIRE this morning. The origin Of the
fire IS unknown, bat the theory is that
it started in the chimney fues. Henry
F. Chapman, jr., member of the New
York stock exchange, occupied the man
sion during the past season, and yester-
day morning returned to their home in
3 Brooklyn. The mansion was erected
sixteen years ego at a cost of 500. 600.
The studio, 75x50 feet. with ceiling So
feet high, was situated in tie rear Of the
second story. All the rooms were spa
cious. The interior was finished In hard
woods; large Turkish rugs took the place
Of carpets; the furniture was costly.
Nearly every roon contained from three
to ten valuable pictures of the famous
artist. In the library were two pictures
of the famous Yosemite Valley, valued
at $4,000 each. The house was filed
with many valuable trophies and curiosi-
ties, which Bierstadt had collected Ia
the Yosemite Valley and elsewhere. AS
far as known these valuable relics and
furniture we're totally destroyed. The
furniture itself WAS probably worth
$40, 900; the pictures and curiosities are
estimated worth nearly 100000 more.

Lost Faith in Physi clan S.

Why is it that so many persons
use proprietary medicines, or patent
medicines, as they are commonly
called? Is it because people lose
faith in their physicians? Well.
this is. no doubt,l frequently the case.
There are innumerable instances
where cures have been affected bv

and Liver SYRUP for all diseases
of the blood, when they had been
given over by their physicians. IL
is one OF the best remedies ever Of
fered to the public, and as it is pre-
pared with the greatest care, as a
specific for certain diseases, it is no
wonder that it should be more
effectual than hastily written and
carelessly prepared prescriptions
made by incompetent physicians.
Take ScoYill's Blood and Liver Syrup
for all disorders arising from i'm

ing professional men as well as bv
eminent physicians and Others
