LoNoKE, ARK, May l0.-Oging to
Ia orable weather the crops are in
more forward state and better condi-
tion than at this time for many years.
The acreage, too, is much larger than
heretofore. Some are late; few not
up, but such are very few. They re-
quire rain, as it is dryer here than
ever before at this season. Generally
the plants look strong and vigorous
and the fields are clean. A few lave
been injured slightly by cut worms
and the cotton was mouse-esred, but
this was only rarely the case. The
outlook as whole is far better than
.ever before at this time, 50 the farm
ers say.
The labor troubles are the chief
topic here, and people. generally ere
disguised at the AnaIch st riots, and
all favor q summary disposition Of
them. They condemn in severe tefms
the act on OF men not able ID speak
our language, teaching the principles
Of liberty and our fres institutions to
a people who founded and fosteIed
them, while they, the foreigners in
the ranks, our oppressors aud enemies,
fighting US and trying to suppre' us
at wages Of $40 month, and now talk
10 us about what our forefAthers
fought for.
The County Central Committee OF
the Democratic party of Lonoke
County met 10 day at the courthouse
10 arrange the details OF the coming
canvass for State and County officers.
The county for some years past has
been largely Democratic, but q new
factor in politics is developed in an
unknown quantity, namely, the agri-
cultural wheel. 1t includes nearly
all the farmers of the county,
and they have decided to
make themselves masters Of the
political situation with fair prospects
{ ( succees. Two years ago they con-
trolled the vote Of several counties,
and, encouraged by their SUCCESS and
largely augmented woe, propose to
name the Stats ticket, three Congress
men, the Legislature and most Of the
county officers. some time back the
county wheel resolved to meet fifteen
days before the primary and decide
who Of the Demo cratic card dates
they, as a body, would support,
which means elect, and as they
are mostly Democrats and have enough
OF their order in the field to make a
full ticket, it is giving candidates
who are no. wheelers the cfsmp, and
in the convention to-day resolutions
were adopted requesting them no to
do go, but to let every individual
wheeler as a Democrat vote his per
sonal preference, which, OF course
would reduce the chances Of the
wheelers and give the sim on pure poll
ticians better chance. The wheelers
in the committee explained that they
as wheeler, would vote only FL
Democrats aud would SUPP orc the
nominee, but the resolution was
adopted, no neg itive votes beipg cast.
The trouble in the camp is not quiet. ID,
as it looks pre- ty certain that most OF
the party are wheelers and will stick
to their choice, and leave the Other
fellows largely in the minority. The
primaries are to be held on May 29tb
and the work o compromising The
wheelers out will have to ba rapidly
accomplished il at all. The resolu'
tions are too lengthy to be given, a;
they are only Of local interest. But
the CO 1test in this locality bids fair tC
be rather vigorous. -,
Mr.. Harry Htrtcg, late Of the South
Africa diamond fields, a millionaire
and now a dealer in diamonds IN
London, England, after spe nding sew
eral mouths in L1noke with his kini
men Gus STaus and A. Hamburg, la
departed for his home in London. HI
made friends here who wish hin
success.
Miss Straus, sis!er OF Col. Gu
Straus, and one of the most beautiful
Young ladies ever here, has also, ate
spendlng the winter with her brother
returned to her home in London
England.
Every avaia animal and vehicl
is engaged to go to foot,wsshint
about eight miles north OF here t
morrow. There is nothing that vii
roll on wheels or walk on legs thai
not engaged, and the number that /
going to see if peoples feet can in fac
be washed is really sstonishinG
Whether they doubt the posslbilit
OF washing feet, or wish to se
for themselves that it is no
attended with alarming consequence
l am unable to say, but think if 1t ]
demonstra ed to be harmless ths
many will adopt the practice, or ocCs
sionally try the experiment. 1t seem
strange that 30 many have not learne
the mystery of 30 simple thing Q
could have been done any warm nigh
with a quart Of water and a dime I'll
basin; but this is pTogref sive age.
1t is reported that trains will ru
through to, Memphis in few day
and the prospect of getting the APPEA
the day of its publication is yer
pleasing.
Haymaking on the prairies wi
soon begin, and inquiries for grst
privileges are general. The graz
sells at from ten to twenty cents pc
acre. Any of you having prairies ca
derive en- ir come from it at once.
The strawberry crop is a failure tn
wear. az d thous nds of dollars usual
derived thereirom will be missed.
