Government Crop Reports.
THE COTTON CROP.
Showing a Slightly Better Pros-
 pect than for October, 865.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The re- port of the department of agricul- ture says the cotton season has been too variable in temperature and precipitation for the best de- velopment and largest fruitage. It was too dry in September on the Atlantic coast, resulting in further shedding of bolls. The weather has been comparative la vorable for picking.
 In Georgia and Alabama cotton is reported the same as last month. Tennessee makes slight improve ment. The CarolinaS, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas show a small reduction. The ay- craze is: Virginia 72, North Caro- lima 75, South Carolina 74, Georgia .S1, Florida S5, Alabama 80, Miss. issippi 70, Louisiana @, Texas n, Arkansas S6, Tennessee 96, aver. age of condition 79.3, against SOL last month and IS in October oi last year. It is six points below the October average of the crop Of 1879.
 In the summary of the condi, ton the average is one point high, CT than last year and the area per cent more and the season Is later. The difference between a long and short season may easily be a half million bales. Reports of the condition of other crops will be issued Monday.

The representations of DOT der life take place on the hushl bippodrome track, which affords every convenience tor their pro- duction. The programme IS artis' ticaIly varied and compreiensl'e e, and Dr. Carver alone possesses the resources to give 1t faithful interpretation. The following are the prominent features: An Im- posing historical parade, lntroduc' ing the entire combination, lndl- ans. scouts, cowboys, hunters, Mexican vaquerors, characterlstl. cally dressed, and headed by Red River Toms cowboy brass band; a race between Indians mounted on their spotted ponies; "Mustans Sam," the celebrated pony express rider, in a display of his skill ln riding spirited horses, making changes without alighting, while on a dead run; the Deadwood Stage coach, aud running fght-a band of Indians dart from all am bush and attack the coach, but are repulsed by the scouts and COW boys, led by Dr. Carver and Dig Jim Ran ,all; a running race "White Cloud" against fleet mus tang; lassoing wild horses-by In. dians, vaquerors and cowboys; Dr. ".

CORN, WHEAT AND OATS.

WATHlNGTON, Oct. 1.-The re- port of the department of agrlcul- ture for October gives local esti- mates of the yield per acre of small grains. with the condition of corn, potatoes and other late crops. The results corroborate previous returns of wheat and confirm the expectations of a slight increase from first records of threshing. The result will vary little from an increase of 100,000,00O bushels over the crop of last year.
 The average yield per acre of oats is 266 bushels, making a crop of over 600, 100000 bushels. The high temperature of September and the absence of frost have inn proved the corn crop prospects and made an expectation of p bushels per acre; and rendered certain a crop of at least 1,650,- GOO, ,0OO bushels. The general av- craze is nearly so, against % last year, when the yield was 26. } bushels.
 The general average of the Oc- tober condition of potatoes IS Si, against S2 last year,
 The tobacco average convention is nearly S7. Cigar tobacco aver ages high except in Wisconsin.

THAT excellent daily, the Little Rock Democat, has the following Co say of "Our Tom Tom McRae may not be related by affinity and conSanguinity" 10 so many dlstin- guished people as Judge Mitchels friend Holman is, but Tom has made a splendid record as Con- gressman. His family may not have come to Arkansas in 1919, but that does no. prevent McRae from being a clear headed, saga, clous, faithful hard working repre- sentative. Tom McRae may not have as many broad acres of corn and cotton as Mir. Holman, but he has wide grasp of the great ques- tions of the day and a patriotic re- gard for the public welfare. No re presentative has done better work, and neither Hit nor Holman nor any other candidate can take his place in the regard and esteem of the people of the Third district.

That's What we are Here For.

That's What we are Here For.
 Prescotl's horn is being vigor- ously footed by the Picayune, and rom its gasesus indulgences one would be led to believe that Pres colt is the only golden Fl Dorado in the wide, wide world within whose sunny pricincts life is worth living at all! If the Pirayune had "torn it's shirt about Prescott, simply, we should have allowed 1t to rant on in it's eager lunacy-rld- dle all available lcXicons and rav- iSh the truth: but since it decrles its sisters We must call halt on behalf of Philadelphia. Didn't the Picayune know that Philadelphia was located in Arkansas-or, per hapS it thought Philadelphia, was commonwealth within herself. We have d town up here that IS unpretcntious, but is possessed of real merit. Prescott may blow but our town quietly does the best business and has the best church and school facilities otany medium size place in the State. It Pres colt erer gave more for cotton than Philadelphia the fact is an obscure ore. and yet to be established! The columns of the Picayune show that the merchants of Prescott pat ronize the public press more llber- ally than they do here. This Is a fact-it is a lamentable one to us. However, we can't go back on Philadelphia, il she does in a pain ful measure go back on the press she is a good and prosperous town and does not take down her sign even for Prescott Philadelphia Standard.
 Ohl An! Why, Bro. Beck, we are surprised at you. You are muchly mistaken. We did not claim the half of what you imagined we did. We know Prescott is not the only golden Fl Dorado;" ard we know it was not. our intention to decry Philadelphia. We said, and still say. that Prescott is the best town Southwest Arkansas, and facts and figures will corroborate all we said of Prescott, and we eX- pect to continue to blow the horn long and loud i'll praise of our town-"that,s what we are here for.n
 Oh, yes, we are aware that there is such place as Philadelphia, and a very good tame town, but Pres colt in her onward march can't stop to boost up or vouch for It.. The railroad agents here have al- ways told us Prescott received more freight of all kinds and ship. ped more cotton than any other town on the line between TeXar- kama and Little Rock, and we know them to be reliable, truthful gentlemen. The fact remains as we stated last week, Prescott is ahead, and intends to stay in the lead.
 As to the merchants here pat ronizing the Picayune more than the merchants of Philadelphia the Standard, we cant say, but think our contemporary has a fair pat rouage. We know it has almost double as many inches of home display ads, II may be that the people of Philadelphia object to the Standards running a patent side, and if it would discard it, they would cease going back on the preSs,' and the Standard would have more room to rant, and exhibit some landable lunancy in blowing it's horn.
 You are right Bro. Beck in not wanting to take down Arkadel- ph,a's sign even for Prescott. Our people desire no such thing, but will continue her progressive march, with the Picayune in the van guard.
