DARDASELLE, Septem Der 27.-Cir- cult court which has been in sessioz here for three weeks adjourned to. day. Judge Cravens has tried hard to clean up ths docket, and has sue ceeded to the extent that only thirty cases remain on all the dockets.
 A special grand jury was empanel led last Wednesday to inquire into the murder of Asbury Mercer, and returned an indictment for murder in the first degree, against Horace Mercer, the l6 year old son Of the murdered man. The case goes oyer until next. term and ths youthful murderer will be confined in the Danyille jail until that time. The evidence against him IS conclusive. Suspicion at first rested upon Mrs. Mercer as an accessory but there was no evidence tending to connect her with the crime.
 Over $l 300 Tn fines have been as sessed during the term, which will more than defray the expenses oi the court.
 Mr James D. Gee, who has been Deputy Clerk of the Dardanelle Dis trict for the past six years, was granted license to practice law. He expects to remove to the Indian Ter itory after he retires from the Clerk s office next month. J. W. Pound will succeed him as Deputy Clerk.
 The Dardanelle Post establish ment will be sold on tue 25th of October next, the court having made an order for it's sale, as the result of a suit in Chancery, pending between it's proprietors. Eugene Moore and the late Thos. J. Hicks.
 An effort will be made to build a court house and jail at this place in the near future. The district has never owned court house or jail since it's organization in 1876.

NEXT Monday the county levying court will meet In accordance with law to levy the taxes required to defray the expenses of the county government and other purposes for tn. ensuing fiscal year. One Of the most important matters to come be- fore the body is the question of a bridge tax. The need of bridges in different portions of the county Is unquestioned and recognized by no one more than the justices them. selves composing the levying Icourt. Heretofore they have been deterred from making levy for this purpose on account of the volume of out standing county indebtedness and a disinclination to impose further bur. dens upon the people. That was a valid excuse and commendable, but 1t does not stand in the way now. It is claimed there are not more than $4,500 in scrip outstanding, and nearly $7,500 could be used in meet ing the requirements of the next collection, even though the levy thls year for county general purposes be no more than last year. So the coun- ty is practically running its business on cash basis, and an additional expenditure for the much esded bridges across the rapid and danger ous streams Tn our county, is an i'm Frovement which could well be sf- forded. We understand that Judge Bullock Is in favor of such tax and will make recommendation to that effect in his report to the court. Let the justices carefully weigh the mat ter and we feel sure sense of pub lie duty will induce them to make the start this year to raise a fund for bridge purposes.

The Outlook for Cotton

The regular monthly crop report of Hill, Fontaine X Go, has just been issued. It shows the condition of the cotton crop within the Memphis dis trict, which embraces West Tennes see, North Mississippi, North Ark ansas and North Alabama. The re port is made from 302 letters of in quiry sent out, except twenty one, the replies to which bear average date of September 24. The weather during tue month was unfavorable. Excessive rains fell throughout the district, which greatly retarded farm ing operations, and serious damage Is reported. The rains were general in their nature and came in q very inopportune time. Cotton was just beginning to open and picking had commenced, but the continued wet weather which has prevailed during the past two weeks has prevented planters from gathering their cotton and in many sections has caused in. jury to the crop. The damages from excessive rains, drouth, rust, worms and all other causes is gwen at l6s per cent. This is the estimate made as compared with tue prospects of last July, when the plant was report. ed in most fattenng condition. At the time the reports were sent in the rams had just ceased, and the situation was viewed, doubtless, from a gloomy standpoint.
 Notwithstanding the reported damage to the growing crop the pros pective yield of the district as com pared with last year gives a promise of an increase.of 2l4 per cent. The averages by States are as follows

THE Alta Californian, answering the charge that a photograph has been taken for political use, showing empty seats on the democratic side sf the House, very appropriately re marks:
 "A companion picture might go out representing the ladies fleeing from the gallery to get out of hear. ing of the filthy speech of Mir. Can. non, of Illinois, and leaving the benches unified, which parliamen. tary poiteness dictates to their use. This picture should be followed by one representing the encounters be tween Mason and Cannon involving the use of blasphemy and black. guardian that are barred from any pig-stieking establishment n the country, and for uttering which on the public streets oi any city in the Union these two republican members would have been arrested and lock. ed up with the common theives. The flsticuh which followed between Beckwith and Wilson, should finish this panorama, and over all should be the legend: "The speaker de clines to even reprimand the actors in these disgraceful scenes."

It is now given out that he will make a list of ap. pointments of his own and let Mir. Breckinridge pursue the even tenor of his way unmolested.
