clone Davis had all the wind knocked
out of him here last week by Hon. II.
G. McRae. Davis is only trying to
help Carnahan aid Whipple "material-
ly, indirectly and made no converts
in this county, and the Peoples party
here are very weak, numerically. The
Democrats are all in line. Judge Van

RATHER GLOOMY.
THE CONDITION OF CROPS NOT
so VERY FAVORABLE.
Report of Hill, Fontaine & Co. Too
Much Rain in the Gulf
States.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 22.-Taken as
whole the crop is not so favorable as
n week ago. The weather was report
ed more favorable in Texas, Arkansas
and Tennessee. Too much rain in the
Gulf States east of the Mississippi. Re-
ports from Mississippi and Alabama
are rather gloomy, The Texas crop
favorable, with considerable appear
ance of worms in different localities.
A year ago the bears declared that cot
ton could not advance because the poor
of Europe were starving for bread, and
wheat in st. Louis was excited and &C
tive at $l.0l per busheL To-day this
same wheat is selling for 694. cents,
and we are informed that the freight
on barrel of flour from this city to
Europe is about IS cents. This is low
er than to many of the interior points
in the South, so the poor of Europe
have no cause to complain for want of
bread and unjust freight rates from
their American brothers. During all the
great decline in cotton for the past
few years, we failed to find any mark
ed reduction in freight rates from
local stations in the South to centers;
in fact, we are paying about the same
rates to-day on cotton that we were
when cotton was worth from $50 to
$40 per bale.
We are informed by the wholesale
dry goods trade that cotton goods are
very active, and all changes made of
late have been advances in most class
es of cotton goods, and buyers here
tell us that they are paying about the
same prices for manufactured cotton
goods that they were when cotton
was ten to eleven cents per pound
These facts go to show that while the
poor of Europe are blessed with cheap
bread and cheap freights, the Southern
people have reaped nothing in the way
of benefits from all changes made;
that while they are selling their cotton
at about about two-thirds Of its value
two years ago, they are taxed with the
same freight rates, and when they
buy clothes for their children they get
none of the benefits of the decline in
the raw material.
Our patrons will notice great adj
vance in provisions and especially
lard, but we have not heard of any
advance in the raw material from
which large proportion of the $50
called lard" is now produced; we mean
cotton seed. A few years ago it was
profitable to the planter, for he got
something near its value, say about
S14 per ton. We are told by the
planters that "they now get offers of
81 and $50 per ton from the Oil Trust
combine, provided they will be polite
about it and pull off their hats when
they visit their officers, and accept
first offer quick"
Liverpool opened and closed firm
at 1854 advance on contracts and 1.16d
advance on spots. New York opened
higher, but closed easy for contracts,
at about two points lower than yes
terday.

party will be successful in this cam
paign, and we will have Whipple for
the next Governor of Arkansas.
Don't organize the negroes into Peo-
pies party clubs, as we learn that
some of the members of your party
have been endeavoring to do, but
work all the Democrats that you can
into your party. Leave the negroes
to vote the Republican ticket, for
State officers, of course. We don't
care to NEEDLE with your county

mighty, am lostl Oh, day of judg- ment, I am lost! Oh, father, mother, brother, sister. child in glory, I am lostr And then as the tide goes out your soul goes out with it-farther from God, farther from happiness, and hear your voice fainter and fainter and fainter, "Losti Lost! Lost! Lost! Lostp O ye dying, yet immortal menl Seek the Lord while he may be found"
 But I want you to take the hint of the text that have no time to dwell on the hint that there Is time when he cannot be found. There was man in this city, eighty years of age, who said to a clergyman who came in, Do you think that man at eighty years of age can get pardoned?" "Oh, yes," said the clergyman. The old man said: II can't; when was twenty years of age-I am now eighty years-the spirit of God came to my soul, and felt the importance of attending to these things, but I put it off. I rejected God, and since then have had no feeling" Well" said the minister, wouldn't you like to have me pray with your' "Yes," replied the old man, "but it will do no good. You can pray with me if you like to-"
 The minister knelt down and prayed, and commended the mans soul to God It seemed to have no effect upon him. After awhile the last hour of the mans life came, and through his delirium a spark of intelligence seemed to flash, and with his last breath he said, '.1 shall never be forgiveny' 70 seek the Lord while he may be found."
