Crop prospects are indeed gloomy.
Prof. Honea's school at Laneburg

Another very heavy and damaging
rain fell here on last Thursday.

quite a seige Of sickness lasting
through many weeks, is convalesing
once more.
To date MAY lst) less than half
of the cotton crop hercabouts has

planting corn. Hundreds OF acres

Who would wonder at the farmer be-
ing respondent?
An effort was made the last of the
past week to fix the Carouse levee
by filling up the bad places with
sawdust but after hauling three or
four loads it was given up as inpos-
sible at present, owing to the very
bad condition of roads.
An unusually large audience were
out to hear Bro. Erwin Sunday.
Several who are not accustomed to
attending services here, were pres
ent. Mcssrs O. S. Jones and Billie
Moore from Prescott and vicinity
were among this number.
Mr.. w. +. Sutton, who has been
residing for more than year in
Southern Texas, came back to the
home of bis youth recently, Like
others, l think he has found Ark
ansas to be the better home for the
average man. We welcome you
back, Willie.
! Uncle Johnnie Evans, who, with
his better half. is visiting their son,
Mr.. Jas. II. Evans, of Bradley coun-
", Ark. writes, that they are enjoy
ing good health and that he has been
having q fine time squirrel hunting,
but owing to water courses being too
high hasn't fished much, yet.
Mr.. Elijah Matthews has just had
well bored Oh his place which is
overlooking nicely at present and
should the flow prove permanent 1t
will add very largely to the value of
his already valuable farm. The par
ties who sunk Mr.. MS we'll are now
engaged on one to- Mr.. j. a. Mel
son.
1t having been reported that the
third party had made almost clean
sweep In the vicinity Of Rocky
Mound church interviewed one gem
tleman of that community, Saturday
who was reported to have fallen
and he assured me that as for him
self he would vote the Democrat
ticket, said he had allowed his name
to be put down as a member Of the
club in order to induce speakers to
come and enlighten his friends and
neighbors He told me farther that
a majority of the names on the roll,
so far, were that Of boys from - to
Is years of age.
From parties who were present at
Rocky Mound church Saturday
evening learn that our invincible
champion of Democracy, W. V.
Tompkins, made an able speech in
reply to Mr.. Jones TRADE OF abuse
against the principles of the true
peoples party. Many who had been
somewhat troubled over the action
of the Democratic Congressman in
voting against the consideration Of
the silver bill were satisfied of the
/ propriety Of their actions by the
clear forcble and convincing speech
Of Mr.. Tompkins. All that our peo-
/ pie need is education to keep them
from going into the third party.
We want teachers who are compe-
tent to teach, not fanatics, and one
idea men. No Democrat who will
investigate thoroughly for himself
the political situation will ever go
into the socalled Peoples party.
Coon Luck.
