ONE of the features of the big bridge celebration at Memphis will be the illuminated historical sketch of Memphis on floats early at night, after which there will be brilliant display of fire works from the bridge and from floats in the river mirror ing the dazzling splendor of multi colored lights on the placid surface of the Father of Waters and illumi- mating the scene from shore to shore and from the mouth of Wolf river above the city to where the current of the Mississippi breaks on Presi- dents Island a mile below Jackson Mound. There is also an effort on foot to have the bridge brilliantly illuminated by electricity and train decorated with colored lights pass over while the pyrotechnic dis play is in progress. The occasion promises to be a grand success, and the attendance something stupend- ous. The committees are leaving no stone unturned for the comfort and enjoyment of visitors. The railroads offer reduced rates.

Permit me to say to the readers of the Fruit Grower, if your orchard is troubled with the supposed twig blight. you should cut of all wilted buds and leaves and burn them. In this way keep the tree well cleared of the affected limbs, as soon as they appear, and in two or three years your trees will be free from the in sect, which Is about one-third the size of the common corn wevil By examining the twigs when they begin to wilt you will find at the base Of the first second or third leaf. where 1t joins to the tender twig, q small hole about the size of needle: trace by splitting or cutting the twig and you will find the insect and generally from two to six eggs about the size of ant eggs. If you throw the infected limbs under the trees they viii come out and enter the buds on the tree again have tried this remedy and have found it to work suecessfully.-J. A. N, of Rus seIlyille, Ark. in Arkansas Fruit Grower.

Another Scheme

Fort Smith Times: Private ad- vices from Little Rock inform us of another scheme which the bosses in Little Rock, whose only interest in the Democratic party is measured by the amount of public plunder there is in it to them, are matching. We have been wondering for some time why the Arkansas Democrat has been so industrionsly circulat- ing it's opinion that Fishback can not poll as many votes as any other Democrat in the state, when every sensible man in the state, outside of Little Rock. knows that he will poll from 5000 to 10000 more votes than any other democrat in the state.
 It appears that these oft repeated silly predictions have an object. The scheme is to get up scare, and for fear of breaking up the party adopt the two-third rule at the coming con vention. The hope to get enough weak keed men in the convention, even though instructed for Fishback who will from fear of this silly rack ct agree to adopt the two third rule
 Let the Fishback men see that their delegates are instructed first, last and all the time, and that none but unfinchig friends of Fishback go as delegates or hold proxies.
 The first scheme of these bosses was exposed in the following resolu- tions of the Woodruff county club:
 FIGHT ON FIsHBAcK.
 Whereas. There seems to be a scheme on foot by the politicians to defeat the will of the people in their choice for governor by having fav- orites in each county get sham in structions in order to defeat the real choice of the people at the state con vention, by running in dark horse;" and
 Whereas, Col w M Fishback is evidently the choice of seventy five per cent of the people of Arkansas, therefore be it
 Resolved That such schemes should be frowned upon by all hon. est democrats.
 ,. That the dark horse" who lends himself to any such schemes, should be held in remembrance by the people of Arkansas ever after wards, even though, for the sake of the party, we should be compelled to swallow him at the next election.
 3. That for the sake of the dem ocratic party we suggest to the peo, pie all over the state to instruct for the man who is an ayowed candidate and to send none but honorable men to tbe various conventions be 1t further Resolved, That our Uncle Grover is our first, second and only choice for President of the United States. Resolved, That the secretary fur nish copy of these proceedings to each of our county papers and to the Gazettee and Democrat of Little Rock. F. E. +. JAMES, Pres.

Report From the Cotton States.

Bradstreet's report, giving the re- suit of inquiries in the cotton grow ing states, is of unusual importance. It shows that the financial condition of the planters is worse than it was one year ago, but there are hopeful signs of reeuperation from the pres ent depression. All the signs point to a decreased acreage of cotton and what is still more hopeful replies to inquiries almost universally declare that larger acreage than ever be- fore will be planted to corn, oats and other cereals, potatoes, peas, rice and tobacco and that hog and cattle rais- ing will receive more attention. It is in this diversitieation of industries that we see the most cheerful sign. It is only when the price of cotton is unusually high that the planter can prohtably devote all his energy and capital to raising cotton. At the prevailing prices of the staple it is almost criminal waste and folly to depend wholly upon his cotton crop and purchase supplies which with far less cost he might produce himself.
 Factors and store keepers have al most universally cut down the ad yances, of money and supplies from 25 to 90 per cent; and while this may seem hardship the result will most probably be good in enforcing economy in production and making improvidence impossible

 Fort Smith Times: As to the Files vote, when the Hot Springs delegation came up for Sumpter they soon saw the the situation and start ed the rumor that Breckinridge and Fishback had pooled interests. The vote indicates that it took effect in a few places. Center township for in stance, which boiled such a large vote for Files. This is the case in Sugar Loaf and Dayton.

 Ed. E. D. Landers will preach at Liberty Grove school house Sunday night, May &
 Last Thursday night the Rev. T. N C., better known as the doubting Thomas. with his little book Ma tional Salvation. according to pre- vious appointment, visited our peaceful community. Ten of our boys. after blowing O. following some other kind of farm labor all day. went to hear the Rev T. M. C. preach-not SD much to hear his sermon. but for the sake of seeing their best girls.-but on arriving at the school house they found there was not q lady present The ten l0) boys lay lazily around on the bench es when Thomas. taking the stand, prepared to deliver his address, Ar kansas Redeemed by announcing i his text, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, ' Psa. 33:12. But before he had proceeded far sev- en of the tired, sleepy boys were fast asleep, and there only three left to hear the doubting Thomas pour forth in thunder tones his poisonous ] doctrine of the third party He said .God has two signboards; one says: Elect good, honest men to fill your offices. "-bnt the sleeping crowd did not catch the words of the other. We presume. from his talk, that he would like to be elected to an office. but if we follow the direc- tions of that signboard, we can nev- CT elect him. It was quite difficult to tell which was making the more noise, the Rev. NJ. C. or the sleeping boys. The boys that were awake say it was right interesting to try to draw contrast between the two and see if we could tell which was making the more noise and which was the more beneficial to us-the 1 political sermon or the snoring boys We finally decided that it was about equal After about one and one half hours of difficult labor with the boys, he decided that he was neither gaining their favor nor attention, so he closed his discourse, said the ben edietion, dismissed his crowd, took his little book National Salvation, and jourenyed onward, hoping that he would soon find a congregation who would give him their attention. The boys rubbing their half-closed eyes, departed for their several plae- es of abode saying We are straight out democrats or republicans-no third party about us. We will new CT go to hear him pour forth his i'm petuous doctrine again
