sented before never has it been staged as

The Old Kentucky Home" in the big
plantation scene in the third act, while

PINE BLuFF. May 2S. 1S9e.

GENTLEMEN:-The crop in this State taken as a whole is doing we'll Some localities have been without rain for some time, and complaints of bad stands and damage from drouth are coming from such places. Parts of Chicot, Brady and Drew counties have been without rain for seven weeks.
 The excessive rains in the North ern Iart of the State did some damage and the Arkansas river is very high for this season of the year.
 Chopping. is about completed in the river districts, and some are going over their crops the second time. The hill country is not so far advanced All of the early planting is fine; it has squares and is about three weeks early, but throughout the State the crop is ten days to two weeks earlier than last year. We are told thatit is i've weeks from the time the squares appear until the bloom comes, and about the same time after the bloom until the boil natures. Ii this is true, picking will commence the latter part of August, and we will have a fair movement in September. This of course is dealing largely in the future.
 
 Last years experience is still fresh in our minds. Up to August the crop promised sA millions. and within 15 to 20 days it was cut A million bales. The July estimates were around Sh millions, and in October the statisticians lowered their ideas to 6A millions, but with u good picking season 6A might be reached Sentiment seems to fol- low cotton in all its stages. 1t is fascinating from start to finish and can promise more and return less than anything grown by the plan- ter.
 At present there seems to be senti- mental apprehension Ofan enormous production the coming season, but the chances are even for an average crop. The worms, rust, drouth and bad picking season are still in the future. and those figuring on 10 to 12 million bales are apt to be 1isap= pointed. Arkansas is in better shape than ever before and her people seem to be happy; they have plenty of every thing to eat and owe very little money. Yours respectfully.

A SMALL BLAZE.
A Warehouse Filled with Hay Partially Destroyed by Fire
 This Morning.

The iron-clad warehouse owned by J. II. Talbot & Co.,, located on the south side of their brick warehouse, on State street. was partially de- stroyed by fire about ' o'clock this, Thursday morning. The warehouse was filled with two carloads of baled prairie hay, most of which was destroyed or damaged by fire or water How the fire originated is mystery, butit is thought that the hay was ignited by spark blowing through the ventilator in the roof of the warehouse from an adjoining restaurant. Loss, about S250; no insurance.

TO PATCH UP DIFFERENCES.
Breach Between Two Great Patriotic Societies Adjusted and They
 Will Unite.

NEW YORK, May 2S.--As n result Of an important conference held at the Waldorf today it is considered more than probable that two great patri- otic societies, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Daugh- ters of the Revolution, will patch up their differences and unite into one body under one name. The breach between the two organizations which are so nearly alike in every way has been the cause of series of internal dissensions inimical to the best interests of each and consoli- dation of the two will be hailed with satisfaction by members of each society throughout the country.
