'.AQIkeI Reports.
LOCAL MARKET.

Cotton receipts yesterday reached about
lOO bales. The market was very firm
and quotations show a considerable ad-
vance over those of the day before. Els
little less than 100000 bales, and the
shortage is popping up prices. The mar
ket closed Yesterday very firm at quota
tons and it will not be surprising to see
Scent cotton in Austin today.
Grain and feed stuifs are quiet ut
quotations.
There is very little doing in hides and
the market is dull at prices quoted.
Good butter and eggs are scarce, and
This is especially true of eggs.
Beef cattle are slow sale at prices
quoted. Hogs are firm and prices are
evidently going to advance as the cool
weather comes on.

 Graves in the Arkansas River.

Sunday morning two young men, aged about 15 and Is years, respee- lively, sons of Esq. !. II.

NOT GNGRATEFuL.
Hon. Clay sloan for State
 Auditor.
From North Little Roel, News |


 EDITOR NEWs:-lt can never be truthfully said that the laboring people, as a class, are ungrateful, or ever forget favor or a friend in the hour of need. And this is peeu liarly so with railroad men. We all remember what time and what trouble we had during the last ses- sion Of the Legislature, in securing the passage of what was known as the Fellow servants bill. And neither have we forgotten the mem- bers of that body who stood by us through thick and thin, and es- pecially those who were the ablest and bo.dest in championing our cause-which was right and just. One of these was Senator Clay Sloan, of Lawrence county. He was eloquent, urgent and persist ent in securing the passage Of that bill. We now have most excellent opportunity of proving our grati- tude to the gentleman for his efforts in our behalf. He is now candi- date for State Auditor, and every railroad man, and every laboring man, in fact, should attend the pri- maries on Saturday, June 9th, next, and east their votes for the Hon. Clay Sloan. He is not only our friend, but he is man of sterling qualities and fine ability, and will make an honest and efficient officer. Let us make him know and feel that we appreciate his efforts in our be- half and recognize his valuable ser vices. A RAILROAD MAN. Argenta, Ark, May 20, 1896.
