We heard a darkey remark yesterday that
after the September election the negro would
have as much show for jury service as the white
people. He has been allowing himself 70 pc
stuffed by some ones for Bean Winfrey will be
the next sheriff Of Crawford county.-Fenture.
Bean Winfrey will have but little to
do with selecting jurymen. F. r.
McKibben was one of the Jury Com
missioners appointed by Judge Evans,
and there was nothing to prevent il he
(McKibben) wanted negroes on the
next jury from they being there. The
fact is, very few white men want negro
juries.

receive a warm welcome. He will remove the
Times plant here sfter the eleetion.-Little Rock

IT is not to the credit Of the Republican
party of Van Buren, that the Arkansas
Times should be starved out The
Hammond Bros. have made a good,
clean Republican paper, on most too
high plane, however, for the

The hot dry weather of the past ten
OF fifteen days has virtually ruined what
was left Of the fruit crop In this
section. Many of the trees have shed
their leaves and what fruit Is on them
IA shrivelling up. The same Is the case
with late grapes. Cotton has also
suffered severely.
From parties who have travelled
through this State and portions OF
Texas we learn that crops are mucn
better in this section than almost any
other place south Of here. From
