compelled to plant more corn than usual. This time last year. every farm and plantation had plenty of corn and to spare, which stimulated them into planting large acreage of cotton. The situation is quite different this year; corn is cheap at B cents, but TO planter can afford to buy it even at this price and make cotton at64 cts.
 More attention is being paid to the improvement of cotton in this district than ever known before; planters generally are disgusted with the Peterkin staple, and if we have favorable weather in July and August, our staple vii. be very greatly improved.

Gymnasium ReeeptLon

The gymnasium exhibition at the Merrill Institute last night was a success tn every particular.
 The gallery was crowded, the peo- pie were pleased, and the partici- pants did thoroughly creditable and satisfactory work
 The work of junior class is al ways pleasing and the little fellows on the floor last night surprised and delighted the spectators, both in their fancy marching and their work on the horse. Many of them do turns in the air which would do credit 10 . circus performance and in many faats show surprising fam iiiarily with iAe apparatus.

This class promises to furnish some thoroughly tirst-elass gymhasts an1 tumblers next winter, aud on ex hibition given at that time will, pe doubt, show some fascinating work by these young men.

lI TIE FARMERS,
. ALEXANDER & co. HAVE A FEW WORDS TO SAY.
r,sv Urge the Cotton Growers to
 Plant an Improved Grade.

q DINE BLUFF ARR, MARCH 30, '97
 HEAR SIR:-Enclosed we hand you 2 Alexander x Cos weekly crop Utter 10 their New England and iyerpool friends, and trust that .on will find it interesting. We lesire to call your attention to the necessity of improving the staple of your cotton; we keep in touch with he manufacturers and know what wanted. Ten years ago none of mr cotton was shorter staple than 16 to 1B-inch, while the majority sit was k to 1 3-16, and is now re erred to by the buyers andmanufac turers as the old time cotton. Mr. peterkin has ruined our staple and damaged the character Of Arkansas cotton very much. We can count
 on our fingers those raising exclu-
 siyely heavy Bender cottons in this
 6 trict. and such crops are we'll
 snow in Liverpool, New York and
 New Orleans. It was our pleasure
 to handle some of these crops and
 we will give you the names and ad dresses Of the planters who grew them, also the prices received, com mred with Peterkin cotton sold at the same time, and trust that you Fill plant seed equally as good:
 "Geisreiter Improved grown by Capt. s. Geisreiter of Pine Bluff; this crop brought 74e when spot bottom in New York was quoted at 7!e and Peterkin was selling on our streets to Gle.
 W. ]. Levy of Wabbaseka plants Moon seed; he got 74c for his en tire crop including tinges and spot ted; only one buyer taking Peterkin at this time
 T. M. Phillips of Althimer plants Phillips Choice;s he got 65c for his entire crop a few weeks ago, and Peterkin middling in g ade hard to sell at 6sc.
 The "Chalmetteo crop is grown by Col. J. ". Corcoran of Pine Bluff and is from the Osier seed; it sold last Thursday for ' 5-8c on a dull market with the air full of war ru mors, while Peterkin drags around 6sc.
 MT. E. T. Wilkins of Pine Bluff, plants "Moon" and always gets from l to lzc over Peterkin; the premium over short staple cotton is s to $7 per bale. Peterkin cotton falls out of the boil if not picked promptly; this causes dust in the cotton and makes it very undesir able.
 The following geh tlemen have good seed and make fine Bender cotton: J. M. Oracle, of New Gas cony; Leo M. ndrews, of Pine Bluff; Major Busby, of Altheimer; MT. Lytle, of Altheimer; John Currie, of Pine Bluff; D. T.. Trimble of Pine Bluff, and Floyd Jarvis of Noble Lake. Write to any of the planters we have named and they will sell you fine seed free on board the cars at sl00O per ton.
