Friend Painter-Ihave beeen intend
ing for long time to write you about
my grove, as you took quite an inter-
est in it two years ago. My trees have
not had a pound of any kind of fertil-
izer since TWO years ago last Novem-
Der, when they had about fifty (5O)
pounds of your "Simon Pure No. 1,
and yet they look as well Or better
than any have seen. To show you
what other people think about it: a
man who put in some buds said to me
about two weeks ago, "Your grove
looks better than any I have been in
this year." Last January as I was
driving home I met a friend and the

Dear Sirs:-I have been expert

your fertilizer used at ST. Petersburg,
and would like to try it here. There
is about 1000 acres of grove being
brought up here, all has been budded,
and thinkif your fertilizer does as well

The Pot Roils.

The leayen appears to be working
and the stamp business is said already
to have borne some fruit of discord. 1t
is claimed that when the agent can
vassed the merchants he. in some cases
at least, represented that the scheme
did not design to include certain ar
ticlcs named, where the price was al
ready so low that there was scarcely s.
five per cent. profit left. 1t was evi.
dent to the merchants that they could
not give away this slender margin and
pay legitimate expenses. Several
claim to have signed on the under
derstanding that there would be ex-
emptions on these goods, also or
special sales" where no amount If
profit was realized by the dealer. 1t
appears that no such exemption was
provided for in the contract they
signed. AS scarcely any OF the n1cr-
chants retained duplicate or COPY OF
the contract, the true state Of affairs
was not at once discovered. The drug
gists have. since realizing the situa-
ton, strenuously objected to allowing
or giving stamps on sales of pa
tent or proprietary goods where the
margins are already infinitesimaly
small, but what were they to do being
in a box and the key turned. the man

From Des Arc.
Des Arc is on a boom at present.

Des Arc is on boom at present.
+. W. Graves is putting in a one
thousand dollar planer, which will
dress 10000 #. daily. He has a
special rate for all points on the Iron
Mountain railroad. He will ship all
his yellow pine from his mills at Keen
er and Gads Hill. He is also getting ten
or twelve thousand feet of logs every
day for his saw mill. This will give
work to, at least. fifty men all told. But
one bad feature in this boom is, wages
get no better, while provisions, cloth
ing, aud shoes are coming up every
day, which makes it very hard on the
laboring men. One consolation is that
they can get work every day even at
a low price.
The corn crop down around Des Arc
is very poor. Not more than half a
crop; below here it is fine. The hay
crop, however, is good.
Judge John Alcorn sowed one bush
ell of millet and cut 5000 lbs. of hay,
for which he sold at Vulcan for so cts.
