In selecting u camping place Mr.. Beard
cormsels the selection of u spot which
''gives the finest possible view of noun
tains, lakes or rivers, even If some
inconvenience must be suffered in the
selection. The camp must be dry and
we'll drained. SO that in case of sud
den storms there will be no danger
of the water flooding the tents, wet
ting the bedding or spelling the food.
A gentle sloping ground is best Avoid
locating in the track or below the
mouths Of Innocent looking gullies or
ravines, that may, in case of rain, be
developed into torrents of muddy wa
ter, and sweep the camp like cloud
burst. A supply cf pure water contrib
utes as much to the enjoyment Of the
campers as to the preservation of
health. Common sense will direct that
the camp be selected within easy reach

CROPS AND WEATHER
OPTION DETERI0RATING.
Crop is Below an Average. and is Little ifany Better Than Last
 Year Generally.

LITTLE Roek, Sept. 1.-The mean temperature has averaged degrees above the normal and practically no rain has fallen except in few widely scattered localities, the greatest amount of the week being ?. inches at Fort Smith.
 Cotton has continued to deterior- ate rapidly during the past week; the hot. dry winds and absence of mois- ture has caused the top bolls to wither and drop off and to force open boils that are not fully develop ed. The uplands have suffered more than the bottoms, but in all sections theerop has been materially reduced. In some localities in the uplands the crop is a total failure. Cotton is opening very rapidly and picking is general, but is too hot to work dur ing the middle of the day. In many localities one picking will clean up the crop. If general rain should fall within a day or two it would benefit the crop in some localities, but generally there will be no top crop. The crop is below an average and is little if any better than last year generally.
 Corn is being gathered and is turn ing out 1ery poor crop, the ears not being well filled, and grain shriy- eled.
 Peas, pastures, potatoes, and gardens are very poor, but rain would revive them and rain is much needed for stubble breaking and fall blowing.

 s'It is resolved that the Secretary of the Board of Health be and is hereby directed to notify all trans portation lines entering Ftne Bluff that hereafter and until further notice, under no circumstances will they be allowed to discharge any passengers or article of merchandise of any description, whatsoever, from New Orleans or any post or station infected with yellow fever. A failure on their part to strictly observe this order will result in forcing this board to prohibit such lines from stopping
 
 or discharging freight or passengers from other points. This order takes effect at once. The Mayor is hereby ordered to see that this order is faithfully obeyed by placing ofhealth officers upon all incoming trains for the purpose of inspection and to see that no person is allowed to get off trains at Pine Bluff from any yellow fever infected point under no circum- stances, and for no other points where parties reside beyond the State unless accompanied by proper health certificates.

CENTRAL SECTION.

The temperature has averaged de- grees per day above the normal, and no rain has fallen except in Garland and Hot Springs counties, where light showers occurred on the 9th and 10th.
 Cotton is still further deteriorated; the high temperature and lack Of rain has caused the plant to wilt and shed very badly on the uplands. Crop conditions worse every day as the season progresses. Nearly two thirds of crop now open. Picking general, but too hot in middle Of day for work. In Jefferson county worms are now webbed up but will completely strip stalks of all remain ing growth in next two weeks. Top bolls are drying up, and this with premature opening of bolls will ma terially decrease the yield. Rain now would do but little if any good to cotton.
 Corn is being gathered and is q very poor crop.
 All late garden crops are a failure, but rain would be of great benefit to these minor crops.
