 The ARGUS man was up the Valley Route the latter part of last week and all along the route the crops are said to be finer than for years. The corn crop is the largest ever raised, while every thing points toward the same for the cotton crop. The old ARGUS covers that territory thoroughly and if our merchants want this trade they will have to plant ads where the people can be reached in the ARGUS.
 The inhabitants of North Brinkley report a disastrous gale on Gibson's lake in the northern
 
 portion of the city, on Sunday afternoon last. Several steamers went down in the gale and the loss. of life (mosquitos) was con- siderable. The city dads should pour oil on the troubled waters at regular intervals and see to 1t that nothing is done to interfere in any way with their mosquito and ma laria incubator.
 Coming into the city on the Valley Route or Cotton Belt from the north, one of the most at tractive buildings in the northern portion of the city to attract the eye of the traveller is the new colored Presbyterian church now being erected i'll the Smith ad- dition. It is commodious and imposing frame structure of mod ern plan. The pastor, Rev. T.. c. Ogborne, who is recognized as one of our best colored citizens, is experimenting the erection of the church.
 It is related of the officials of q certain Dutch village that they ob- served grass growing on the dome of one of the public buildings, so a counsel was held to discuss plans for removing the grass. After a thorough discussion they decided that the best plan was to elevate a COW to within reach of the grass and let her eat it. We respectfully suggest that our city ditch diggers might find cows useful in remov- ing the water frpm that pond on Main St. It would save lot of time and expense in taking up the tileing as has been done hereto fore. Bring on the cows, they are needed just now.
