A very pretty scene occurred Sat urday afternoon on Pine street b,'-
 tween Barraque street and Second
 avenue. Little Fred Dilley, the six
 year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Fred
 Dilley.was observed picking up some hay from near Anderson Meyers drug store and carrying it to pair of horses hitched to the wagon of a conntryman near Gillespie & Bro $ store. The horses were eagerly lick | ing the bricks of the sidewalk in which a large quantity of salt had been absorbed. Young Mir, Dilley accosted a passerby with these

PINE BLUFF, ARK, Aug. 20th.
 DEAR SIRs:-The past two weeks have made decided change in the crop situation throughout this terri tory. In our last report dated the 9th inst, we stated that a season Of warm dry weather would about put us out of danger; since that time however w9 have had very heavy rains in most parts of the state and unusually cool nights. The effect ca the crop is now becoming appare1t and alarming, complaints are gen. eral and of a serious character; whole fields are turning yellow and throwing of blooms and fruits, and extensive damage from rust is re- ported A number of large plan nters near Pine Bluff are being hurt con siderably by worms.
 One large planter in this district who mads over 1 ,20l bales last year, says that bis crop will be cut off at least 9 per cent. Many other farmers who were enthusiastic a short time ago are now taking gloomily about the prospect.
 Very truly yours
 5. U. ALEXANDER & Go.

the sentiments of the Democrats of the county on every hand. The in yestigation of the returns show who is the nominee for Sheriff. Are Maj. Mccoy and his adherents afraid to have the frauds in the late primary, perpetrated in Me Coy's interest, exposed? as they will be exposed at the proper time aud before the proper tribunal. No, Mr. Brewster has been honest ly and legally nominated by the Democrats of Jefferson county for Sheriff, and all efforts to defeat him of his well-earned victory, so stub bornly won, at this late hour will prove fruitless. No rew primary in the contested townships will be necessary. We repeat, the returns, when purged of their notorious frauds, will show who is the hon. est nominee for Sheriff.

THH Press. .Eagle claims Maj Me Boy's nomination for Sheriff by a plurality of forty votes. In this estimate the Press Eaole counts ahirty,nine votes fop Mccoy in Melton township; ninety-three at ahe Redfeld ballot box and twenty one at the Kearney box in Barraque Township. McCoy's total vote in Barraque township, as reported the night after the primary, is ninety 1hree votes-sevent ty-two at the Redfeld box and twenty-one at the Kearney box. In Melton township Inc afidavits of those who voted show Brewster received eight votes, Mccoy six; Phillips thirty-four and Philpot five votes. The Press Eagle in these two townships alone makes the mistake of count ting the hearney box twice and giving Me Coy thirty-nine votes from Melton, which are shown to be fraudulent,

The Silver Lining

The Shreveport Times reproduces the following from the pen of Mr.eR H. Edwards. editor of the Manufac- turer's Record of Baltimore:
 What change the war will bring about in trade expansion at home and abroad can searsely be compre- hended now. First, it means a great navy and great mercantile marine, taxing for years to come the utmost capacity of every ship yard-two things alone which are of inealculable value to our business interests; . the construction pwith the ut most speed, of the Nicaraguan canal, under Amer ican co ntrol, and to the south this canal will annually add greater wealth than it's entire cost; the development of Cuba, and by good san itary measures the practical elimination of the danger to the south from that country of yellow fever; the establishment oi coaling stations in the Pacific and the con trol of a large part of the trade of the eastern world"

A .Fair2,. Pronositior.

Maj. Mccoy is out with a propo- sition in this mornings Prsss EaJ Jle in which he proposes to Mir. Edgar Brewster to hold another primary, in the contested townships of Boli- var, Bogy and Melton. This the Press Eagle is pleased to call far proposition. We should like to see where the fairness comes in. Maj. Mccoy and his adherents have proven themselves princes of elec- tion returns and ballot box manip- plators, and what better treatment has Mr. Brewster to expect at their hands in a second than in a first primary. Mr. Brewster now has his nomination already won. The Investigation of the charges of fraud in the townships of Bolivar and Melton alone-an inves tigation conducted in the presence of the contestant and contestee and their attorneys-shows eonelusively that Mr. Brewster is the honest and le- gal nominee of the Democrats of Jefferson county for Sheriff in the primaries held on May ', 1898. This proposition" is the death bed struggle of the Mccoy men, who, in their desperation, are ready to grab at any straw that promises a longer tenure of office. They have been fairly defeated by

to extend the line to tl1is town instead
Of having the terminus at Benton STA

do this they ask the town to allow
them to cross the bridges. II permis-

other two can be put into condition to

the move Is successful the Watervllle
