All the belles are laboring diligently preparing their Christmas surprises, etc. Therefore, we are un- able to chronicle many social events for the past week in our social col umns. The Ala Mode Whist Club was the only organization that as- sembled on their usual day. The week has been a very quiet one from a social standpoint, and it is largely due to the coming festivities that annually enthuse thesociety folks. This week will be one of the most noted of the social season, at least present indications point that way. Many grand balls, receptions, club meets, etc., are booked.

DESPITE CLIMATIC CONDl- TONS CROP WILL EQUAL
 LAST YEAR.
MAJOR W. H. HAYNES
Estimates That it Will Exceed 9OO,OOO Bales-Is Much Un- q
 picked in the Fields.

"The Arkansas cotton crop is She largest ever raised, said Major W. H. Haynes, agent of the Arkansas Cotton Oil Company. "This may be judged from the heavy receipts at the cotton market, despite the fact that unsatisfactory weather conditions prevented the larger farmers from saving their crop, many of them in the river valleys claiming that they have 40 to 65 per cent still in the field. This is one of the most remarkable crops ever produced in Arkansas, and would have been world-beater but for the climatic conditions preventing It's being saved. I estimate the to- tai for the South will go away be- yond 10,000,000 bales. The Arkan- sas total, even admitting losses in the fields, will about equal that of last year, which was something over 100000 bales. The seed crop this year has been of less value because of it's quality than any within my knowledge the last twenty-five years, great deal of it damaging in the boil before the cotton was picked out of the field. Prices in consequences have ruled low at all mill points. Had it been possible for all the seed and cotton grown to have been placed on the market, it is interesting to surmise what the result would have been. "-Arkansas Democrat.
