Grnns and N aalher.

The crop report issued by the Little Rock weather bureau for the week ending August 29th shows that during the week the weather continued hot and dry, although showers occurred in some localities on the 25th and 27th. At Little Rock and Malvern there was a very heavy rain and thunderstorm on the 25th and Newport on the 27th. All crops have been seriously injured by the continued drouth especially in the southwestern section. In most sections cotton continues to shed and is opening prematurely. Picking has commenced in most sections, but. on account of the extreme heat, is not general. Late corn will be almost an entire failue in some sections, while in others it would be saved by rain in the near future. Second crop of potatoes almost total failure, on account of the continued drouth, which has caused the seed to rot in the ground. Apple crop re- ported short in all sections; in some localities they continue to rot and dry on the trees
