cANTALouPEs BY BOAT LOAD.
steamer Myrtle B." Engaged In the
 Melon Traffic.

A suesmboat discharging cargo of freight at the Van Buren wharf is of a very rare occurrence, yet such scene could have been witnessed at the foot of Main street early yesterday morning had one Leen in that vicinity, says the Van Buren Argus.
 At an early hour yesterday morning the steamer Myrtle B. touched at our wharf, and at once began unload ing 400 crates of ''Arkansas Traveler'' cantaloupes for shipment to eastern markets. The cargo was quickly trans ferred to Kansas City fruit express ear. aud in a short time after the boat had landed the car was en route to it's destination.
 The cargo of cantalonpes belonged to George T. Williams, of the Fort Smith Elevator, who, not being satisfied with running one of the best weeklies in the state, has tried his hand at horti- cultural pursuits to such an extent that he has ninety five acres of fine cantaloupes, last nights shipment being the first made by him.
 His cantaloupe farm is near Lavaca on the Sebastian county side of the riv- CT, and owing to it's inaccessibility to a railroad point it was decided to ship them to Van Buren and then transfer them to rail at thls point is thought that the steamer will make a round trip between here and Mir. Williams farm every twenty-four hours. - Gazette.

..Robo counsil Dead.

R. M. Council, the well known painter who resided here almost since the starting of the town, and who moved to Texarkana several months ago, is reported to have met with hard luck and violent death. It appears that he became insane and was sent to an asylum, and on getting out or being released returned to his home. He then wandered away and was missing for two days, and was found in the woods near Texarkana with his head crushed and was taken home and buried.
