was in type before it WAS known that
La Junta would celebrate. More notice
would have been given La Junta's cele.

OF such all observance reached us just
before going to press and space was not
available. We would like to have ad-
vertised La Junta's 4th extensively in

the above Illnatured criticism but found

Crops and Weather.

Following is summary of the crop re-
mort. for the week ending August 22d
Generally light and scattered showers
occurred during the week. The tenn
nerature was not SO high as last week.
but the weather was too hot and orv
for the growing crops. Cotton needs
rain in all sections and has been al
ready seriously damaged in some Sec
tons for want of rain. The bolls are
beginning to open in many places,
while in some localities picking has
begun. In the southwestern section of
the state, the extreme hot weather and
lack of rain has cut the cotton crop
short. In some counties half a crop
will not be made. Late corn not doing
well on account of continued dry and
hot weather. Late potatoes not coming
up to good stand. In many places the
seed rotted in the ground.
The mean temperature and total rain
fall for the week at reporting stations
are given in the following taple:

Ed Wright, colored, arrested as q
suspect in the assault cases at Little
Rock, was not released as at first re-
ported, but was spirited out of the city
and kept away for few days to pre-
vent possible lynching. At his pre-
liminary trial, Mrs. Kennedy, one of
the FIVE ladies assaulted, positively iden-
tilted Wright as her assailant. None
Of the other victims were able to ap-
pear in court, being more seriously in
jured than at first reported. Wright
was bound over to the grand jury, and
1t is probable special term of court
will be called to try him. The officers
have in custody four other suspects,
who will be given hearing as soon as
the other victims are able to attend
court.

Expressive Americanism.

"When l go over to the old country
am going to get a lot Of clothes to bring
back with me-" said q well-knOwn
Windsorite, who went abroad recently.
"Oh," said his hearer, ''if that IS the
case, / have brother who is a tailor
in London, and will give you letter
of introduction, and write him telling
him to use you right"
In course of time the traveller step
ped into the tailor shop in London and
presented his letter Of introduction.
He got a warm handshake from the
tailor, who said he had received letter
from his brother telling Of the travel
er's expected arrival, but could not un-
derstand part of the letter. The letter,
when produced, read;
"Dear Brother: The bearer, Mr.. -,
is from our place and wishes to get 8
lot of clothes in London. He has all
sorts Of money. Soak him. Yours
affectionately."
The part Of the letter that could not
be understood was the concluding
phrase. The traveller, Of course, un-
derstood the Americanism, but manag-
ed to keep his face straight while he
gave it a favorable construction. He
saved the laugh until he could have it
on his American friend.-ChicagO Inter
