Today it is cool and pleasant with the thermometer around S2 degrees, but very dry and no indi- cation of change In this state we need light, warm rains in May and dry weather in June to give the crop a satisfactory start.
 Provisions are very high and at this time it is hard to estimate just what effect this will have on the final out turn of the crop We know it has re- duced the planting to some extent. but just how much will not be known until later
 If next month should be wet and unpromising a great deal more of these rented lands will be abandoned With notices posted everywhere.

WONDERFUL GROWTH
OF PINE BLUFF.
Single Shipment of 1,7oo Barrels of Sugar, Weighing 75o,ooo Pounds,
 Received by One Firm.

Few of the citizens of Pine Bluff re- alize the wonderful growth of the wholesale business of the city. The fact is the wholesale grocers hardly realize themselves how much the com bined wholesale business of Pine Bluff amounts to annually.
 While at the Iron Mountain depot Monday afternoon a Graphic repre- sentative's attention was attracted to long train of cars that had just arrived from the South MT. Harry N Atwood, local agent for the Iron Mountain railroad remarked to the reporter that the train consisted of tWenty-three car loads of fancy vel low clarified sugar approximating l.. a00 barrels or three quarters of a mil lion pounds. He said that all of the sugar was the property of one of the local wholesale grocery houses and that 1t was possibly the largest single consignment of fancy yellow clarified sugar ever shipped to this state. On further inquiry the reporter learned that the sugar was owned by the hammet Grocer company, and that it was the third consignment fancy vel. low clarified sugar that this firm had received since the new crop of sugar began to move. Considering that this market is very large consumer of granulated sugar, one must be i'm. pressed with the magnitude of these purchases of yellow sugar
 The reporter afterwards saw the manager of the Hammett Grocer con- pany and he stated that this lot of sugar was the finest fancy yellow clarified sugar, quantity considered that this house had ever purchased 'hat IL was made on the Luckland plantation in Bayou Tesche, in South- ern Louisiana. This large plantation IS owned by Dr. Henry J Sanders. one or the largest and best known sugar growers in that state.
 While 1t is generally conceded that Fine Bluff is the best business point Tn Arkansas, yet locally the people here do not realize the wonderful growth of the business in this city within the last few years. Yet there IS reason for this growth, and when the advantages of the city are consid- cred on account of it's geographical position and it's natural environments no one need be surprised, being situat- ed as 1t is at the head of low water navigation, and in the midst of tho most fertile section of the entire 1 South

VICIOUS ROOSTER
ATTACKS LITTLE CHILD OF MIR.
 A. r. WHITELAW.
And Before It Could Be Driven Off the Child Was Badly
 Injured.

Had 1t not been for the timely ar rival of MT. A. T. Whitelaw in the rear yard of his home Monday after noon his little two-year-old daughter, Minnie Lee, would have doubtless been seriously injured by large rooster, which was kept as pet around the Whitelaw home. The lit tie child was in the yard playing when the big fowl attacked her, flying into her face and knocking her to the ground. The rooster then proceeded to spur the child in the face and peek it about the head MT. White law had just reached his home from down town when he heard the screams of the little one He hurried to the baby's assistance and frighten- ed the vicious fowl away The little girls face was covered with blood and badly lacerated Her head was likewise injured and one eye lid split open. Medical attention was given the child and she is doing nicely to- day.
 Just what caused the big rooster to attack the child is not known. The bird is possibly the largest one of it's kind in the city and when standing erect is almost as tall as the victim of it's vicousness.

OFFICERS HOT ON HIS TRAiL

Governor Jeff Davis has offered a reward of $100 for the capture an,, conviction of Governor" Woolfo1x the negro who shot and killed Niehf Watchman Pickett in this city ono week ago.
 Woolfolk is supposed to be still iu thls state, and it is said by those who clalm to know that the officers in the lower end of Jefferson county are hot on his trail
 The theory continues to be ad Kanced that Woolfolk is probahfr dead those holding to that view aITeq- Ing that he may have been fata1lv wounded while swimming Old river to escape arrest. However, the gen eral oppinion is that Woolfolk is alive and uninjured, and that he will soon be run down
 As the passions of the people here. nave had time to cool down consid. erably, 1t is not believed now that Woolfolk would suffer any violence at the hands of mob if brought here when arrested.
