Gloomy Prospects.

A correspondent to the Ar kansas Democrat has the follow ing to say regarding the condition of the farmers in the section of Mammoth Spring:
 The prospects for a crop for the coming year were never SO gloomy as at present. Scarcely any of our people have any feed at all :, and what is worse a startling number of the people have not the actual necessaries Jf life. Let the season be ever so propitious, the crop for the year 1902 in this part will necessarily be light. Many predict that as whole there cannot be raised more than what would usually be termed one-f fourth of crop. However, some place it higher but the most sanguine do not place the pros poets under the most favorable season at more than one- half crop. Verify, North Arkansas was never in such plight before. and it is to be hoped that many years will elapse before recur- renee of 1901.
