STRANGE INFATUATION.
Young White Man Wants to Marry a
Black Negro Woman.

The Poplar Bluff Republican de-
tails the following story which is
stranger than fiction:
A marriage license was issued last
night to B. A, Lunsford and Pauline
Slaughter. Lunsford is a white man,
22 years old, and has recently been
working as brakeman on the St. T.,
M. & S. E. railroad, and was also
extra conductor, having made his
last trip as conductor on April Z.
The woman is negress of pro-
nounced type, and is known as Luz
retta Henderson. The young man is
of dark complexion but does not look
to be q colored man. He has a
father and sister living alHarviell,
and theyare known to several Of osr
citizens and are considered as white
people. The fellow claims to have
negro blood in his veins, and says be
can prove it by his sister, Maude
Lunsford Of Harviell. The couple
did not get married last night, but
were still CARRYING 'around'ths ficense
unused this forenoon. They were ar
rested by Capt. Miles, and taken be-
fore Prosecuting Attorney Hill, but
were released, as no offense had vet
been committed: Lunsford says his
father is running saw mill at Har-
Well. The woman is a notorious
police character of this city, and last
night while looking for some one to
tie the knot they stopped near the
Henderson avenue crossing and the
bride elect proceeded to heave up an
over indulgence Of bad booze. The
groom-to be was asked If bis future
better rs was not sick, he replied
-no, she is drunk. - Bert
Lunsford, the would-be benedict, is
a son Of Ripley Lunsford, who is a
respected citizan Of Beaver Dam
'ownship. The young man seems to
be 'off in the upper deck" and de-
clares he will marry the negress or
die in the attempt. He says the only
thing that is keeping him from get
ting married at the present is the
fact that he has not the price to pay
the preacher.

Col. John Fletcher, Of Little
Rock, Makes Flattering
Prediction.
Good Stands are Coming Up-Plenty
of Labor-verY Fine
Season..

Col. John Fletcher, of Little Rock,
is confident that the cotton crop this
wear will be big one and far ex-
ceed that of 1901. Not only are the
conditions very favorable, but the
acreage is larger ttan usual.
Col. Fletcher says:
1.-The most conservative estimates e
hv those who have made the cotton
crop q study for years, based upon
reports received from dcorrespon.
dents, are that there is an increase
in acreage this year OF about per
cent in the state. The season thus
far has been much better than last
year, lin fact it could not have been
better. Upon normal basis Of aloo 1el
the condition now is placed at about
no. The spring has been fully az
average one for planting, and the
weather has been extremely iavor-
able. Good stands are coming up,
requiring no replanting on the
bottoms or the uplands. AS rule
the farmers are working out their
crops and putting them in good
shape. The plant is fully one week
to ten days earlier than it was last
wear. and some of the planters pre-
dict blooms by June 10. Too much
rain is frequently the cause OF
trouble at this season, bat this year
there seems tohave been just enough
an the right time, coming just as the
farmers wanted it. ANY movement
that may have been suggested as 10
cutting down the acreage OF the
stanle GEMS to have been ignored,
and unless all signs fail the Arkan-
sas crop viii be the largest ever
raised. The supply of labor IS per-
fectly satisfactory, and planters eX'
narience much less difficulty than
last year in securing enough me-
to care for the crop properly
Where the tenant farmer has been
unaole to supply himself for the
making OF The crop, his landlord has
furnished him, and this feature OF
the situation will have very little'
if any, bearing upon the crop IL
general. There are now lands that
were in cultivation last year lying
idle this year, and much new lano
has been taken in, Higher tcmpera-
tures, in many cases bordering upon
extreme SPINNER heat, with fairly
well distributed rains, have been
the characteristics of the past week,
and all crops have been greatly
benefited thereby

Lost Their Drill.

DR.. J. S. Parker, who is one OF the
directors in the Lake City Oil,& In
vestment Co., is 10 receipt Of a lebsa1
from DR.. j. L. Sancomb, ans4her di-
rec or, stating thai bring had
stopped on account of losing the
drill. This company started ont some
time ago to drill for oil, after buying
the machinery, and DR.. Sancomb
writes that they have reached
dep.h Of 800 feet. At. this depth,
the rope broke and the drill was lost.
The local company is still at stand
still on account Of having no casing.
The order for new casing was placed
six weeks ago and has not yet been
filed. Secretary Meiser says every
letter he gets from the casing manu-
facturers says it will be shipped
in a few days.

launching our oil COON, but when.
she does come we'll whoop things.

Murphy ~ Co.'s stock Letter.

New York, Oct. 30.-The market con-
tinued extremely dull. Support was
extended at opening on the theory that
the market was oversold and entitled
to substantial rallies. The room trad
ers for the first hour were disposed to
cover shorts. Denials of gold exports
in the near future was a favorable in
fluence. Later in the day the market
hesitated, pending the result of
the st. Paul directors meeting,
at which it was expected action on
new stock disposition would be taken.
St. Paul showed strength, selling UP
rs, gain from yesterday of over
per cent. Missouri Pacific sold up
nearly 2 per cent. from the lowest. and
the general market strengthened frac-
tionally. When it was announced that
the question of stock issue had rot
been discussed st. Paul receded y, but
closed. with a net gain of IN. The
rest of the list eased off in sympathy.
Missouri Pacific closed with a net gain
of rs. In other directions price changes
were irregular. Some minor issues
which were materially higher in early
afternoon broke in the late dealings.
Sugar scored a net gain of 13s on bet
ter trade reports. Colorado Fuel and
Iron was barely steady. Illinois Cen
trail, after early strength, lost it's en-
tire gain. The market closed quiet and
irregular, with speculative interest con-
siderably confused. Total sales, 364, 900
