STATE CROP REPORT.
Gold Weather Retarded Growth Or All Crops-Fruit Prospects Not So Promising But Grain Indica-
 tiOns Are Favorable.

The forepart of the week ending June was characterized by unseaSon- ably low temperatures, moderatlng, however, during the latter part to more nearly normal thermal condi- tions The effect of these abnormal temperatures was to retard the growth of the crops. The heavy rains which were generally well dis tributed throughout the section during the week, interfered with farming op- erations. Cotton is in generally good condition, though grassy in some To- calities The growth was checked by the unusually low temperatures, which were, however, on the whole, beneficial, as the tendency of the crop was to go to weed. Corn continues in very good condition; some has been plowed the second and third time, and some of the early planted has been laid by. Wheat is generally Tn good condition and is ripening and heading out; harvesting has begun Tn a few isolated localities, but will probably be more general next week. Oats are ripening and heading out, the condition of the crop was some what improved by the rains, but har- vesting was delayed. Fruit, on the whole, is in fair condition, the out look for peaches, however, is some what less favorable than at the close of the preceding week, as some re ports of dropping and rotting have been received. The prospects for apples are not very promising. Po- tatoes are generally in good condi- tion, the yield is reported as fair to good; marketing is more general

STEAMER LIBERTY DELIVERED

The title of the steamer Liberty, over which there has been so much h litigation of late, was Wednesday morning, passed to John Hansler, the purchaser, for $4 400 under the recent sale by the United States District court, says the Memphis Scimitar. Marshal Thomas H. Baker delivered the bill of sale to MT. Hansler Wednes- day morning.
 It was reported at first that the Liberty might be put in the Mississippi river trade between Memphis and Vicksburg, but it now seems very probable that it will be placed in the Tennessee river trade and run either between Paducah and East Point, or Danville and East Point.
 MT. Hansler expects to take out H- cense and other papers for the opera tion of the boat in his own name i'm mediately.

FINE RAIN ENJOYED.

The rain of Tuesday evening, which proved veritable "gullY washer' in many parts of the county, has further brightened crop prospects, which are now without flaw. The rainfall at Newport was 1.24 inches and much lighter than at other nearby points.
 Elgin, Oil Trough and points east report very heavy rains, but at Brad ford, only slight shower was re- ceived. The rumor that John w. Ferrill's home at Batesville was struck by lightning cannot be substantiated and the Brinkley cyclone was another invention of the imaginative mind of the "hot air' man.

Newport weekly independent., 1902-06-06

Newport will secure a new passen ger depot of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain X Southern Railway Com pany. There is no longer a foothold of doubt upon which the cold water throwers, disorganizers and kickers may stand. The authority for the as sertion is based upon the orders of the General Manager Russell Harding, who in company with several other high officials of the road visited New port Thursday morning and awarded the contract of building the depot to Newport's we'll known firm of con- tractors, Stewart Brothers.
 The special train, carrying Russell Harding, general manager; William Cotter, general superintendent; T. E. Fisher, superintendent of bridges and buildings and J. G. Hartigan, super intendent of the Arkansas division with headquarters at Little Rock, ar rived at Newport at 9:33 a. m. from the South and continued on it's way at 10: 10 a. m.
 But this brief 37 minutes will play a prominent part in the upbuilding of Newport. Hardly so long time would have been spent here had it not been for the delay in finding MT. w. R. Stewart, whose bid for the con- struction of the building had been ac- cepted by the road.
 The coming of the officials had not been announced nor was the purpose of their visit at first known, but it did not take MT. Harding long to break the good news. He informed MT. Stew art, that after looking over the bids submitted, that of his firm had been accepted. The figure was $9,470, which did not include freight trans portation over the Iron Mountain for materials used, nor the steel and iron work needed in it's construction, which would have brought these fig ures to $12,24O. The latter sum is in reality to be the cost price of the de- pot, which is to be a pressed brick edifice 135 by 30 feet, Bedford and Carthage stone trimmings, slate roof, copper guttering and concrete floor ing, the specifications of which have been given in detail in previous issues of the INDEPENDENT.
 MT. Harding told MT. Stewart that he might begin work at once placing his orders for material, as a contract would be forwarded in a few days.
 The depot is to be completed by the middle of September and MT. liar ding expressed the hope to Mr. Stew art that the work might be of a high order as the road contemplated other Improvements of this character up and down the line within the next few years.
 Newport will have the only brick depot building on the Iron Mountain between Texarkana and St. Louis and it will be beauty, one in which every citizen may take pride.
 Iuo present. uepOU lS UO DS I0LlONou down the track, where the park now is, but will be torn down upon the completion of the new edifice. A number of citizens were there to meet Mir. Harding and the other officials, among them Colonel Minor, whom it seems, has promised to see that new three story hotel building takes the place of the Planters House, and just before leaving MT. Harding reminded the Colonel of this promise and said he proposed to hold him to it.
 The depot has long been needed and deserved too; nevertheless the people of Newport are very cordial in extending their thanks to the Iron Mountain officials for the improve .ment.
