GOVERNMENT REPORT
 CREATED NO SENSATION.

The government cotton prediction, says T. H. Hutchinson, the manager of the Taylor Commission Company, speaking to reporter for the Little Rock Gazette was not the sensation when it was announced at the board of trade Wednesday at Il o'clock that it was year ago. Tn the latter case the bears became active at once, and the market fell 50 points immediately. Yesterday, however, the market fell only 20 points, and soon recovered twelve of them, the close being only ten points below the close of the day before. The government estimate was 10, AT ,O00, which was not far from what the average estimate in Little Rock has been all the time. The government report, says MT. Hutch inson, is gathered from every part of the South from individual estimates of certain sections. Hundreds and hundreds of these estimates are re- ceived from any one who cares to send them, as well as from instructed agents, and the grand average is taken. The secret of the estimates is preserved with zealous care by the government officials. The figures are not made up until within few min utes of the announcement in the New York Cotton Exchange, at noon, which is Ii o'clock in Little Rock. It would be an obvious advantage to any cotton broker if he knew at axactly what moment the market would fiuctuate, either up or down, and were it so known millions could be made by the scratch of pen.

DEATH OF LUIN MARTIN.

J Luin Martin, son of Mrs. J. M. Cook, departed this life last Friday evening, November 2sth, 1902, at the home in Batesville, after an illness of more than year, During this long illness which he bore with great for titude he was most tenderly nursed and cared for by his mother and his step- father, Mir. J. M. Cook, and his brother, sister and cousin. The par ents took him to Texas and then to Colorado where they hoped for bene- fit from change of climate, but all that loving care and medical skill could do was unavailing. With sor- rowful hearts they brought him home from California in a special car on the 24th ult., realizing that the end was near.
 Luin would have been 22 years old in January, and was in the promise of young manhood, which had before his illness seemed so bright. He was most affable and popular and his friends were numbered by his ac- quaintances. All of them share the grief of the relatives and the sincere sympathy felt with them comes from the whole community
 The funeral services were from the residence Tuesday afternoon, conduct ed by Rev j. M Hawley -Batesville Bee

OVERFLOW CUTS AROUND DAM.

The recent rise in White river has played havoc with the dam at lock No. 1, just below BatesvIie says the Bee The tremendous force of the high water current cut into the bank at the end of the concrete abutment at the south end of dam and ths channel of the river has changed around that end of the dam. The dam structure proper was not injured, but it will cost S3O,0O or $40,0O0 to do the work necessary to bring the channel under control again. No blame is att tached to Capt. Parkin or the men under him for the disaster, as they did the construction work faithfully by the plans and specifications furnished from the office.
