Almost otal Loss.

Hon. John P Logan, president of the State Horticultural Society. and one of the largest fruit growers in the state. makes the following state ment on the damage done to fruit by the late cold weather: "The frost and freeze has been very disastrous, having almost entirely wiped out the apple crop. The apples were almost as large as bird eggs and were simp- ly frozen on the trees. Some few orchards on very high ground. or where the trees were close together and the foliage very heavy. may es- cape with a few apples. but it is safe to state that not less than 75 per cent. of the entire crop has been killed. This. indeed. is quite a calamity to the fruit section. as the trees were very heavy-laden and the outlook was for the largest crop of apples ever known in the state"

Some months ago small settlement on the north side. outside the city limits, Was incorporated, and it is to this territory it is proposed to connect the Eighth ward, with the consent of the voters thereof and of the town of North Little Rock The act under which it is proposed to ac- complish the above provides that upon petition the city council of the town to which said territory is to be annexed shall order an election to be held in that town and in the territory which is to be annexed. In this way only North Little Rock and the Eighth ward will have a vote in the annexation, and the south side nor will be consulted about the matter.
