EARLY CLOSING
 AFFECTED CARROLLTON

The following paragraph from a paper at Carrollton, Mo-, indi- cates a retrospective view of the matter of early closing:
 Twenty years ago night on our streets was very different from what it is at this time. Then all the stores were open until 9 or 10 o'clock and a crowd of loaf CTS could be found in each store and the streets were full of peo- pie until Il o'clock. Down on saloon row there was a crowd until 12 o'clock and some of them did not go home until morning. This is all changed. A large number of the stores close at 6, all the grocery stores at z, the book stores at 8 and the drug stores 9. and there are very few loafers on the streets or in the stores. On saloon rory there is only a small crowd and by II o'clock all is quiet in the city. More people stay at home nights than twenty years ago and the merchant has time to be with his family. The present plan is by far the bestand the improvement is .,ed by any one who has lived here all these years. Soon the remaining stores will close at 6 or z o'clock and the streets de- serted after dark. This is the way it should be, for then the busy man has time to rest.

FRUIT PROSPECTS.
Horticultural Authority Says FL berta Peach Crop Is Ruined. Apples Uninjared and Strawberries Abun-
 dant.

Fayetteville, April 20. Gel. w. c. Vincenheller, considered an authority on fruit growing, made the following statement to night.
 Our strawberry fields are laden with bloom and fruit. We will have an abundant crop. Picking will begin from the 1st to the 5th of May. This county can give employment to from 10000 to 15.000 pickers. The E,ifberga peacn crop has been practically destroyed. Some other budded varieties and seed lings promise good yields.
 Apples apparently are not in jured. The Ben Davis apple did not have a full bloom, and where trees bore good crops last year the fruit is shy. However, this does not apply to many orchards. Other varieties promise well. Prospects now are for 50 to 75 per cent of 3 full crop.

GOVERNOR EXTENDS
 OLIVE BRANCH.


 Events at the state house We'd nesday, says the Little Rock Ga zette, were indicative of 8 desire on the part of Gov. Davis to bury the hatchet. The governor, although a member of the board of psnitentiary commissioners, has nob attended meeting of the board since the purchase of the Cumnins plantation for 3 state convict farm in November. 1592. He has fs5sh nj been on speak ing terms with his fellos state officials who are also members of that board.
 The governors presence has also been lacking at many meet ings of the state railway incorpo- ration board, whose business t is to pass upon applications for railway charters. Questions hav- ing arisen as to the legality of sNflss boards acts without the gov ernof' present and participating, 1t was decided to notify the gov ernor and request his attend ance.
 There was occasion for several meetings of the board Wednes- day and the governor was on hand. His mood was pleasant. He smiled and chatted with those who were in responsive humor. He evidently came with the olive branch in his hand. In addition. the governor sent at least one message during the day to a fel- low-board member, inviting him into the chief executives cham bers for a conference which, it was intimated, was to be of a friendly nature. The invitation remains unaccepted, however, and the governors first days ap- >pearance in the role of pouring oil on the troubled waters was not a huge success. Whether the governor will attend the next meetingof the penitentiary board is yet to be seen.
