Dear Sir-WhiIe we feel compli-
mented by the nomination given us
for School Trustees at your meet
ing on Monday night last, and
while we are in sympathy with the
uprising against machine politics,
we feel that inasmuch rs the three
gentle men now candidates before
the people without previous oppOsi-
ton for endorsement and re-elec-
tion to these positions have given
us a clean and nOnpartisan admin
istrs item in their management of
schd affairs, they should be en-
dorseo ,ther than opposed. We.
Therefore, withdraw our names as
candidates for School Trustees,
and in doing so we request that
you do not replace our names with
those of other candidates. We are
actUated in the above not only by
our own preference in the matter,
but by what we find to be the gem
eral sentiment that the present
school board should be endorsed,
which sentiment prevails also
among those who have been prom
inent in securing odr nominations.
Thanking you for partiality shown
us, we are Yours truly,
J. r. ELLIOTT.

In- fsustry is active. iron and steel leading with larger sales and firmer prices in the cruder forms heretofore inclined to lag. More is doing in the coal and coke industries and prices are hardening lSiilding material, particularly timber and hardware, reflect unprecedented activity. for this season of the year There is more doing in retail trade. though heavy rains and floods, has op- erated to restrict operations west and northwest The absence of frost is still the favorable feature in the crop situ- ation, favoring as II does the almost total exemption of corn from damage.

Corn Crop Is Small.

The Arkansas corn crop is eonsid. erably below the usual amount this year. Grain dealers who keep watch on the crops of the state have ad- vices that the production, while of good quality. will be much less i'll quantity than for several years. In the southern portions of the state the corn crop is almost a failure. This is attributed to the excessive rainfall early in the season. The farmers of the state will hold the greater DOT tion of their crop for their own use. and little Arkansas corn will be seen on the market. The oat crop was practically failure this year, as the rai"s destroyed the plant before il had made start
