Liverpool to respond to our strength yes
terday. It is true. the first prices there
were equal to our advance but 1t seemed
impossible to hold the improvement and
as a result our market opened about
point down. News from Texas of the in
creasing activity of the boil weevil
started a covering movement among
shorts and prices rallied about 10 points
from the low. At the advance, however.
selling by exporters was the notable fea
ture, an attempt to boost prices fur
ther were promptly abandoned The close
for the day shows a net loss Of 3 to
points. The weekly weather report show
ed normal temperature or slightly below
through Texas and the greatest danger to
be feared at this time OF the year is high
temperatures and hot winds. Today's re-
port cannot be considered other than
favorable. There is a disposition to adj
init that certain amount of weevil
damage is inevitable in Texas but the
belief Is general that the destruction of
even so much as half a million bales
by this pest would still leave crop of
between 120O0OOO and 12,5OO0OO or more
than sufficient to go around. The mar
ket has had a rally of IS points from the
low and judging from todays events
this seems to measure the full extent of
the reaction and renewed decline now
seems In order. Liverpool due to points

Abercrombie g. Co.'s Market Letter.
The weekly government weather report
had but little effect on the market today
for the reason that temperatures during
the past week averaged about normal
except in the Carolinas, where an excess
of 4 to degrees was reported, and as
for rainfall too much was reported from
the northwestern portion of the belt; in
northwest Texas and in Oklahoma and In
dian Territory As to the progress of
the crop no remarks were made. Trad
ers however, were inclined to accept
same as being somewhat more favorable
than looked for However further heavy
rains we're reported over night from east
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia and
as showers were booked for all cotton
states tonight or Wednesday, except Tor
Mississippi and Alabama, where fair
weather is predicted, shorts were disposed
to hug the shore since they nave out
about as much line as they care TO risk
with the elements a factor worthy or
much consideration at this period or the
wear when disturbances might make their
ignorance when least expected 1t is
nrobab Bile that the last two weeks of Au-
gust will go down in history as In for
mer years by serving to support the mar
lxet in the way OF furnishing unfavora
BILE crop weather, too dry and hot and
too wet and showery. If the distribution
of excessive heat is to be regulated by
the laws of nature, the southwest has
vet to receive a spell Of hot, dry weather
as its share Of the seasons summer, and
the same argument applies to the Miss
,ssippi valley although the past week
gave every indication Of such develop
ment at the close of last Saturday when
the rains relieved the situation.

Ini1 SIDEWALK paoposlIIen.

Those who have been waiting so long to know whether they are going to have to build granolith sidewalks will ..hear something from headquar- ters' about next Tuesday night when the committee Is arranging to submit . report that will require general getting busy
 There Is the fevest number of our people nov who do not realize what a blessing the granolith side walks have been and are 10 our city.
 The committee should start in with those miserable and delapidated walks in the business part of the city. which are used by all the people of the city. and as they are built they should gradually extend the building on out into the residence district
 The gentlemen composing the City Council are all clever. liberal spirited business men with the sincerest in- tsrests Of our city and people at heart. They will not require anything un- reasonable and their efforts should meet with the hearty cooperation Of every property owner in Brinkley.

A lleeGss 1aApt.

THERE some talk about certain trade having been made among cer- tain politicians whereby board of election commissioners win be ap- pointed that will put in election officers who will throw Monroe coun- ty in the wet column.
 Such talk Is mere "bosh" and is unworthy of the lowest order of po- litical tricksters.
 Notwithstanding that the past year. on account of the crop failure. was one of the worst Monroe county has ex- perienced for years. everything is nov ing along nicely and peaceably with out the open saloon.
 There are the fewest number of reputable citizens who have any res pect for themselves and their families. whc will acknowledge they are for the open saloon.
 There's new sentiment all along the line now. The big "for license " showing that vas made in Brinkley 2 years ago was not at all indicative of the real sentiment of our people; the Brinkley saloon keepers took advan- taec of a little feeling of prejudice be- tween Brinkley and Clarendon and worked If smooth enough but this kind of work doesn't "wash down" any more. Brinkley people are not "hoodlums. they do not want the open saloons any more than other parts of the county.
 Time may have been when Brink ley lined up with the rough and hood Ium saloon element. but that is In the past.
 No. Brinkiey people are not want ing to do any trading" that will tend towards getting saloons back. The city has progressed far more without them than with the hell holes and if Is foolish to think our business men want them back.

Osceola Lady as Editor.

Mrs. Leon Roussan whose lately deceased husband. during his life time, published one of the cleanest and safest newspapers in Northeast Ark ansas, has decided to take up the work of her husband and continue the publication of the Osceola Times.
 Her salutatory in the last issue of the Times was pathetic. modest and yet it had a ring gof business about it that bespeaks success for the brave little woman.
 There are not many of the ARGUS readers who know her and yet feel that they will be interested to know of her.
 She says "I want TO favors shown me because l am woman This spirit of bravery and her strong will to- eether with her talents and her great biz heart will enable her to continue the work so faithfully done by her hus- band.
 The people of Osceola evidentally realize what It means to have town paper conducted by people with the metal and moral character possessed by the Roussans. They must appre- cIate what the paper has done for them. If they are the people the Times has given them the reputation of being. they will do even more for Mrs. R. than they did for her beloved husband.

month. You do not need to concern yourself about these things, at least for a good while. What you do neeo to be concerned about is. that you should have honest employment among honest men, that you should take your place among men as an honest, capable, thoroughly efficient and thoroughly faithful young man. If you can just get it understood in your community that you can be relied upon for getting the best results ou' of any job, that you will do it without having to be watched or pushed up; II you can get it known that you do this cheerfuI!y. politely and promptly, then your fortune is made
 What you need now is not pig salary. nor sn easy time. nor nice job; what you need is an opportunity to show that you can be trusted. Ii you can get down to your work earlier in the morning, and do more Of it in a day, and do it better. and stay later than the people about you; ifyou can do this, you will never need to worry about place, nor to worry about a better salary. You will not need even to ask for more salary; men who want employees will come hunting you and they will offer you the best of sal aries. Fix these things deep down in your heart for they are as true as gos- pei. But If you are negligent and slipshod about your work. If you go about 1t in surly mood. If you come to 1t as late as you dare and get off as soon as you can, then nobody wants you.

FROM DARK CORNER.
Cotton Plant, Ark. July II, 1906

Cotton Plant, Ark, July II, TWO.
 Perhaps the Readers of the AncUs might appreciate few lines from the Corner. It was the writer's privilege to see much Of the crops of this sec ton one day this week. This, as many of you know, is one of the finest farming sections of the country. It is very level rather low, but the land owners have cut quite number Of big ditches which have redeemed many acres of untenable land. The crops, where worked, are fine. Some places it seems, the workers were too heavily cropped. would suppose there are perhaps ten thousand acres in cult- vation from Cotton Plant to the ex treme Corner, and guess seventy five per cent of this is in cotton.
 School began last Monday at the South school house with Miss Halvert in charge and at Anderss Chapel Tuesday with Mir. Ferguson in charge. Both of these schools are small be- cause great majority of the popula tion is of the negro race. The owners Of the land live al Cotton Plant, Brinkley or some othertown.
 The Anderson Chapel church seems to be deserted but at Ash Grove they have preaching and Sunday-school.
 It appears that nearly all of the old citizens of ten and fifteen years ago are gone, either dead or moved away.
 Bl. will let this suffice for the present. Yours, RAMBLER.

take just what you can get. A few boys have gone off Ito work, to work on baseball teams. They will perhaps get good deal of money for their "work. But they are never likely to amount to much in the world. Base ball is all right, played among the boys at home and as recreation. but your travelling teams are not out for recre : ation; they are out for what they get cut of their profession of ball play ing, poor profession it Is for any young man. One that opens into nothing that is elevating or enobling. Many a boy is being ruined by 1t.
 Let me tell you few things about getting jobs, and about holding them. The mistake many boys make is, that they think they must get nice job with good pay or else they want no job at all We say this Is mistake.
