A Bumper Corn Crop.

The bulletin issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington re-
lative to the condition of the corn
crop, shows an average condition of
SO in Arkansas on October /, against
an average of 80 on the ten-year basis
This means that the state will have
the bumper corn crop of its history,
and instead of being a buyer, will be
seller in the worlds market Fig
ures are not forthcoming from any
source, however. that would give ac-
curate information on the size of the
crop in bushels in this state, because
no records on the corn crop are kept
by the states agricultural department
or by any of the states commercial
organizations.

of Col. R. A. Little, 200 Scott street,
Little Rock, is a sample Of cotton cloth

friends in North Carolina. The cloth
was homespun, home dyed and home
woven. In commenting on it, Mr. Little
said that it shows what some of the
grandmothers of the present genera
ton wore at that date. Attached to the
cloth Is a poem, written in 1863. On the
paper on which the poem is written ia
a water-color painting of a lass of the
period in the costume of that time.
The title of the poem is The Home
spun Dress, A Dixie Girls Song" This
song reads as follows:
ooh, yes, am Southern girl,
And glory in the name.
/ boast of it with greater pride,
Than glittering wealth or fame.
My homespun dress is plain, l know,
My hats palmetto, too,
But then it shows what Southern
girls
For Southern girls will do.
Hurrahi Hurahi
For the sunny South, so dear,
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear.
