Crops and Marhets.
Apple Shipments.

TotaI ...........=.2 cars
 The shipment of apples the past week has been very light, owing 10 the fact that but few apples are coming in. It k be- tween seasons just now, most all sanaer and early fall apples bay- ing already been marketed and x yet most too early for the Ben Davis. The ram "Wednesday will prove ot much benefit to the apples, and with cooler weather naw the apples will begin to eoI- er ID. It the weather continues favorable the Ben Davis will be- gin coming in within couple of weeks. Some of tile cars shipped tie past week have gone to Tex Us points, the market down there being little better than at northern points. 1T he price Tor shipping apples ranges from = 25 to $500 per barrel. Eeaporated apples to cents per pound.
 j. F. Bennett, ST., living in the southeast part of town has Soid the apple crop of his seven aere orchard for o750. AIr. Ben nett had already sold from lis orchard this season s54. .s6 worth of apples, so his crop this year nets him more than s114 per acre.

VINEGAR PLANT
MODERATION.

The vinegar plant of Stroud X Snyder made ltS first run Tues- day afternoon, not being able to get started on Monday aS con templated. Considering the fact that everything was new and the machinery not ad diusted as It will be later on, the first run was entirely Satistae tory. Harry Buck, the superintendent, came near meeting with serious accident Tuesday night, by get ting his arm caught in belt, and had the pulley on which the belt was running been firmly set on the shaft, he would have escaped with nothing short of a broken arm, and Il might have been much worse.
 Plenty of apples are coming
 in, and it is necessary to run the plant until midnight almost every night in order to keep up The tanks have not yet arrived, and the cider is being stored i'll barrels. Two tanks have been shipped down from the plant at Rogers, which will give some relief until the new tanks are erected.

DEAL ON FOR
 BIG ENAPORATOR

Ihe machinery at tfe big exap- orator . kimmons, Walker x Co. has been silent since Friday oW- ing. 10 q prospective sale of the tie plant to X. T TeaSdate and N L. Marsh.
 Tie deal was made last week. but So lar has not been closed up. our understanding being that the purchasers have not Vet come ID with theeaSh. The consideration k said to have been Sf5. .000, and | small cash payment las been made. While Messr>. Teasdale and Marsh do not have actual possession. according to our un- derstdnding, Kimmons k Walker granted them permission to buy apples and store in tile bins, which they have been doing. kimmonS, Walker X Co. have made protfer of all deeds, etc, demanding in return the contract price for the plant, but sor far II IS not forthcoming, and just what will be the outcome of the affair Is now matter of conjecture. IL Is hoped, however, that the affair will be adjusted soon and that work will be resumed. There are too many apples around Springdale and too many people wanting employment for plant of this kind to remain idle in III times like these.
 Mr. Teasdale has been engaged Ill tile commission business at Rogers for about year past, and his partner, Mir. Marsh, was formerly connected with the Hamilton Brown Shoe Co. of St. Louis. X few weeks ago they purchased the produce and eom mission business of K. l.. Nance X Son at Rogers, and We under stand are arranging to also open d house at Fayetteville.

A Difficulty Overcome

In constructing play in these days it is a very difficult thing to build one in a way that it will appear interesting to all people. Robert Shearman seems to have overcome this difficulty when he wrote The Village Vagabond." Some people like a piece with plenty of comedy and some in cline to a more serious play, and the author of this successful drama has fully realized this and has written piece where the comedy and serious parts are so happily blended that it cannot help being interesting to all. This excellent production will be seen at opera house on Dec. 3.

Meets Next Year at lltile Rock

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, December 2.-The chief topic of conversation among members of the Methodist church here yesterday was the rein statement of J. $. Hawkins as a local preacher by the Little Rock Conference at Malvern on Satur- day morning. This action of the conference, without debate, was one of the greatest surprises of the conference. The ruling of Bishop Seth Ward that a meeting was unnecessary to take the matter up, was entirely in favor of MT. Hawkins, but the fact that no single member of the conference voted against re instating him, was not expected.
 The sermon, or charge, of Bishop Ward to the three new ministers was one of the great est efforts ever heard in Arkan- sas Methodism, say those who have long been in church. Fill ed with glowing epigrams, and replete with good, sound advice, this address will finger in the

minds of the people. He inn pressed upon the young minis ters the necessity of reading. "Forego a new head for your head and put good book in it" was ore of his characteristic statements. Another, which he repeated from the North Georgia Conference, from which she has just come was that the world spells church with the smallest c ever used; that the church spells preacher with the small est P ever used; the world spells bishop with the smallest b ever used, but the world spells Christ with the largest c ever used. And 1 desire to amend that by saying the world and the church spells man with the biggest NJ ever used"
 The conference closes today with the appointments of the ministers by the bishop. Satur. day afternoon considerable time was devoted to this work by the Bishop and his cabinet. These appointments were announced this morning.
 The conference decided to hold the next session with Winfield Memorial church in Little Rock.
