RICE IS PROFITABLE.
The Arkansas Fields Yielding Handsome
 Iy This Year.

Pine Bluff, Sept. PA letter from Stuttgart received here to- day, gives most encouraging re ports of the rice crop in this sec tion of Arkansas and shows what can be accomplished in the way of raising rice in Arkansas. The writer, who is one of the most successful business men of Stuttgart, is well posted in re gard to rice culture and the con- ditions of the rice crop. He writes:
 Rice is being rapidly thresh- ed and hauled to the mill. The crop is yielding unusu ally well, some crops yielding 75 to o5 bushels per acre and none, I be- lieve so far, going below 50 bush els per acre. The mill at Stutt- gart is paying S1 per bushel for best rice and it runs into money very rapidly. We are milling about 2,OOO bushels per day and will ship out the first car tomor- row, and as rapidly thereafter as possible, but as the rice is all threshed in 60 to 90 days, we will be compelled to receive it about twice as fast as it can be milled and shipped out, thereby accommodating a large stock.

On tie 9th Of May the bloody
battle of Mcdowell was fought
and on the evening of that never
to be forgotten dav, a few hours
after he 31st Va. was brought in
to action. Capt. Matheny, at the
head of his company was struck
and severely wounded in the left
shoulder, by ball from one Of the
Federal's large bore muskets or
rifles. From the effect of this
wound he never entirely recovered.
1t kept him out of the service for
several months, during she cam
paign of '62.
He was with his company and
regiment, in the dreadful conflict
at gettysburg, when on the second
day of the battle, Early's division
was brought into action, and re.
peatedly. but Yainly attempted to
charge the enemy's batteries, sup
ported by heavy columns of best
armed infantry, mid furious storms
of every deadly missile known to
warfare, dead and wounded men
falling and grooming on every side.
Amid all these deadly scenes,
Capt. Matthew retained his accus-
toned GOODNESS and courage, and
never hinched or faltered but al
WAYS he'd words Of cheer, comfort
and encouragement for his weary,
discouraged men.
After the battle of Gettysburg.
Capt Matthew, at the head of bis
thinned, battleworn company. was
in other bloody conflicts, which
want Of space forbids being related
in this memorial tribute.
This is only a weak effort to do
honor to one of Highlands most
worthy and noble sons.
