ing yesterday from the knockdown blow
administered by the Appellate Division in

directing that the assets and books OF the

receivers pending the proceedings.
The assets will be turned over TO State
Superintendent Of Banks Clark Williams at

that the Appellate Divisions order leaves
the funds in the possession Of the bank
Department until the suit for the dssolu-

County Jack Pot mine. which has

The Jack Pot is on Buffalo 'iVer'

for market SO free is it.
Two years ago this mine was a
shipper of ores which graded much
higher than average Missouri con

were declared at that time, extensive

as North Arkansas has ever been
favored with. One farmer on White
River claims that he has fifteen acres
which will yield seventy-6ye bushels
to the acre, while others on Baker
Prairie. north of Harrison, and still
Others up the Crooked Creek valley
are confident of sixty bushels to the
acre.
As usual when the ears are large
and the earl, growth strong. there
will be little or no worm.eaten corn
to contend with, and for either home
consumption or for shipping, it will
be found that the product is of high
grade.
As an evidence of the eharae ter of
the crop about Harrison, Mr.. {. D.
Allison, living just at the west line
OF the town, brings us several very
fine ears taken at random from his
field. They all measure near a foot
in length. and are of even weight
about pound and a half to the ear.
On one stalk we have on exhibition
there are two perfect ears that carry
