NEGRO
 MADE BANK FAIL
Started Report it was Insolven! When Check was Turned Down on Account Which He Had
 0verdrawn.

Little Rock, June 19-Three hundred negroes fought at the front doors of the Capital City Savings Bank, Fifth aud Center streets, the only negro bank Tn the state, this morning, demand ing the withdrawal of their de- posits, but the bank doors never opened. Chas. B. King, cashier, endeavored to explain to the peo- pie that their money was safe, but the demands were so insisteut and the relief expected did not arrive in time for the opening, that King went into the Chancery court, where he made application for a receiver, Marvin Harris, a young attorney, being appointed.
 The liabilities are about $75,- 900, with assets more than cover ing.
 The deposits amount to s65,- 900 distributed among fully two thousand depoSitors.
 An illiterate negro attempted to overdraw his account yester. day, not knowing bis funds were exhausted, and started a report that the bank was insolvent when his check was turned down.
 This caused the run which left only $2,000 cash in the bank last night.
 The bank is capitalized al $25,000 only one-half paid up, and has been operating five years.
 The Peoples Industrial Aid Association snf Indwstrial Life Insurance Company operated ir conjunction with the bank. They went into the hands of the same receiver later.

BETTER ASSESSMENT LAW
The Co Operation of Assessor and Local Justices Tend to Equalize Tax
 Burdens.

Cove is the livest little town south of Mena on the Kansas City Southern at this time, .he chief reason being that the Cove Lumber Company's sawmill and pianer at that place has been kept running all through the year when the weather would permit. Just now that means when 1t IS not raining so hard as to make the working of lumber impracti- cal. The big mule teams are kept tugging at the traces, bring ing in logs and rough lumber, though tue heavy wagons and wet weather are playing havoc with the roads. A string of cars on the side track are being load- cd with the finished product ready for the markets iu the north, and w. B. Barton, mana ger of the company, says that he has made 1t pay to keep his men, teams and machinery at work when other companies have closed down, and the business men and citizens of Cove certainly appre- ciate what it has meant during the dull season. Among the lead tng merchants are Golf, Gamble & Co., B. H. Barton, J. A. Xiii liam and G. B. Nixon.
 Mrs. K. D. Green is the pro- prietor of one hotel and Sam Willis of the other, both of which give good service.
 A. Nj. Woodell of Cove aud J. K. Allen of Jansen, justices of he peace of White township, finished their work with Asses sor Parker, which began at Hat ton on Friday, June 12, on We'd ncsday, June IT, at Cove.

LIKES VIRGINIA LAND.
County Treasurer Thornton Com. pares Conditions in That State
 With Arkansas.

J. A. Thornton returned home last week from d visit of several weeks with relatives at different points in Virginia.
 That country being very much like this portion of Arkansas Mir. Thornton made some comparisons that are quite interesting.
 He found many people there who expressed great desire to come here. They like Virginia, it's mountains, valleys and pure water, but land is very high priced, and they want to come to a country like theirs where there are greater oppor- tunities and cheaper lands.
 Mr. NThofuton stated that in that countrv where the hills are as high and rough as anything around Mena every foot of it is in cultivation unless it IS solid rock, and that this land is worth $100 an acre. People there talk of farming and when asked the number of acres they will say five or ten. Good looking crops will be growing on hillsides where a blow could not be used. It is cultivated with the hoe exclu, sively.
 Mir. Thornton is anxious to have som Mena and Polk county literature sent among those peo- pie for be is satisfied if they be- come interested they will be de- lighted to find homes iu this country.
