ALL CROPS ARE SUFFERING
Elberta Peaches and Corn and Cottor
 Need Rain Badly.


 Batesville, July 2S.-The FL berta peach crop, usually heavy in this county, is now being ship ped and IS very light. The grow CTS who formerly shipped several carloads, are now shipping ouly one or two and some of them have only enough for the local market. The late spring, dry weather and insects combined, account for the shortage. A ma jority oi the fruit is faulty.
 The splendid crop prospects of two weeks ago are about vanished now by the dry weather. Should Il slow rain of several hours du- ration fall generally over this part of the state, bumper crops would be the result, but with an- other few days of the dry weather of the past several weeks, there will be short crop. Cotton is not maturing, early corn is not making, as at this time of year if should, and late corn will amount = noth;np at all. There has been considerable late corn plant ed in the low lands, as the early nlapting was drowned m the late spring r,se of White river.

 Does Two Hours Work.

Little Rock, July 29.-Senator James l.. Wadley of Hot Springs who is in the city today, states that Ray Gill, secretary of the State Fair Association, aud who was shot and seriously injured at Hot Springs, last Friday night, is rapidly recovering.
 Mir. Gill was able to be at his office in Hot Springs, yester- day afternoon, aud spent two hours looking over his cores pondence and work in connection with the fair,
 His injury, while at first thought possibly fatal, was found to be ouly flesh wound, although a very painful one.
 It is not proba ble that Mir. Gill will return to Little Rock for some time, even should his con- dilion warrant it, as he will have a great deal of work to do in con- nection with the fair. Senator Wadlcy, incidentally, states that the outlook for the fair this sea- son is the greatest ever, and Mr. Gill will be occupied to the limit with this work for weeks yet.
 He will probably resume his connection with the educational department as soon as the State Fair closes.
