East Orange appeals more strongly to the

PEACH CROP STILL
 CONSIDERED SAFE

Little Rock, Feb. 8.-"While the outlook is not too promising said Birt Johnson, manager of the High land orchards in Pike county, the largest peach orchards in Arkansas and one of the largest in the world, unless we have some pretty cold weather we are going to have good peach crop at our place this year. The advance blooms can all be killed and those in reserve will make a good crop. The orchards all over the state would have been in full bloom by the end of the week if the weather of Monday had continued long. These advance blooms will stand a temper ature of about 27 degrees without be- ing killed, and as the winter weather is apparently yet to come there seems to be little hope for them. The buds which have not yet begun to swell will stand temperature of 10 degrees, and do not believe they will be harm ed this year."

Gunter, seeking to have a deed set aside by which she and her husband, now deceased, con- veyed to the defendant their home stead the consideration being that the son should provide for them during their lives. A similar suit was dis missed for want of equity at the last term of chancery court, without pre- judice against again bringing it should the defendant fail to provide a home and care for the plaintiff. Mrs. Gunter now alleges that Gutner has since the dismissal of the suit de- clined to comply with the terms of the alleged deed and asks that the court set aside the conveyance and put her back in possession of the property.

completed in time to protect the lands against the usual May and June rise of the Arkansas river this year
 The Conway waterworkS system now being constructed will be affected to some extent by the dam, as it is to be located only few hundred yards downstream from the point where the intake pipes are to be To- cated. It is claimed, however, the dam will be an advantage rather than a detriment to the waterworks system, as it will prevent the muddy water from the Arkansas at flood stage reaching the intake pipes. Another advantage pointed out it that, in times of an unusually low stage in the creek should a scarcity of water for the waterworks system be threatened, the locks could be closed, and all of the water flowing down be impounded and held in reserve. This, however, will never be necessary, according to those who have investigated the stream, as the amount of water flowing down. stream, even at the lowest stage ever known, is sufficient for a city many times the population of Conway.

After Christmas

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Seventy-two col
leges compose the National Collegiate
Athletic association, which meets at the
Hotel Aston, this CITY, on Thursday, De-
cember 2s, for its sixth annual meeting.
Prof. Nicolson of Wesleyan university,
secrtary-treasurer OF the association has
been sending circulars to the various col
leges concerning the topics to be dis
cussed. Reports to the secretary show
that about 30 per cent of the under
graduates in each college take part in
Intercollegiate sports. The question of a
professional coach for base ball has been
Endorsed by a majority of the colleges,
but the agitation against the professional
element participating in college base ball
is unanimous.
Prof Nicolson believes that all the in
situations will not favor abollshing gate
receipts at the college contests. because
OF the limited financial resources of the
college athletic association. Reports
from the different colleges relative to foot
ball show that the rules are proving SO
satisfactory that no discussion Of them
will be necessary. The chief address pro-
cured by the secretary for the meeting
will be by Major General Leonard Wood,
