state giving their views as to the out
look for this state OF 1s Ia. The gen

| is optiE1tstic as to what the new year
| is to bring to the state. The general
tenor is that while the reports Of con-
fiitions OF state and national banks for
the December call OF conditions will
likely show q falling Off OF deposits,
lit}will also show material Increase
in bank reserves. This was brought
about by the liquidation which has
been going on for the past year, fol-
lowing the decline Of the high prices
|3of real estate, from the point to I
which they had been pushed up to tho
first Of last year. This liquidation
has been carried on without crowding
debtors and has put the finances of
the state, not Only OF the banks, hut
of individuals on a sounder basis than
that which prevailed during the pert
od of business expansion or tie past
six or seven years. ss5s

has helped along the liduidation pro.

putting the state finances on firmer
basis. While the crop was sshort, g
the prices were long and generally
the shortness has not cut down tho
cash returns for the crop which was
secured.
Practically every section reports
that the outlook for everything in the
the line Of vegetation getting 81 ans
start next spring was never better.
The portions OF the state which met
with the worst shortage OF rainfall for
The. first part OF the season, were all
we'll soaked last fall, ard the freeze
up found the prairie full Of moisture
instead of dry as 1t was the previous
fall. This Is being supplemented by
good SHOWS over the state, and al.s,- 4
gether the tone Of forecast is hopeful
but at the same time urging the farm.

Taken all together, the bankers 81

WHITE TEEN RE-INSTATED

Nearly all the white men who were discharged at the Ball X Peters gray el pit some time ago were this week put back to work. A small race roit occurred there some time ago, and the contractors believing that the white men from Newark were the instigators of the affair, discharged all of them. This was followed by an anonymous warning to the negroes to leave, and they skipped. The negroes were afraid to return to the job and as a result, operations have been rather crippled until the old crew was taken back this week

The provision in the constitution of 1874 prohibiting cities and towns from issuing bonds for public im- provements was the result of unusual conditions which existed nearly half a century ago.

Arkansas is the only state that has not taken such action and she has a chance to do so by adopting proposed Amendment No 15 on Sep. tember 9.
