Last Saturday Mr.. John H. Stinson,
who farms in the bottom, near Benton,
reported to the writer that the heavy
rain of last Thursday night and Friday
had proved the most damaging to yet
fall on unharvested crops. He said that
in many cotton and corn fields water was
then standing and that the ground would
be too soft to begin harvesting crops for
some days even should favorable weather
conditions follow-and up to this time
that hasn't come.
! Mr.. L. T. Merritt of Linton, who came
in yesterday to renew his subscription,
reported that he recently sold four bales
of cotton, getting 14lls cents per pound
for one, IA cents per pound for two, all
picked prior to the recent rains, and
1919 cents per pound for the fourth,
picked after being rained on for some
days. With smile, he added that he
now had a new stand of cotton up all
along the old rows and would work it out
if there was favorable season ahead.
Mr.. B. T. Snider of Bellevue, aged
about thirty years, committed suicide
last Saturday night by shooting himself
in the head with revolver. In failing
health and having been out of employ
ment for some months are thought te
have been uppermost in prompting this
rash deed. He is survived by his widow
and one child, three brothers sister
and other relatives. He comes from ONT
of the best families that has ever resided
in our parish, and his sad end is greatly
, deplored by many friends.
