From Near Arcadia Heights.

Farmers out here have been very
busy the past week gathering corn. 1t
Ia said that the yield OF corn is very
satisfactory. This means very much
to the farmers, particularly those who
have been compelled to buy meal.
With corn selling at si.25 per bushel
in trade, too, which mean abo ut 65
cents cash, not many farmers will
purchase corn meal at s2.7O per bush
ell. Farmers should not sell their
corn at present prices, for it is almost
certain that, just as soon As the corn
in the country is nearly all sold, the
prices will then advance to at least
s1.D Der bushel.
1t seems that every thing is going
up. The numbers on the trains have
ave been raised,-numbers % and
% raised to 80 and 33.

Your writer attended the Teachers
Meeting at Des Arc last month. Ac-
companied by Rev. E. V. Patterson,
| visited Mr.. and Mrs. Keathley, took
dinner with them, and, in fact, very

kind to every body, and know how
