Crops Improved

Crops in this section are show.
ing signs Of improvement since the
recent rains. Forward corn,
which needed rain perhaps worse
than any Of the growing crops, is
greatly helped. Crops ID most
sections have had the advantage OF
good cultivation and have been
kept pretty well freed from weeds
and grass which has helped them
stand up under the drouth.
There is some signs OF improv-
ment in the way of opening up
business concerns;
w. II. Galloway Jr., has put
up a temporary building for bis
grocery business on South Atwood
street near the Collins Office build
ing, and will open new stock of
groceries within the next few days.
Plans are being made for the
erection Of a number of brick
business buildings to begin soon.
The Farmers and Merchants Bank
will build on the corner lot bought
of Mrs. Wn.ie Holt on Atwood and
Main streets. This site was oc-
Cupied before the recent fire here
bg r. X. Denton 3 Son, dry goods
and shoes.
JEFF j. Blanks is planning the
erection Of five two story brick
buildings on Main street, the
upper stories to be cut up into
Office rooms, /. g. Hurt has
purchased the A. j. Smith lot on
Front street. B. H. HilIsman will
likely rebuild some brick build
ings in the near future on Main
street. A. j. Smith has bought
the stock and fixtures OF the j.
Y. Brown cafe and will run his
cafe in the Office room of the Pin
son & Quinn garage on North
Front street temporarily.
Farmers of this section are realiz.
ing some good money from the
shipping of beans this season.
They are getting prices for this
crop. put the yield is very short
and the acreage is also short this
year. However. there have been
enough of this product placed on
the local market some days to
justify carload shipments.
The tomato crop will begin to
move on the market within the
next few days. The acreage in
this crop has been increased this
year and the yield promises to be
normal, but in many fields the
worms are destroying a big per
cent of the crop and growers are
using sprays to check this pest.
Many people at this pla we're
interested in the recent marriage
of G. B. McAuley and Miss
Brooke NelleWare, which occurred
at the home Of the brides mother
in Memphis, the Rev. H. P. Hurt
performing the ceremony. The
bride was reared here, as was the
groom, and she was the daughter
Of the late w. G. Ware, former
depot agent and bank cashier at
this place. The groom is a well
known young business man, now
of Blytheyille. Ark, and is the
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Nc
Auleg Of this place.
