Tin: Crops.—Throughout this section of
country, the crops of every description have a
most promising appearance. That reliable
individual, •• the oldest inhabitant, ■ soys the
like never was seen before.” _
The Locusts.—On Wednesday last, we
heard the first singing of the predicted locusts.
Countless thousands may now be found in this
Motion of country. Thus far, we have not
Keard of their attacking the crops or garden
vegetables.
ggr We would call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of property in
lands and town lots, by our fellow-citizen, J.
H. Quisknukbry, which appears in another
column of our journal. If there are either
settlers or speculators who are desirous of
making profitable investments in real estate,
in this part of Arkansas, Q ” is the very
man who will sell them the right kind of bar
gains. His long acquaintance with the land
business in our State renders his experience
highly desirable to any and all who are seek
tag for this species of property.
Kgr Public attention is dii *cted to the ex
tensive sale of property by Messrs. Washer
&. VaCOHAM, which is advertised in this
^,^1 v. ri»rf w A r?.rf* nnnnrhinitv ! <1 pTP
sented to persons who wish to procure £oods
at cost ; and desirable bargains will doubtless
be offered for making profitable investments m
real estate, in our flourishing town. Buyers
would do well to attend these sales, which, as
will be seen by handbills and by advertisement
in our present issue, are to commence on Sat
urday next, the 2dth 'inst.
Baptist Church Bcilbin'g.—tVe are grati
fied to learn that eftortsare being made to erect
a Missionary Baptist .church in I>s Arc.
Through the ex tin.-ss of ltev. If. T. W e.vth
£P.t v—whose services.as pastor have l>een se
cured bv our Baptist fi lends, and others, for
the ensuing year—over one thousand dollars
have z'ready been secured toward the erection
of a church edifice. This is not only gratify
ing to this particular church, but proves to a
demonstration that onr perple are progressing
in *he right direction. 0>r Presbyterian and
Methodist friends have already their church
buildings, and the demand for more house
room In which to worship the King eternal,
immortal, invisible, the only wise and true
GoJ.,! isabout to be supplied b.v the Missionary
Baptists. These things are encouraging to tiic
well-wisher of tb,• human family. Let the
good work go on.
The Concert and Supper at Wattlnsaw
Presbyterian Church.—The concert and
supper at the above place, on the evening of
the lSih ir.st., was well attended. Although
the rain during the day must bav-* prevented
numbers from attending, nevertheless there
were enough present for all practical purposes.
The programme for the concert exhibited some
eight pieces of sacred music, which were pre
sented to the audience in a plain and unosten
ia'ious manner — proving conclusivsly that the
solemn and enlivening tones of the human
voice, aided by the accomplished performer
on the piano-forte, make a more lasting im
pression upon the thinking mind of the list
ener, than the light and frivolous songs which
are too frequently presented in public assem
blies and concerts.
The array of some twenty-two children upon
the stage, and the unison of their voices in
singing “ Saviour, breathe an evening
blessing,” added much to the interest of tire
occasion. How charming it is to look upon such
a crowd of little boys and girls—the timidity
of all Was just sufficient to excite a commend
able desire to perform their part—and right,
well did they do their duty—a cubit alike to
themselves and to those who suggested the
ides, and trained their voices for the occasion.
The piano used at the concert belonged to
Hr. L II. Uorphley, of Dos Arc, and we
laarn that he is agent for the manufacturers.
After the concert came the supper, which
Was prepared in a superior manner —just as
our Waitensaw friends are in the habit of
doing such things. The meats, of every de
scription, were magnificently cooked and the
table arranged with cakes, pies, and all the
it ceteras. After full justice had been done
to the eatables—excepting the failure to eat
®r destroy much over half of the bountiful
supply—the company returned to the Church,
where ice-cream and strawberries were pro
vided, and good humor and pleasant conversa
tion reigned supreme until after the “"noon of
night.”
We were pleased to learn that a liberat sum
"'as realized, and that the ladies of Wuttensaw
were gratified at the generosity of those who
nttended their festival.

THE STEAMER GEN. PIKE.
The daily increasing steamboat accidents,
which shroud whole communities in deepest
shades of mourning, and inflict upon the trav
cling community the keenest apprehensions or
personal safety, make it the duty of the pas
sengers on board the steamer Gen. Pike, on
her trip from Memphis to White river, Ark.,
to recommend ihat boat to the traveling com
munity. The Gen. Pike, with her superior
cast of officers—Capt Riley Jones, E. Bowers
and S. D. Farley, clerks, Joseph Nixon, pilot,
and Panl Houston, engineer—are all entitled,
from their gentlemanly politeness and long
experience in their respective departments, to
the confidence and patronage of the traveling
public.
