ARKANSAS CROP REPORT. ]
Cotton Has Shown Rapid Improve
' ment—Most Corn Laid By—Har
vesting in Progress—Northern
Section Needs Rain.
Following is the weather bureau’s ,
report on tho condition of crops in |
Arkansas for the week ending July 6: i
The temperature was seasonal dur- j
ing the week with copious and fairly
well distributed showers during the
week. Considerable progress was ,
made in cleaning fields of weeds, and -
as a rule crops are now fairly clean
throughout the state. Cotton made
rapid growth, and while very late it
has made great improvement during
the week; as a rule the color is good,
the stand fair and some of the early
planted is beginning to bloom and the
plant is taking on better form. Corn
is growing rapidly and is now nearly
all laid by; the stalk is small, but the
color is good generally and it is tas
seling out well; a full yield' is not an
ticipated. The harvesting of oats and
wheat is progressing well, but the
yield of these crops will be light;
some was damaged by rust. Potatoes
are being harvested and' good yields
of excellent quality secured, except
in some northwest counties, where
the crop has been a failure. Apples
continue to promise a poor crop and
peaches are almost a failure. The
berry crop is good. Gardens, pas
tui-es and fox'age crops are excellent.
NORTHEAST SECTION.
Corning, Clay County, J. Brobst.—
Week very favorable; corn and cot
ton greatly improved; cotton bloom
ing nicely, stalk small nut branching
well, some bad stands; corn in silk
and tasseling and doing well; both

Gardner.—Weather hot, dry and
windy; corn clean and in good condi
tion, most of it laid by; cotton some

Batesville, Independence County,
R. Wells.—Weather favorable for
crops; early corn laid by and looks
very well, though small; cotton small,
but growing; millet and peas doing
well and growing nicely.
Alicia, Lawrence County, W. J. Me
J Cullough.—Weather dry and hot, fa

in good condition; oats almost a fail
ure.
Howell, Woodruff County, W. A.

PARDONING POWER
SHOULD BE RESTRICTED.
Clinton, July 7.—The twentieth ses
sion of the Morriiton district confer
ence closed here last night. It was
one of the most spiritual in its history,
there being a number of conversions
and accessions.
The conference passed strong reso
lutions on the temperance question.
The third division was as follows:
“That we, by every legitimate
means, will help in the formation of a
public sentiment that frowns down
upon officers who are either derelici
in executing the law or who nullify
the law by a too free use of the par
doning power.”
The next session goes to Quitman

HCNIC PARTY
OF YOUNG LADIES.
Some twenty of Newport’s most
popular society girls and matrons of
put few years formed a picnic party
o White River bridge Tuesday. They
vent early and didn’t return until
pvening, the entire day being spent so
pleasantly the party was loth to give
ip such an enjoyable manner of
iving.
With cards, flinch and other games,
ittle trouble was experienced in se
:uring means and methods of enter
tainment and crowding the occasion
,vith merriment and pleasure, that
vi’ll insure the day a conspicuous
place in the memory of each par
ticipant.
Every item that could be suggested
"or a picnic spread had been prepared
rnd the joung ladies, evidently for
getting that the men had been left out
in this dressing sack affair, contributed
such large baskets, that the many
lelicacies seemed to have been neg
lected, for want of men’s appetites.
The members of the party who
made the trip in hacks were Misses
Bessie E. L. Watson, Hal and Hester
Phillips, Noreene Kinman, Mary Bai
ley, Mabel Stayton, May Ward, Claire
Johnson, Pearl Foushee, Dovie Erwin,
Laura Nunnally, Louise Irby, Eleanor
