sas approving the bill for statu
tory prohibition in Crittenden
. county, the district across the
Mississippi river from Memphis,
there Was a scramble today for
boats from persons ^bo have
heretofore been accused of oper
ating saloons at West Memphis
and Hopefield. The attitude of
the Memphis mayor in 1 carrying
a crusade against the open sh
loon on Sunday in Memphis has
caused river men to double the
price of leases on river craft of
all description, owing to the de
sire of ihe liquor men to oper

That the fruit crop of this sec

Mr. C. B. Best reports that a
careful examination of all his
peach trees failed to disclose a
bud, the interior of which was
not blighted and dark in color.
While apples and the hardie^
fruiits have not been injured to
such an extent, the crop has un
doubtedly been seriously curtail

While fruit culture is not much
of an industry in the lowlands,
