Governor Pindall's Report.
Acting Governor Pindall has re
turned from his tour of inspection of
the state convict farm, and has sub
mitted a written report to the board.
Among other things he says that the
cotton is practically ail opened on the
farm and approximately 2o0 convicts
are engaged in picking Believing
that the levee work should be con
tinued he ordered about 50 negroes
taken from the fields and put to work
on the levee and that the levee work
be not again allowed to entirely stop
during good weather. The cotton
crop he estimates at between 1,500
to 1,800 acres with an average yield
of between 850 and 1,000 bales which
will be classed as good middling. The
corn crop he estimates at about 4,000
bushels. In conclusion the governor
suggests that a board meeting be ht4d
at the farm, or some member be au
thorized to visit the farm at conveni
ent intervals with full authority to
act for the board concerning any un
foreseen details which might arise.

Convicted Man Pardoned.
In stating his reason for pardoning
Woodson Peacock. charged with
abandoning a crop before it was ma
tured, Governor Pindall explained that
there is no law' in Arkansas whereby
a man can be punished for this ac
tion. At the time of Peacock's con
viction the justice of the peace before
whom the case was tried thought that
such a law existed Learning that
such was not the case, he £ pplied to
the governor for a pardon for Pea
cock.

Crop Conditions In Arkansas.
Reports received by Commissioner
Guy B. Tucker of the agricultural de
partment from 32 counties in Ar
kansas. Indicate that the cotton crop
in Arkansas this year will be a frac
tion more than 64 per cent of what it
was last year. According to the esr
timate based upon the return from
the 32 counties, the number of bales
that wnl be produced will be about
550,000. Some of the counties in
which rain has been plentiful, have
not reported. Commissioner Tucker
estimates that the state this year will
produce about 650,0"i) bales. The re
port shows that the corn crop is
about half what it was last year, in
nearly all the counties reported labor
seems to be sufficient to meet all
farm demands.
Would Call Extra Session.
Governor X. O. Pir.dal ; ecently
stated that should a map-rit< f mem
bers of the legislature favor railing
an extra session to deposit the funds
of the state in banks with a view to
relieving the present financial strin
gency he would be willing to issue
such a call. He declares that he
would be personally in favor of de
positing the slat* s funds in the banks,
amply secured, at any time, and that
the only reason for calling a special
session now is the present financial
stringency. Governor Pindall stated
he did not know just what amount of
currency is in the treasury of the
state, but that he understands it to
be about $l,5UH,i>00.

JUST WHAT Hfc WANTED.
Surely Here Were Musical Tastes
Enough to Suit Anybody.
A gentleman of the most cultivated
musical tastes, wishing to change his
residence, advertised for rooms in a
private family “fond of music." The
next mail brought him the follow
ing reply:
“Dear Sir: I think we could accom
modate you with rooms, and as for
music one of my daughters plays the
parlor organ and gittar; another one
plays the accordeon and banjo; 1 play
the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays
the harmonica and my son the flute.
We ail sing and if you are good at
tenner singing you would fit right in
when we get to singing gospel hlms
evenings, for none of us sings tenner.
Cr If you plays the base vial we have
one right here In the house. If you
want music as well as rooms and
board we could accommodate you and
there would be no extra charge for it.

FAMILY'S SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affec
tions Afflict Different Members,
But Cuticura Cures Them.
“My wife had eczema for five or six
years. It was on her face and would
come and go. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We
did so and she has never had a sign of
eczema for four years. I myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. I now
have a very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald w hen young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
fleshy, and we had so much trouble
with heat that we would bathe her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up so much quicker than any
thing else. Mr. H. I!. Springmire, 323

The Bright Firstborn.
They were discussing the law of en

bulk of the family property to the
eldest son.
“There is HO per cent, of logic in
that law," said a i hy.dcian, “and if the
family i roi r;y went t.> tire firstborn,
whether son or daughter, the law
would contain 1 J i > :• cent, of logic.

“Mrs. Craigie—John Oliver Hobbes
