—Farmers are complaining that ;
the continued dry weather of the
past three or four weeks has retarded }
the growth of the cotton plant, and

The early crop is opening very rapid
]y. !
—A learned talk on the subject of '
“Good Roads” or “Education” has ।
little attraction for men busily en

one dollar admission.
—The disgraceful conduct of the
young men who tanked up on booze
and created such a rookus on the

all circumstances, regardless of indi
viduals.

A meeting of the citizens will be
held at the Court House next Mon
day at 10 o'clock p. m. to discuss and
canvass the matter of assisting in the
construction and equipping of the
Deckerville and Osceola railroad.
This is one of the best opportunities
ever presented to our people to get
a railroad through the county. Let
them get together and push the en
terprise to a successful completion.
— President A. C. Millar or Hen
drix College, who is also chairman of
the Good Roads Committee of Arkan
sas, delivered a very able address on
the subject of “Good Roads” at the
Court House last Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday lie occupied the pulpit at
the M. E. Church. At the morning
services the subject was “Higher Ed
ucation,” and at night “Personal Ed
ucation.” He handled his subjects
in an able and logical manner, and it
is to be regretted that more of our
people did not turn out to hear him.
—The Public School in District
No. 1 was opened last Monday under
very auspicious circumstances. Over
ninety pupils were enrolled. Presi
dent A. C. Millar, of Hendrix Col
lege being in attendance, conducted
the opening chapel exercises, and
gave the pupils a short and timely
talk on the Relation of Pupils to
Teachers and Teachers to pupils.
Directors F. B. Hale and E. M. Ayres
were also present and gave the pu
. pils some wholesome advice. The
morning session was devoted toclassi
. fying and grading the school: three
. grades being adopted in the Primary
. Department, under the management
of Mrs. L. Roussan; two in the in
,l termediate department, under the
! management of Mrs. Spencer Roane,
| and two in Prof. B. D. Rivers’ De
partment. making seven grades for
t the school. A close and punctual
attendance on the part of the pupils,
and with the experience of the last
term on the part of the corps of
1 Teachers, we shall be disappointed if
a good report, and decided improye
* ment is not the result at the close of
the term.
