FRIDAY, Jl.'NK 29, 1906
Col. John M. Grade, one of the
largest cotton growers in the state,
says that 10.<>00 acres of cotton
along the lower Arkansas river;
l»as been abandoned by the farm-.
crs for the want of sufficient help
to properly cultivate it.
Kansas is calling for ten thous ]
and harvest hands to take care of
f»er wheat crop, and a cry comes
from Eastern Arkansas that ten
thousand acres of cotton will
have to be abandoned owing to
the scarcity of labor. Why should
any man be idle?
The Newport News says it is
unsafe to carry loose bills around
ir> one's trouser pockets. Now
we wonder bow the News man
ever found this out? We don’t
wear a Carnegie hero medal, but
we’d be willing to face most any
old kind of danger just for the
novelty of carrying a few of Un
cle Sam’s I. O. U.’s around loose
io our pockets. And, besides, we
thought Brother Waterman bad
ft laced all his large bills in the
Bank of Newport for safe keep
ing.
The report of the state auditor
! shows that the total assessed valu
ation of all property, both real
and personal, in Independence
county is $5,013,63$.
No one seems to be frightened
by the announcement that this is
the year for the “seventeen-year
locusts.” There are more or less
locusts every year in some parts
of the country, but ordinarily they
do but little damage. We are in
clined to believe the “seventeen
year" visitation is a good deal of a
myth anyway.
