FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1D06
The festive cut worm is making
his annual raid on the cotton crop
and seems to be working overtime
in his efforts to cut down the acre*
age. _
At the Socialist state conven
tion held at Argenta Monday and
Tuesday, Dan Hogan of Hunting
ton was nominated for governor.
JNo other nominations were made.
With its wide range of raw ma
terials, including vast resources of
timber and minerals, why should
Arkansas not be the most pro
gressive industrial center on the
continent?
Scientists ail over the world are
busy explaining' the causes which
led to the San Francisco horror.
The cold truth is that all of their
alleged facts are merely theories
and deductions, for nobody knows.
The appointment of II. L. Rem
jnel as United States marshal for
the Eastern district of Arkansas,
has been confirmed by the senate,
And thus the Republican machine
wins another victory over the in
surgents. _
It is said that Lonoke county
will have about S.000 acres of rice
this year, and the reports from
there indicate a heavy yield. Rice
is said to be much more profitable
than cotton and requires less at
tention. The average yield is
about 40 bushels to the acre and
it sells for a dollar a bushel.
