Ed. Tel Il haYe arrived at last at my
destination-the place which 1 expect to
make my home. I find the people very
friendly, and seemingly willing and glad
to receive q Northern man.though he may
be yankee We have found very nice
little home of thirteen acres. with large
two story house, nearly new, together
with a tenant house, and other frame out
buildings-not log huts. such as expect
ed to find. The house is well painted
inside and out, and has two cellars we'll
plastered, with brick floors.
There Is plenty of fruit on the place,
and the land is choice, and all for the
sum of 5000! 1t lies within the corpor-
alton, one hundred feet from the rail
road track, and about one hWndeed rods
from station and the main street Passed
plenty ofland after leaving Washington
lying in Virginia and North Carolina,
barely fit to hold the world in its place.
For over 100. miles, I think, l, saE but
three hens and two goats. We fnGNy
came out into the world again, and were
gratified TO see so many pretty places, anh
so kind disposition to take a yankee BY
the hand and welcome him to their homes
and hospitality.

The Village Of LaCrOsse-Its Growth

Immigrants
From an Occasional Correspondent

From an Occasional correspondent
LACROSSE, ARK, April 1.-Since
your paper is read by people in many
parts Of our country, deem it a good
idea to inform you of the advantages
which this county possesses over great
many of our neighboring localities, for
by this means those who may wish to
find home farther west can easily sat-
isfy themselves of the charms of this
portion of the State. 1t was onlv six
years ago that this village had its foun-
dation laid. After clearing away the
dense forest which covered the ground,
some few adventures into these NVilds
erected q cabin or two, which were fol-
lowed in short time by several yery
comfortable buildings, and at the pres
ent time there is goodly number of
very inviting dwelling-houses, not
mentioning two fine churches and
five stores in successful operation.
Another important item in our town. If
not the most important, is our fine
academy, which has an average attend
anee of nearly seyenty-five students.
The principal was educated at one of the
best institutions of learning in your
time-honored State. His assistant re-
ceiyed his education at one of Virginia's s
seminaIies. 1t may be a novel thing
for the general idea of the "backwoods"
of Arkansas, but we have classes well
advanced In Latin, French and German.
As to the health OF this section 1t can be
truly said that it is as healthy as any
other. portion of America. We very sell
dom hear of chills here. Only those
who live Immediately on White river
ever have them. This Is considered one
of the most fertile counties in the State,
the soil inclining little to be sandy,
but being of dark color.

he turned back, passed the traveller

When asked if he knew the name of the
man be murdered, he replied, with
