We have as clever people as there is in any country. North ern people are as free here as they are at home ill the far of State of Maine. I have lived in this Clark township ever since the war, and I have always been as radical as old MT. Thad Stew ems, and have said just what l pleased. and there has never been a time but the very bes: personal friends I had were Democrats. And we have one of the quietest States in tho Union. We want Northern men to come here; we need their assistance to build up our country. We don't care if they are republicans or democrats, so they go to work with their hands, minds or means. Hun dreds can find pleasant and pay ing homes here, where the rose blooms nine months in the year.
 Then come along, and when you come give Clark township call, and the writer will take pleasure in showing you around, and giv- ing you a sketch of his forty years visit to Arkansas, nearly half of which time he has spent in Pope county.

A Cordial Invitation.

LOUISVILLE, Ark, Feb. l4th. Editor Russellville DEMOCRAT:
 The wheat crop of Clark town ship is sorry; think late wheat will be great deal the best; but there is more sown than ever be. fore, which, perhaps, will make up for the probable light crop.
 1 notice one object, at leas teoi your excellent paper, is to invite immigration to this country, and with your permission, l should like very much to say word in favor of Clark township. We have a larger amount of vacant land, l suppose, than any town ship in the county. The railroad company own an immense quan tity of good land here, for sale on good terms. And there is q large amount of government land yet vacant.
 Our township is bounded on the south by the Arkansas river west by Big Piney; and the l.. R & Ft. ;. By, runs the full length of the township from east to west
 We have the only pine timber on the line of the l.. k. E F. $. Ky that amounts to anything; the entire township is covered with the finest pine timber in the State l We have only four sag-mills ia all this vast pinery-one houring mill and three cotton gins. l be, lieye there is but one blacksmith shop in tue township. I here is about 200 voters; four stations on the railroad, to-wit: Mill Creek ! Haddoxburg; Georgetown, and Pirey. Bolesyille went where the woodbine twineth.

Manllfacturies.

We would impress it most thor oughty upon the minds of our cit- izens, that manufacturing is the very life and making Of town. Suppose there were machine shops and factories for manufacturing here paying 500 or 1000 hands con- stantly. What lively impetus 1t would give things. We would never sec such dull, dry times as we now have. The shrill scream of the steam whistle, the chatter of ham, mers. the tramp of hundreds of 1.-the and sturdy artisans Us they passed back and forth, would make it brisk and lively year in and year out. Our farmers would then have good home market for all their surplus supplies.
 Let our people think of this, and although we have not the capital ourselves to establish any grand manufacturing establishments, we might do considerable to induce others to come among us with cap ital and experience. This is the very place for the business, right here where the raw material will be at hand, and we are satisfied that sooner or later we will have many factories of all kinds in Arkansas. In this connection we may say that we are reliably informed that q company from Indianapolis will soon visit our town to see the prospect presented for an invest ment in some kind of nianufactur- ing enterprise. We urge upon our citizens to court and encourage all overtures of this kind: and we think it would be a good idea for our cit iZens to make up bonus, say of a plat of ground for the location of any kind of works, and so much other aid as may seem proper and possible to offer to any one who will establish manufacturing enterprises here. What do our citizens think of it?

After all were deposited the cap-stone was laid by the preacher with few ap- propriate remarks. The audience was then dismissed with the bene- diction.
