Sharp County record., 1878-04-05
SHARP COUNTY.
HER CLIMATE, SOIL, ADVANTAGES
AND RESOURCES.

THE following article, descrip-
5ive of this county, was written
by q prominent citizen Of the
county, in the year 1872, and
published in the Sharp County
Herald, a newspaper then pub
lished in this place; it was also
published in the North Arkan-
sas Democrat, (the Herald's sue
cessor,) in 1875. The article is
given as it appeared then, with
the exception Of that portion re-
lating to the population Of the
county and the number Of bust
ness houses in Evening Shade,
which is changed to suit the
present time.-ED. RECORD.
Sharp county was established
by the General Assembly Of
1868, and is bounded on the
north by the state Of Missouri,
on the east by Randolph and
Lawrence counties, the south by
Independence county, and the
west by independence, lizard
and Fulton counties. It's pOpu-
lation is about nine thousand.
Since the establishment of. the
county all of the necessary pub
JIG buildings have been erected
and are paid for, The face Of the
country is generally undulating,
though diversified with rich al
luYiaI bottoms and hat pplands.
In many places the hills are
lofty enough to be called noun
tains. The arabic lands are sus-
ceptible Of producing large
yields Of cotton, corn, wheat,
rye, hay, oats, potatoes, tobacco
and field crops generally, while
vegetables of nearly every kind
may be produced to great per
feclion, and all fruits adapted to
the climate attain the highest de-
gree Of perfection under proper
culture, That portion Of the
land which is thought to be un-
fit for cultivation, on account OF
the stones which lie principally
upon its surface, produces, each
year, q luXuriant crop OF wild
grass upon which large numbers
of cattle thrive and fatten dur
ing the summer months, and
which, in many places, could be
profitably saved as hay. On ac-
count Of the splendid range the
barrens afford, and their adapt
ability to the production Of the
tame grasses, stock raising and
sheep husbandry could be pur-
sued very protitably, especially
50 on the lands last mentioned,
a large portion of which can be
had under the U. S. Homestead
law for almost the asking.
While on this subject we may
add that we are informed by a
gentleman engaged to some eX-
tent in the wool business, that
the wool from our common grade
of sheep brings almost as good
q price in the market as that
produced on lands costing fifty
dollars per acre and upwards,
and where the sheep must be
fed daily. 1t therefore seems
that North Arkansas offers in
ducements to thewool producer,
superior to any other country.
Sharp county is well timbered,
excepting in the barrens. Sur
rounding Evening Shade is a
large scope Of country covered
by yellow pine, which is cut by
the saw mills in the vicinity in
to excellent building lumber.
Health in this country is very
good indeed. We will venture
to say that no country in the en-
tire southwest surpasses it for
healthfulness-the malarial and
bilious diseases so prevalent in
a large scope Of the west being
very rare here, except in a very

are sustained in the county at pres
ent than eyer before, and some Of a
high order. Among these may be
mentioned the Evening Shade Col:
lege, located at the county seat; and
the Ash Flat Academy, twelve miles
north Of this place.
The county also abounds in min
erals, including iron, lead, zinc &C.
A bank of IRON almost riYaling the
famous Iron Mountains, it is SAID,
may be found in the northern part
Of the county, on Martins creek,
while zinc has been very successful
" mined and worked at the smclt-
inc works of the American Zinc Co.,
at Calamine, in the southeastern
portion of the county. Aside from
the mineral interest, the never fail
ING streams Of pure water invite cap
italists to their numerous mill and
factory sites. The entire county is
well watered by pure springs,
brooks, creeks and rivers. Among
the more prominent streams may be
mentioned Spring river, Martins
creek, Straw berry river, Piney Fork,
Big creek, Mill creek and Reeds
creek. Ash Flat, situated near the
waters of Big creek, in township Is,
range 6 west, is a pleasant boauti-
full village and enjoys good trade
from the country Surroundlngit. 1t
has an intelligent and energetic pop
uIauon and bids fair to become
substantial little town.
EVENING SHADE,
The county site Of Sharp, Is situated
near the Piney Fork of Strawberry
river, in a very healthy section Of
country and is improving perhaps as
rapidly as any similar town in the
state. 1t contains four general stores,
one hotel, two blacksmith shops, a
tobacco factory, saddle and harness
shop, four drug and grocery stores,
tan yard, four physicians, three
lawyers, one weekly newspaper, the
RECORD; a matchmaker and one sa-
loon. In Fhe surburbs are two fine
Touring mills, a woolen factory,
saw and planIng mill and one shin
Gle machine. OF societies there
are in town q Masonic Lodge and
Chapter and an Odd Fellows Lodge,
The church organizations are the
Baptist Methodist and the Cumber-
land Presbyterian. The Methodists
have one Of the best church houses
IN North Arkansas. Evening Shade
is also the site OF Evening Shade Col
Iege, thorough school for males
and females. The Board Of Trustees
say they are determined to build up
here q first clsss college, where the
people of the state may send their
sons and daughters for a complete
education at a smal! cost, and. out
side Of the alluremonts Of vice and
extravagant influences which sur
round such institutions in cities and
railroad towns. Evening Shade is
twenty-five miles north Of Bates
vile, the head Of navigation on
White river, forty-fve miles from
Newport, on the St. Lonis, Iron
Mountain and Southern R, r., and
about the same distance from Wal
nut Ridge, Lawrence county, On the

POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS.

Swabian people believe that on
Easter Day, or, as some say, on
Ascension Day, the rising sun leaps
thrice for Joy. At Rotenburg, on
the Neckar, the sun is supposed to
perform these antics on Christmas
Eve, the period of the winter sol :
stice. On Good Friday the sun
mourns over the crucifxion, and
does not shine until three o'clock in
the afternoon. In some parts of
Upper Swabia public prayers are
still offered up after an eclipse.
The appearance of three suns de-
notes war they are only visible at
sunrise and differ in size. Tho lar
gest gains the day, practically and
meta phorically. At Horbrechtingen
these suns have frequently been
seen, and such was the case just
before Napoleon's Russian cam
paign. The largest sun was in the
northern direction, and that is why
the Russians won. The sun is
obliged to shine for. q short time, at
least, every Sunday, in order that
tho Blessed Virgin may dry her
veil. Three Saturdays in the year,
on which she mourns, the sun does
not shine ut all. Ir Tyrol and else
