ARKANSAS.
The Most Progressive State ln
 the south.

From official statistics prepared re gently by the Commissioners Of the General Laud Office, Gen. J. A. Will Hanson, there were entered as home steads in all the states of the Union, during the last ten years, 39,4lS,009 acres of land. Of this vast tract 6,765,34 acres were entered Ill the South, viz:
 Alabama, l,665,644 Arkansas, 2,514,20S Florida, 1,064,0G4 Louisiana, 6I2,29z Mississippi, 70S, ,l40
 It will be seen that Arkansas stands first on the list, having enter ed nearly forty per cent of al the en- tered in the Southern States. The next census QS80) will doubtless show an increase in the population in our rich and prosperous State of nearly 100 per cent--that is, from about half million in 1870 to Q full million.-Ft. Smith New Era.
 Not only does this large amount of homesteading show progress in Arkansas, but the large sales of railroad lands in our State attest the fact that there is growing demand for Arkansas lands. It will not be many years until it will not be such an easy matter as it now is to secure heme in Arkansas "for mere song" Now is the time to come to this State, and get home while you can get choice and get it cheap. There are yet many tracts of good government and railroad lands in Pope county which can be secured very cheap.
