Facts About Northwest Arkan- sas.--By a North Alabamian.

Since l sent you my other article on this subject, I have seen more of Pope, Johnson and Logan counties. go from neighborhood to neighbor- hood, and see the people at their homes, and get their honest state ments of facts. Many statements made to me seem incredible, even to the writer, and doubtless, will seem incredible to those for whose benefit they are made. l wish 1t to be un- derstood that 1 am not in the employ of any party interested in emigra- ton to this section; I write in the interest of those wanting homes In the west.
 J. NJ. KIRKPATRICK
 Came from North Georgia in the fall of 1878, bought 100 acres of very good upland half mile south of Knoxville in Johnson county on L. R. & k. s. railway for $700. Had on it about 30 acres of cleared land. He paid $200 cash down; made one crop and paid $40 more; has since paid the remainder; has now forty acres in high state of cultivation, we'll improved. The land yields an average of HOO pounds of cotton per acre; wheat thirteen bushels, corn thirty five to forty bushels. It has fine thrifty peach orchard in bear ing. The land is pad for, he is out of debt and can now get more than double it's cost for it; while paying for his land he has also accumulated stock of much value; the health of this locality and to the north of it is very good.
 REV. GEO. ". BURNS
 Came from Whitefield county, Ga, in the fall Of 1871, with $45 and three mules and wagon. The first year he gave one mule for a claim on government land, and home steaded on eighty acres; cleared five acres and made crop on this and other land that he rented. Sold his other wagon and another mule for stock hogs, cattle and supplies for his family. This year he supported his family, supplied himself with stock and made enough to do him the next year. He continued to re- side on his homestead and clear and improve in buildings and putting out fruit trees. He secured titles and sold out for $700. He then bought 100 acres of choice upland | which produces about an average of a bale of cotton per acre, 30 to 40 bushels of corn. He paid 5000 for this, has now 35 acres in cultivation. | It is now worth $l200 to $500. It lies near the growing town of Knox vile, Johnson county. He says he now lives bountifully and comforta- bly,. He knows he could not have ! done half so well in old worn out Ga.
 II. V. BENTLEY,
 came from Jackson county, Ala. says that since he came to Pope county the cheapest labor here costs Sl5 per month with board, and from that tc $20 for farm work. Says at this time, May 30, he offers three bushels of corn per day for men to hoe cotton and cannot get the labor CTS. Women and girls are getting Sl per day for hoeing cotton. Health is generally very good. Some chills and fever along the low lands.

so persuaded that worthy woman to at
tend worship with the girls.
And this is how it came about that,
while we were having a frOlic on the
carpet with the children in Mrs. How
ellis room, we heard ring at the door;
and Bridget having taken herself OF
somewhere, there was no help for it but
for one of us to answer the summons.
"YOu 60, Katy" whispered l, in dismay.
81 cannot appear"
Katy glanced serenelya at her own friz-
Zy head in the lOOking-glass, gave a pull
at her Oyerskirt and touch to her collar,
and opened the door.
Immediately afterward / was shocked
by hearing her utter genuine feminine
scream and seeing her drop on the floor;
and that man, perfect stranger TO me,
gathered her up in his arms and began
raving over her in manner that aston
ished me. He called her "his darling"
and This own Katy" and actually kissed
her before could reach her.
/ was surprised at myself afterwards
that didn't order the gentleman out,
but it never occurred to me at the time,
and when Katy ''came to- and sat up on
the sofa and heard his speeches, she
seemed so well pleased that | left them
and took the children up to our room,
feeling bewildered all over.
What shall say further? Only that
Katy lives in the pretty house III the
town known as DR.. Craig's residence,
where we three factory girls" have a
home whenever we want it. And there
are no liquors found on her sideboard
nor at the table.
One day l heard Arthur say: you
were a silly child Kate, to run away
from me. should have given up that
point at last, know"
"But there would have been the splen-
did cellar and the ten thousand year"
answered she. at would have been such
a temptation. We are safer as 1t is
dear"
