west, "Come and you will be wei come" Here you will find warm hearts and outstretched hands to i give you a cordial greeting. No drones or idlers are wanted in this busy Western hive, but workers men of "snap" and 'push," honest, sober, intelligent and industrious, who are not afraid of work. Ten thousand such men are wanted in Pope county, and we can assure such they will be welcomed and encour aged in their efforts to develop the great agricultural resources of as fair body of land as the sun ever shone on. Here are good schools, churches of all creeds, rigid prohibi tory liquor laws in full force, moral, christian communities, lands unsur passed for fertility and productive ness, climate unoxceptienable, re- markedly healthy region, manu.ac- tories springing up as if by magic What more could the immigrant de YELL COUNTY. All that we have written in regard to our own county, in reference to soil, etc., we cheerfully reiterate in favor of our neighbor, Yell county, which is south of us on the right bank of the Arkansas river. This county is extensive in area and, like Pope, is one of the garden spots of the state. It is settled by an inteli gent class of people, who are noted far and near for their thrift, energy and enterprise. The soil is uneX ceptionably fertile and the climate healthy. Good water abounds in the shape of running streams and failing wells. It possesses all the religious, educational and other moral advantages of Pope, and many are seeking homes there. The prin- cipal town is
 DARDANELLE,
 and it is place of about two thous- and inhabitants. The society is ex cellent, and much attention is given to education, public school of high grade and a superior select school having been opened for ten months each year for several years past. The Methodists, Baptists, Cumberland Presbyterians, Old School Presbyte- rians and Episcopalians each have commodious and neat houses of wor- ship, in which service is regularly held. A large and splendidly equip ped blaming mill, wagon and blow factory, two flour mills, and several smaller establishments constitute the industrial interests of the place. The county being large is divided into two judicial circuits, the courts for one of which is held in Darda- nelle, making it place of consider able importance. There are two splendid weekly newspapers publish ed in Dardanelle, to-wit: The Inde- pendent Arkansian, owned by Dr. M. M. McGuire, president of the Ar kansas Press Association, and the Post owned and edited by G. R. Will Hams and Horatio Bernard, two as popular gentlemen and active news paper men AS can be found in the State. There is no town or county in the state that offers more desira- ble inducements to the immigrant, farmer and mechanic, than does Oar danclle and Yell county
 JOHNSON COUNTY.
 West of Pope and on the line of the railway is Johnson county, an other section of the state that we can and do cheertully commend to the immigrant. Like her sister coun- ties, Pope and Yell, Johnson county is the home of large population noted for it's industry and sobriety. The lands are among the best in the State, and include government and railroad. The principal town is Clarksyille, the county seat, the home of one of the most elegant communities in this region, the people being cultured in mind and : manners, We would like to write more of our neighbor, but our limit ed space forbids and we will respect fully refer the immigrant to the l Clarksville Herald, R. C. lite edi tor and proprietor, for full informa- tion respecting Johnson county.
 To all seeking new homes, we say again Come to Western Arkansas, and here you will find the Olace Vou
