| i cal movement. Every class of citizens cIn work tae farmer. EechaE!c, law ! yer. doctor. merchant, and every other class. By bringing people of thrifty class among Us the chances are lu creased of obtaining employment and business in every line. We do not alone want persons to come that may be employed by those who are already here, but We want those who are able to do business ill farming, manufac- turing, and every class of enterprise on tEeir own account. We have room iu this county for five hundred small farmers. who would naturally bring with them an average family uf from four to i've persons. increasing our population at least 2.500
 If l had the time. and thought 1t necessary, 1 would Ill this connection tell of what organized emigration ef- forts have done in setting up the States and Territories of the North and West. with far less facilities to offer; but our people read enough and hear enough of this proposition to accept the truth that effort and concert ln any work ace npllshes good results. l trust this meeting to do something that will put on foot such plans as will result in accomplishing results above the expectations of the nast sauguine.

 l. B. Kelley then addressed the meeting briefly. He said that he was essentially all Arhansas man-his family having lmmlgrdted to the terri tory now embraced in the State in 1858; that seven generations of his family had tgud upon Arkansas soil SIX Ut them nsttiYe-and that the bones of his ancestors lay bleaching beneath the sod Of Arkansas. In speaking of the various resources of the State he said that the topography of the cUun- try was so varied as tO suit all. She had mountains from the summit of which you could almost tickle the feet of the angels with a straw, and cav ernS so deep that you could hand down a chunk Of lee to the sufferers who had preceded Us to the country where shOyelIng snow WAS a lost art; that her soil was ricA-so rich in places that pumpkin vines grew so fast that they wore out the little pumpkins dragging them over the ground. and ( ti.s. vine to grow the pumpkins; that her waters were unriYaled- She had from the feted ldguuns of the Eastern dl- luvium to the odorless. tasleless, pure waters of Eureka, Rtyensden and Stu art Springs; from the icy cold of the mountain base to the steaming fluid of the wOrld-ren0wned Hot Springs. That her forests were unequaled and her grasses unsurpassed. She had five times carried of the laurels ant blue with her fruits. Her shannon apple could nowh here be defeated
 In speaking of the vast mineral re- sources of the State he said that We had everything. from the finest gold. silver, zine, copper, iron, etc, to lead, Ill sufficient quantity t0 sink the latest
 
 He dwelt upon our building stones, saying that we embraced the catalogue, from the adamantiue granite to the magnificent marble. susceptible of the finest polish and sufficient to mark the last resting-place of next summers politicians. He capped the climax by declaring that Arkansas could support her population walled in, and without communication with any one save the God of the universe.
 He wound up by urging our people to ad, elt tiSe our resources, to let the sufferers of the land of the blizzard know of our sunny, salubfiOus climate, with untold resources
