Ho! Ye eLOng-Faced Cotton Rais-
 CTS!

Why continue to raise cotton at six cents per pound when you can better afford to grow apples at six cents per bushel? We cannot recommend very strongly the success of an apple orchard in the valleys, but 1 would rather have fifty bearing apple trees on the Crow mountain or most any other uplands-than any one mans cotton crop. It is dis credit to the fruit growers of North Arkansas that apples brought 90 cents per peck in Harrison this spring, yet the bugbear, without an orchard" has been crying for 20 years that the fruit industry would soon be ovsrdone, while the cotton buyer holds a yearly mortgage on hls little cotton crop, which barely pays for his coffee and meat, and his unfortunate family does without fruit!
 "He that hath eyes to see, let him see" Respectf ully submitted,

Progress Tn Town and County.

Tae Russellville Foundry and Machine Companyis IS newly ors an- ized industry here. The proprietors, Messrs. Luker & Smith, are both practical men in that llne of busi ness. They have just purchased machinery. and will have their plant in and ready for work in the course of few weeks.
 Messrs. Luker, Davls & Company, wagon and blow manufacturers, are putting in new power and enlarging the capacity of their works.
 The canning factory here will be operated to it's full capacity this sea. son, as the prospect for fruit in this section is good.
 The putting in of an electric light plant here is being agitated. The growth of the town demands better lighting, and it is quite likely that some electrician would get con tract if on the ground to urge it's advantages.
 There is no better point, perhaps. Tn all the South than just here for establishment of large tannery. It is needed and would be encouraged and all reasonable inducements ex tended to the right parties. But that which IS just now at tracting most attention in this town and vacinity is coal. A number of coal men from Kansas have reen here during the past month, and have been much enthused over the coal found in a number of locations contiguous to town. The varieties are bituminous and anthracite. The colliery known as the Ouita mines, two miles west Of this town. has just been leased by Mir. J. H. Durkee, of the Durkee Coal Company, of Fort Scott, Kansas. New machinery has been put in--hoisting engine, break CT, washing appliances, etc.-and the output has been increased to ten car loads per day. The quality as g fuel coal and steam maker has giv en such satisfaction that it is now supplanting Pittsburg coal at the points where the latter was used. The collieries southeast of and north of the town afford the same l fine quality, but are not being work ed to as much advantage as the Ouita colliery.
 Iron ore of q species closly re sembllng brown or red hematlte abounds in the chain of hills which environ this little valley. The writer obtained specimens from six different localities last fall. Some are heavy and apparently rich. No analysis has been made and no re liable investigation as to the extent of the ore.
 Some of the new business houses that have just been completed here vie with anything to be seen at the capital of the State.
 Building stone is abundant, and quarries have been opened near town. It will be utilized for the construction of one or more business houses this spring.
 The Citizens Savings Bank has placed an order for new steel vault and one of Halls best safes. New fixtures will be put ln.--J. K. B. in Manufacturers Record.

Obituary.

1 On the morning of the 18th day of April, 1891, D.. H. F. Bruton, wht
 was in his 5lst year, passed from lis home as Bellevile, Yell county, Ark, ! to that higher life.
 l Dr. Bruton was born in Pope
 county, where he remained until he arrived at manhood, when he chose the science of medicine for his life work and located at Danville, Tel Co. After successfully following his profession at this place for some time, he located at Bellevills, his
 home at the time of hls death. While at Danyille he became con nected with the masonic fraternity which order honored him with their
 burial rites.
 Bro. Bruton joined the Methodist church, south, about the year 1884 In which church he lived and died,
 manifestIng loyalty to his church
 and devotedness to the cause of hls Master.
 He has t@a wires and three child .ssla in that better land to welcome
 his arrival, and leaves wife and
 four children. together with large
 concourse of sorrowing friends to
 mourn his departure. He bore his
 affll ctions with christian fortitude
 and diea in the triumphs of living I faith.
 We very sensibly feel the loss we
 sustain through the death of Bro.
 Bruton, but are consoled by the
 promise that "Blessed are they that
 die in the Lord" While he has out
 stripped hIs wife, children and
 friends in reaching that home that IS
 prepared for the finally faithful, they
 have one more tie that binds their
 hearts to heaven. He cannot re-
 turn to us, but we, through the mer- cies of God, can go to him. We can but commend the sorrow l ing friends and relatives to trust in
 Gods abundant grace, and prepare
 to meet the husband, father and
 friend, by and by.
