Investigate, and you will como ana
make your home among a good
people, where, under your own
vine and fig tree, yon literally
gather your family, praising God
you have found that better land.
1t has an area OF over $4,000
square miles, occupies the most de-
sirable part Of the temperate zone,
and her varied altitude gives the
State what equals ten degrees of
latitude, thus rendering it the most
desirable locality on the continent
for the home of man. Within this
area is found great variety OF
product, ranging from those OF the
north temperate zone to what grows
in semi-ropica regions.
Arkansas courts, investigates,
and invites all, regardless OF nation
ality, politics, or religion, to come
and help develop this empire with
in itself, and enjoy the fruits of
their labor. The opportunities
afforded are unequalled, lands of
every class can be had at nominal
price, which in Il few years will be
out of the reach OF many who can
now secure Il home.
Climate
Is all that can be desired. In
comparison with the much talked
of climate of California, we find
the mean average temperature OF
Los Angeles is but one degree less
than Little Rock, which is located
about the centre of Arkansas.
Soil.
The soil is wonderfully fertile,
producing all crops grown IN this
latitude IN abundance, equalling
any and rivaling many States cclc-
brated for their corn, wheat, oats,
and root crops.
Timber.
The State has a greater variety
of timbers useful for the mechanic
al arts than any of her neighhors,
or all the New England States
combined, and with her navigable
waters and railways they are easily
placed on the market.
Grasses.
With over one hundred and fifty
varieties of native grasses, there
are eight months pasture cut OF the
twelve, and the introduction Of
cultivated grasses, with al the
foliage plants that c&n DE grown IN
the greatest abundance, will make
this State the promised land Of the
stock raiser.
Fruits.
The fact that Arkansas has taken
the first prizes. tor fruit at New
Orleans, Boston, New York,
Louisvile, ST Louis, and River
side, California, needs nothing more
to convince the reader that tins is
the home oftbe-apple, peach, straw
berry, ard the vine.
Minerals.
The miner.. deposits are vast
and varied. With coal area of
some two million acres to reduce
our metallic ores for the use OF the
artisan, and with a greater variety
of clays, used in 'ho cem' ric art,
than has ever been found in the
same space, supplemented BY a.
most every kind OF metallic min
erals. Arkansas needs but skill and
capital 10 rank with the most fav-
ored in tue land.
Tn mineral springs Of medical
Qualities, Arkansas is wiihouta IL
val. The virtues OF the Tot
Springs are we'll known in all parts
OF this country and Europe.
E'ubiic Schools.
