INCREASE OF TRADE.
An Excellent Offer Submitted to our
Merchants by Cass County
Farmers.

There are in the city, to-day, several
members Of committee, appointed
by the farmers of Northwestern Cass
county, for the purpose of submitting
to TeIarkana merchants proposition
by which the cotton receipts of this
city may be annually increased by
about $500, The proposition in. ques-
ton comes from the farming settle
ment known as "Sprmgdale" and situ-
ate about two thirds Of the way be-
tween Atlanta, in Cass county, and
Texarkana, in Bowie, a distance Of 10
miles from the former and 10 from the
latter. The conditions upon which
the proposition is made are simple
and easily performed, it only being
required that our merchants aud busi-
ness men shall cause to be built good
and substantial "Ferry Boat" to be
operated at convenient point on
Sulphur river, for the purpose of Sc
curing to the farmers on the other
side of that stream, free ferriage
for themselves and their farm
products. This boat will not exceed
in cost $3.50, and the farmers, them
selves, undertake to secure the opera
ton Of the boat without cost to- the
merchants. They also agree TO con-
8truct public roads, on each side Of
Sulphur, to connect their settlement
with Texarkana by the nearest and
most direct public road, between
these points. They estimate the pop
ulation of their settlement at 500 fami-
lies with an average yearly cotton
crop Of $500 bales,
The committee above referred to
Is composed of three well known
farmers of their section, two white
sld one colored, and its members, Sc
lected by general mass meeting Of
Springdale formers, are authorized to
treat with our people, whom they
will confer with IN person today. The
merchants of Shreveport, La, with an
eye always open to the main chance,
have already noted the desirabllity Of
securing the trade Of this section, and
in an effort to do 50 have made far
moro liberal offers than is now asked
of Texarkana, but owing to the great
distance between the points, those Of
fers have been declined The adyan-
tage of this trade TO our city is too OBJ
vious to require further comment ON
our part. Let our business men and
property owners come together at
once and take immediate steps to Sc
cure same,

THE FARMER SUFFERED.

AS direct result of mal-adminis-
tration of Governmental affairs, and
ruinous legislation, on the part Of sue
cessive Republican administrations,
every department Of American in
dustry has been made to suffer, TO
a greater or less extent. But upon
the farmers Of our common country
has the burden fallen with greater
weight and more crushing force than
upon any other element This is
clearly borne out by the report of the
Department of Agriculture, at Wash
ington, which gives the average price
of farm products up to December, 1913,
for the past year.
The average for wheat was 521
cents per bushel, which is 1913 cents
below the lowest December price pre-
viously reported. The average for
corn is 81 cents, being "a cents less
than thai fora year previously, aud
1876 less than the price for the same
date in 1890. The price for oats is
28.S cents, which is 29 cents less than
in 1892, Rye was 38 cents low er,
and the 406 for barley is the lowest
ever recorded. The average price
for potatoes IL higher than that OF
wheat for the second time IN the his
tory of the returns, yet the 60 cents
of a month ago was rs cents less than
fora year previously. HayIs quoted Of
worth 1918 per ton, that being the
highest value quoted except for 1887
The farm value of cotton was cents
per pound, against 8,4 cents in 1892
and 7.3 cents under the pressure OF
the extraordinary crop Of 1891 to
find market.

The great tide of humanity which
for months past has flowed steadily
westward into the Cherokee Strip

radios" has at last broken and now
branches Off in various directions, still
seeking the fabed paradise Of The
home-seeker, in which to empty their

one of these smaller tides has found

sas, and rs the unequaIled advantages
and superior natural resources of the
state becomes known these streams
will increase in size aud grow in num-
Der until the grand old state will be-
come Il veritable homc-sceker's haven,
The reasons for this result are too
numerous and varied to be sucCinCtly
stated and separately set forth. But,
as a whole, they are forcibly recount
ed in the following article on the sub
| iect, from the pen of an able writer:
Arkansas is justly proud Of her
great growth in the last census de-
csde and can confidently expect to re-
ceive an increasing share Of the enor-
nous emigration that is bound to pour
into the southwest in the next ten
years. In the rush to the prairies be-
yond, the great and varied induce
ments she offers to home-peekers, in-
vestors and promoters of industrial
enterprises have been strangely over
looked.
Besides the vast expanse Of alluvial
lands along the many miles Of nayigs-
BILE rivers and her countless mill
streams anording perennial water
power, she has immense acres OF most
fertile and richly timbered uplands,
dotted over with ncyer-failing springs
and running streams Of pure, clear
water to entice tho stock breeder,
farmer and grazer With a mild, de-
lightfuI Climate all the year round, ev-
cry variety Of soil for all the products
OF orchard or field, and with ample
transportation facilities, she has min
eral resources second to those Of no
state Of the Union in variety and cx-
tent,
Although a great cotton-growing
state, her apples, peaches and pears
carry off the prizes at the interstate
shows, and finer or more profitable
crops Of corn and wheat arc grown
nowhere than in many counties in
Arkansas.
No state is more happily located for
cultivating and marketing all kinds Of
farm products, In these hard times
no state can boast Of farmers treor
from debt than those Of Arkansas,
and in spite Of the low prices Of cot
ton, St. Louis merchants have found
their Arkansas trade and collections
among their most cheering expert
onces in closing their books for 1898.

reduction in the number of companies
and al increase in the enlisted
strength of each company so that each
