There is but one better county in the state than Drew and that IS Arkansas, but she would not be the better, fl it were not for the hundreds and thousands of study, industrious and progressive immigrants who have recently settled in our midst, bringing with them their money, their fine stock and will to help push this section of the state to the front.
