Let no one say hereafter that
Polk county has not got progress
i've farmers in its borders, or in
sinuate that our lands will not
produce good crops. Every ar
ticle of fruit, garden or farm
products exhibited was good and
many would have won first pre-
miums at any state fair in the
Union.

The progressive business men of
Mena who contributed towards
securing the display of products
grown in Polk county as shown
last week have reason to be proud
of their action. For a display
COTTON up on such short notice it
was creditable to any county, and
in fact we do not believe it could
be excelled. The display made
was genuine surprice to every
body and every citizen of Polk
county who saw it felt more proud
than ever of his country.
