DESCRIPTIVE.
 Springdale has a population of about 2,50O, and Is located on the main line of the Frisco railroad, nearly midway be tween Springfield, Mo-, and Fort Smith. No better site fol a town could Oe provided bv nature, as the ground is inst rolling enough to afford excel lent drainage and also to en nance the value of residence property. A large spring of pure, soft water, nearly in the center of the town, IS one of the principal advantages, as 1t is not only a matter of great con- venien to the citizens, but supplies several manufacturing esta blishments. The town is easy of access from all points of the compass and draws trade from a wide scope of the coun- try. It is also shipping point for several inland towns, including Spring Valley, Hinds- vile, Huntsville, Wnitner, Elm Springs, Robinson and Logan. The various business interests are we'll represented, and con sists principally of five dry goods, six or seven groceries, three drug stores, two hard ware stores, two banks, two good hotels, two newspapers, two furniture stores, two livery stables, and several manufact uring plants which will be de scribed ln another chapter.
 The residence portion of the town presents a very cheerful and home like appearance, and the cottages and mansions are nearly all half hidden by fine shade trees. The spires of sev en churches point heavenward, and the following religious or ganizations gather there 10 wor- ship: Methodist, M E. church South, Baptist, Primitive Baptist, Lutheran, Christain. Prpsbvterian and Adventists.
 The secret orders are repre- sented py the K. of F., Masonic fraternity. l. Q. 0. F., A. 0. U. w., Wcodmen of the World and the G A. R.
 The town has a telephone system which connects with some of the adjacent villages
 The educational advantage s are excellent. The public schools are kept mp to the Standard, and the accommoda- tions are above the average. 1 Springdale also has college, 2 h. .ndsome two story brick building with a campus of 2 abont ten acres. The college | is in charge of Prof. J H. Shinn for many years superintendent of public instruction Of Arkan- sas and an educator of nation al reputation. Professor shinn is not only an excellent teach CT. but a tireless worker, ana is building upa splendid edu- cational institution.

SPRINGDALF. ARK.
The Springdale news., 1898-09-09

| ls AlAA "A " CAE, II M hf1 ting the twenty five car loads of wheat that were shipped from Springdale last year, and the quantity consumed by the roller mills, and it Is safe to say that the sum of S5O,OOO was paid out for the crop of 1897.
 Wheat yields from l5 to 20 bushels per acre, and corn from 35 to 40. This year the corn crop will be enormous. One thing that deserves spec ial mention in thls connection, Is the excellent crops of clover that are grown near Springdale. While stopping in the town re- gently the writer measured some clover that was 5G inches in length and the farmer who grew 1t was hauling as fine clo- Yer hay to town as can be found in any State in tue Un- ion. Every farmer knows what good clover means. Cow peas are also largely grown in that locality, and they are not only valuable as stock food, but prove very beneficial from a fertilizlng standpoint. Moth, ing Is better for an orchard than COW peas.
 STOCK AND POULTRY,
 Where the country is we'll watered, and grain and grasses grow in abundance. there you will find stock raising profita- ble, and the farmers Sn the Springdale district have taken advantage of the favorable con difions 10 raise large numbers of cattle and hogs. The an nual shipments from this point are large, and thousands of dollars are realized every month.
 Northwest Arkansas is as good a country for poultry as 1t js for fruit, and 1t is nip and tuck as to which industry is the most profitable. Spring dale is an extensive shipping point for poultry and eggs, and for the first six months of 1898 the shippers handled G0,OG3 pounds of poultry and lSG,600 dozen eggs, for which they paid out over S23 ,OOO During he latter part of the last half oI the year the output will be heavy. and 1t is safe 10 say that S5O,O00 will be distrib buted among the farmers for poultry and eggs during the present year.
 Thus it will be seen that Northwest Arkansas embraces a country that has unbounded resources and offers boundless inducements to the homeseek- CT and the capitalist.
 In concluding, your cores pondent desires to state that he is under special obligations . John P. Stafford, editor of The Springdale NEws, pr. D  Christian, president of the can hing factory, and one of the leading physicians of the town, w. H. Browning. a we'll known fruit grower, w. H. Searcy, general manager of the Ship pers' Union, and Welton X Renner and Campbell & Mills, real estate agents, for courte sies shown and favors ren dered.
 Another word, parties who are thinking of seeking homes in the Golden Fruit Belt, or capitalists who desire to make investments in manufacturing enterprises or in the fruit grow ing industry, will do we'll to in vestigate Springdale and the resources of the surrounding country

 The Springdale Canning Fac tory Is not only one of the leading industries of the town
 but a credit to Northwest Ark ansas. It was established Tn 1886, and has a capacity of 15, 900 cans per day. The facto ry Is a two story brick struct ure and with it's machinery anc equipments represents an out lay of $7,5O0 It is operated by a company with the follow ing officers: Dr. D. Christian president; E T. Caudle, vice president; James DodSOn, sec retary, and J. R. Harris, treas urer. During the operating 
 season the factory gives em- ployment to nearly 100 peo pie, and the cost of operating is about S6OO per day. Apples peaches and tomatoes are the principal products canned, and last year the factory turned out 3,3OO cases of gallon can apples or six car loads; 10000 cases three pound cans toma- toes, twenty car loads: and l .OOO cases, three pound can peaches, two car loads; making a total of thirty-one car loads of canned goods. Special pains are taken in putting up these goods and the pack of the Springdale factory is known far aud wide for it's eX- cellence. The goods are stand ard and find a ready market. Every year the factory pays to farmers between S3,O0O and S50OO for tomatoes alone, con tracts being made at so much per bushel before the plants are put out. This year the farmers put out over 23O. acres of tomatoes near Springdale, and will make good money on their crops
 The Northwest Arkansas Lumber Co. conducts a large blaming mill and also conducts a branch office at Fayetteville. The concern was established in 1885, and was incorporated re gently with a capital stock of S50,000 The company carries a large stock of lumber, and control not only a heavy local trade, but fill large orders for dealers III neighboring states 1t might be added in this con nec,ion that building material of all kinds is very cheap in Northwest Arkansas. and North ern and Western homeseehers can build comfortable homes for nearly half what they have been accustomed to paying.
 In addition 10 the above es- tabllshments, Springdale has four evaporating plants, two brick yards, a small cold stor age plant and a cooperage establishment.
 HORTICULTURE.
 The fruit growing industry has been one of the principal factors in the growth and pros perity of Springdale, and it is considered one of the best ap pie and berry markets along the Frisco line. Last year 327 car loads of apples were shipped from this point, and counting the dried fruit the to- tai would probably reach 800 cars. Counting 175 barrels 10 the car he output would be 57.225 barrels. During the shipping season s5,ooo were paid out on some days by the buyers, and It is safe to estl mate that S1OO,OOO was paid out at Springdale for the apple crop of 1897, This crop brought money to every body and general prosperity pre- vailed. In this connection, it may be of interest to the many readers of the Farmer and Fruitman to learn something of

TORE UP THE FLAG
And the Citizens of Arkansas Coun- ty are Intensely Indignant Over the Dastardly
 Act.
Arkansas Democrat.I

Dr. c. T. Laur, of Olena, Arkan- sas county, is in the city to see Goyarnor Jones relative to the troop of cavalry he is raising at that point and the probability Of their being called into service ln the Spanish war. He is enthusiastic and anx- ious to fight for the honor of the American flag. He has forty three men enlisted, and will experience no difficulty in securing all that are needed.
 While in the city Da. Laur called on "The Arkansas Democrat, and detailed fragrant outrage perpe- trated near his home last night by 8 desperado element that has been accustomed for some time past to acts of violence and theft. June II Dr. Lanr borrowed a flag 6x10 feet from Mrs. Bullard, postmistress at 0lena, to raise at picnic which had been arranged bring the people together to re fult the troop. Twelve men were secured the first day. Last Saturday they met at the same place for drill, and the flag was again raised, and three small flags were also displayed. To- ward evening four men came to the grounds, drunken aud drinking, and proceed to make themselves obnox- ious in true desperado style. That night before F o'clock the flags were torn from their standards and were found the next morning in the pub. lie highway trampeled into the dust and cut into srheds by some traitor ous dastards. The flag was exhib- tied in this city by Dr. Laur. and It's tattered folds were sufficient to make the blood boil in the bosom of all true patriots. The perpetrators Of the outrage are not known abso. lutely, but Dr. Laur says he and all other good citizens are morally cer- tain of their identity, and that the lntensest indignation prevails all ever the county. The parties sus pected have been engaged in cattle stealing, and other acts ot lawless ness for some time, and on certain occasions lave openly defed the law Arrests are soon to follow, and seri. ous consequences may be expected
