1, 400 feet above the town to the north as a barrier to the northern blizzards. We bid defiance alike to malarial influences, pneumon- ial tendencies and rheumatism. The residents of Mena and par ticularly the rosy checked child ren, are all living witnesses to the healthfulness of the place,
 few if any being i'll, except those who come here, bringing their aches and ailments with them and all of these soon experience comforting relief. This city, to- gether with Mount Mena of the Rich Mountain range to the north, where has been established summer resort, are already be- ing taken advantage of by people in the hot, malarial districts in

These are the. nearest and the tirstt points, located where the clouds come down and kiss the mountain tops, that the people of the. low and swampy lands to the. south can go,. and since the build-- ing of the Port Arthur Route it is but few hours, journey, and anl easy task for them to do so.
 Its Future Prospects.
 The prospects of Mena for 1898 are bright. The timber and lu1n- Der, fruit, agricultural and stock. manufacturing and mercantile in- dustries, as referred to in other portions of this paper, are all in their infancy. It takes a little. time to develop these industrial enterprises, which could never have been done without the build ing of railroad, but men with brawn are leveling the forests, farm lands are being cleared, fruits planted, stock ranches opened, manufacturing and mer- cantile establishments started, all bringing labor to those seeking

 Mena will become the county seat during the year. Already 1,200 voters have petitioned the county court to call an election to vote on the proposition to move the county seat from Dallas to Mena, and the court has called a special session to take action on the petition. The townsite com pany has donated an entire block of ground upon which to build the court house and donated S5000 in cash toward building one, hay ing thus "touched the button, " the people can be depended on to do the rest, especially as there is practically no opposition to the removal of the county seat from

A review of Mena for the year 897 is certainly a pleasuraDle ask for all who are i'll any mat- Ier interested in its welfare. The rowth of the town has been re- uarkable, and at the same time, teady and substantial, entirely old of those boom features that ave characterized the starting nd building of some other new owns.
 The erection of homes and bus less houses have continued teadily along, only in response the immediate demand for oc- lpancy and use, and the charac- IT of the buildings have improv- las ostyle and stability in pro- ortion to the growth of the wn, and the time that could be iven by those who expected to scupy them. Early in the year Speaking of Mena it was nec- sary to tell where 1t was located no such place was shown upon e typographical maps then pub she'd and not infrequently orders nt to Eastern cities for articles be shipped to this place, were turned for further instructions, No such place being shown upon map" or known by the par Is to whom orders were address Not so now, however, the me of Mena abroad has increas-

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
ESSENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS. IN A
 WE'LL REGULATED TOWN.
Ihey Have Grown in Numbers, Use.
 fntness and Influence Rapidly During the Year I8ozs.

N'Ae or the flrstquestions, asked oy the average intelligentand law. abiding citizen. looking for a home In new community is, what are your school facilities. and church privileges!
 Considering the newness of the town and the fact that on April 1, 1857, there was no, organization of this school district, and further that up to the present time not dollar of public tax has been col lected in the district for school purposes, Mena can give good answer to- these questions.
 Early m the season the townsite> company erected upon the, grounds donated for that purpose. neat school house of two rooms at cost of about $1, TOO, thinking that this would be all that would be needed for the year. The ex- pense of erecting this building was provided for from the 14 per cent tax on the company's sale of lots as specified in the original deeds and as mentioned in another place in this paper.
 When the time approached, however, for the opening of the school it was found that the town had grown so rapidly that the school enumeration numbered nearly 500 and that provisions must be made for more rooms and a larger number of teachers than the most optimistic admirer of our town thought would be necessary few months previous.
 To meet the emergency the school board arranged for the erection of temporary building upon the school grounds, large enough for three rooms and later secured the use of the Baptist church building to relieve the crowded condition of the five rooms then occupied.
 These rooms are now presided over by one principal and six teachers, having under their charge an average attendance of $50 and an enrolment of nearly 500 pupils.
 Surely these facts tell with un- mlstakable terms of Mena's rapid growth during 1897.
 The school district was organ ized Tn April by the election of six directors, and at the school election in May tax of five mills was voted, two for building and three for the pay of teachers. The district comprises all of the incorporated town of Mena, which is about two miles square, and it is estimated that there is about one-fourth million dollars worth of taxable property within the limits.
 One feature of the school laws of Arkansas that appears to pos sess practical utility is the ap- pointment by the directors of the district of visiting committee whose duty it is to visit the schools quite often during their session and report to the directors any changes, or suggestions, it may deem best for the improve ment or better conduct of the schools.
 A normal school of one months duration was held in Mena during the month of June by Charles C. Gordon. At It's close the teach

 How r1ena Has Grown.


 A careful count by one of the Star force, develops the fact that there has been 233 cottages, resi- dences and business houses erect ed here during the year just clos ed and this count only includes those that are of a permanent character. Of these 104 were built upon the original townsite, "A upon the Vineyard addition, 34 upon the Hall addition, 63 up- on the Eureka addition, and upon the Hornbeck Place s, not includ- ing a large nnmber of little "shacks, (which should be consid- ed pretty good showing.

The Mena weekly star., 1898-01-26

most of the territory incorporated together with careful and conser- vative estimates show that we now have 3,185 people here, the majority of whom came and mads themselves homes during the year recently closed.
 At the beginning of the year no school district had ever been organized, or a dollar of school tax collected, or public school taught, but at it's close, we have an organization and school board, with six school rooms crowded to their utmost capacity, presided. over by principal and six teach-- CTS, with an enrolment of nearly 500 pupils which would quickly be increased to GOO if it were pos-- sible under present conditions, to provide rooms and teachers for them.
