,Eareka sphHes Points,

visitors OF the wonderful poSsibili

many years, for the building of a great
and wealthy state. Not only is
/ wealth gained and to be gained from
the seemingly inexhaustable mineral
lands, but a better all-around fruit
grain and vegetable section, cannot
be found, which fact is fully demon.
strated by Harrison's unprecedented
growth as an inland city. With
pure waters, and mountain air, what
more could mortal ask than a home.
with the chance of lifetime, in Die
turcsque Northern Arkansas, the
state thatzhas borne more ridiculS
from the narrOw-minded than ariy
other in the Union Yet, which to-
dayhas produced some of the braiuest
men, the finest fruits and agricultural
products known, and now, through
recent mineral discoveries, holds its
own with all the zinc, lead and COD
per mines in the world, and bids fair
to excel beyond ali widest dreams.
We would liken Harrison to the
sun as she appears above the horizon
Fsending her rays of light in every
direction when we associate it with
the many roads leading to the in

but so thoroughly has collections of
ore been made and information pre-
pared that the visitor feels he is
ready to enjoy the trip through the 9
mineral fields to a greater extend
than he anticipated, because of the
enlightment received.
fThe band of energetic men who
formed the backbone of Harrison's
successful career. in the davs its of
youth did not take a back seat and
wait for railroad capitalist to plant a
town in this desirable spot, but an
swering the demands of the country
around for central shipping point,
put their shoulders to the wheel, and
now to-day what is the result of
their labor? Not sleepy old-fashion-
ed country village, as one often finds
similarly situated in many places,
but an up-to-date, get up and go
city of the fourth class, standing as
a shining mark of industry and gen
eral richness of the surrounding coun-i
try, fifty miles from any railroad :,
with all the advantages of a railroa ad
town; electric lights, FIVE comfor-
table hotels, three flour mills, wagon
factory ice uIant-nu'Al:-
colleges, handsome business blocks
connected by telephone system; three
first-class newspapers, churches, bank
many elegant residences. In fact.
no town of three thousand popula3
ton on the biggest railroad ever
built, offers more advantages and
has more progressive ideas than the
city of Harrison, and when the rail
road now under construction from
Eureka Springs reaches here in the
coming autumn, no fault can be
found with this delightful location,
The people, although, in the midst
of the stream of excitement that dis
covereies of rich mineral heldSial-
ways produce, still pursue their busin-
ess in a calm business-like manner and
instead of letting excitement carry
them to the practice of sharpness as
in the average mineral town, pre-
serve the old time courteOusness and
straight forward honesty towards
the greatest of greenhorns who may
set foot in their town.
The newspapers, the real estate
men, in fact all the business people
are placing before the public every
thing in advertising matter concern
ing the mineral lands of Northern
iArkansas, that money and brains
can produce.
