the man to whom Arkansas extends a spe-

resident person the idea that the country
is new and largely unsettled. Such how
ever is not the case. 1t is almost impOssi-
BILE o find a spot in Arkansas where ther
is neither church nor school privileges. In
fact, both church and school privileges are
found in all parts OF the state, beside
roads are established and streams are
bridged in most sections. 1t is not to be un-
| derstood however that perfect system of
! highways and bridges exist in all parts OF

periences of pioneers. School and church
| facilities and all the institutions which
/ mark the communities of the middle and
western states are established here. though
much land is unOccupied. Newcomers
/ who arrive early can procure lands at al
| most as low figures as did the pioneers,
and yet be surrounded by nearly all the
! comforts and improved conditions as in
| the land they leave behind them.
