The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1901-12-28

: = -
POLITICALLY known as the Land OF the
Ozarks, whose towering peaks are
covered with forests, and the plateaus
and valleys with rich vegetation and
great varieties of choice timber. The
mountains parallel with each other
like waves of the seas, and silver
streams murmur increasingly on their
way to the mighty Father of Waters.
The valleys and plateaus are un-
surpassed anywhere for agrarian pur-
poses, while the wonderfully salubri-
ous climate pure water and other rare
combinations make North Arkansas
one of the most delectable spots be-
meath the stars for human habitation.
Turning to the material side of this
locality's natural wealth, we find that
in addition to the productive soil,
magnificent climate and pure water,
our forests contain nearly one hum
dred varieties of native wood and a
great variety of minerals.
Zinc, ga1ena, copper, iron, granite
and marbles are profitably mined or
quarried.
Hills, valleys, rivers and forests 50
diversity this intramontane expanse
as to make it lovely and restful to the
eye, and no pen can describe the
beauty and picturesqueness of the
scenery.
With medium altitude, dry,
tonic, invigorating and ozoniferols
atmosphere North Arkansas appeals
to those whose constitutions require a
change, to come, drink of her air arid
waters and be made we'll Many
springs, whose waters have been thor
ough1y tested are found to contain
medicinal qualities equal to the fam
! famed Carlsbad Springs, of Europe.
~ All the conditions that are required
to promote life, health and content
ment are clustered in the Land of
the Ozar ks.'' Thc surroundings I'D
North Arkansas are such as to inspire
man with noble aspirations, pure
thoughts and gentle actions. He is
near natures heart; everything blends
in perfect harmony and the romantic
scenery seems to blossom with joy.
4 North Arkansas is the very garden
spot of the state and besides its adapt
ability for stock raising and diversi-
fed farming, offers special induce
ments for fruit growing.
Y The climate seems to be conducive
to the development of the greatest en-
terprise in the individual, as well as
to the greatest productiveness of the
soil and diversity of products. The
field of opportunity is as wide here as
it is in any country-and wider for
| the poor man who is not afraid of
work. If You want to raise hogs,
/ sheep or cattle get small place close
| to the mountains and turn them loose.
If you want to raise turkeys, geese,
chickens or poultry of any kind, you
can do so with scarcely an effort.
Although the country has been set
tied many years, the early settlers
we're content with stock raising and
farming, but the last few years atten-
ton has been attracted to the vast
mineral fields of Boone, Marion, New
ton, Searcy and Carroll counties. Our
agricultural and mineral resources are
beyond calculation, and although de-
velopment is in it's infancy, this is in
the no distant future destined to be
come one of the RICHEST zinc fields OF
Nrfae United States.
n>this tremendous rush of eventsi
changes come quickly. Development
is rapid and he who would grasp the
opportune moment to mount upon the
wave of success in specultion must
do so very soon. "A year, if we reckon
time by its results, may outmeasnre
centuries of olden times. The old
maxim, ''Strike while the iron is hot, -
is particularly applicable to those who
desire a home or profitable investment
in North Arkansas. The time is now
hot. Just the proper heat, strike.
