TO RAISE ANGoRA COATS.
Big Company Organized in This
 County for That Purpose-

at Eureka Springs. 1t IS an orr ganization to be known as the Arkansas Angora Stock Com pany, and is duly incorporated under the laws of the state with 8 capital stock of S25, ,000.
 The purpose of the new enter prise is to promote the Angora goat industry in Carroll county.
 The officers of the incorporation are: president-Chas. Lee Requa of Howard county Mo, man who is well yersed upon the sub- ject of Angora goat raising; vice president-A. s. Bobo, merchant and capitalist of Berryville; sec- retary-E. M. Bare, circuit clerk of Carroll county, Eureka Springs; treasurer--D. ]. West, cashier of the Carroll County Bank of Berryville. The aboye- named officers, together with Dr. Chas. Reed, proprietor of the Magnetic Spring Hotel of Eure- ka Springs, constitute the board of directors, the last t-named gen. tleman being chairman of the board. Among other stock holders may be named T. J Brumfield, lessee of the Wads-. worth Hotel of Eureka Springs; E. c. Beach, auditor of the St. Louis & North Arkansas railroad; Dr. Charles Bergstresser, Eureka Springs; W. B. Brown, mayor of the city of Eureka Springs; and Arch Kimberlin of the firm of Freeman & Kimberlin, livery men, of Eureka Springs.
 Thus, it will be seen that the scheme is well financed, backed by men who have all made suc- cess in their private affairs, and all of whom are permanent citi- zens of our own county, except Mr. Requa, and he informs us that it is his intention to become a citizen here soon. There is plenty of energy and money behind the movement and it is hardly necessary to suggest that it will be a success.
 Mr. Requa, the president and promoter of the enterprise, was a visitor in Green Forest Tuesday and edneSday. He came sim ply to get acquainted with our people and look over this section of the country, all of which seems to,impress him very much. He expects to include this terri tory in the operations of his com pany, and assures us that the fruit industry will be one of the great drawing cards that his company will use in bringing people to this country. He was simply amazed at our fruit ex- hlbit which is being prepared for the St. Louis fair and declares that it is only necessary to give the advantages here afforded for commercial orcharding proper advertising to have people of money flocking here by the thousands.
 Relative to the Angora goat industry, Mr. Requa says the inducements here for the raising of goats is the best in the land, that the unparalleled opportuni- ties afforded are solely responsi- ble for his coming here. It is his purpose to work several of the northern states, advertising this line of industry, and to corporate with the immigration agents of the various railroads leading this way, and to fill the country up with a class of new citizens, who will help in the country S material development. He says there are thousands upon thous-' ands of land owners in the north, who would be only too glad to dispose of their high priced lands and come here and buy up what is now the waste portions of this country, which can be purchased almost for song, and utilize it for goat ranches and orchards, where they can grow rich with even less money to start with than 1t takes to run an ordinary farm up north.
 Mr. Requa is enthusiastic on this proposition and he has a right to be, for there is not a
