contiguous to the St. Louis 6 North Arkansas railroad, which will require from four to seven years, owing to the variety, to bear paying crops. We call the attention of the investor to this country as an undeveloped field point at which to start with small capital, secure cheap lands and at the same time have rail- road facilities.
 In order to prove the future possibilities of this untried and undeveloped field now in ques- ton, we have only to investigate the present condition of the neighboring counties-Washino- ton and Benton-along the line of the Frisco, and note the rapid strides these counties have made since the advent of the railroad. Is years ago.
 The towns of Rogers, Spring dale and Fayetteville alone, ship ped in 1897, 1, Ill carloads of ap- ples, which reached an estimate in value of S375, ,000.
 Benton county's apple crop last season was estimated at D. liz cars of green and 170 cars of dried fruit, valued at S1, ,060,000. sThe Washington county crop was estimated at S1, 300, ,000.
 R. H. Patterson of Pea Ridge, Benton county, sold the apples on a 30-acre orchard for 5000 and the buyers gathered the apples and secured 2,000 barrels of No. apples, besides the culls, Mr. Patterson also sold S400 worth of peaches last season, realizing in all S3, 400 off fof less than 40 acres, or over S100 per acre.
 Fruit growing is the most profi- table and pleasant business in which one can engage, especially in the beautiful climate in North Arkansas. Land is high in the vicinity of the large commercial orchards in Washington and Benton counties, but there is an opening here for investors of all circumstances.
 The study of fruit and how to produce them furnishes an inYlt- ing field for thought. "He who plants a tree is a benefactor. He who plants an orchard is a philanthropist, whose name will be recorded on the pages of his tory and go down to future gen. erations as a friend and bene- factor to mankind.

Gov. Davis Has Another Clash.


 A Little Rock dispatch says the latest matter of interest in penitentiary affairs is the rupture that has occurred between Gov. Davis and Honorable Rees E. IIogins of Russellyille, whom he appointed superintendent to suc- ceed Col. E. T. Mcconnell. The report has caused considerable surprise as the public believed the two to be the warmest political and personal friends. Accord ing to the report Gov. Davis asked the superintendent to put a rela- tive of the governor in charge of the light plant at tine Institution, which Mr. Hogins refused to do. Some rather spicy correspon- dence passed between them and the governor is said to have made the statement tbat if he could not discharge him he could use his influence before the next state senate to prevent his confirma- tion. Another phase of the con- troversy was brought up before the board at it's meeting yester- day when the governor made a. motion that Joe Moore, commis- sary clerk at the penitentiary he summarily and arbitrarily dis missed, stating as his reason that when 8 man becomes so thor oughly proficient in the discharge of his duties that he is able to do the work of three or four men it is time to let him go. The mo- tion failed to get a second and was made of record only upon the insistence of the governor. The statement was made opeEly that the governor wanted the place given to a brother-in law of his.

Read It iii His Newspaper.

George Sceaub, a we'll known German citizen, of New Lebanon, Ohio, is constant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in it's columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buy inc. a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: "After using the Pain Balm for few days my wife said to me, I feel as though born anew, and before using the en- tire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirel ly vanished and she could again take up her household duties.
 He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise Will hear of her wonderful recovery. This valuable liniment is for sale by the Green Forest Drug Co.

 mium wherever exhibited.
 It the Worlds Fair Exposition,
 u at New Orleans in 1885, Ar lsas was awarded first prem ] for the best display in apples, kehes and pears, and carried premiums on individual speci- |ns.
 Et Boston during the Pomo- bgical Exposition, the first |mium for excellence was ain given to Arkansas. Again at San Fransiseo in b8, Arkansas carried off the first nors, and this, too, over Cali mia, the acknowledged fruit untry of the world.
 And at the Worlds Columbian position in Chicago in 1893, kansas carried off the Sweep lkes" and seven other prem ns of fruits, in competition with } world.
 At the Cotton States and In- national Exposition held at lanta, Ga., in 1895, Arkansas s awarded first prize on her it.

However found upon Investigating the ,ords of the St. Louis G North kansas railroad freight office tt there were shipped from .rrison, last season, $500 bar s of apples, besides 8 great my kept in cold storage hold for higher prices, and some tt was, shipped from other sta ns in the county.

Mysterious Robbery.

Monday night a robbery occurred
here which is surrounded by a GER
tain amount Of mystery. z. A.
Dampier who is in charge of A. L.
McKinnon's saloon rooms in the
Bergman building near the electric
light plant. When he retired that
night he had SOB in bills in his
pantaloons pockets On awakening
in the morning his pants were gone
and also tire money. He found the
pants in the next room and on the
floor a baggage check. Thinking
the check might afford a clue to the
robber he turned it over to the
sheriff, who stationed a deputy at the
depot to watch results, About 10
O'Clock A. j, Kent, a drummer for
an Atlanta paper house claimed the
trunk and was promptly arrested.
He was allowed to furnish bail in the
sum of $3.50 and Eli Wise, Gus.
Godcllaux and D. l.. Mcpherson.
signed the bond as his statements. Az
to the, boss of the check and his
whereabouts satisfied them of his
innocence.
Kent being released took the 2:1o
O'Clock train and went on his way
rejoicing. Dampier, however did
not do much rejoicing. On the con-
trary he felt sore that Kent had beer
released. While in this frame of
mind he met ,one of the bondsmen
and IN the discussion which ensued
made an assault and was jailed until
next morning when he was fined
s7.50 by Mayor Leguenec.
