Chsap Lands Uhsreon Cstils Raising.
Fruit and Truck Growing arr
Highly Profitable.

An unusual effort Is being made by
| the railroad companies with lines run
ming into the Southwest TO induce a
greater immigration TO that section
than ever before. The opportunities
offered the farmer, stock raiser and
truck and fruit grower in portions of
Arkansas and Texas. are perhaps not
surpassed anywhere in the wide world.
Along the Cotton Belt Route in
Southwest Arkansas are large tracts
of land from which the timber has
been cut by saw companies which
may be cleared and made into excellent
farms. This land can be purchased
for So to s. per acre. 1t makes good
pasture land for cattle and sheep. ana
much of it will produce an average
crop of cotton, or will grow immense
crops of vegetables Of all descriptions.
SO prolific are the yields of potatoes,
onions, cabbage, melons. tomatoes,
pears, peaches, and, in fact. nearly
every kind of vegetable and fruit. the
truck growers associations are forming
at many points. The Cotton Belt is
actively assisting these associations by
granting special rates and otherwise
aiding in securing ready market for
the products. 1t IS fact OF much
Importance that wherever tuck grow
ing has been entered into the prices of
land have Immediately begun to ad-
vance.
In order to encourage this and kim
bred industries along their lines the
Southwestern railroads have put into
effect very low round trip Home
seekers rates of one way fare plus 81.
and one way Colonist rates OF half
the one way fare plus 50. from such
points as st. Louis, Cairo and Men,
phls to Arkansas. Louisiana and
Texas on the first ana third Tuesday

to visit the country for the purpose
Of LOOKING around or to locate.

STOPPED BY TWO GUNS
A PUBLIC HORSEWHIPPING THAT
DID NOT COME OFF.

PAOLI, Ind, Jan. 3.-Paoli was the
scene Of intense excitement today. IT
was announced that DR.. c. D. Driscoll,
dentist, would be publicly horsewhipped
by Miss Eva Miller, young woman who
formerly resided here, but who at present
is a clerk at Saltllo, a small town north
east of this city.
Driscoll was arrested on a charge Of
alleged ill-treatment of his family. He
was taken to his office. Then the fire
alarm was sounded and the larger por-
tion of the town gathered to see the
whipping. AS they attempted to enter
DriscolFs Office the young woman and
officers were confronted with two re-
volvers which DriscoI fourished. He
says he will not be taken alive. Intense
excitement prevails, while he remains be-
hind barricaded doors Miss Miller al
leges that he wrote her an insulting let
ter.
Driscoll was finally persuaded to come
out on the street, after being assured
that Miss Miller would be satisfied with
a public apology. Surrounded by an an
cry mob of incensed citizens, he apollo
gized to the young lady for writing the
insulting letter. He was then given
twenty days in which to close up mis-
business and leave town.
