 Asked to Come Here in 1905.

ual in the county upon the subject )of fruit growing is undoubtedly Capt. T. F. Hawley of Eureka Springs. He simply boils over With enthusiasm when discussing the subject, and we will guarantee he can give you more fruit sta- tistics and practical suggestions on orchard culture from memory than you can learn by reading compiled statistics for six months. |8 Capt. Hawley is not engaged in orcharding himself nor does he Expect to do so. He has good paying business in Eureka s.Springs and besides this his E physical condition and age are both against him when it comes | to proposition of that kind, but he knows exactly what the soil of this country is good for, and he is anxious to see others grasp the golden opportunities now before them. In other words, he is a crank upon the fruit subject. He declares he would walk further to F see nice, well-kept orchard than he would to see the finest circus that ever traversed the United States; and he is more than ready, willing and anxious to help push E any movement that will strength en the effort to develop the fruit Possibilities of this section.
 Capt. Hawley was a Green For est visitor last Monday. He came here for the sole and only purpose fenlisting our citizens into an 5ffort to bring the next annual meeting of the Arkansas Horti cultural Society, which is now in session at Fayetteville, to Green Forest. His plan was to get as many as possible of our fruit growers and citizens to go to Fayetteville to attend the present meeting of the association and while there work individually and collectively upon the members of the association to bring the 1903 meeting to our town, and there is no doubt but that if the Green Foresters now in Fayetteville upon this mission are as success ful as was Capt. Hawley in get ting the effort started, Green For sst will be the place of the next meeting of the association beyond sdoubt. Capt. Hawley prom sed to go with our delegation to he meeting and help pull for us. He thinks that the effects of this tate meeting upon the local fruit interests would be of incalculable 1alue to our people, both for the lirect knowledge of fruit raising ibtained from the greatest lights # fthe state and the advertise nent our section would get as a ruit producing locality.
 There is nothing SO firmly fixed n the mind of Capt. Hawley as hat there is millions in the fruit iusiness. He believes inside of
