The Central of Arkansas.

That the proposed road from Paris to Hot Springs, chartered as the Central of Arkansas, will be speedily constructed, there is no doubt whatever expressed by those acquainted with the parties financing the scheme. The di- rectors are F. A. Molitor, A. w. Tefeber, J. c. Hart, w. w. Gard : her and w. R. Abott, and it is re- ported Col. J. w. Mcleod will shortly be added to the board. All the above named gentlemen were directors of the Choctaw when that line was sold to the Rock Island and did much toward developing the Choctaw into a great railway. An agent for the Central has been at work several months buying up coal lands along the route to be traversed by this road. The line will be 15O miles long and will open up an undeveloped but enormously rich territory.

GREATLY ALARMED
By Persistent Cough, but Perma- nently Cured by Chamberlain's
 Cough Remedy

MT. H. P. Burbage, a student at law, in Greenville, 8. C., had been troubled for four or five years with a continuous cough which he says, greatly alarmed me, causing me to fear that was in the first stage of consumption. " <. Mr. Burbage, having seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy advertised, concluded to try it. Now read what he says of it: ''I soon felt a remarkable change and after using two bottles of the twenty five cent size, was per- manently cured" Sold by Green Forest Drug Go.

Railroad Work Delayed.

The citizens of Marshall are in kind of a predicament over the railroad situation. The right-of- way guarantee expires on July l., and the trains will not be running to that point by that date. Dis- cussing the situation the Mar shall Republican says:
 "As the recent rains did con- siderable damage to the grade on Brush Creek, necessitating re- pairs, Chief Engineer Lee has announced that it will be impos- sible for them to get into Mar shall by the first of July. On that date the guarantee for the right-of way between the Gap and Buffalo expires. Mr. Lee through B. J. Dalton had asked for an extension of time, stating that if it were not granted Mar shall would get no depot. While it may seem at first thought to some that we have done enough, still Marshall can't do without d depot. Think what would be- come of Marshall should the company put a depot one or two miles on either side of us. If we agreed to pay the bonus on the first of July, We could pay it just as easy on the first of September or October. While it is taking longer to build the road our mer- chants are enjoying the advan- tages of an increased trade. For Marshall's good in the future her citizens should make a new guar antee at once thereby being as- sured of a depot at a convenient point to the town. This should not be done by a half dozen men but everybody should be willing to bear his part of the burden. J

\ NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
New Board of Directors to Start

Green Forest is to have a new school building. Just what kind of a house or what manner is to be employed to get it are matters to be determined, but the direc- tors chosen at Saturdays school election are distinctively build ing board, and with the means at their command, they have no hesitancy in saying to the patrons 0f the district that a new building, one as nearly as possible if not wholly adequate to the needs of sbe district, will be commenced witRout undue delay.
 There were five directors select ed Saturday, the length of terms and vote being as follows:

Complimentary to Arkansas.

Worlds Fair Commissioner Frederick A. Betts of Connecticut visited at the home of Commis- sioner Scott of this state at the latter's home at Van Buren last week. In the course of an inter- view, Commissioner Betts said:
 ''I am truly astonished at the undeveloped resources of this section of the state. While have visited Arkansas before, this is my first visit to this section and l am particularly impressed with the amount of undeveloped coal land and the question that naturally arises is, why, with all this fuel at hand and the almost incalculable acreage of cotton land, do not cotton mills locate in this section. But I believe it is because of the lack of rail- roads. Railroads are essential to the upbuilding of any country as they bring the people of the diff ferent sections of any country into closer touch and are also great advertisers. I also notice that the good roads movement is gaining many earnest adher- ents as I attended the good roads convention in St. Louis and was surprised with the earnestness of Arkansans. This is the great est improvement any country can make. The laws of Arkansas as regards capital and investments might be more liberal and better protection given those desiring to invest money, but like the game protection law, these will come in time. The public school system is, as 1 have learned, one of the best in the union and this should be an attraction to homeseekers.
 ''The min eral fields of North Arkansas are beginning to at tract the attention of outside capital. The Missouri fields are beginning to show signs of work ing out and capitalists are begin ming to turn to the undeveloped fields of Arkansas. In fact, I know of no state in the union with more flattering prospects than Arkansas. Your fruit and berry business is conducted upon scale almost beyond belief. Strawberries shipped by train loads is a big proposition, but yet 1 know it to be so as l have had optical demonstration. Your lit- tie city impresses me favorably. The two banks doing a good bus mess and on a sound financial basis is all the evidence needed to convince any man of the pros perity of the city. That the ham ding of the berry business has been reduced to a system is shown by the fact that the farm CT brings in his berries and takes home the money for them, in this manner his employees can get pay for their work at any time they desire it. Allow me to say for Van Buren that she im- presses me as being a city that is slowly but surely climbing up- ward which is the most healthy growth and, further, that she has the best water of any city in the south that 1 have visited"

The total number of votes cast were 46, all being in favor of a 5-mill tax except three, which were recorded against tax.
 At the opening of the meetin g, the old board submitted report and estimate which showed that the 5-mill tax of last rear raised l the sum of S658.74 and the state apportionment for last year was S435 08, making a total income of fS1093 .82. The expenditures for last year were for teachers wages IS580; incidentals, S79 Al; paid Outstanding indebtedness S87 .O0, 2malling a total expenditure of sS7 46.41, leaving a cash balance sA4{ the treasury of S347.41
 q Ehe estimate on the income for the district for next year was made as follows: To be received from a 5-mill tax S760.00; from Ftate apportionment S453 .00; which sums added to cash on land make a total of S1500.41.
 The report also recommended hat immediate steps be taken oWard the erection of a suitable Rchool building.
 The five directors above named ogether with one hold-over, Dr. P, Y. Poynor, constitute the new |oard, and these gentlemen romise us that they will begin D figure in earnest on the build ng problem at once.

CARROLL BENTON'S EQUAL.
The Opinion of Fruit Man
 from Benton County.

from Benton County.
 Ben Davis of Benton county not the celebrated Ben Davis apple for which that section is so much noted, but Ben Davis, the son of the proprietor of one of the largest nurserymen and fruit growers of our sister county was in Green Forest last week, negotiating with members of the Green Forest Horticultural As- sociation for the sale of a car load or more of fruit trees for fall delivery.
 As might be expected from the name and especially the occupa- tion of this young gentleman, he is we'll informed on the subject of fruit raising, and it is needless to say that he shares not in the opinion of the editor of the Siloam Springs Republican that this is poor country, when it's possibilities are compared with those of Benton coupty. Mr. Davis says that there is no ques- tlon but that we can rival Benton county in every respect as a fruit growing section; that the lay of the lands in this county is such as to give us a diversity of crops, which is very desirable, since it is a fact that crops of every va riety have been known to be cut short, and failures are not en- tirely unknown. The fact that Benton has her faith so thor oughIy pinned to apple growing is demonstrated not to be the wise thing this year. A good crop of apples means an over- flow almost of money among the producing class at harvest, but a total failure with those who are almost dependent upon the apple crop brings almost the other ex- treme. Mr. Davis says apples and peaches are the producers of riches, no doubt about that, but 1t is not all who engage in the business that grow rich, for the reason that the producer, as a general rule, is not a money saver; they think money is val uable only for what it will buy, and they spend it and make times good; consequently are largely dependent each year for what the orchard will bring forth. With this class and for the country in general it is better that a diver sity of crops, such as berries and small fruits for market as we'll as enough grain and hay to supply the local demands be produced every season.
 Mr. Davis says that there will be fraction ot an apple crop in Benton county this year. In high places few orchards prom ise good yield, but as a conse- quence of the great shortage caused by the late frost, he looks for exceedingly dull times ill Benton county this fall. How ever, there will be no let up in the matter of planting trees, for the short crop is the exception and good times is sure to follow a a good harvest.
 MT. Davis observed that the bottom lands around here are much higher priced than the mountain and ridge lands. He said in a few years this con- dltion will be reversed; the bot tom lands are not nearly so well adapted to fruit as the uplands, and as a consequence the bot toms, no matter how we'll they lay or how rich the soil may be, will soon have second place, for the value of every acre of land will soon be measured by it's adaptability for fruit.
