To the Editor of The Progress:
Recalling, by q flash of memory,
my bright childhood days within the

ones under the shadow of your pines.
Our Western Arkansas seems far
away from the march of progress,
but it is only IN the seeming.
This beautiful Ozark land lies in
the fairest garden spot of the word.
The summers are cool and bracing,
the winters mild and delightful, the
bubbling springs are marvellous, the
ripping streams of pure water are
enchanting.
Our skies rival the Italian piano.

Polk county has good district
schools and her towns have most ex-
cellent graded schools.
The county seat is the abiding place
OF a state senator, the legislature, the
prosecuting attorney, the presiding
elder of the M. E. church, and sew
eral writer's of some distinction.
Polk county also has within her
borders a niece of Russell Sage and
an aunt of Joel Chandler Harris.
We have some natural advantages,
and also the power to draw to our
citizenship people of ability, enter
prise and distinction.
This is the finest fruit land in the
world. The large orchards are in a
paying condition, having been plant
ed during the last six years, and, as
we'll the old orchards of many years
growth attest this.
GrannIs has some splendid null
plants, among the number the most
important is a crate factory. Next
season Messrs. Moore and Bevens
will be prepared also to can fruit and
vegetables.
Grannis has good society and good
homes.
There will be goodly number of
prominent visitors to summer among
the citizens this season.
Here one sleeps under cover all
summer. Mosquitoes are unknown.
There is very little dust and the most
genial climate under the sun. It is

youth" Come and see. Hundreds
come here from the lands south of us
to summer. Invalids grow strong,
the weary find rest and the well go
home, refreshed and much more able
to cope with business problems. To
the lover of nature it is land of en-
chantment. Cordially yours,

INTERESTING CEREMONY,

Short mention was made last week
as we went to press of the ceremo-
MES of breaking ground for the new
shirt factory and town hall at this
place. The building is to be SO by
20 feet. Below will be the factory
and above it the hall. There will
be 20-foot raised stage in this latter,
and the floor will be inclined to give
the seats proper elevation. Private
boxes will also be part of the ar
rangement. We have for some years
had spacious hall in the Chesa
peake Academy building, but it has
not been able to accommodate the
immense crowds that attend our en-
tertainments.
To Mrs. Caroline F. Burn, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, is due more than any
other the movement for a new hall.
She is lady of Dieans and a great
friend of Irvington and its people.
To her, naturally, fell the honor of
breaking ground for the new build
ing. The ceremony was interesting.
Under the management of Capt. w.
l.. Messick an impromptu program
was carried out. Mr.. T. G.. Newbill
made few appropriate remarks and
the spade was handed Mrs. Burn,
who took out the first spadeful of
earth for the foundation. A little
later she laid the first brick, and
thus the structure was begun.
Begun with woman's refining in
fluence and polished touch, may the
edifice rebound to her honor and the
welfare of our town and people.

utes' dickering with what was really
a trst-class article of competition, to
make it appear worthless alongside
of their own, although the latter in
reality was a much inferior article.
1t is also a policy of some manu-

such like to take in trade a competi-

but with some vital fault or ingeni-

wise to jump at hasty conclusions
on evidences put forth by competi-
tors. Try, experiment and prove for
yourself before becoming dissatisfied.
