Will Engage in Stock Raising.

Capt. L. S. Arnold arrived home
Monday afternoon from Fort At
kinson, Wis, with five head of fine
thoroughbred Holstein cattle for
his stock farm over in the bottom.
He expects to engage in stock rails
ing, and will raise nothing but
thoroughbred stock. We believe
he IS branching out in the right
direction, for there is a great and
ever increasing demand for good
stock. 1t costs no more to raise a
good animal than q scrub, and a
good COW of this breed is worth as
much as three or four ordinary
COWS. Captain Arnold has had a
number of Aberdeen-Angus cattle
on his farm for some time, but
these are the first thoroughbred
Holsteins ever brought to this
county. The five head cost some
thing over five hundred dollars.

other wild foods, supports them
almost the entire year. When
these wild fruits are not failure,
which seldom occurs, they become
fat enough for porkers in the for
est without any feeding.
Sheep and goats can live almost
the entire year without feeding
and sheep raising would be a profit
able industry. Our hill lands
abound in forests and grazing lands
highly adapted to the successful
growing Of sheep and goats.
We can truthfully say to the
stock raiser that you can find no
better region for the investment
of your capital, if you desire to
raise stock at almost no expense,
than the eastern part of our coun-
ty. If you desire to grow
thoroughbred stock you can find
no better field, on account of the
easy culture of timothy, clover,
corn and other feed stuffs.

Obituary.

Minnie Belle Minis, the beloved
wife of W. c. Minis, died at her
home in this city at an early hour
Tuesday morning April %, after a
brief illness. Deceased was born
in independence county January
a, 1881, and was the only daught-
er of Mr.. and Mrs. w. 7. Mag
ness.
She was married to w. G. Minis
December 81, 1899. She leaves
two children, Eloise aged three
years, and I. j., an infant of two
months.
Minnie will be greatly missed,
having lived here since her early
childhood. She leaves large cir
Gle of relatives and friends. Her
beautiful character and sweet dis
position brought love and admira-
ton from the hearts of all who
knew her.
She was dutiful wife, obedient
daughter, affectionate sister and
devoted mother. While it is sad
to see her taken away from her
little family circle, we feel that
she has reached that fair land
where her sufferings and trials are
over.
The funeral services were held
at the home by Rev. Jas. Melon
aid. His words were beautiful
and impressive, and his sentiments
sacred with tender sympathies for
the bereaved husband, father,
mother, absent brother and moth
erless babes. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful. None
could gaze on the silent form as she
lay smiling in her robe and casket
of spotless white without thinking
"Oh, child of purity, peace to thy
soul.
The remains were inferred at
Blue Springs cemetery in the pres
ence of a large assembly of friends
and relatives.
May Heavens tender mercies
be sent to the bereaved ONES and a
guiding hand to direct the. dear
children to their angel motaer.

year. Drouths of long continu-
ance are unknown. Our geograph
zeal position practically insures
us against these obstacles in agri-
culture.
TIMBER.
The timber resources of this re-
gion are almost inexhaustible. 1t
consists of about 80 varieties, the
most important of which are white
oak, red oak, burr oak, willow
oak and sweet gum. In the south
ern and southeastern portions of
the county are large quantities of
white pine, which is made into
lumber for building and many 9TH
er purposes. In the eastern part
of this region are thousands of
acres of timber land growing all
the hard wood varieties in the ut
most profusion. These lands can
be bought for sum at which, in
many instances, the timber will
more than pay for the land when
worked off, and even after the tim
Der is taken off the land is still
worth more than the original cost.
The opportunities for investors
who are interested in the manufac-
tnre of hardwood timber into ar
ticles of commerce are excellent.
and there is ample room and sup
/ ply for many such industries for
years to come, as the suppl Y is
wonderful.
Besides the above named hard
woods, we have an immense guam
tity of sweet gum, which is excel
lent in the manufacture of lumber
used for both building purposes
and furniture. There are also
large quantities of hack berry, elm,
maple and cottonwood which could
be used in making barrels, boxes,
etc.
A more profitable field for any
one who desires to engage in in
dustries of this line, such as We
neerlng, etc.. cannot be found,
perhaps, i'll the South. Such an
ticles as slaves, spokes, hubs, bar
rels, handles, in fact hundreds of
devices, can be manufactured here
at a very small cost.
Again we say to the prospective
investor or manufacturer in tim
Der, you cannot make mistake by
coming to this region. You will
find hearty welcome here. La
Dor is cheap and transportation
for your products is convenient.
STOCK RAISING.
This is one of the most import
ant and lucrative industries of this
region. Our native wild grasses,
in the bottom lands, grow in the
utmost luxuriance, and are suffici-
ent to support hundreds of cattle,
horses and sheep almost the entire
year. Some horses and cattle are
never fed, but range in the forests
the entire year and survive. Large
herds of cattle and horses roam
the bottom lands until Christmas,
when they are taken up and fed
only until about the 10th of March
or 1st of April, and again turned
on the range. In many localities
of our bottom lands, the wild grass
vet grows sufficiently luxuriant to
be mown and stored away for wins
ter use us hay. This with the easy
culture of an abundant supply Of
timothy and alfalfa hay, renders
the cost of keeping stock for the
entire year almost nothing.
Hogs will thrive in the forests
almost without any attention. The
product of the oak, hickory and

This fact is just as certain as two

you do not feel able to buy this

CLIMATE.
Our climate is continental, and
of course, like all other continent
al climates, is subject to changes.
But these changes, on account of
our southern latitude, are neither
so sudden nor severe as those of
the more northern states. Tenn
pered by q southern latitude and
an altitude of only $50 to $50 feet
above sea level, renders the climat-
ic conditions mild and salubrious.
Extreme heat and cold are un-
known. The temperature is sell
dom higher than 80 degrees Farh.
in summer, or lower than zero in
winter. The coolest weather ever
known, by the oldest inhabitant
was in February, 1899, when the
mercury stood only II degrees be-
low zero. and then only for very
few days.
The summer season is long and
pleasant. The time for planting
and eultivating crops is from
March to August. Corn may be
planted in assurance of a bounti-
ful yield any time from March Is
to July LIST. Cotton is planted
from April 10th to May 18th. The
long seasons in which crops may
grow and mature renders this re-
gion most desirable one for the
farmer.
The autumns are long and pleas
ant, which are the most fayora bic
to the farmer for the gathering
and harvesting Of his crops after
they are made.
The picking of cotton and the
gathering of corn begin the first of
September and continues until af-
ter Christmas. Killing frosts are
of rare occurrence before October
10Th or November 1st. The win
ters are short and mild, seldom be-
ing so severe that laborer cannot
work on the farm the year round.
While the writer is penning
these lines, the 18th of April, our
gardens are bursting into life with
their treasures for the table
throughout the coming summer.
All nature is investing itself with
a beautiful dress of green. The
flowers of our yards and gardens
have already burst forth with all
their sweetness and fragrance of
spring. The gentle COW comes in
each evening from the pastures
and forests, painting with fullness
from the green and rich treasures
from the bosom of Mother Earth.
The planting of cotton IS in pro-
gress, corn may be planted any
time until the LIST of July; the first
crop of the season for the fields of
alfalfa will be ready to harvest by
the 18th of May, and be followed
by another crop every 4 weeks
thereafter until frost.
Verify, this is paradise for the
farmer.

about so inches per wear. and is
