OIL THOUGHTS RICH SOIL.

''The famous oil trough sec- tion in Independence and Jack son counties is blossomlng like 8 roae," said a travelling man to a Little Rock representative Thurs day. It is one of the most fer tile areas in Arkansas and the fortunate farmers there are llv- ing in ease and comfort.
 By the way, l heard how that rich stretch of lands got it's name, Oil Trough In the early days that county was full of bears and the hunters had g har- vest. Bear oil was a staple and plentiful commodity and the method of shipping it was unique. Troughs were hewn in logs and the oil placed therein and thus transported to market. Hence the designation Oil Trough. -.....
 ''The town of Oil Trough on White river is enjoying g steady and substantial growth. The place has been plated off in tracts 25O by 300 feet and these are being acquired by prosperous farmers in the surrounding coun- try who desire to make the town their home. 7
 Gull L. Pearce, the Democratic nominee for circuit clerk of ln- dependence county, is one of the leading citizens of that section and he tells me that the people there were never more prosper ous. One of the sources of their prosperity is tn growing of al- falfa, which has become a great revenue-producer in that section. As much as five crops year are made and the product has a ready sale.
 "Oil Trough, the town, is five miles from Newark and ten miles from Newport. It must be a pretty .healthful country, for l noticed when l was in that sec ton a few days ago a number of old people who have lived there from their infancy.''
