THE COUNTRY We live IN
Some Facts About Newark and Vicinity.

cultivated, ana yle1dlng abundant
crops.
SOIL.
The soils commonly found in the
area under consideration are of
three kinds, to wit The sandy
loan, clay, and alluvial, or silt.
The sandy loan is found in the
hills, or undulating regions, be-
meath which underlles a stratum of
red clay. There are some small
areas of this soil which contain
gravel, but not in sufficient guam
titles to- prevent easy cultivation.
The greater portion of this area is
clear of rock, and is easily cult
waited. The pure soil in this region
is two to eight inches deep, and
the red clay underlying it is rich
in iron, magnesia and other miner
al constituents necessary to plant
growth. Much of the northern
part of the area under considera-
ton is underlaid with limestone,
the gases from which renders the
soil very fertile. The entire sur
face of this area is nicely adapted
to fruit growing, either in large Or
small fruits. All the small fruits,
such as strawberries, raspberries,
ETC., when once planted, grow in
the utmost profusion, almost with
out any attention. The region di-
rectly north and west of Newark
cannot be excelled for its POSSIBLE
tiles in fruit culture. Apples will
grow as prolific in this region rs
anywhere in the world, with prop
er culture, and are almost u never
failing crop. No region can excel
this in the growth of the peach, or
the flavor and deliciousness of its
fruit, though the peach is some
times killed by late frosts, but the
yield is SO abundant that the fruit
grower is abundantly paid for his
outlay, if he only gets one crop in
three years. Pears, plums, cher
ries and grapes grow profusely.
The yield of this same region
with respect to corn is from 20 to
40 bushels per acre; cotton from
500 to 800 pounds; wheat 10 to
20 bushels; oats from 10 to rs
bushels. Almost the entire area
of this hill region will grow red
clover and the COW pea in abund-
ance.
There is no better region for one
who is looking for lucrative in
vestment with the view of engag-
ing in fruit culture, than to make
his investment in this region. If
he does not desire to engage in the
above named business, the land is
fertile enough to amply remuner-
ate him for his toll in any species
of crops.

LOVE A BACKNUMBER.


past have no place in our modern
civilization. We still speak of
love, but it is either not the love
of our fathers and mothers, or we
have new and improved methods
of expressing it.
Love. What is loyel
There is not one young man or
young woman of the really " swell
sets' in hundred who could give
and ineligible definition of the
word. In the rural districts we
can occasionally find some of the
old sentiment-the love that bound
two hearts and lives together for
better or for worse" but it is al
most unknown in the cities, and
even the country places are rapid
ly outgrowing the old sentimental
traditions that made happy mar
riages and left but little work for
the divorce courts.
Time was when the young wom-
an displayed maidenly shyness
in the presence of her lover; when
the mere mention of his name
caused q blush to mount her cheeks;
when the man with whom she had
plighted her troth represented to
her all the masculine virtues. Those
were the days of the old reign,
when the odd, old story was ev-
err new. Those were the days of
romance.
But today love is out of date,
back number; a dead one. y
The girl Of today does not set
her lover upon pedestal and
point to him as a model for the
world to follow. No, she is much
more likely to refer to him rs
sort of "namby-pamby being
who is all we'll enough as a com
venient person to escort her to
theaters, parties and picnics and to
pay for lemonade and chewing
pum-possibly to marry, if some
ether fellow does not come along
Vino appeals more forcibly to some
of her changing moods.
1t is convenience, not love, that
brings about the majority of the
marriages today.
Neither is the young man of to
day the young man of a generation
or two past. He no longer wor-
ships at the shrine of femininity.
He does not choose his language
in her presence, but she hears from
his lips the latest street slang, II
not profanity. He is not overly
careful that she should not see him
at the gambling table or coming
from the saloon door. In fact he
cares much less for the good opin-
ion of the young ladies of his ac-
quaintance than he did of yore.
And it is the young lady who is
greatly to blame for this state of
affairs.
She has sacrificed her place in
his estimation by not only laugh
ing at his vulgarities, but often
times by indulging in like ones.
She uses the most approved slang;
she discusses without a blush sub
lects which were as q sealed book
to her mother and grandmother;
she Is too good a fellow" with
the boys for them to appreciate
her true place as woman. She it
is who has driven much of the ro-
nance from this staid old world of
ours.
May the days of the future bring
it back to us.

The town of Newark was found
ed in 1888, by the laying out or
surveying of eight blocks on the
north side of the White River
Branch of the Iron Mountain Ry.
This railway was only constructed
the year before, when the first
business house was also built in
what is now a fourshing and pros
porous little city of about 1000
inhabitants. Being located about
Is miles from Newport on the east
and the same distance from Bates
vile, which is the seat of our coun-
ty government, on the west, gives
it an aspicious position from a bus
mess or commercial standpoint,
which many other towns do not
possess.
1t is 100 miles northwest of the
city of Memphis, Tennessee, and
is far enough removed from the
low and marshy lands of the Mis-
sissippi to render it healthy, and
being located in latitude SO degrees
north and longitude 81 west, rend-
ers its climate both mild and
salubrious.
1t is most favorably located with
respect to its commercial facilities,
being a pivotal center between the
four large cities of St. Louis, Lit
tie Rock, Kansas City and Mem
phis. This position gives us i'm
mediate access and communication
with these four very important
commercial centers, as we are now
connected with all of these by di-
rect railway.
SURFACE.

1876 square miles of territory, the

most part, level. This Eastern
half contains much the greater por-

more than one half of the region
to which we are directing our at
tention in this article is rich, bot
tom land.
There are no high hills or rug
ged, precipitous heights in the
Eastern half of the county. The
hill land is gently undulating, with
here and there a small brooklet OF
creek ever flowing with bright,
sparkling water. Some of these
creeks afford sufficient water tc
turn machinery. All of them at
ford at all times sufficient water
for stock.

of the country is south-eastward,

Local railroad men do not believe

The following is a new Loree story told
by the Denver News:
At the time of the Johnstown food To-
rec was a division superintendent on tho
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg and
he came with a rush to the line east of
Pittsburg and took charge OF the recon-
StructiOn of the Pennsylvania east of that
city. On one occasion he plunged into "A
swollen stream with rope in his teeth
and swan over to Esba bridge. This
made him.
In view of the retirement of Mr.. Lorce
and the advancement of Mr.. Winchell to
his place the recent inspection trip taken
over the Rock Island system 10y these two
officials is magnified to greater impOr-
lance than first appeared.
The talk going the rounds is that the
two officials being opposed to one another
regarding policy, the inspection trip WIS
planned by Mr.. Wincbell to show tho
Rock Island president where he was
wrong That Mr.. Loree WIS willing TO Dee
shown" is evidenced by the trip itself.
these same railroad men say. and they
add to this the remark that President
Loree did not consider he had been
shown hence the rupture and subsc-
quent retirement of Mr.. Loree
To boil the matter down, it is said that
Mr.. Loree was inclined to be OVer-eXact-
ing in his management of the entire sys-
tenn and that he paid too much attention
to small things and not enough attention
to big things In other words. it is said
he was not broad enough to conduct tho
affairs of such a large and important sys-
lem of railroads.
Mr.. Winchell. on the other hand is n
nan of broad ideas; man who sees into
he future and who lays his plans accord
ngly.

Details OF Moore III arriman Deal
Recently Made.
Change In Control of Alton Is
Only Part of 1t.
THE NEW AGREEMENTS
Hartman Would Control Pacific
Coast Situation.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
In Railroad Circles.

The recent change in the control of
the Alton is now said to be the result
of far reaching deal between the
Moores and Hartman. The reported
acquisition of controlling interest in
the Atchison by Hartman is claimed
to be one of the results of that deal.
The 100000 shares of Atchison stock
purchased in one block for Hartman
are claimed to have been held by the
Moores. The fact that Hartman al
lowed the Moores to secure nearly all
of the common stock of the Alton
without great opposition is taken as an
indication that Hartman was not
averse to their getting control of the
road.
The report that Hartman agreed to
turn over the Houston & Texas Cen
trail to the Rock Island is officially de-
MED. General Attorney M. A. Low of
the Rock Island stated that his road is
not trying to secure the control of the
Houston & Texas Central. The belief
in railroad circles is that the compro-
mise between the Moore and Hartman
interests means an offensive and de-
fenSlVe alliance between their roads
For the last two years the Moores
have been buying Atchison stock, with
a view of either acquiring control of
that property or to get representation
on the board of the company. Their
aim was to make the Santa Fe the out
let of their system for southern Cali
fornia instead of the Southern Pacific.
The Ell Paso extension of the Rock Is
land has not proved profitable and they
were anxious to terminate the traffic
agreement with the Southern Pacific and
secure a connection with the Santa F'e at
Albuquerque.
With this end in view a line is now
being built from Santa Rosa, n. NJ, a
station on the Rock Islands Ell PasO
line, to Albuquerque.
Naturally Hartman did not like the
