Young Folk Made Happy
My girl was getting busy, busier than
ever had seen her before. There. was q
new spirit In her. She planned and fused,
and the first thing knew she had ar
ranged a big picnic. There was nothing
remarkable in that, but she later confided
to me that she was going to take the
photograph to the picnic grounds and sur
prise her guests. And she did. They had
the merriest time picnic party ever had,
for the photograph amused them and sang
for them, and played so they could dance
to their hearts content.
Picnics became very popular after that,
and Photographs began to bob up every
where. Indoors and out you could hear
their sweet voices. Our friends came so
often and we were so taken up with the
concerts we had to give them that we
began to think we had no other tasks to
do.

LETTER FROM W. II. WARE
A Former Citizen of Sharp County, Now
Living In Lafayette County.

EDITOR RECORD Through the
kindness of some friend or rela-
tive, | am receiving the Record
and am we'll pleased with it.
will give a brief description
of Lafayette county, which is
situated in the southwestern part
of the great state of Arkansas.
This country is comparatively
level, with different grades of
soil, the great Red river bottoms
being just as rich as the valley
of the Nile. Then we have the
light sandy and the dark sandy
loan of the uplands, with some
mixture of gravel. This land is
very productive, oftimes making
from three fourth of a bale to a
bale of cotton per acre, and other
crops in proportion. Vegetables
of all kinds grow to perfection
here, and this section cannot be
excelled anywhere for the grow
ing of cucumbers. The climate
is the most pleasant one could
wish for, being almost perpetual
spring, with vegetables in the
garden and flowers in the yard.
We have had ice here this winter
only once or twice.
Lewisville is a thriving town of
$500 population, situated on the
Cotton Belt Railroad. We have
a $4,000 court house, an $4,000
school building, and an electric
light plant. We need a canning
factory, a match factory, and a
cigar factory, as tobacco grows
here to perfection.
Country produce finds a good
market at Lewisville. Eggs sell
at % cents per dozen, butter at
% cents a pound, and chickens
at So a dozen.
Land is advancing in price all
the time from $40 to S75 per acre.
Best wishes to the Record and
its many readers.
