and other low-land dra w-baeks. 1 Between the Saline river. on the West. and the Bayou Bar tholoraew on the East. in Drew and Lincoln Counties, k q high. | dry. rolling hill country, the soil of which is sandy and peculiar ly adapted to peaches, berries and vegetables. The peaches from this territory captured the medal at the Worlds Fair. in St. Louis, in 1904. over the com bined peaches of the United States Here not only the larg est peaches grow. but owing to the nature of the soil and the sa- lubritv of the climate, they are the best favored. The same may he. also, equally truthfully said of straw berries. black Der ries and other domestic kinds. 0f these lands adapted to fruit growing there are thousands up- on thousands of acres, now gro wing nothing but the native forest trees. for lack of workmen and facilities for transportation to market. This belt of fruit land IS from three to seven miles wide and about thirty-hve miles long. Much of these lands can now be bought at from $2 50 to S5 % per acre, and when the new north and south railroad is completed, which will run through and accessible to all of them. if put out in Elberta and other peaches and berries and planted in vegetables and mel ons for the markets. would easi- lv be worth from $l00 to S200 per acre. The fruits are superior to California fruits and the land is more valuable for fruit grow ing, since the expense of irriga- ton would not be necessary here. as the rainf fall is amply sufficient to insure good crops
 When the new road is complet- ed there is no reason why thous. ands of carloads of these fruits should not be shipped, every year, to the great Eastern Mar kets. and that they will be IS not room for doubt. A few .en- terprising fruit growers around | Monticello have planted few hundred acres in fruit trees, and even with the poor facilities we now have for shipping, are de irving a princely income from their investment. They have demonstrated the efficacy of the soil tor fruit growing. It is no bnger an experiment. What one, two or a half-dozen men have done and are doing, hun dreds more can do the same thing It IS only a question oi shipping facilities, and this, now. IS only q question of a short .time. when this whole fruit belt will be growing fine orchards, and then this countr, will be the garden-spot of South East tern Arkansas. the superior of Southern California. The eli. matic conditions of this fruit belt are such that ripe peaches can be taken from the trees from the first of May, continually. un til the first of November. nearl, one-half of the entire year.
 And since 1t is a we'll known fact that the soil of few places are we'll adapted to the growth of fruits, these lands will soon command very high price Now is the time for the enter. prising fruit grower to investi. gate.

RAILROAD PROS prers ARE GOOD

RAILROAD PROS PEcTS ARE GOOD.
 Me are reliably informed that the suit between some of our cit izens and the new railroad au- tnorities has been amisably ad- justed. and that the railroad IS now to be built through our town. Mir. NJ Parker, the en- terprising promoter of the north and south railroad, is now at work on the road between Mon roe, La. and Hamburg, Ark. and will push the road on to Monticello just as fast as men and teams can build it.,
 The importance of a north and south railroad through the high land country has long been felt by the people along the line.
 Twenty years ago Maj. Foster had a preliminary survey of this route made and was fully deter mined to bnild q road, but the monev.market failed to respond to his appeal, and he was forced to drop the matter, after spend ing several thousand dollars oi his own money. This route was his pet scheme. and the failure 10 secure means to construct It was a severe blow to his ambi ton and blighted his fondest hopes. Mir Foster was a prac tical railroad man, and saw q most alluring future for this road. Failing to get capital to build his road, Maj. Foster, af ter spending most of his private fortune. dropped his scheme anc went into other business, an6 for a number of years the nortl and south railroad project lay dormant.
 But, two or three years ago Mir. J. M. Parker. a Colorado Capitalist and a railroad build CT. had his attention directed to this route, and partial surve, convinced him that this was hi, golden opportunity for the besi railroad property in the south He went to work with a vim had a preliminary survey made secured a charter, and has now commenced the work of con struction. That the entire lin. between Monroe and a point or the Rock Island, north of Pine Bluff, is now a fixed fact. It is generally understood here that Pine Blutt people are somewha indifferent as to the building O this road, and while the contract with our people and Mir. Parker was to pay the bonus when the road was completed between here and Pine Bluff, there will bt not the least difficulty in having this agreement changed, so as to make it payable upon the completion between here and some other equally available point. It is north and south connection that we want, and a connection with Little Rock Lonoke. DeVall's Bluff or other point on the Rock Island would be entirely satisfactory to our people.
 Now, since our folks and Mir. Parker have gotten together let us do all that is in our power to aid him Tn building this road, aud thus succeed in developing a very fine country.

RAILWAY EXTENSION
 IN MEXICO.

Mexico City, Feb. 23.-One mile a day is the rate at which the Cana nea and Pacific railway is being constructed. It is occupying the at tention of 1000 men and 5000 horses. Railroad construction has got great flip during the past twelve months and lines are being laid all over the country. Several years will be required to complete the line the Southern Pacific is building to Gaudalajara as num- Der of tunnels will have to be driv- en through the Sierra Madre moun- tains. At Guadalajara the road will connect with the Mexican Central and there give a direct route from Tucson and all coast points to this city. There is a great scarcity of horses required for the construction work and all efforts to secure them in this country have been without success.

Cantata to Be Repeated.

At the services upon last Sunday in
st. Anne's Church the Rector an
nounced thai upon next Sunday after
noon, in connection with the 4.30 p.
m. service, one of the sacred cantatas
sung by the choir during the past Win
ter would be repeated. Theone chosen
is by Maunder, "Penitence, Pardon
and Peace This cantata was given
upon the afternoon of the Second Sun
day in Lent, last past, when the Sc
verest snow storm Of the season was
raging and only few persons were
able to be present. Many, interested,
have urged its repetition, and next
Sunday has been chosen. This will
be the last of the special musical pro-
grammes to be rendered in connection
with this service of Evening Prayer
until next Autumn. The offering Will
be for the choir fund. Although this
cantata is peculiarly appropriate to
the early part of the Lenten season,
for which it was written, and when
it is usually sung, it will not be un-
suitable for next Sunday (the Fifth
after Easter) which is Rogation sun
day; when, along with the three days
following, there is short penitential
season (the Rogation Days) preceding
A scension Day.

CIRCUIT COURT.
Important Ruling in sunderland Case.

An important ruling was made by
the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel
county today in the case Of q. Q.
Sunderland. Of this city, charged with
selling liquor to minors. The prose-
cutting witness was a candidate for
the Naval Academy and objection was
made to his testimony as to his age
ON the ground that.it was hearsay and
that better evidence could be pro-
cured, upon the point. This tho Court
sustained, though il was understood
that the Court was divided. The case
resulted in an aequittal.
The question is a very important
one as number of charges of selling
LIQUORS to minors are based upon
sales alleged TO have been made to
candidates and others whose parents
are not in this vicinity and the only
procurable evidence on the point is
that of the party himself. States At
torney Green will carry the question
the Court Of Appeals.
