Cove and made some good money on stra wberries this last spring
 The Cove Lumber company moved one of their saw mills to Womble last week, and this move was the beginning of the end ot the lumber business at Cove' There are some people here who honestly believe that the town will DO to the demnition bow VOWS when the blaming mill moves away and then there are some optlmlsts who honestly think it will be the best thing TOT the town that ever happened' The latter class agree that when we get to shipping apples, peach es and strawberries in carload lots the town and community will be- gin to prosper and that so long as the town depends upon people who keep a plsning mill going and live out of paper sacks there will be nothing to it. So there you are. It is safe to say, how ever, that the town will have grown into a prosperous little city soon after the blaming mill proposition has been forgotten.

PROGRESSANDPROSPERITY
Cherry Hill District of Polk County Max ing Long Strides s-New and Old Set
 tiers in Friendly Rivalry.

The Cherry Hill district of Polk County, Egger postoffice, l16 miles east of Mena, for long years has been recognized as one of the most prosperous and pro gressive settlements in Western Arkansas, and now, in this time of increased activity, caused by a wider knowledge of the advan- tages of Arkansas, it is keeping up It's reputation.
 At present there are three stores there handling general merchandise, all doing a good business. They are: T. H. and ". w. Philpot, w. T. Suit and C. l.. Lofts.
 There are two drug stores, one owned by Dr. w. W. Philpot, the other by T. H. Hines and Dr. M. A. Bizzell, the last known as the Egger Drug Company.
 G. V. Conn does the black smithing and horseshoeing and has a rushing trade.
 o. K. Quinn has a sporting goods stock and does all sorts of light repairing, such as guns, sewing machines, musical instru- ments, etc. He plans to build new store soon.
 J. w. Ryals is postmaster and looks after Dr. Philpot's drug store in the same building. Que of the most substantial en- terpries of Egger IS the big cot ton gin and grist mill owned and operated by Willis NJ. Wimber- ly. The old plant was brrned out some months ago, and now has been replaced by larger one with the latest improved machin- cry. MT. Wimberly is thinking of putting in a flour mill, as much wheat is being grown in the eastern end of the county. A new venture has just been undertaken by citizens of Egger and Oden, town some miles east in Montgomery county in the purchase of handsome German Coach horse, the price being S2, 800. The animal is a blood bay and beauty. The company making the purchase is composed of w. w. Philpot, F. w. Lofts, Willis Lofts, w. F. Jackson, Hamp Loftis and Jack Lofts of Egger and A. J. Plemmons, Will liam Rogers, D. w. Ballentiue, Marion Francis, w. A. Garner, John Seagraves, Thomas Taylor, Wash Maddox and M. Barnard Of Oden, and George Wimberly, who is manager.
 But after all is sad, the great est and best progress is in agri- cultural lines. The older settlers always ranked as good farmers, are studying and adopting the ideas that are spreading every. where for the diversiicatiou of crops, the building up and preser- vation of lands. On the other hand many new and energetic farmers are coming iu and buy ing lands, and these and the old settlers vie each with the other in their efforts to get the best re- suits from their acres. All are becoming more interested m stock raising, and this means the pro. ductlon of forage crops, such as tame grasses, clovers, alfalfa, etc. And all these, 1t is being demon strated, grow here as well as iu any country.
 All in all, the Cherry Hill dis trict of Polk county is one of the best to be found In any state. both as to the class of its people and the advantages in soil and climate. It's population numbers about LOGO.

was here Friday and Saturday mak- ing assessment of personal property. Two hundred and one persons re- ported for assessment in Egger and Fl at Norris mill, making a total of 272 for Mountain township. There are a few more who will be reported by the justices.
 The farmers of this community are making progress. By experi- ments they have found that red clover and alfalfa can be successfully grown, and these crops not only fur nish valuable feed but improve the land. The thoughtful farmer will no longer depend upon cotton for everything, but grow wheat and other products which too many have been buying from other states. The best prosperity can be brought about by producing what is needed at home and something extra for the non-farming people. With in telligent handling, especially through cooperation, a good market can always be had for all the food prod ucts we have to sell.
