Magnolia is nice little town OF

$50, 900 Ice and light company; a
$4,000 canning factory; two hotels,
the LaDonnan being worth $4,000;
severa! churches, the leading of
which are the M. K. church, with a
$4,000 building and the Central
Baptist with a building worth 3d.
900. The Columbia county court
house is In the center of the town,
an imposing building easily valued
at $75, 900. The county is almost
out of debt, with paper worth its
face value. There is not single
saloon in the county, and the people
are thrifty, energetic citizens. The
officers have their dealings mostly
with the negroes of whom there is
large number.
Magnolia is an up-to-date school
town. Mr.. j. p. Womaok, the
superintendent of the schools is a
graduate of the University Of Arkan-
sas, and Is recognized as one of the
foremost educators of the state. He

equipped. There are twelve teach
ers in charge of over 400 pupils.
The building is comfortably equip

have a fine high school building
with all the modern equipments.
The school carries a rigid course
of study, and is one of the five fore
most schools of Arkansas.
The new agricultural school, or
ganized by the U. S. government,
is an object of great pride to the
people of Magnolia and of Columbia
eounty. The school is located one
mile north of town on a farm OF

ings, two dormltories, the main
school, and dining hall, worth S75,
