EARLY HISTORY, DEyEL LOPMENT AND GROWTH OF NEVADA COUNTY AND PRESCOTT

J. s. Qandegriff. The first coun- ty court was held May the 8th, 1871, at Mt. Moriah as tempo rary countryside.
 The countryside was then loca. ted at Rosston, which was one of the oldest settlements. It re- mained there until 1877, when it removed to Prescott because of it's more central position and it's location on the road, which had been completed in 1873.
 In the beginning there were in Neveda County only 1,116 poll tax payers, and the taxes assess ed amounted to only $1, 140,313. In the forty years which have since elapsed these figures have more than trebled, the number of poil-tax payers now being 3,846. the taxes assessed, $3, ,142.- 146, and the present population of the county 19,344.
 Of the public schools of the county during the reconstruct ion period, perhaps the least said, the better. But the first one was established in 1871, at Falcon, with a teacher who re- ceived $100 a month to remain at his post for few hours each day though he had not a single pu- pil. There were. however, some good private schools, notably, those at Rosston, Falcon and Prescott, and many of the men, now prominent in county affairs. and some whose infunce extends even further, found the begin ming of their education in these.
 Since that time the county has been divided into seventy three districts, cash having we'll sup ported schools. Prescott has graded schools for white and

by said act contains about six hundred and twenty square miles and is bounded as foll ows:-
 On the north by the Little Missouri River, on the west by Hampstead County, on the South by Columbia County and small portion of Lafayette County, and on the east by Ouachita County.
 Nevada County is divided into thirteen political towhships, namely:-Alabama, Albany, Boughton, Caney, Emmet, Geor- gia, Jackson, Leak,e Missouri. Parker, Red Land, Taylor and Union.
 The first officers of the county were the following:-D. c, Tut tie, Judge; A. B. Parson, Clerk; J. 5. Vandergriff, Sheriff; T. w. Harmon, Treasurer; Samuel Weaver, Coroner; w. H. Prescott Surveyor; and John Meeks, Ass essor, all of whom were appoint. ed.
 The first court held in the county was at Mt. Moriah; here it remained but short time. then the com missioners located the county seat at Rosston,

 In 1872 the value of personal
 property was $493, POI .OO; now it
 is valued at $1167, ,O38.OO. This shows the wealth, of the county
 and the value of the land. The population of Nevada in
 1872 was less than 10000 out of
 which 1,115 paid poll tax. Now according to the census, there
 are l9,344 inhabitants, out of
 which 3,642 pay poll tax.
 In 1872 there were 1, ,472 horses
 and 901 mules in the county;
 now there are 2,762 horses and ,, ,769 mules. By this great in-
 crease of horses and @mules we
 know that we have a county noted for agricultural produc- tion. Besides horses and mules we h ave steam implements
 which aid us in our farming The principal products of the county
 consisted then, as now, in corn,
 cotton, oats. and potatoes. There were no public schools

 THIRD PRIZE -$7.50 JOHN HATLEY
 In the years Immediately fol- |,owing the civil war, the recon |struction government did it's hest to give every applying car net bagger an office. When the supply of state and county off .ces ran short, there was nothing |to be done but to split the larger counties into smaller ones, to create more counties, and so more offices. To this Nevada county owes her origin, having been formed in 1871, from parts of Ouachita, Hampstead and Co lumbia, with an area of 627 square miles.
 The first county officers were D. c. Futile. A. D. Parsons and

FOURTH PRIZE-$5 HAROLD WHITE

The County Of Nevada was created by an act of the legisla. ture passed March 2cth, 1871.
 The territory composing Ne vada County was taken from Hampstead, Ouachita and Colum- bia Counties. The constitution of the State of Arkansas Article 13, 3,Section D says:-"No county now established shall be reduced to an area of less than six hund dred square miles, no to less than five thousand inhabitants; nor shall any new county be est ablished with less than six hund- red square miles and five thou sand inhabitants, provided. that this section shall not apply to the counties of Lafayette, Pope and Johnson, nor be so construed, as to prevent the general assembly from changing the line between the counties of Pope and John son..

cOlOred children, besides the re- gently erected High School, which would be a credit to a much larger place.
 Recent years have seen many changes in other ways-for in stance, the methods of farming. Instead of the mule, the Georgia stock, and the bull-tongue blow. which were once considered as all-sufficient, tn progressive progressive farmers now use modern implements, such as one and two horse cultivators. This makes it possible for the farmer who formerly found fifteen or twenty acres as much as he could manage. to cultivate thirty or forty. They have introduced also improved breeds of stock and poultry and are paying more attention to the planting of or chards.
 Whatever mineral wealth Ne vada may possess remains as yet undeveloped. There are said to be deposits of goal in the lower part of the county and gold has been found near Bodcaw, but not in paying quantities.
 The commerce of the county has been greated facilitated by the building of the Prescott & Northwestern Railroad. There. are now annually shipped about 2,600 cars of lumber, $500 bales of cotton, and 160 cars of peach es, and seventy five of cattle
 Industr ially she ranks well. Her banks do an annual business of $427 ,00O. She has one of the largest and best equipped lumber plants in the state, with an an uual capacity of 19 million feet, a number of others of less capaci- ty cutting both pine and hard wood, and several blaming mills. Much money is being spent to in- vestigate the probability of oil in paying quantities and quality, number of wells are being sunk and the near future may see the Nevada County oil fields rival those of Beaumont.
 As to the needs of the future for the county and for Prescott their needs are the same. What helps one also help the other. We need better roads, of course. and one of the most crying needs is the kind of public spirit that will invite more cordially and well come more substantially the in- vestment of foreign capital, whether for new railroads, man. ufacturing enterprises or develop ment of natural resources.
 So shall Nevada County take hold and rank with the best in the state, which is to say the best in the world.

ny Mr. Pierce was that more state aid
be given to farmers institutes, il the
resources OF North Dakota were to be
conserved He also stated that the
A. c. and other state institutions need
ed more money from the state IL the
resources were to be conserved to their
best degree.
Keep People in State.
I'VE must divert the stream OF peo-
pie into North Dakota instead of let
ting them pass on through to other
territory not as good as ours" was the
spirit of the argument placed by Mr..
Halstead Of Devils Lake.
He continued, Il do not believe that
the cities Of North Dakota realize the
opportunities that are in front of them
or they would not allow this great
flood Of people to go passing through
our state without not so much as look
ing at out land, except through the car
window. think that there should be

sition is most successful one from
every standpoint, provided 1t is not
overworked. Mr. Sangstad suggested
that they be held not more than six
times year for the best results. Cele-
bration days are mixed in with the
market days to produce some attrac-
tive bits to bring customers into the
smaller towns on special days.
Wanted State Aid.
North Dakota owes Fargo a debt Of
gratitude for the support given the
Tri-State Grain Growers convention"
said j. Dexter Pierce OF Larimore.
THE business men Of Grand Forks
and Fargo should take on broad view
of the advancement of the whole
northwest" he continued 81 believe
that the most effective work could be
done by a state organization and that
a state federation of the commercial
clubs could do much towards caring
for these questions that are demand
ing our attention"
Mr.. Pierce advocated state aid for
the maintenance and Improvement OF
our roads and highways. He is a
pioneer in this line and believes that
the conservation of energy lies in the
of the roads.
Among the other things advocated
