sas, Here a royal feast was in awaiting for the editors and the Arkansas real estate dealers, who joined Us for the day at Ash down. The entire second story of the Court House was spread with tables on which was one of the finest dinners l ever sit down to. The splendid system, the ease, grace and cordla1lty of those Murfreesboro women as they served this immense crowd was the wonder of everyone. After the dinner all the visitors were loaded in conveyances and headed for the diamond fields. '" It was the good fortune of the Folsoms to be in the carriage of Jas. A. Logsden, one of the livli- est boosters that ever b0omed Oklahoma. He's through with Oklahoma now tho and Is put ting things over for Arkansas in great shape. After a three mile drive we unToaded at the Kim berly mines and some two hum dred diamond hunters got busy for they had been promised any and all rare stones they might find. 1 didn | stir the earth very much for fear 1 would suddenly come into possession of a valuable sparkler and not know what to do with 1t.
 i The first Arkansas diamonds were found as a result of the determined search of an old man by the name of Mooney, who owned poor little farm in that section. After Branner s report s were published, in which he stated that the geological forma- tion there bore every evidepce of being a diamond bearing region (the only one like it being in the South African diamond fields, the old man Mooney picked up a pretty white spark Ter and carrying t 10 Murfrges- boro had q frieud send 1t away to a eity ,W,lD l. was sent tp Chas S. 3tilft uf Little Rock. ant in a few hours after Il reached the city, Mr. Shlft, who is said to De one of the best dia- mond experts in the south, wired 10 the Murfreesboro man to tie up all the land on and adjacent to ground on which 1t was found. Thus started the diamond fever in Pike county, and si, ce that time some $300,000 of these stones have been found in these mines. was shown several in the rough that had been found and one of them worth moro than 5000.

the worlds greatest peach king, Bert Johnson. Now of all the real surprises of the trip this one capped them all A few years ago while on 9 pleasure trip in Lake Erie aboard a big lake steamer, 1 was struck with the great way those northern people had of raising and shipping peaches. They loaded hundreds upon hundreds of baskets of fine peaches aboard the boat and as l saw the boat being loaded, l said: If it were possible for Arkansas to do this we'd indeed have 6 great state" ?" l never dreamed then of Arkansas ever reaching a time when she would lead all other states and in fact l. ad the world in having the greatest peach orchard in the world. This is exactly what l saw at Highland and i wish that every ARGUS reader could | see 1t for themselves. Think of nearly three thousand. acres in one solid peach orchard with every one of the hundreds of Ithousands of trees planted in a perfect symetical manner. 1t is a sight worth going miles to see, one that beats Ohio, Michigan and any other section of America 10 to 1. This one big orchard employs S00 to 1000 people in handling their crop. About 800 men are actually engaged in the orchard all of the time.
 The day thatI was thro' the orchard, in the sane conveyance with ne was two of the officials of the Amclican Rapid Transit ] Co.,, (the tcofie who handle the crop from ercbard to market in refrigerator cars) aud thc vice 3t@sj tent a1 re erai mans ger  oi lae Rai.roac Goalpaay criginat- ing the business.

Seminole Red Men Have Nation

Tampa, Fla.--Within the boundaries
Of the United States exists an inde-
pendent nation that recognizes no de-
partment OF our government and has
its own rulers, laws, customs and Ian
guage. The United States is as much

about Ave hundred persons, is confined
to the Everglades in the most southern

one of the most powerful tribes. numer-
ically in North America. The nation
as at present organized, is compare

It dates back to the pre-Columbian
period.
Just seventy years ago a peace
agreement was declared which ended
seven years was between the Semi
noles and the United States govern
ment. The Seminole tribe was made
up of two bands of Greeks who with

moved to Florida, where they were
Joined by remnants OF tribes that had
come in contact with the Spaniards.
They were hostile to the white settlers,
and caused the Americans great deal
Of trouble during the Revolutionary
war. They aflliated with the Span
iards in 1898, and again showed their
enmity to the United States in the
War Of 1912. A few years later the
Seminoles, together with large num-
Der Of runaway negroes, began ma
king raids and massacres throughout
the frontier settlements Of Georgia
and Alabama. In little less than a
year they were completely subdued by
Gen. Andrew Jackson.
The Indians signed treaty in 1928
in which they agreed to give up nearly
all Of their Florida land for a certain
consideration. Some, however, object
ed to these conditions and were al
lowed to remain, with the understand
ing that they were to live peaceably
and surrender all fugitive slaves
This was unsatisfactory to the Geor.

Business deals may go wrong and
financial disaster may threaten, but
the man who takes stock in himself

Poverty may be at the door, and
hard luck may bring adversity, but the

So, why worry?

do this in 1885 precipitated the second
Seminole war, which lasted seven
years and which is said to have been
the bIoodiest Indian war in American
history.
Under the leadership Of Osceola,
who combined both cunning and hero
