Coming to Arkansas

Scarcely a day passes that the papers do not tell of new people moving to Arkansas.
 J. IN. Anderson, General I'm migration Agent of the Missouri Pacific who has for the past two years been with the Arkansas on Wheels train on it's tour thro' the north, was thro' the state last week and while here said;
 We are having today twice as many inquiries regarding Arkansas lands than ever before. We expect to have double the usual number of people coming to Arkansas in the fall.
 The class the cities supply to the farm are foreigners who have not been here very long. They are not desirable except in colonies. Those who are now asking for Arkansas lands are farmers in the Nothern and East ern states, and when they come, they bring with them the modern and economic methods of con ducting farms, which will be copied by your old time farmers, and thus elevate the whole com munity.
 We are arranging to put 9 large colony of Slavacs in the vicinity of Sheridan. These people are naturally farmers l coming from a country where agricultural pursuits predomi' nate. They will make tht country about Sheridan bloom.

4 GROSS COUNTRY TRIP
h,crJs Man Makes Seventy Mile Trip in Auto Through Monroe County Tuesday Over
 Roads and Near Roads

If Brinkley had the kind ot
 roads as this Holly Grove road,
 she would have to go out of bus. mess this fall.
 But the country-it is pretty
 and it's a shame to think that
 men, who are grinding out their lives tilling the soil should be
 content to stand for such a mis- erable condition which makes
 prisoners of their families, makes lit impossible to enjoy their
 homes, the benefits of churches,
 schools, etc, the privilege of
 getting medical attention in a reasonable time, etc. It's no
 wonder, that farmer boys grow up to detest the farm.
 The ARGUS man had the privi- lege and pleasure of taking Mrs. Sain, beloved mother of Tom and Pst Sain, on in to Holly Grove in his auto-Mrs. Sain is 80 years of age, and with her boys. Tom and Pat, have lived at the homestead for 34 years, hav- ing moved from Marshall county, Miss.,. in 1879. Possibly there is not a more delightful or uni que home in all Arkansas than is that of theeSaines. The brothers own 48O acres of farm, land, many head of horses, mules, hogs, etc, and bank account too.
 They are both married and with their mother and respective families live in the same home having raised their families in this way. They are partners in their business and in everything they own, even partners in their bank account keeping no account against each other. Whatever one does, the other brother agrees to. and l am sure, that there is not a more pleasant fam fly in all the country.
 The ARGUS auto party enjoyed one of the most delightful din- ner's with the Sain family that we have ever eaten in Monroe county, and this together with their kind hospitality more than made up for the bad roads or this seventy mile Cross Country Trip.
