that an education is the best legacy

One Of the Finest Farming and
Stock Raising Counties in
the State.
sheridan's improvements Unprecedented IA New Era
of Prosperit Dawning

Grant Count was formed February
4, 1896, by cutting off portions of Sa-
line. jefferson and Dallas counties,
and in the formation of this county
the above named counties were de-
prived of much of their best and rich
est farming and stock growing terri
tory as the new county embraced much
of the fine bottom lands of Saline
River, Hurricane, Darysaw, Simpson,
Big Creek an da number of other
bottoms that were equal to the bot
tom lands Of the Arkansas river for
farming purposes, while the numerous
brakes, Holly and Bay Trees fur
nished excellent food for stock
throughout the entire winter months.
But in doing this one OF the finest
counties in the state was formed, and
the people of Grant county have often
said that if Grant county was isolated
from the rest of the world her people
could still live in comfort, for it Is
possible to raise everything at home
that is needed, even their clothing,
for it is one of the best cotton
growing counties in the state and
thousands of head of sheep are raised
here principally for the wool, while
corn, peas, potatoes, melons, every
thing that can be raised in semi
tropical region, do we'll here. Hence
this claim.
A quarter of a century ago Grant
county fell into the hands of the tim
Der men of the North who bought up
thousands upon thousands of acres OF
its best lands for the fine timber
then growing thereon, and for twenty
years the farming, fruit growing and
stock raising interests of this county
were held in obeyance by the lumber
manufacturers who established large
logging camps in almost every Sec
ton Of the county, built and operated
railroads and tramways all over the
county, with sawmills here and there
cutting from ten to one hundred thou
sand feet of lumber each per day,
employing thousands of men and con-
sverting the larger portions OF the
county into a veritable lumber manu-
featuring camp.
During all these years hardly
tract of land could be bought at any
price in Grant county. for the moment
land owner decided to sell these
timber land capitalists were ready to
write check and add every avail
able acre to their holdings.
During all these years the tide OF
immigration blowing into Arkansas
was kept out of Grant County and
was forced to find locations in other
and often, less favored counties than
Grant, for the lumber companies were
stripping the lands of this county OF
Its fine timbers which would have
Deen barrier to the new farmer or
orchidist, and it is this alone that has
Kept Grant County in the background
lor the last quarter century.
But Grant County's era of prosper
ity is dawning The heavy and dense
tlmbers have been removed from these
lands and they have at last been
tnroWn upon the market in much bet
'er condition than they were when
'ne lumber companies came into pos
session of them. The farmers of
urant county have also returned to
'ueir farm work with renewed energy,

POULTRY lNHVSYRY

The location is ideal for poultry
raising in and around Sheridan and
while almost every family keeps a few

opening here for large poultry plants
to supply the nearby towns and cities
which are constantly drawing upon
Sheridan for their supply of poultry
and eggs.

"ReStraining order set aside and the
Justice w. S. Fly of the court of civil
appeals, fourth supreme judicial district
at San Antonio, in the case wherein a
humber of property owners in the paw
ing districts of Brownsville sought to
enjOin the city council from collecting
that portion of the street paving cost
which was assessed against them, takes
the case back TO the petitioning property
owners. AS the decision stands, no in
junction exists, and unless some further
action be taken by the property owners,
the matter will remain in status quo.
The decision recites that at the hear
ing set down by the district court to be
held at Alice Oh February 5, at 9:3O a.
fn was not held, it follows that the tenn
pOrary restraining order previously
granted expired on that date, whether
any action was held by the trial judge
at that time or not.
The decision also states that the pray
er in the petition seeks to restrain the
collection of Taxes and it would come
within the terms of an article which
would require the execution Of a bond
by the city in double the sum sought to
be enjoined; but that the petition fails
to state the sum or sums sought to be
collected, making the petition so indef-
mite that there is no basis for fixing the
bond.
The decision says further that the pc

not an adequate legal remedy and that

HOW ADVERTISING
REDUCES YOUR
COST OF LIVING
BIZ John Il. FdllOn.

Advertising is the means by which
merchants or manufacturers may tell
a great number of people about the
superior quality of their goods, the
desirability of their merchandise
and the reason it will be to your ad-
vantage to patrOnize them.
Advertising enables merchants to
bring hundreds and thousands of
customers to their stores. 1t enables
them to do a large volume of bust
ness at minimum expense.
Advertising establishes the conf
dence of the community, makes new
friends. keeps old customers inter
ested and brings the news of the
store right into the customers
home
The merchant who advertises con-
tinuously appeals to all the people
in town, while the merchant who does
not advertise sits within his door
and waits for the people to find him
out or accidentally drop in as they
are passing by.
Advertising is such powerful
selling force and business builder
that merchants who use it are en-
abled to sell better goods at the low
est prices. Read the advertisements
in The Herald closely and constantly
every day for proof.
