committee Of practically the entire
city, headed by the band, and homes
were assigned. Autom jbiles were
in waiting to convey us to our
several homes, and soon we
were all comfortably domiciled for
the three days at this place.
We were delighted with Harrison.
1t was a revelation to many of us
who had never visited this part Of
the state. We thought as Harrison
was in the Heart of the Ozarks, it
must be mountainous and hilly all
over the section but we noted farms
along the way that were very
inviting. Great fields of wheat,
alfalfa red clover, corn, orchards,
berries and fine herds Of cattle, with
splendid farm houses dotting the
valley and plateau lands. On many
of the farms we noticed silos ready
to be filed with the maturing
grasses. Harrison is the county
seat of Boone County, also the seat
Of one of the Feaderal Courts Of
Arkansas, Wenoticed improvements
Of a substantial nature going on all
about us, Splendid business houses
were in course Of construction; a
masonic temple second to very few
in the state Is being erected, resi-
dcnces are going up, and the con-
tract for the fourth school for the city
has already been let, Practically all
church denominations are represent
ed by good congregations and
splendid buildings, The High
School there is second to none in the
state, having the standard twelve
grade course, We had the pleasure
Of meeting the Superintendent Of the
schools and found him to be alive TO
his work. -
