They travelled on and on, enduring hardships, encoun- tering perils, establishing homes, and sent back words of promise and of hope that encouraged others to follow
 THE GREAT RAILROAD ERA
 Later, other inducements offered the people better opportunities as the transcontinental railroad lines came into existence, being aided largely in their efforts by appropria- tions of millions of acres of govern ment lands. They built great roads and offered low rates of transporta- tion to tourists in order to tempt the eastern farmer to look over their lands. The result was that the prairies have been converted into wheat and corn and rice fields; the valleys into orchards and the western states have grown and prospered.
 This same spirit of migration caused many of those people rushing from the Atlantic towards the Pacific coast to pass over country that was richer in soil and better in climate conditions than that which they eventually selected, for the Grand Prairie fertile district was left by many untouched midway their jour-

white men ready today like a myth of the medieval ages. In 1882, Marquette, Joliet, Hennipin and La Salle made expeditions down the Mississippi river and took possession of the country lying from the Gulf of Mexico to Missouri in the name of France, calling it Louisiana in honor of the grand monarch. In 1763, it was ceded to Spain by Louis XIV. in the treaty of Paris and re- turned to the French government in 1900, by the treaty of St. Ildefouse and purchased from that country two years later by President Jefferson at cost aggregating $22,320, 100000. The territory then consisted of near ly 800 million acres of land, rich in natures gifts, with vast amount of lumber and fertile prairies. From the Louisiana purchase fifteen states have been admitted to the Union and the central portion of this great body of land embraces the present site of Arkansas. covering 52,19S square miles

state Is composed of a law-abiding and moral class of people, thrifty and economical to the letter, yet charitable and ever ready to assist the worthy. The stalwart and peace ful nature of our pioneer settlers is brought to the surface in the char acter of our young men and women.
 Prosperous is hardly the right term for the condition throughout the state. Every farmer is making money and some of them have paid for their farms from the proceeds of one crop. The old style struggling from year to year to keep up the taxes and interest on the farm and wait for bumper crop to pay off a part of the mortgage has never been known in this state. A few years among the least successful is all that is required here to own a farm with good improvements, and in most cases from one to three years finds the farm clear and the owner en- deavoring to increase his acreaga and install modern improvements.
 An excellent financial condition is reported by the state with a large surplus credited to the various funds, while continuous improvements in every department of the state are be- ino Rarried into affaot

Queen of Grand
 Prairie.

Of the several prosperous towns and organized communities in the fertile Grand Prairie country com prising body of land extending through Arkansas, and adjoining counties and lying between the Arkansas and White rivers, there is none that Is more advantageously located, or which Is today attracting more favorable atte tion than Carlisle. This is a beautiful little city of some 1,500 inhabitants, where owing to the cosmopolitan makeup of the population, people here hailing from all parts of the United States, everyone may be pleased.
 The land about Carlisle is gently rolling and slopes to the southeast. It Is not as many have supposed a low marsh or swamp, but medium rolling prairie about 250 feet above the sea level, drained by numerous streams tributary to the Arkansas and White rivers on it's eastern and western boundaries, in addition to drainage afforded by the rounding up of the public highways. making roads equal to the best of race tracks.
 Carlisle, the Queen City" of the Grand Prairie section, is geographic ally in the eastern part of Lonoke County. and the northern part of

other resources. EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES
 PERMANENT

Educational advantages are con- sidered of the utmost importance in every section of Arkansas and they are up to the standard in the cities and principal towns, while rapid progress has been made in the last few years in building and organizing schools in the rural districts. The University of Arkansas is located at Fayetteville, in the northwestern part of the state, with a medical de- partment located at Little Rock. This institution ranks among the best in the United States in appoint ments, equipment and system of teaching and it's corps of professors are composed of we'll known educa- tors, prominent in their various de- partments of work.
 POPULATION IS INCREASING
 The population of the state in 1910 was ,574 ,449, gain of 273,- 900 in the previous ten years, or fully 20 per cent. At the present time the population is fully 2,OO0,- 900 people. The present governor of the state is Charles H. Brough of Washington County, who was elected by the Democratic party in November 1916 and took the chair January 1. 1917. His election this year was assured by his nomination at the democratic primaries in May.
 There is no state in the Union that is better governed than is Arkansas and every community is we'll pro tected by competent officials anxious to do their duty As whole the

People living in she great state oi Arkansas are justly proud of thei, home state, for out of vast wilder. ness the sturdy pioneers of fifty tc one hundred years ago laid the foundation upon which the younge. generations have builded so we'll tha, the fame of this progressive common. wealth has spread over the world and the eyes of all people are turning this way.
 As one sits and contemplates the good things that may be enjoyed in this section of the country and at times hears the stories of hardships, of Indians, long horned cattle and razor back hogs told by the early settlers, or reads some pungent vim dictive story told by an agile spiller of ink in order to make the world laugh at the expense of Arkansas, it is easy to long for history of the facts connected with the infancy of the state, as we'll as stories of the great creative work of our fathers who pushed their Yiy into the wilderness and opene1 D this great country to the world.
 Realizing that there are thousands of people in Lonoke county who would appreciate a historical review of the organization of the county, the early life of the settlers, and the growth of the Grand Prairie section, the CARLISLE INDEPENDENT, the largest and only all home print newspaper in this county, is publish ing this work with the hope of giving it's readers and all those in this sec tion condensed history of Lonoke County and it's surrounding towns.
 With limited space at it's com mand, the accounts must necessarily be short, and because of the limited and fragmentary sources of informa- tion, inaccuracies must be expected. All of these disadvantages, we trust, will be considered by those who scan the work with a critical eye In this issue we will devote some space to the progressive people of the county, some of whom have spent a great portion of their lives in building up Carlisle and Lonoke County, but the major portion of our space will be devoted to description of the vast natural resources that make this community so valuable to the energetic farmer, as we'll as to the progressive business man.
 All who have studied the story of the discovery of the new world are more or. less familiar with the man. ner in which not only Arkansas, but all the western and southwestern states have been gradually pop ulated. From the time our Arian forefathers left the highlands of Eastern Asia and emerged from the passes in the migration westward, the trend of migration, so far as it applies to the white race, has been

 From Crowley Fidge to the west and northwest, the wooded hills and prairies lead to the mountains at the far end of the state and these hills and mountains abound in valuable minerals, comprising silver, anti mony, bauxite, zinc, iron, lead, cop per, manganese, paints, nitre earth, ochras, rock crystal, marble, granite, honestone, limestone, slate, salt, gyp- sum, mari, kaolin, bituminous, semi anthracite and Ignite coal, etc. Enormous quantities of lumber have been taken from the lands and from the mountains and still there is a vast quantity of lumber in the state. GREAT AGRICULTURAL STATE
 There is no state in the Union that has Arkansas bested as an agricultural state. The finest fruits are grown here, embracing premium apples, peaches, the finest plums, pears, grapes, quinces, strawberries, cherries, and others. For cotton growing the state ranks second in the Union and her crops of veg etables are grown with the greatest of success. In the raising of wheat, corn, oats, hay and potatoes, Arkansas is far above the average and the farmers of this state are huge profits annually on the

How the Body Is Nourished

The bodily process known as as
sanitation is we'll explained in these
words: GAS the blood, in its clrcula
ton, approaches any organ, the por
tons that are appropriate for this
organ feel it's attractive force, obey
it, and leaving the others, mingle with
the substance of it's tissue, and are
changed into its own true and proper
nature"
How important it is that the blood
should be pure and rich, not loaded
with WORKOUT and useless materials!
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies and en-
riches the blood, and does all it is
possible for medicine to do in the way
of perfecting assimilation and build
ing up the whole system. When you
have made up your mind to take
Hoods Sarsaparilla, insist on having
it--don't accept a substitute, for no
substitute acts like it.
