SOME ARKANSAS HISTORY
State Historical Association Will
Soon Have First Volume Heady
Volume one of the publications
of the Arkansas Historical Asso
ciation will soon be ready for de^
livery. The manuscript is now in
the hands of the printer. It will
be a larger and more abundant
publication than originally adver
tised. It will have about 500 pages
and will contain in addition to an
inventory of the source material
of Arkansas history (invaluable
reference work) chapters on Rem
iniscences of the Secession Con
vention by surviving members;
Official Correspondence of Gover
nor Izard, 1825-26; Original Ac
counts of DeSoto’s Journey thru
Arkansas; List of Field and Gen
eral Officers in Confederate Army
from Arkansas by Colonel V. Y.
Cook, and Presidential Reconstruc
tion in Arkansas.
This will be an epoch making
volume. It marks a great step
forward. It means much for the
history of Arkansas. This move
ment to rescue our history from
oblivion is patriotic and should
have the support of all puhlie
spirited citizens. Those desiring
a copy should at once address the
secretary, J. H. Reynolds at Fay
etteville, inclosing two dollars.

There are many of
them of various qualities
and descriptions, but you
will not be included in
the class if you read
the excellent new serial
story we will begin running in a short time entitled
FOR LOVE
Mr. Lynde is the author of a number of strong
American novels, among them “The Grafters,” one
of the strongest American stories ever printed. He
is a master of railroad detail, and into “A Fool for
Love” he has worked a strong romance in connection
with a typical western railroad building story.
There is action in every line; the kind of action
that keeps one on the tiptoe of expectancy for the
next chapter.
It is the kind of a story that is satisfying.
Keep an eye out for the first chapter when it appears
in the columns of this paper.

Hope, Ark., Nov. 15.—Owing
to so much in in this .year we did
i<t make an extra large ciop in
this part of the state, but we are
realizing- a good price and that
goes a long ways toward balancing
up. Cotton ditiers here from cot
ton in your county a great deal
more than most people would
imagine. Short cotton is selling for
about ten cents, while the long
staple runs up to seventeen cents,
and the long staple is most looked
after here. 1 find the long staple
j • r »K easy raised as the short and
u* .Is are as large and as easy
to pick as the other varieties. One
Rapid chahges of temperature are hard
on the toughest constitution.
The conductor passing from the heated
inside of a trolley car to the icy temperature
of the platform—the canvasser spending an
hour or so in a heated building and then
walking against a biting wind—know the
difficulty of avoiding cold.

of my neighbors, Thomas Parmer,
formerly of Sulphur Pock, has
three acres of long staple cotton
and he has gathered two 500 pound
bales and sold it for 17 cents. I
do not see why it would not pay
to raise this variety in the north
ern part of the state. This is no
corn count!y but the best farmers
raise enough to do them. But
cotton and all kinds of vegetables
do well here and 1 see no reason
why a farmer can’t make some
money, as health is good and land
is easy to cultivate.
Land rents here for one third of
the corn and one-fourth of the cot
ton, so if one makes a big crop he
pays big rent, and if lie makes a
light crop the burden is borne by
both parties.
The f irm 1 paid two thousand
dollars for when 1 came here
could not he bought today for a
cent less than three thousand dol
lars and other lands have udvanc
ed in proportion. We have a
good market at Hope, only a few
miles away, which is a town of
4,000 population, with many fac
tories and three banks capitalized
at *tOO,000 each. Money is plen
titul here and in reach of the av
erage farmer. From what 1 have
seen 1 think this a pretty good
poor man’s country. Wages are
good and there is a demand for
more help. There is room for j
three or four hundred more famil
ies in this county. There are a
good many negroes here and 1 find
them easy to get along with as
they attend strictly to their own
business
The way cotton is bought and
sold here is new to me. They
have a weigher and a warehouse
