DAVIS AND ROGERS
Come Together on Stump at Fayette
ville But no Political Cas
ualties Occur.
_
Fayetteville, Nov. 18. —Gov.
Davis and Attorney-General Rog
ers spoke to a large audience
here today.
Gen. Rogers briefly reviewed
his political record and declared
equalization of taxes to be the
issue before the people. He
scored Gov. Davis for his part in
the railroad compromise, calling
it a “violation of legal and mor
al law.” |
Gov. Davis spoke for twoi
hours. He discussed the record
of both Rogers and Senator Ber
ry without any leniency. He
said ne was cne oesc governor
the State had .ever had and that
it was due to his efforts that an
appropriation was secured wh ch
kept the recent yellow fever ep
idemic out of the State. The
State’s prosperity was due to
his governorship he said, and he
advised farmers to organize.
He discussed the anti-trust law
and said he had a “pardon on
ice’’ for every union labor man
^ convicted under it.
Dora Thorne.
“Dora Thorne,’’ which will be
seen at the opera house Wednes
day, November 22. is a dramata
zation of Bertha M. Clay’s fa
mous novel. Messrs Rowland
and Clifford have given it a mag
nificent production.
In speaking of it one critic
says: “ ‘Dora Thorne’ is a lit
erary composition so unstudied
and so faultlessly arranged, that;
its success is not dependent upon
melodramatic climaxes and sit
uations. It stands in contrast to
the average melodrama like the
inspiring freshness and coolness
of an Autumn morning compar
ed with the sultry and tempest
uous summer heat.”

facilities of the new route.

the incomparable view of wind

j At first one would suppose that
i the elaborate construction and
! the marvelous engineering dis
played in the establishment of
this new highway of traffic were
designed solely for the benefit of
the tourist, in view of the mani
fold scenic attractions. For
those, however, who have a mind
to strict values as measured in
commodities, the White river
country offers, in addition to
agricultural resources, fabulous
possibilities in the way of min
eral resources of various kinds,
with forests of oak, pine, walnut,
cypress and cedar on her thous
and hills.
There are some thriving towns
along its borders, but almost its
entire length flows through a
forest primeval. The vege tation
is luxuriant, the soil in some
places being incomparable for

fine fish floating in its waters.
Batesville, Clarendon, Cotter,
Branson and Newport are some
of the rapidly growing towns
dotting the shores of White
river.
No longer do the great lead
and zinc fields of Southern Mis
souri and Northern Arkansas lie
dormant. F ndreds of men of
small means have gone into this
territory and secured for them
selves financial independence.
Many more are on the move try
ing to secure a "nest egg" which
will provide in the future,
hearthstones that may become
corner stones of the great South
west.
Much has been written in re
gard to fruit raising in the
Ozarks. It is the fruit country
par excellence. Apples, peaches,
pears, grapes and berries of all
kinds are larger, more prolific
and firmer in texture than in any
other section of the country.
Arkansas is a leading state of
the Union in fruit growing, and
the northwestern part of the
state is the premium winner.
The first exhibit of Arkansas
fruits entered for competition
was made before the Mississippi
Valley Horticultural Society at
St. Louis in 1883, receiving for
the best display a gold medal,
the only gold medal awarded for
any exhibit. At the World’s
Exposition. New- Orleans, 1885, j
Arkansas was awarded the gold |
medal for the best display of
fruit and seventeen special |
awards for varieties. At later
expositions Arkansas maintained
her well-earned prestige.
The large area of unsettled I
lands amounting to millions of
acres in the Southwest wrould, to
give the figures, amount to a
volume, but to consult the gov-;
ernment reports from the gen
eral land office of the United
States one will see how much
there “remaineth to be pos
sessed.”
Under the timber culture law
any settler who has cultivated
for tw’O years as much as five
acres in trees of an 80 acre
homestead, or ten acres of a
homestead of 160 acres, is en
titled to a free patent to the land
at the end of eight years. With
all the timber lands lying along
the vicinity of White river, what
numberless homesteads could be
made to blossom as the rose.
The lower James and upper
White rivers are destined from
topographical formation to be a
great resort for hunters and
fishermen. For instance; one
can take a canoe, and entering
the river at Galena. Mo., ride for
125 miles to Branson, floating

BIG REVIVAL CLOSES.
The revival services which have
been in progress at the First
Methodist church closed Thurs
day night, says the Jonesboro
Sun. The meetings have re
sulted in more good than any
ever before held in the city.
The exact number of conversions
is not at hand but it is safe to
say the number will reach over
three hundred. There has been
received into the First Methodist
church one hundred and forty
members and on next Sunday
will receive another class of per
haps twenty-five. The Baptist
church has received a great
many members as well as the
Presbyterians and the churches
of North Jonesboro. At the
service last night Rev. Fred
Little the pastor preached a most
excellent sermon and there were
two conversions.
FIRE BOYS THANK PUBLIC.
Whitney’s Greater Shows Took in
Over $2,000 of Which Fire Lad
dies Got $307.30
Through the columns of the
Independent, as chief of the fire
department on behalf of the
company, I desire to express our
appreciation of and thanks for
the generous patronage of the
public last week in the crowds
that every day attended Whit
ney’s Greater Shows. Over
$2,000 was taken in during the
week by the several attractions,
of which the fire company re
ceived $307.30 as their per cent.
Yours respectfully,
J. R. Mayhan,
Fire Chief.
Minstrel Makes flit.
The fact that Donnelly & Hat
field have the backing of A1 G.
Field, the minstrel king, was a
guarantee to the amusement lov
ing public of something good and
even with a circus in opposition,
a big house was there to greet
them Saturday evening.
From the usual opening min
strel scene, but with unusually
handsome stage settings until
the wind-up of the performance
in the ‘‘darktown Circus,” every
thing was great and made up the
best minstrel seen here for sev
eral years.
Three were many good
jokes and they were nicely
cracked by the talent in the com
pany, who have in ».ast years
been the life and fun of A1 G.
Field's Minstrels.

Until You Have Deposited Fifty-two Dollars,
The Price of the Lot«
\
1
We can build you a home
And allow you to pay for same in weekly payments of ONE DOLLAR
EACH. The lots mentioned here are located in South Newport. The :
population of Newport will double in three years, and must build south;
nature interposes no barriers, and it is the same character of ground
on which Newport is built. We have purchased fifty acres of land in
the southern part of Newport and have surveyed and laid out an ideal
manufacturing village, which will be known as South Newport. The
lots offered here will be in easy walking distance of various manufactur
ing plants. Three manufacturing plants already have been definitely i
decided upon, and ground has been reserved for that purpose. If you
are living out of town and can’t come to see us, : : : : ; i
Mail us your requesttoday ' I
ENCLOSING ONE DOLLAR, the first payment on a lot. Necessary l
papers and receipt, bearing number of lot and location will be mailed '
you immediately in order that we may be able to interest foreign capital
and labor in Newport Real Estate and in order to induce them to seek a
home in Arkansas. We have decided to limit the number of lots sold to
residents of Newport and Jackson county to one hundred, after which
our representative will place the remainder among the people of Tenn- I
essee, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana, our intention being to have resi
dents of neighboring states to own land among us, as it will encourage
investigation and later immigration. No one person will be allowed to j
j purchase more than three lots, as it is more largely to have you inter
ested with us than to have your money. You have undoubtedly noticed
the rapidly enhancing value in Newport Real Estate during the year
1905. There is a reason why the present price of Newport Real Estate
will advance twenty-five per cent during the year 1906. : : : j
We know that reason!
ASK US WHY- WE CAN TELL YOU. Property adjoining that which
we are offering is held for four times the price quoted here. The lot !
you pay us Fifty-two Dollars for and a year to pay it in will be worth
Three Hundred Dollars before the end of eighteen months. You never
heard of such liberal terms being offered before. This opportunity will j
not come to you again ::::::::::
