Situated as ia this state, in the eentral and southern portion of the Mississippi Valley, and from its climate, foil, minerals, timber and water it may be well designated the Garden and Granary of the great Southwe>t. The state has over three million more acres of land than the state of New York. Has 3500 miles of railroad and 2,756 miles of navigable river?. Its geographical position assures the best condition of temperature and of rainfall, this being shown by absence of intense heat, cold, and annual rain fall. Accurat« observation, extending over 20 years, gives an average of 75 days ol rain in a year. The state i« comparatively free from storm? and cylones. Fitty thousmd people go there every year and ar.> cured by her health giving waters ar d the effect of the splendid climate. Still some fear that the country might not be healthy. The statis­ tics of the U. S. Medical Department show the mortality rate at Little Rock, to be less than any other post in the country. .Rheu­ matism, consumption, catarrh, blood poison and all bronchial troubles are always relieved and generally cured. Ten months of summer without one torrid day and invariably cool nights, with cool refresning breezes with only two months wintor, where a man can work every day of the year, with less expense in doctor bills, cloth­ ing, food and housing are some ol the inducements this country otters to those who are not well or in tcarch of ol a good homo.
