EASTERN ARKANSAS, lie Lai not Hal is Gil Hi Sill Fertile. JOHN J . MILLER Our stock of Winter Clothing is still a little large. Those in DRUGS and MEDICINES Situated as is this state, in the eentral and southern portion of the Mississippi Valley, and from its climate, eoil, minerals,' timber and water it may be well designated the Garden and Granary of the great Southwest. 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 riverc. Its geographical position assures the best condition ot temperature and of rainfall, this being shown by absence of intense heat, cold, and annual rain fall. Accurate observation, extending over 20 years, gives an average of 75 days of rain in a year. The state is comparatively free from storms and cylones. Fitty thousand people go there every year and ara cured by her healthi giving waters ard 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 winter, where a man can work every day of the year, with less expense in doctor bills, clt'th­ ing, food and housing are some of the inducements this country offers to those who are not well or in scarch of of a goo3 home. So There by all Means March 15 and Look. Good prairie land at $3 and $10 per acre on long time and near station, Only a little left. Buy while prices are right and you have a ehance. I tell yeu tt is scarce and going like hot cakes. There was gold in Klondike and in California long before it was dis­ covered. So a trip to Arkansas on March 15 may reveal unexpected pleasures and a home in the land of health and plenty. WHY NOT GO NOW? . We Will Be With You.
