FARMERS RAISING RICE
* L ttle Rock, Nov. 19.—W. H.
| Hicks, of Long Prairie, Lonoke
county, was in the city yesterday
and visited his friend J. E. .Eng
land of the England National
Bank. This year he raised 4,(K C
bushels of rice and sold it to a
splendid advantage. He has
owned a farm on the prairie
down there for years. This year
he has made more than he has
ever made before in his life,and
as a result, is on easy street. He
spoke of a neighbor named
Heron, who also owns a farm in
that locality, which has never
produced much heretofore, on
which he raised this year 9,000
bushels of rice, the sale of which
netted him over $8,000 in cash.
This neighbor has had a hard
row to weed in the past, but this
year he finds himself with ample
means for all uses and plenty to
spare.

PRESCOTT,
THE METROPOLIS
Prescott, the metropolis of Ne
vada is one of the prettiest and
most substantia] cities in the
State of Arkansas. Her citizen
ship is composed of up-right,
liberal, bread minded, Christian
people, whose greatest ambition
are to help their fellow man in
every honorable way and to
continue its present and past
growth as the leading trading
point of this county.
Its Commercial Club, composed
of over fifty members, are plan
ning and are leaving no stone
unturned to help promote its
best interests, and advertise the
city and county's great re
sources and possibilities to the
country at large. All its mem
bers are working as a unit for
its advancement and a greater
Prescott. Its officers are:
P. F. Chappell, Pres.; Dan
Pittman, V.-Pres.; Wren Scott,
Sec. and Treas.
as a jnaritei mis cny neaas
the list for its size in the state.
The cause is that when the farm
er brings his cotton, hogs, corn,
lumber and other products to
this city for market he receives
the top price, and is treated as
a friend, and shown every cour
tesy and favor possible.
The merchants carry the best,
choicest, freshest, substantial
lines of merchandise, and at the
least possible profit that is possi
ble, and are always considering
the farmers welfare, for they
recognize the fact that the farm
er is the very senire of commer
cial activity, and without them
this country could not survive.
But, the farmer recognizes the
fact also, the Prescott merchants
are paying them the highest
prices, helping them improve
their roads and bridges, erecting
schools for the education of their
children, churches for them to
worship in, advertising and pro
moting industries that enhances
the value of their land, and last
but not least, financing these in
dustries and on and under all cir
cumstances are always at your
services.
