Alma is on the Railroad, fifteen miles from Fort Smith, and is in the

vegetables are shipped annually.
The town has two banks, three hotels, one newspaper, four churches, good
high school, six lodges, electric lights, three cotton gins, paved
sidewalks, and is in the Kibler gas belt - natural gas being used day

general, with one of the finest cotton markets in the State backing the

cotton is always produced on Crawford county soil.
Farm lands have greatly advanced the past year. Alma is also known far
