Luxora, Arkansas is a
thriving little city in the center of the east line of
Mississippi County, the finest cotton producing county in the
state.
Its location near the bank of the great Mississippi River (fully
protected by levee and revetment (gives the advantage of the
cooling river river breezes in summer, as well as the cooling
river breezes in summer, as well s the inestimable
transportation advantages, which coupled with the facilities
afforded by the great Frisco R.R. System, supplemented by the
J.L.C. & E.R.R. with its 125 miles of steel through the heart of
the St. Francis Valley, gives us a rate competition and
transportation advantages seldom enjoyed by a city of this size.
The live merchants contributing to this publicity are
represented by J.L. Dean, Mayor, and H.E. Neblett, President of
the Merchants' Association; the agricultural interests by J.C.
Spann, banker and farmer, and S.E. Simonson, farmer and director
of drainage. The agricultural activity in the Luxora trade
territory is very great and rapidly increasing, the soil being
of the most fertile alluvial and vegetable formation, growing
crops of cotton, corn, alfalfa, and wheat and many other
products to a greater success than found anywhere outside of our
peerless Mississippi County, and to a total value of $15,000,000
in 1918, and which last year led all the counties of Arkansas in
value of three principal crops, cotton, corn, and alfalfa, and
this with only about one-half of our land in cultivation. Our
share croppers make more money than many people owning their own
farms in many less productive parts of the United States.
If you wish to buy, rent, lease, or work land on the shares you
will find it most profitable and satisfactory to locate near and
trade at Luxora, which market has long enjoyed the well earned
reputation of giving the best of values and satisfaction to its
patrons. |
