   EPISODE I - THE EARLY SETTLERS

The early settlers arrive in covered wagons and
with pack horses. Among thm are Mr. and Mrs.William Skelton and family, Mr. and Mrs. Hezekiah Appleby, Major and Mrs. Burnside, Mr. and Mrs. William McGarrah, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Banks, Mr. and Mrs. Aleck Stanfield, and young David Walker. They bring with the a few negro slaves, represented by Siebe and Silvia Tuttle and Lee Harris. They view the hills and having decided to settle, they unloaded their packs and wagons. With steadfast courage they establish homes and firesides.
(The characters are represented for the most
part by descendants of these first families.)

                     EPISODE II
No sooner are the few homes established than
four commissioners appointed by the Arkansas
Territorial Legislature arrive with surveyors who
stake out the county seat and mark off the town
lots. The auctioneer comes on and the famous
auction of lots takes place.

                    EPISODE III
    The Development of Agriculture and Horticulture.

From earliest days Fayetteville has been closely
related to the rural life and products of the sur-
rounding country. Home consumption of her
people and business as well are constantly enriched by the gifts of agriculture and horti- culture.
Through improved roads and transportation and through intelligent application of scientific methods the old fashioned farming and marketing have developed into a well organized system yielding better profits and greater happiness to the rural home. According to statiticians Washington county today produces per year from poultry an income of $2,640,000; from apples, strawberries, and grapes combined $1,263,815; from dairy products and live stock $529,418; from canned goods $800,000. Such a contribution can only
bring prosperity, peace, and contentment to a
people and a community. Such subject is now
the business of our stage.

                    EPISODE IV
            The Development of Business

From the single store doing business on the
Square in 1828, Fayetteville has grown into 481separate and district businesses with total bank deposits today of over five million dollars. Fayetteville has from earliest days been recog- nized for her substantial business houses and business men. Such forces supply not only necessities of life but luxuries as well, both of which bring peace and happiness to more than ten thousand people.
Such steady and prophetic growth we here depict.

        Interlude--Statehood Contribution

Six governors, four congressmen, four supreme
court justices, two secretaries of state, one at-
torney general, two-commissioners of agriculture are Fayetteville's record of men of state and national importance. The governors-Archibald Yell, Isaac Murphy, Charles H. Brough, James E.Throckmorton, governor of Texas, 1866; C. N. Haskell, firist governor of Oklahoma; Julius Gunter, governor of Colorado, The Congressmen

Hill, W. G. Vincenheller.

EPISODE V
The Development of Industries

At many places in sight of Fayetteville, Indians
chipped out their arrow-heads, moulded their
pottery and ground their grain in stone pestles.
Succeeding them our forefathers with hand tools
wrought bench, table, chair and handle. Through
the years power and invention have developed
mill, foundry and factory. Wheels whir, saws rip,
hammers ring on beam and anvil. Industry ex-
acts from forest vast timbers, from the soil vege-
tables and fruits for the factories and from the
hands of her laborers, garments for the clothing of
a people. Such power and progress we now pre-
sent.

EPISODE VI
The Development of the Professions

Law in the history of man sprang from a com-
mon need because of the overlapping of primal
privilege and expansive purpose. To prescribe
limitations, to protect inherent rights, to direct
the mind to a behavior dictated by abstract
justice have ever been the province of law.
The stability of legal procedure has given
justice and society strong and continuous
principles of conduct. Men versed in such
wisdom came when Fayetteville's thresholds
were few and growing demands have through-
out the years kept alive their social influence
in the persons of notable lawyers, such as
Judge David Walker, W. D. Reagan, A. M.
Wilson, Jas. R. Pettigrew, E. C. Boudinot,
Col. T M Gunter, Judge Lafayette Gregg,
Col A. S. Vandeventer, White Walker,
R. I. Stirman, J. D. Walker, J. V. Walker,
Col. Hugh A. Dinsmore, Col. E. P. Watson,
J. N. Tillman, R. J. Wilson, Major B.R
Davidson, Fayetteville's oldest living lawyer
of longest practice.
Though settled in a healthful climate our
people have of course needed medical attention
and as needs justified, the doctor came. From
earliest days the physicians of Fayetteville have
been a social force not only in our own
community, but in the state at large. Among
the notable ones are Dr. T. J. Pollard,
Dr. James Stevenson, Dr. R. J. Carroll, Dr. B. F. Fortner, Dr. C. S. Gray, Dr. W.
B. Welch, Dr. W. N. Yates, Dr. Otey Miller.
It was through Dr. H. D. Wood, Dr. R. J.
Carroll and Dr. W. B. Welch that the
Washington County Medical Society was
organized. Through organized medicine and
the advancement of science Fayetteville is
now supplied with a thoroughly equipped
hospital, a corps of able physicians, surgeons,
dentist and specialits, aided by skillful and
well trained nurses whose interest now lies both in curative and preventive medicine. Supported

INTERLUDE--NEGRO SPIRITUALS
With the first settlers come the negro slaves of
antebellum days. Their descendants living
in Fayetteville have contributed to the growth
of the community. Such population we here
represent in the old time negro spirituals sung
by residents of Fayetteville.

EPISODE VII
The Development of Religion

Riding up river levels, and along rugged divides,
missionaries were among the first men to sight
the glories of our land. In the rude raiment of the
times, riding far and hard they met scattered faithfuls and isolated needs. Under trees and brush arbors, and in log homes they sang and prayed and proclaimed the Gospel. Indeed it was in the blacksmith shop of John Lewis that the first church of Fayetteville was organized in 1830 by Rev. John Buchanan of Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Soon was organized a class of twelve members of the American Bible Society.
Under vastly different conditions, men of God
still proclaim the Gospel. The messages are not
different, since they voice the eternal. The people and the messengers are new, worshipping today in fifteen well organized churches with substantial buildings and highly developed departments of religious endeavor. Such matter under the guidance of the
spirit of the church we now portray.

EPISODE VIII
The Development of Education.

The development of religion and education
has been and still is a steady and vital force
in Fayetteville's history. The educational urge
asserted itself in 1839 when Miss Sophie
Sawyer, a most cultivated New England
woman and missionary to the Indians,
founded the Female Seminary on West
Mountain Street. The school was open to
young women and girls of the local com-
munity which with the earlier Cherokee
Indian girls increased the enrollment to
one hundred. Manners and morals were
the chief subjects in the curriculum. The
Civil War brought the school to a sudden close.
   The ravages of war also forced the Arkansas
College to close its doors. Rev. Robert
Graham, the founder, as a site for his college
purchased in 1851 "ten acres of land in the
northeastern section of the town." The
Christian Church and President Futrall's home
now occupy part of this northeastern tract on College Avenue. The schoolwas open to young men who under the influence of Rev. Graham and Rev. William Baxter developed into some of the best young men of the state and community.
   The Henderson school, named after Circuit
Superintendent Henderson, was erected in
1866 by the American Missionary Society.
Judge Lafayette Gregg and his wife gave the
site on which the building now stands. The
school was for several years taught by
white teachers, Miss Clara Henderson
