Excerpt from The Fortnightly Review, 1922, Vol. 29 I visited Pocahontas at least every other week to hear the confessions of the Sisters. Jonesboro, which had but a few hundred inhabitants when I first visited the place, was steadily growing, and by this time had from 5000 to 6000. The same was the case with Paragould. When I visited Paragould the first time, in 1882, it had perhaps half a dozen buildings. In 1899 there were in both places a number of factories, with hundreds of employees, and both had become important railroad centers.
