Polk County, Arkansas

Welcome to Cove, Arkansas.

A small town in the Ouachita Mountains of western Arkansas. This is our front porch on the internet — news from the town, ways to reach us, and a little bit about who we are.

Quote of the Day
To presume a want of motives for such contests as an argument against their existence, would be to forget that men are ambitious, vindictive, and rapacious. To look for a continuation of harmony between a number of independent, unconnected sovereignties in the same neighborhood, would be to disregard the uniform course of human events, and to set at defiance the accumulated experience of ages.
Alexander Hamilton — Federalist No. 6

As far as local law and order is concerned the highest is We the People, as defined in the Constitution. The second are the sheriffs and their deputies.

Apparently when you order non-organic, you order them by the single banana. But when ordering organic you order them by the bunch. The problem is you don't know how many you're going to get in a bunch. That's a bunch of nonsense! -Pappy
