Paris, Arkansas
The village of Paris was formed on the Old Military Road between Little Rock and Fort Smith, and 5 miles (8 km) south of the Arkansas River.Today, the economy of Paris is benefitting from the presence of manufacturing facilities producing parts for the automotive and aerospace industries.Farming and ranching remain among the largest industries in the county, and tourism got a boost with the construction and opening of a 60-room lodge and guest cabins on the top of Mount Magazine, which is 18 miles (29 km) south of Paris.Several interests have been made in the area by bauxite mining companies looking to reduce the costs of aluminum foil production.She disappeared one evening from her home and was found about eight days later, partly submerged in water in a well on the farm of Ambrose Johnson.She was found with a large stone tied around her neck with telephone wire, a bullet through her head, and about a wagon load of rocks covering her body.The girl was believed to be alive when she was put into the well because her hands were filled with dirt that could only result from a struggle or attempting to free herself.It has many relics of Paris' past, such as farming equipment, clothing, and everyday objects from the settlers' lives, and exhibits of Native American, Civil War, and coal-mining artifacts.In 1885, the weekly Express was purchased from Charles Noble by William M. Greenwood, former publisher of the Chismville Star and an associate with the Fort Smith Daily Tribune.Hugh and J.C. Park of the Van Buren Press-Argus purchased the Express from the Greenwood estate and then sold it a few months later to Wallace D. Hurley.Guion was editor and publisher of the Express and a sister paper, the Paris Progress, and in 1946 served as president of the Arkansas Press Association.
