As I'm about to speak to the annual meeting of the Dardanelle Area Chamber of Commerce, I think to myself what a unique place Yell County is. Dardanelle has produced nationally known figures ranging from golfer John Daly to U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton. In fact, Cotton's parents are sitting one table over.

Two law students want to serve their hometowns in rural Arkansas, and a new Rural Practice Incubator Project at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, William H. Bowen School of Law will make that possible.
Bowen Law has selected two graduates to participate in its Rural Practice Incubator Project. Over the next 18-months, Cynthia Aikman and Abraham “Sam” Keefer will get support and training from the law school while they build their own small-town law practices, Talk Business & Politics reported.
“They are passionate about the areas they call home and committed to helping their neighbors and fellow residents,” Theresa Beiner, dean of the Bowen law school said in an interview with TB&P. “We look forward to helping them achieve their goals.”
