 Gov Phelps kmcw what De was say ing when he ustersi the above hn- guage- He spoke frozl what he saw and knew Ia De facts He u-4z aeguain- ted ~iEh this e0Gusry, and eontideus ihat ia the fature fl pguld he tributary to Springfield and empty Into her por- taIs millions of dollars.
 His language on Ehe ab0Te occasion has been verified. + has been twelve years since The @b9vs waS uttered. The city of Springfield has increased won- derfully since. See what the pres cf that city has to say to-day. We quote from the Pa1riee-Advertiser

We were missak- en; the present indications art that Boone county alone will ship Soo0 bales of her own cotton. Lead Hill, 8 little town in the northeast corner of Boone county will ship lOeJ bales, and iheY want to go South. What glorious achieyment will be accOmplishcl when we can retAin in our State the money now going to Springfield and assisting 70 build up the homes of those who have no interest here and care less for our welfare. We belong to Ark, aud our money should remain here and our people enjoy the benefit deriyed there from, This work depends upon those who feel an interest, and could we but express our feeling in mandatory lan-
