A Suggestive Picture.


 We are Under ten thousand thanks to Col, H. Glitsch, of Harrison, one oi themoste fficient and jealous workers in the cause of establishing trade between the Northwest and Southern markets, for nicely conceived and splendidly executed photograph of 8 scene repre- senting the result of the new move to bring the business of that section South. rAt the left hand side of the picture stands the man who has been buying his goods at Springfield, Mo-, gaunt, slim, almost starved to death. He carries over his left shoulder the stars and stripes dropping as though all the starch had been taken out of 1t. The Eagle is about taking its flight from the banner of it's love, In his right hand the emaciated contributor to Springfield's riches carriers stick on which is carved "Pride of Missouri" The bare feet of the poor dupe are bhO idi ScSt part VI iiihus Oh thO iiShe of the picture is another man, fat, fine looking, likely, smiling, well-dressed, his feet encased in shining boots, with his watch chain, and bearing on his breast the shield of "State Pride." In his right hand he carries the starry banner of his country floating proudly to the breeze, with streamers flying from It "Prosperity"--"Victory." Iii the background away far of, is Har- rison. From that point starts out a railroad, tunneled through the Boston Mountains and ending in Russellville. A long train of cars laden with the rich products of North Arkansas emerges from the tunnel and while the rear car is hardly out of the tunnel the panting locomotive draws up at Russellville. It is hardly necessary to say that the fne-looking fellow on the right is the man who buys his goods at "Little Rock, Arks." To be appreciated the picture must be seen. It was done by Frank Alverson, Photographer, at Harrison, who was South with the re- cent "boom."

Will Not the City Council Abats
 the Nuisance?

It is shameful to see how all country men are annoyed and inconvenienced by the loose stock which is allowed to run in our streets and get sustanence by stealing it from the wagons of countrvmen who come to our town to trade. And after man has hauled his provender twenty or thirty miles so that he may have something to fe ed his jaded team, it certainly must be very exasperating to him to see some half- starved old COW or horse or SOW go to his wagon and gobble up the fodder, oats or corn which he has hauled so far for his own team. We see it done every day. And not only is it getting to be nuisance to our farmers and traders who visit this town, but also 1t is becoming a matter of aggravation to our merchants; for they cannot trade with man more than 8 minute-and- a-half until he has to stop and go out to drive the hungry stock away from his wagon.
 There must be a remedy for this. It is wrong and unjust. The man who owns a COW or horse here In town has no right to turn it out to infiict damage and loss upon others. We demand of our town council that they pass an or dinance making it unlawful for owners of stock here in town to turn them loose in the streets and ord aiming that the owners of such stock shall pay for any damage such stock may do. Ifyou won't do this, gentlemen, just pass an ordinance making it unlawful to turn stock loose in the streets and barring the owners from the right to any dam age to stock which may be inflicted up- on them while robbing countrymens' wagons of proyender. If men who own stock in town which they see dai- ly encroaching upon other peoples rights and Inflicting losses upon countrymen, haven't sufficient regard

Boone County Items.
From the Harrison Times.

From the Harrison Times.
 As we went the Rlchland route II was decided to come back the ''old pike road' and to our agreeable sur prise we found it a good road, one that will require but little outlay tc make it first-class 10 the summit on the north side, and we hope the en- gineers will view it before perman ently locating the pike as we fec confident it is the best of the noun. taia routes, plenty of water and feed all along It, and people who will work to keep the road in order ii once built.
 Springfield drummersthat have visited our town slnce the Boom, have not been happy, and some instead of indeavoring in business like manner to counteract the effects thereof have adopted the insolent manners they use at home and try to bulldoze everybody. Gents, that thing is played out, and the sooner your masters find it out the better for them.
 Hon. R. B. Weaver gave us a call on Wednesday last. He reports things in his locality as prospering, particularly the merchants of1 the "boom" question. Bully for chat.
 The "Boom" was grand success and in a few weeks more we shall expect to see some of our Little Rock and Russellville ''kinfolks" ur to see us and our beautiful country They will be thrice welcome.

District Normal Institute.

We are informed by State Superin- tendent Denton, that the Normal h. stitute for the Fifth judicial District will be held at this place, March 9th, 10th and 1Ith. Prof. Jno. J. Ladd, of Virginia, master of the school-room tactics, and fascinating and instruc- tive lecturer, will take part in the exer- cises. The occasion will be one of rare interest and profit to teachers and we hope and believe that there will be a large attendance. Our citizens will make ample provision for the free en- tertainment of teachers. We hope to witness the most enthusiastic educa- tional meeting that has ever been in the state.

Insurance For All.

We had pleasant call from Mess. F. II. Murphy and J. l.. Horton, representatives of the German Insur- ance Company of Freeport, Illinois, yesterday. These gentlemen will be in our county for some days and will wait upon our people and give all who desire to do so, chance to insure. The company they represent has been in business for the past 13 years and has an established standing. It makes speciality of Farm risks giving pro- lection on not only buildings but fafni Stock, both on the farm and at large, and grain either in the stack or in the granery. The Company will take your risk and give you time if you have not ready funds. The hazard of going without insurance is always great and our people will do well to give Mess. Murphy and Horton their risks.

Dedicated To The Ozark Chris
 tian Temperance Union.
BY IDUs. L. FIELDER.

God Smiled upon the litte band And gave them courage to withstand The power of King Alcohol; And now there's not throughout the
 land A place SO nice or town so grand As Franklin's rising capital The monster reigned through many
 years A reign of terror and of tears,- But HERR he's hissed and secuted! We now defy his coward jeers, His sinking taunts and sickly sneers, And crush him where he's routed. He pilfered purse, degraded mind, And sowed discord of every kind, And gloried in his conquests. His very breath blowed evil wind, His poisonous sting and fury blind Swept like & madened tempest. His smiles were soft his rage concealed, Meath bouquets which left unreyealed His heneUus soul and frightful mien. Envlroned thus he has appealed And FoNDLEp those he fain would
 wield,
 For crucifying grief and pain. A thousand times ten thousand hearts, ItlTCcu Wltu . Vail out the sad refrain! Oh soul bereft of nobler parts, Led captive by his fiendish arts, Ne'er look on hope again And on the slope of hells domains. Where Alcohol first woes and reigns, Stand men of noble birth, Till fetttered by his heatless chains, They plunge land steeped in guilty
 stains,
 Bid sad adieu to earth. His victims gone!-THEIR BLEACHING
 BONES His dying slaves-THEIR aHosTLY
 GRoANs.
 Peal forth burning prayer To all mankind in pleading tones, The poor, the rich, empires, thrones! To shun the arch-fiend's snare. Oh man of sorrow-full of care Why will you touch or tase 9-why
 bear
 That crown of sorrow-crown of woe Why pet the demon in his lair, Whose very visage breathes despair, And who is mans worst foe? If you have felt his poisoned fang, And round your life he's sought to Garlands of the Dead Sea fruit, Do turn at once! avert the FANG, Which BATTLING, KEELING, RANKLING,
 RANG
 Through thousands now in ashes
 mute. Oh would you feel the sacred thrill Which swells the soul? WILL
 WILL!
 A sober man I'll be Then 'rousei resolve? Gods mission
 fill, Brave as Leonidas guarding still The Pass, Thermopolae. OZARK January 10, 1880.
