the lines being accompanied by a DO;
of Plows' best:
To the Sunflower Coons of Ironton,
We dedicate these sweets,
And these little Trilby squiblets,
We drop at the funny Coons' feet;
And trust, that in the future,
When we are old and lame,
The Sunhower Coons of Ironton,
Will be singing just the same.
Yes, to crowded houses, sweetly singing,
Amusing the little folks,
Breaking the hearts of the front-row dude
With the scathing local jokes.
And when the days work is ended,
And the crowd begins to GO,
May the banner of success be unfurled,
Immediately after the show.
Yes, unfurled to the breezes of Ironton,
Where all may see and know,
That the ladies of the Valley of Arcadia,
Can successfully manage show.
The poor, for whose benefit it is given,
Should ever cherish this honored boon,
And hold in sacred memory,
The gift of the Sunhowe< Coon.

peared the following allusion 10 the
Arcadia Valley as a summer resort:
There is chosen little coterie of St.
Louis people who every summer do not
pack huge trunks full of dress clothes,
and HE themselves to crowded sea-
shore resorts. Instead they quietly
go for a four hours ride on the Iron
Mountain road, and reach one of the
loveliest spots imaginable, Arcadia.
1t is a picturesque place at the foot of
the Ozark Mountains, and claims the
most interesting scenery in Missouri.
There are scores of clear, limpid
streams that will supply the mighty
isherman all the fun he wants and
enough solid ozore to please the most
fastidiOus. The roads are excellent,
both for driving and wheeling, and it
is the most acceptable and pleasure
able amusement. The spot gained
Its name through the enthusiasm of a
Young woman who made a visit there
some years ago. As she gazed at the
beauties of the scenery she exclaimed
Arcadia and SO it has been eyer
since Its nearness to st. Louis rem
ders it particularly desirable to bust
ness men. DIR. and Mrs. Forster have
been visitors there for some summers.
Mrs. Forster's daughters, the Misses
Overstolz. are sojourning there now.
General Turner's family go summer

one for summer comforts. w. H.
Thomson, cashier of the Boatmen's

within spacious grounds, the whole

dream of lovely coloring in foliage
and excursions of all sorts are in order.
A gay crowd of young people make
things always cheerful, with horses
and bicycles galore. The weather has
been delightful up to the present time,
