One of the Texas editors who
visited Eureka Springs last week
thus speaks of the city o! springs
when he returned to his home at
Greenville: The streets of this
city were evidently not laid out
with reference to lines and bounda-
ries determined by the use of the
levil and transit. Following a
natural bench, found in the noun
tain side, they abound in crooks,
turns and angles, without any regu-
larity whatever in direction.
The formation of the mountain is
remarkable, sort of a geological
confusion. A person might almost
imagine. without any very great
effort, that here may have been
located tho Creators work bench
when he fashioned the universe.
All around is one vast, irregular,
upheaval of steep, rugged hill, the
sharp backbon of which are doye-
tailed into each other at all angles,
forming gulches OF various depths
heading in from all directions,
like the spokes of wheel. There
are no broad valleys; nothing but
deep, dark, wooded gulches and
canens, lined with projecting
ledges OF rock to the very summit
Of the mountains. which rise ab-
ruptly. This rock has in many
places been br ,ken into small,
angular frag gmeats, covering the
adjacent surface to tho depth OF
several feet, looking as if some
immense portable quartz.mill had
made tour through the country
and tried its powerful jaws on the
rocks. doing its work faithfully
and well. Indeed, this whole re.
gicn looks as if some mighty
eruption had once convulsed the

set of merchants and dead town,
The Co. part of w. r. Sneed
stated in last weeks issue of THE
TRIBUNE that we claimed that they
were only selling goods to few
pets. That is positive lie. We
stated that he was making a few
cut prices to few specials. AS to
them having so many pets as he
represented, we don't believe that
a man that makes as many false
representations as he does could p OF
anything, much less an Intelligent
customer; and to make this plain to
the minds of the people, I will state
that he telephoned to Mr.. Hinch-
man at Berrvville to come to
Green Forest snd sell a customer
of ours a binder, or send him
some contracts and let him sell
it, and he represented to Mr.. Hich
man that this customer would
not buy of u.s. Now, the Co. part
has no binder to sell, but under
mindingly wanted to beat US out
of the sale Of it. These are facts
and we defy the Co, part to deny
1t. Respectfully,
A. BLAsINdAME.

His father died when the subject

age.
HE was good to his mother"
is the testimony of those who
have known him. The kindness
of his stepfather, Mr.. S. M.
Leigh, for the past four years,
and especially in his last sickness
was appreciated when he ex-
claimed: HE is the best man
in this county ~
Besides attending the common
schools of his boyhood, the de-
ceased had been at the All Hal

LoCEL GLEENKNGa.

The last session of the Mis-
souri, legislature passed an act
authorizing the appointment of a
commission to take steps for the
erection of a monument to one
of her illustrious citizens whose
memory is enshrined in song
and whose name is familiar to
every one in California forty
years ago. The name of the
hero was Joe Bowers, and he
immortalized himself and old
Missouri by writing the famous
song which bears his name, the
first stanza being as follows
My name it is Joe Bowers,
I've got brother Ike,
came from old Missouri,
ALI the way from Pike.
I'll tell you why left there,
And how came to roam,
And leave my poor old nanny
So far away from home.
Joe then proceeds in rhyme to
narrate his little romance, how
he loved a girl named Sally
Black, who when Joe asked her
to marry him said ''it was a
whack," but insisted before they
hitched for life, it was Joe's duty
to get little house in which to
keep his little wife. So Joseph,
for Sally's sake, started for Cali
fornia to try to raise a stake.
The parting was very affecting.
When Joe bid adieu to all "Sall
cotched him around the neck
and then began to bawl." Joe
made his way to the land of gold
and after the usual ups and
downs of miners life made
stake and was on the eve of re-
turning to claim his bride, when
one day he got letter from his
dear, kind brother Ike. 1t came
from old Missouri, all the way
from Pike. lit told the gol-
darndest news that you ever did
hear"
1t said my Sally was tickle,
Her love for me had fed,
That she had married a butcher,
Whose hair was awful red.
1t told me more than that,
Its enough to make me swear
1t said that Sally had baby.
And the baby had red hair.
Joe Bowers was known as the
"poet lariat'' of Ell Dorado, where
he fiourished in the SOS and will
be remembered by many old
Californians.
What a strange, changing
thing is the mind of a boy. 1t
is seldom at rest. Even in
dreams, action shows itself and
fun, having a good time, hair
breadth escapes and heroic en-
counters, continue the quest
begun with the day. The mind
of a boy ! Who can fathom it ?
Only God. Here and there, per-
haps poet, dreaming in after
years, weaves a subtle rhyme of
his boyhood days, attempts to
live himself again and calls the
work a poem. But at best it is
far, aye very far from all he
knew in his longing days of low
ing youth. Yet the world, all
eager for its past best self, ent-
ers in the soul work he has left
and SaeS in IL the dream of otbaY.
days. How vitality important
then to know the inner depths of
childhood's heart the boy that is
to be tommorrow's man and
sympathizing with all that will,
with the years germinate man
hood, frown down with a gentle,
stern command, that which shall
weaken, knowing how impress
sionable it is on the boy. Let us
then try to be o boy with him,
