there is no convincing papa that he is

Possibly, and what about your

Laura, Except that Mr.. Knight said
he hoped papa would meet his son, and
ventured the belief that papa would be
greatly surprised to find how much
George had changed in the last fifteen
years. The idea! should think he
would be considerably changed. He
was only ten years old, think, when
papa tsaw him last-George!"
This last interjection was caused by
her suddenly noticing that Denton was
staring stupidity at an inoffensive water
bottle and muttering unintelligibly to
himself !,

in that on Tuesday, October 10, 1899,
the Interstate Express g. Stage Line
will begin the operation Of daily

Portable route to the great lead and
zinc mining district of northern Ark.
Information as to through rates to

press and Stage Line will be given at
an early date.-Springield Repub-
lican.
IL would seem that an arrangement
of the kind above mentioned, will
conflict considerably with passenger
traffic on the southwest branches of
the Frisco, and particularly the
Chadwick line. One thing sure it
will to some extent cut out traffic
that has been going through here to
aud from Yellville. Something ought
to be done to Offset the Memphis

Oakland Farm.

August 25th two young men for
merly from Milwaukee, Wis arrived
in Forsyth. These young men arc
named w. G. Bading and w. H.
Schreiber, and had been in city life
until completely disgusted with it,
With this feeling the boys sought
Taney county, where they have found
the surroundings much 10 their
liking. Mr.. Bading has taken 2tG
acres of land two miles down the
river, or just beyond Sampson Bar
kers. Mr.. Bading intends to begin
his work here in the sheep aud frui;
industries, and he certainly has a
model place for both. The writer
was out and looked over this place
the first of the week, and saw the
hewed logs and lumber which is TO
enter into the home of our northern
friend. The surroundings of the
place gave us an inspiration to name
it (without authority Oakland Farm.
Mr.. Schroeder as yet has not secured
any land, but perhaps will in the
near future.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,:
1 drop you a few jottings from our
thriving village.
Prosperity has struck us in lis
purity. Everything as well as our
mill is on the whirl. Uncle Alex
about at par. j. C. johnson & Co.
are doing rousing trade. j. c. Jr.
is just the man for the place and is
getting there with both feet.
We have had quite an excitement
over damning up one of our main
thoroughfares which has been kept
up by the county for 80 years. The
dam or obstruction was put in by
our esteemed friend ex-coroner and
would-be representative, DR.. Humph-
rey. We will just here say for the
doctors Information that this is not
Iowa and that he is monkeying with
the wrong end of the mule. AS such
outrageous conduct will not be toll
Grated. It was all right for him to
fence the road to Kissee Mills by way
of Esq. Thomas and the one leading
by the Billy Putnam place, but when.
he fences up the main thoroughfare
of travel from all the S. E. part of the
county, and all because he does not
like portion of his neighbors, we
say stop. It's o. K. for him to sell
drugs and liqnor, that's his business.
but fencing up roads is partly ours.

The Great Presidential Campaign of 1900.

The policies of the great political
| parties are now being formed and the
| cand idates discussed. The voice of
the people as recorded by ballot at
the approaching Presidential election
| will probably decide the policy of the
| nation for The next decade. Every
citizen must study the great ques-
lions that are to come before the peo-
pie. This can only be done through
the medium of a great newspaper.
| Now is the time. therefore, for every
voter to subscribe for the best and
most reliable newspaper obtainable.
The mi-Weckly Republic covers
the whole field of political news.
While it is Democratic, it publishes
the news in regard to all political
parties without prejudice. Its tele-
graphic and cable news service is SUI
perior to that of any other paper
Its special features are the best. In
fact, it is the paper for that large
class of readers who cannot afford or
do not have access to the daily
papers.
Attention is also called to the Re-
pubiic's sunday Magazine. It's half
subscription price. 1t is made up of
special articles by the best literary
talent, embracing variety of SUBJ
jects of current interest. News fea-
lures Of absorbing interest are illus
trated and enlarged upon. For the
benefit of the ladies the latest fashions
arc handsomely Illustrated: The Re-
public Sunday Magazine is always in
teresting to every member of the
family.
. The subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is $l.O0 per year.
The Republic Sunday Magazine $1.25
per year. Both papers are now be-
ing offered at the very low price of
$3.50 for one year. To secure this
low rate both must be ordered and
paid for at the same time.

To the Editor Of The Republican:


Oct. 2, 1899.
Believing that few local items
from the metropolis of the south
eastern part of the kingdom of fancy
will interest, at least, few of your
readers, send these.
Several of our citizens have visited
st. Louis during the past week. Ii. F.
Owens and John Keesee were pur-
chasing their fall and winter goods
wills and Claud Naves, Loge and Dan
Hopper. went with cattle. All re-
tnrned about the last of the week.
Health is generally good, but like
all other localities, the grim monster
visits US. We are sorry to announce
the death of Mr.. Leonard Railcy, q
promising young teacher, which oc.
| cured near here Oh the 23d ult.
Mcssrs. L. V. Flowers, of Walnut
Shade, and Otis Willcuts, of Taney-
vile, were here Saturday as appli-
cants for teachers certificates. Both
were successful.
Cotton picking is in full blast, and
while the dry weather cut the crop
short, still there is considerable cot
ton in this vicinity.
School is progressing nicely. The
enrolment has reached 1873 and the
attendance is far above an average
Like many other school-houses ours
has been poorly seated, but now we
are to have new seats, and as school
will continue till June, we predict a
large attendance this winter. At a
recent box-supper we raised money
for new flag which has come, and
will soon take the place of the old
one over the school house.
Drummers uaskett ana Briscoe,
were in our town Friday and Satur-
day.
Miss Cora James has dismissed her
school for month on account Of corn
gathering and cotton picking.
Mrs. N. S Bait has been sick for
the past week; also one Of DR..
Rrnwn's little boys.
There is considerable mineral ex-
citcment in this vicinity. There is
no doubt but that we are literally un-
dcrlaid with zinc. Several of our
people are prospecting.
Protein is sadly in need of a tele-
phone line from here TO Forsyth. We
hope that our people. as well as the
people of Cedar Greek, Kissee Mills
and Forsyth will get interested and
will extend the line from Polk Nc
IIailic's here. All ought to be inter-
ested in such an enterprise aud no
doubt would be if some one will take
the lead.
Immigrants are coming in almost
daily. Nearly all find farms and are
well pleased 20 become citizens of
Tancy.
Our Sunday school has gone dead.
What's the matter? Two nice new
churches and no Sunday school Lets
wake up. Protein is too progressive
for this. Something wrong.
