WATER POWER.

No town in the West has better Op-
portunities for natural power than
has Forsyth. The town lies between
Swan creek, a beautiful, swift, clear
stream, and White river. Both of
these streams have high, rocky banks,
and would afford unexcelled power
for electrical aud manufacturing pur-
poses. The power that can be here
generated with small expense could
be used to force the water into reser-
voirs on the high hill above the town,
where it could be transmitted in
mains throughout the city, giving
natural pressure equal to fall of 400
feet. Electricity could be here gen.
Grated to furnish power for the OPP
Grafton of all the mills, electric roads
and light required for miles around.

MAYOR Terpin, of Livermore, Iowa,
is one of those heroic souls who
would not hinder the course of JUS
tice because it might strike near
home. Recently he slapped the face
Of a man Who abused him, whereupon
he brought himself before himself,
arraigned himself for assault, pro-
secuted himself, acted as lawyer tor
the defense, and as judge sitting on
the case found himself guilty and
fiued himself more heavily than ever
man had been fined in his court for
the same offense. The Algona Upper
Des Moines is responsible for the
story. The facts preceding the case
indicate that while the mayor meted
out inexorable justice to himself. the
man whom he slapped richly deser-
we'd all lie received.

BusINEss PROSPECTS.

In every line of trade and COM
merce Forsyth offers golden oppor-
tunities for investment. There is not
a trade, calling or investment that is
overdone, but there are many wholly
unrepresented, not only in the town
but in the county. For instance,
there is not in Taney county a hard
ware store, a millinery store a bakery,
first-class hotel, tin shop, a wagon
maker or a lumber yard. And 3
score of other needful trades and
business might be mentioned. The
opening here for a saw and planning
mill is excellent. With the river to
raft the logs to the very mill, and a
demand not only local but widespread,
growing with each day. A brick kiln
is also needed. Bricks now have to
be hauled from great distance, al
though the finest of materials are at
hand here.
More houses are in demand. No
surer return can be had on money in-
vested than by erecting tenement
houses in this town.
Here is a magnificent opening for a
furniture factory to turn the oak,
sycamore and walnut of our streams
into plain furniture that can be used
in the local trade.
A canning factory and fruit evap-
orator are two industries that would
pay big dividends on the investment.
All the products Of such concerns
would be consumed in the local trade.
or could be shipped out by water.

CATION.
BUSINESS oPPoRrUlk1T1Es AT FORSYTH
An examination of the map will
show that Forsyth is an ideal location
for large town. 1t has not only a
beautiful site. but one well adapted
to the requirements of q city, having
a natural drainage and water supply
and unlimited natural power and
transportation. 1t is at the head of
navigation on White river. Above
this point the river drains vast ter
ritory, rich in agricultural, timber and
mineral resources. Below is greater
scope which can be supplied from
this point by river transportation.
White river Is navigable in its pres
ent state at least half of each year for
steamboats,. II is always navigable
for RATS aud barges and flatboats.
But there is now an item of $16O,OO0
in the present appropriation bill be-
tore Congress to be used Oh the i'm
pr"vement of White river, which will
make the stream accessible to steam
boats all the year ronnd.
AT present the railroad terminates
at Chadwick, twenty-six miles north
of Forsyth, but this road will un-
be extended into Arkansas,
and who can question the fact after
a map of this section, but
that the road will cross White river
at this point on the line of the old
Walker survey, upon which the pre-
sent extension of the Frisco south
from Springfield to Chadwick is built.
Indeed. it is an open secret that this
route is the one to be followed aud
that very soon the Chadwick branch
will be extended south to this point,
which is more than likely to remain
for some time the terminus of the
road

A MEDITATION.
Thoughts Concerning the Obser,
ance of Memorial Day.

Thoughts Concerning the Observ
ance of Memorial Day.
A veteran soldier bearing flowers with
which to decorate the graves of comrades
impersonates the spirit of Memorial day,
says correspondent of the Springfield
Mass Republican. Soldiers of the regu-
lar army, navy and state militia uniting
with the Grand Army in the peaceful dem
onstration; the quiet gatherings at armo-
ries, churches, halls and public squares;
the private with musket and polished
bayonet; the officer with sword sheathed
in cleaning scabbard; the waving plumes
and gay accouterments of the select COM
pany; the artillerymen, proud Of their
polished cannon; the cavalrymen, aiming
to witch the world with noble horse
manship;" the colored soldiers, proud of
the privilege to mingle with the men who
made emancipation possible; naturalized
and nationalized soldiers, proud Of being
American citizens; the orator of the day,
proud to be the orator Of the day; the
leader Of the band, with his imperial and
impressive gestures; the band, playing
hymn, song or dirge with the same wea-
ried and perfunctory air; the stirring roll
of drums as the closed ranks move as by
spontaneous impulse; the solemnity as the
columns march with reverent tread into
the slumbering churchyard the appealing
voice of prayer; the placing Of the floral
tributes that leave the soldiers graves like
poisoning mounds-all this and more is
Familiarity connected with the observance
of Memorial day in the city.

WORSHIP OF THE HEROIC.

Custom Born In Antiquity.

Memorial Day a Continuation of q
Custom Born In Antiquity.
Running in parallel lines throughout
the history of civilization we find love of
the beautiful and worship of the heroic
Joined together, the ever reminding evil
dence of the presence Of those higher and
better qualities of our imperfect natures
which lift humanity to plane above the
commonplace Of a merely material exist
ence.
This oompanionship of the artistic
with the heroic has taught us that the
Office Of the beautiful and noble in art Is
to give living and enduring expression to
the heroism Of the ages.
Today in our humble and imperfect
way we assist to continue tho beautiful
custom born Of antiquity. The solemn
and impressive magnitude Of the work be-
fore us will attest for many generations TO
como the love and respect people bear
for our brave comrades who, nearly IS
years ago, laid down their lives upon this
never fading field of honor; not only a
field of honor for those who fell face to the
foe, but for those who fought shoulder to
shoulder with them. Many have since
fallen by the way, but those hero today
who tread again this sacred soil testify
their love and loyalty for the dead Of their
regiment, who here gave their lives for q
cause they had sworn to promote and
maintain. General Hawkins
