Kind Words For Taney.

Forsyth, No., May "a, '93.
To the Editor Of THE REPUBLICAN,:
In closing nv last endeavor to in
terest the readers Of your paper in
regard to Taney county, I closed
with u promise of "more anon" I
will now make another effort to so
"speak right out in meetin'" in such
a manner that will at least partially
interest those who have the interest
of Forsyth and Taney county ut
heart, and all outsiders who may be
fortunate enough to receive a copy
of THE TANEY COUNTY REPUBLICAN,.
To all those who contemplate coming
to southwest Missouri and to Taney
county, l would say in all candor,
AMI with truthfulness in my mind,
that it will be money well spent, and
you canuot go to section of country
in any seven adjoining states, "taking
Taney county as a central point to
radiate FROM" where you can spend
a month or two, for health or plea
sure, any better than here. Come to
Forsyth where at the present writing
you can feast on the finest "bass"
caught from the clear, limpid waters
of White river, or fried chicken, and
wash it down with as fine a cup of
"Mocha coffee" made by as fair
women as ever brewed cup of cof-
tee; trimmed with the richest of
cream, taken from the milk OF pure,
thoroughbred Jersey cows, with
white wheat bread made from wheat
raised on the hills of Taney county,
ground into flour by a mill run by
the water Of the beautiful Swan
creek; bread made by the hands OF
fair women, and so light it would
float on the air; seasoned with the
rich, yellow grass favored butter
made from the rich milk of the Jer-
sey cow. Then close the feast with
dish Of the largest, finest, most lus-
cious strawberries that ever passed
between your lips. This is no real
estate agents exaggeration but the
pure unvarnished truth by home
steader just located. Now you have
had your break fast as above, let US
go to the livery stable and have them
hitch up the pair of prancing bays to
the two seated top mountain wagon,
and HE us to the country where we
can feast our mind aud eyes Oh the
works of nature by viewing the land
scape ore, as we have already feasted
the inner man. On our road out, in
any direction we may go, ycu will
see fields of winter wheat just begin
ming to head, and just across the road
or just over the fence in another field
the eye meets with field of corn,
now about six inches high and very
clean of weeds. The next change is
a ten acre field of fine red clover, a
sight that is very seldom seen, as a
clover field in this section of this ter
restial globe, is very few and far be-
tween. And why such state of af-
fairs should exist remains to be ex-
planned, when it is self evident fact
that clover will produce fully as well,
If not better than any north of the
Missouri river or east of the Mississ-
ippi river. The fields of clover now
growing goes to prove it, to be a posi-
tive fact. l do not understand why
the farmers persist in their procrasti-
nation in securing good field of
clover, when it has been proven, and
cannot be contradicted that clover is
the best crop that can be grown for
feed for all kinds of stock. This
claim cannot be denied. More anon,
Iowa.
