A New Volume.

With the present number the PLAIN
DEALER commences Its AZ year.
Whatever of growth and business
there is in the county has come since
it's establishment in 1859. At that
time its broad expanse of prarie land
was largely unoccupied, and largely
owned by men who were not even resi-
dents of Iowa. ALI this has been
changed and Howard county is owned
by people who reside within its bor-
.ders. Its soils Of the best quality
aud its crops range high in both quail
ity and quantity. Its inhabitants
rank high in intelligence and are gen
eral newspaper readers hundreds of
its farmers beside taking a daily payer
have a local weekly newspaper for
every day of the week. Among this
class of people the PLAIN DEALER
goes to nearly l400 families in Howard
county. In 1859 it started with about
so subscribers all told. Now its sub
eribers number nearly five times as

saying that the PLAIN DEALER has
been a factor in the material, moral
and business growth of the county, and
is so recognized among the best class
OF its people.

Just so with women. Following are
some extracts from DR.. Bristol's SER
mon;
I'm the pursuit of liberty and politi-
cal privilege. all help should be given
to woman. Her education, her accom-
plishments, her opportunities should be
equal to mans. In that old picture
woman is clothed with strength and
power. Her industry is recognized as
the basic principle of her character
Give her the fruit of her hands, was
the old injunction. Pay her what she
earns is what it means in modern
speech. She has a place in the COM

a more faithful WIFE a more noble and
exalted mother is needed for her.

time after time are denominated agita-
tors. And this voice in the wilderness

these agitatOrs that have enunciated
imaginary rights in season and out of
season have brought to life much that
we enjoy as a free and independent

KNOXVILLE, MARCH "A. 1900.

THE Sunny South of recent date,
thus pays tribute to two of Tennessee :
talented daughters:
Elizabeth Fry Page was reared in Il
literary atmosphere, both parents being
noted for their attachments along that
line. She attributes much of her sue
cess to the fact that she has always ap-
preciated the value of the common
place. and has never striven after the
impossible and bizarre, All of this
journalists work shows keen, broad
sympathy, love of life and nature es-
pecially human nature, and a well de-
Veloped sense of humOr, which latter,
according to masculine theory, is sell
dom found in the feminine gender,
However, many consider her work of a
serious nature her best, Her
ideal home life puts to flight many Of
the hoary-headed, bug-bears about lit
erary labor and aspirations, necessarily
meaning inky fingers, careless attire
and untidy houses. Mrs. Page not only
takes a warm interest in the culinary
department of her pretty home in Nash
vile, Tenn, but actually originates
dishes herself yet we have unquestion-
able proof that her good husband has
never been attacked by indigestion, In
addition to her regular work in the
way of stories and sketches, she has re-
Gently assumed the editorship of the
literary department Of the Pythian
Period and Fraternities Review.
One of the most unique figures among
women journalists of the South is Miss
Ernestine Noa, of Chattanooga. She is
a clever writer and feiicitOus speaker
on occasions, also au able parliamenta-
rian and quite an enthusiastic club wO-
man, having been one of the original
movers in the formation of the Tennes-
see Woman's Press Club. She has since
its organizatiOn-thOu declining Of
tice-contributed no little to its sue
cess. Miss Noa's reading has been of a
scope and extent rare in young wo-
man. Few men possess her intimate
and accurate acquaintance with the
history and classics of English, French
and German literature. She is an eX-
ceptionally bright young woman soci-
ally, having that gift, that, art, so rare

1t is interesting that the novels of
Miss Mary Johnston, which were re-
viewed in the last weeks issue of THE
CHILHowEE Echo, are published in
England under different titles. "The
Prisoners of Hope" that every one re-
CARDS as a happy poetic phrase, has
been changed to the more prosaic
The Old Dominion" The second vent
ure, ITO Have and to Hold" has been
altered to the severer and perhaps
stronger title, by Order of the Com
pany." One is little curious to know
the publishers reasons for these
changes. Since Virginia was stanch
English colony at the time, is there
anything at all offensive to possible
English sensibilities in the original
titles?

EXCURSION SEASON.
Salt Water Resorts Seem TO be the
Objective Point This Year

Salt water seems 10 be objective point for
excursionists this summer
NeyNr IN the history OF the city have
SO many excursions nor SO largely attend
ed ones been given up to this time OF the
season. The vasieus Sunday-schools have
with practical unanimity gone off for a
days outing. and the choice seems TO
have centred on salt water.
Thousands of children have spent day
away from the heat and dirt of the city,
md have returned hundredfold benefited
by the trip. Thousands of adults have
accompanied the children. and have lived
over again their youth Tor the time being.
There is probably nothing that may tend
10 instill into the minds of youth the
owe and reverence for their studies and
their teachers more than an outing into
ms free. pure air, il only for a day
