KIRBYvILLE.


Here 1T the cross roads of the uni
verse we will write you from time to
time the doings of our country folk.
'Tis from this airy height the eye is
enabled to sweep In a westerly direc-
ton an easy undulating valley TO the
high hills beyond the White river
and Branson-town. In q south
easterly, we take in the whole of the
beautiful Mincy valley; while from
our back door yard, emanstes
that deep, deep gorge that passes
more directly east and enters the re-
current White river at the mouth
of Trigger hollow. This is
the first Of thoss historical hills,
which, extending northward culmin-
ates in the one lone hill known as the
Bald-knobber's hill. 'Tis here angels
delight to rest their wings and drink
in tho picturesque aud enchanting
beauty of all this lovely landscape.
Having located ourselves, 50 our
many friends may easily find us; we
will assay to say that when in KIRBY
Vile last week, we met our old friend
Judge Rice, who is now living in
Nixa, and who was down here to
pick up his baby boy (Fay), whom
they had overlooked in moving, and
lett behind. He reports his wife as
being we'll satisfied with their new
location; but as for himself, he always
expected to be at home in old Taney.
We also met the Misses Russells oi
Cedar Greek, who belong to the edu
cational field aud are creditably en-.
gagged in training the idoas Of Taney
how to shoot. They are now out cl
the school room for their spring Va
cation.

We understood our Ministeris
brother, lately arraved for disturbing
the peace, was mons uited for want O

We noticed that business was brisk
and while Kirbyvills sells more good
than any other place in the county
we think it is too bad that the city

AFRAID OF CITY LIFE
REV. A. j. BROWN ADVISES BOYS TO
STICK TO COUNTRY.
Where Civilization Reaches the High
est Point, He Says, the Most
Suicides Occur.

Stay in the country; don't come to the
city, is the advice / give 10 all young peo-
pie who write to me from small towns or
from farms and ask me TO help them get
positions here or in other cities" said the
Rev. 4. j. Brown, pastor of the Friends
Church. last night at the meeting of the
Prohibition League. The Rev. Mr.. Brown
talked on THE Decay of Liberty and
one of the points of his address on which
he placed probably the most stress is what
he calls the degenerating influence of a
city. He cited number of authorities and
had at his tongues end figures tending to
show that the cities are depopulating the
small towns and the country; that they are
constantly checking the growth of the viii
lage, and that the movement is dangerous
to liberty.
1T is a singular and unfortunate fact
he said, that wherever education and Gull
ture have reached point of high develop
ment, where the people have become re-
fined, sensitive to the delicate and esthetic.
suicides are more common than in COM
munities where the general average of ed
ucation and refinement is low Mr..
Brown remarked that his experience shows
that country boys are impelled toward city
life because OF the glitter OF Ii, the rapid
movement, the rush. But" he said, lit is
the rush of a clock running downfall Is
whirring on toward dissolution.
Since cities filling up at the expense
of the rural communities, and hard facts
seem to demonstrate that the virility of
city people is weakening, that they are
lacking in the physical vigor of previous
generations, Mr.. Brown wondered where
cities are going to obtain the rugged
strength of recruits and the fresh
young blood which they have secured
heretofore in the country. He deemed 1t
one of the serious social problems of the
age. Another element in the decay Of
liberty is alcoholism, he declared, and the
folly and unwisdom Of intemperance were
fully described
Following the general theme of his talk
he referred to the dsplacing Of labor by
hand with machinery. and made some in
teresting comments. 1T is a mistake to
infer. as so many people who may suffer
from the introduction of machinery in a
certain business do" he said, that it is to
the detriment of labor. For every ten men
who are thrown out of work by machinery
there are ten times that number given en-
ployment either directly or indirectly by
the machines"

of the club was held last night. Z. w.

MISS HALFORD'S DEBUT.
Washington Post.
Mrs A. j. Halford was the hostess at
very pretty tea yesterday, when she
presented her daughter, Miss Ruth Hal
ford, to a company of three hundred or
more friends. In the drawing room, in
which the hostess and the debutante well
coined the company, were scores of bou-
quets, most of them in pink roses and
chrysanthemums which were charmingly
arranged about the walls and formed a
becoming background for the attractive
young bud, to whom they were sent. Miss
Halford, who is tall and graceful, with ex-
tremely pleasant manners, wore a modsh
gown of white Organde and lace on a foun-
dation of white taffeta, and carried two
bouquets, one of orchids and lilies of the
valley and one OF violets. In the dining
room, where Mrs. Burrows and Mrs
Ridgely did the honors of the tea table,
the decoration was of Southern smilax
and American Beauty roses, the ceiling
and walls being completely covered by
the smilax. In addition to the ladies at
the tea table, Mrs. Halford was assisted
by Mrs. John W. Foster, Mrs. Charles Eos
ter, Mrs. John o. Evans Mrs. Dean, Mrs.
Coleman, of Indianapolis; Miss Hurst, Miss
Olive Gale, Miss Hester Shepard and Miss
Ridgely."
