ARKANSAS SURVEY BY
 ROCK ISLAND.

Salem, Oct. "A. The two corps of Rock Island surveyors, who have been engaged in locating line from Belle, Mo, to Newport since last May, met in Salem today with the preliminary survey complete. The town is quail flying in true Arkansas style. The line as located runs through the busi- ness center of the town, in fact, it cuts the town through from north to south, and runs south just west of
 courthouse square. This road, if built, will give us direct communica- tion with Little Rock, Kansas City and St. Louis. Already our farmers are talking of the big orchards they ex-

MRS. MEALS ADDRESS.
Greeting From Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs to the Daugh ters of the Confederacy By President, Mrs. w. M.
 Neal

It gives me great pleasure to be present at this convention and to be the bearer of greetings from the Ar kansas Federation of Women's Clubs Daughters of the Confectionery. On our white, blue and gold banner is in scribed, Courtesy, Culture and Cour- age" Following the lead of the first of this trinity of ideals, we, three thousand strong, pledged to high en- deavor in the intellectual, social, scientific and philanthropic progress of Arkansas, salute you and wish for you fullest fruition of the high hopes and exalted aims which animate you as you go about your consecrated work of revivifying noble and illus trious past.
 Your work is not only to keep green the graves of your heroes or to strew them annually with flowers; to mem- orialize these loved and revered ones in marble and bronze, or to aid in seeing that the truth is told concern ing them, but it is yours to hold up, and keep alive the memory of their valor and their virtues; their devotion to principle; their moral courage in l the hour of defeat; their resignation their optimism, it may be, in dark days; their heroism, shining more 
 brightly, if possible, in the courageous resumption of the daily task and com mon round than on the inspiring come after them may be inspired with pure and lofty ideals, desire to serve their fellow men, and to exalt the glory of our state and country.
 The new century which we are in, will, we hope and believe, call for no such sorrowful sacrifice to honor and valor and principle as that which the past one demanded But it does call for the same spirit of self sacrifice, devotion and courage in it's men and women, that true patriotism may be examplified, good government up held, and the happiness, edification and welfare of the people secured.
 1t is we'll within the work of women, indeed, it is their work, though not theirs alone, to inculcate the ideals and principles that make for a pure, noble and enlightened citizenship.
 The Daughters of the Confederacy, as have tried to suggest, are doing a work that will be potent influence in the realization of this ideal Be- lieve me, the work of the Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs has the same end in view. Does not this thought bring the two organizations closer together and make fraternal greeting from one to the other em- inently proper. And is it not right and desirable that they and all other state organizations having high aims and noble purposes should be brought into close sympathy and that they should be mutually helpful? They may cooperate in spirit and aim if not in actual work and thus speed the day of noblef, purer, sweeter and more beautiful Arkansas.
