The Missouri Girl.

The Missouri Girl, which will be
presented at the Brooks Theatre is ii
decided departure from the usual
style Of comedy drama and is marked
by novelty in construction and re-
markable magnifcence in mounting.
The characters are peculiar in the ex-
treme Nothing like them has ever
been seen in any other play, most Of
which have been copied from life.
MIR Raymond, the author spent the
greater part of one summer studying
character in southwest Missouri and
after selecting some strong types, he
has woven them into a plot that is
surprisingly natural The character
of zeke Dobson, the Yankee boy, who
came out west to make his fortune"
is acknowledged to be the most
unique and laughable of any ever seen
in a stage production.

toccarionaily comes to- pass that ~ the
midst of the Great Forest some giant of
the Wood, high in stature and mighty in
girth, is loosened from It's moorings and
with crash that startles animate Nat
ure it strikes Mother Earth with con
cussion so forceful that it seems to
momentarily shake its very foundation.
So it is with the Forest of Woodcrafi
at times. A Neighbor who seemed
tower OF strength, who was esteemed one
of the strongest guardians of the Order,
in whose courage and integrity all re
posed faith, has been unexpectedly
brought low by dread disease, and death
has claimed him for his own.
Elk Mountain Camp mourns over the
loss of one of its strongest characters.
his manly powers, his strong rectitude,
his loyalty to Woodcraft. his love for his
family and his faithful devotion to his
friends. He loved Woodcraft and its
beautiful symbolism was his ideal, and
its lectures of practical wisdom became
the guiding principles of his daily life.
In view of the love and high esteem In
which Elk Mountain Camp held Neigh
b # j. S. Olney, be it
Resolved; That we mourn the de-
parture of Il true and noble Wocdman.
That we extend to his stricken family
and loved ones our sincere sympathy,
hoping that in his noble life they will
find consolation and comfort, and that
across the Dark River there will be "a
glorious reunion.
To his legion OF friends and associates
we would say: I'VE Join with you in ex-
pressions of esteem. friendship and fra
tcrnity," and be it further
Resolved; That copy OF this memo
rial and resolutions be spread on the

COTTO INCOMING IN AND BUYERS
ARE BUSY SECURING TIE
STAPLE.
Estimates Place Local Crop at 25 to
80 Per Cent Short of Last
Years Yield.
SECRETARY RUSSELu'S REPORT

For he last few days cotton has
been coming into the city in steady
leads and the buyers are busy. al
though there has been but little ship
ping up 10 this time. The season be-
gan nearly a month late, and prom
jnent planters estimate that the crop
will be from - to so per cent short
OF that of last year. Reports from
various sections OF the state. especially
from the planters along the river say
that many fine crops which promised
an exceptionally good yield six weeks
the last twenty days. This is due
mainly to the big stalk, which is al
most universal this year Cotton never
makes it's best crop when the strength
of the plant goes into the stalk, and
it is the general rule that big stalk
means poor yield This is due to
wet weather in the early spring and
summer which came just at the time
when the plant was growing and start
ed a heavy growth of weeds. The
drouth in the latter part OF August and
the first of September was another de-
stroyer of the crop and much Of the
small stuff dropped off during that
season.
Along the river bottom the planters
have been greatly troubled with army
worms. which are an enemy to crops
These worms do not destroy the plant
itself or the bolls, but eat away all the
tender leaves and the shucks around
the bolls, which leaves them exposed
to the sun and dwarfs development.
On many of the river plantations the
army worms have literally cleaned the
plants of their leaves, leaving only the
bale stalk standing.
J;I to this time the planters have
had no trouble getting pickerS to
gather the crop. but many of them say
there is no telling how soon this
trouble will commence. Nearly every
ye6l when the negroes find the crop
is heavy and there vii! be pIe.,sy Of
