md what is wrong there is deep gulf

and what is wrong there is deep gulf fixed and those who cross find them selves losing their way in the world, ioslng their way to the kind of man or woman they want to be, mean to be, the kind of man or woman all their kindred and friends have fixed it in their hearts to make of them. Boys and girls, men and women do not go wrong any more than they reach heav- en by single bound; but it is by lis tening to the voices which we know are tempting, and yielding to the ways which we know are wrong; it IS this the cry, Oh whither hast thou led me? To what evil fate has it come about that I who meant to be honor able, and true and worthy in the world am come to such as this which hate despise and fear? Human na- ture is not in Itself fallen, and base, and ignOble, nor is human nature in itself at the first noble and divine. Human nature is just possibility, 1nti- nite possibility, the possibility of base ness and shame is there and the pOssi- bility of high honor, and noble worth, and finding our way is finding our worth, and the grace of God becoming worthy. Losing ou- way is losing our WOTUu duu OcCOLulAS OA A"OA OAy oA3A beseech you to enter not carelessly or thoughtlessly on any path which ends by losing your way in the world.
 It may perchance be that someone here to-day finds themselves in such a place of uncertainty and wandering. They know, and only know that where they are it is misery to be, and what they are they never meant to become. Their hopes and dreams and plans were all far away from this place of temptation and shame and remorse and self reproach where now they find themselves, and if that be so with any one here I would you might clearly know that it was for such as you King Solomon was praying here in his first prayer in Gods temple, and for such as you many kingly men and more than kingly women have been praying ever since, and are praying now to-day praying that God may show you again the way and bring you again to the path of light that shineth more and

more unto the perfect day. Will you not then pray for yourself? Will you not give God the chance to answer all these prayers by yielding yourself to the better Spirit which calls you from every wrong or foolish way to the high and glad service of what is sweet and pure and good. I beseech you, friend or stranger within these gates, if An tony's cry is ever yOurs-if ever you feel that you have lost your way in the world because your way has ended up Solomon's prayer still rises from tenn pie and church and Christian hearts to-day and God will hear it out of His holy heaven, and God will help you wherever you may be, however far out in the worlds wilds you may have wandered, God will help you back to the clear, bright way of light and hope and heaven again. May God bless all wanderers and wayfarerS that may happen this way with the blessing that brings them again home.
 But this losing our way in the world by the misleading of wrong and sin, though it is the saddest and the far thest, is not by any means the only wandering. There are very many who, while they do not think themselves I1CCU3 yCU AO AOV AOVA UA4OAAoCA SOo OA- slaved and shamed by any special sin, who yet are at loss in the world; they have found other things in life too much for them; they have met adver- sities, which seemed undeserved, or face difficulties which seem insur- mountable; and they cannot see any special use in living, any worthy pur- pose for which they were made.

The town got its name Dack III the early day when that particular iocal- itv was thickly inhabited by the black bears, which have given Arkansas the name of the Bear State. Inc hunter who lived there killed a great many bears. from which he made many hun dred gallons of oil Being long ways to market, he set about in hls crude way of finding means to transport nlS precious oil to the nearest trading post There were no saw mills in the country and no steamers plying the White River, [, so he made dug-out (that IS, sklH from log), and filling his dug-out With bears oil, hoated down White River to the nearest town The entire country from which he came being very level lln fact. in the lowlands of the White Xiv er) came to be known as Oil Trough bottom, and is known by that name to this day. From the name given to the land the town received It's name, ana of which it is very proud, as the name IS an indication of the richness ot the soll.
 The soil of this locality is of an allu,, vial formation and IS very deep, and for S feet is impregnated with phos- phates from the bluffs of lower White River. By virtue of its position 1t has a never ending and constant source ot fertilizer that is unsurpassed for strength and richness. At s feet the water from White River flows through gravel bed, at once insuring an inexhaustlble supply. of unexcelled water and giving the soil beneath constant bath of fresh water and pure air, thus, in connection with the influence of the phosphates, explain ing why Oil Trough bottom has be- come famous as one of the best agrlcul- tural belts in Arkansas, or for that mat ter. in the United States.
 While the greatest part of the acreage of this section is planted in cotton, the soil will produce anything and every thing that can be grown in this climate. Corn yields from 75 to So bushels to the acre; wheat 40 to 45 bushels; oats 75 to 100 bushels; alfalfa from four to six

 It is only about one and one-half hours drive from Newport on the Iron Mountain Railroad to Oil Trough and less than an hours drive from Newark on the White River Branch Railroad It is drive that will pay any one to take for the scenic beauties alone, to say nothing of the magnificent crops of cot ton and alfalfa. A visitor to Newport should by all means make this drive to Oil Trough.

enjoyed splendid business from the start. There are about 2,ooo acres ot as good land as can be found in Oil Trough bottom backing this store by special ar engagements made with the planters who have charge of the land. In addition to 2 large and complete line of general merchandise this firm owns well equipped gin that turned out 1,ooo bales Of cotton last season and is prepared to do even larger business this season. It requires more than 50 planters, each
 with large force of men, to take care of the large acreage controlled by thls company. It is safe to say that this firm will do from $5o,ooo to $75,ooo worth of business per year. MT. Wasson, the manager, is a young business man, alive to the splendid opportunities of his com pany and alert to avail himself of the large business at hand, as result of the richness of the vast territory about him..
