THE ARCADIA VALLEY.
Forty-First Anniversary Celebra-
ton of the Battle Of Pilot Knob.

From the Pennington News.
One of natures grotesque Won
ders and the giant among the
Ozarks, 1910 feet high and SS miles
from st. Louis on the Iron Noun
tain railroad, in the choicest part
of the beautiful Arcadia Valley, is
Pilot Knob-famed in history and
long remembered in the mining
annals as containing the most re-
markable deposit of iron ore in the
world. The town of Pilot Knob,
nesting at the foot of the silent
old peak, from which it gets it's
name, and ten thousand acres of
valley land adjacent have passed
from the hands of the mining
company, which has retarded it's
progress SO long. All this mag
nifcent property is controlled by
local people who will sell it all at
the most popular prices-good lots
at $50 and land for $40 and S12 an
acre
The Pilot Knob Memorial Assoc
citation is making elaborate ar
rangements for the greatest re-
union of the Blue and the Gray
ever held in the State. The cele-
bration of the 41st anniversary OF
the battle of Pilot Knob will be
held three days, commencing on
September the 9th, during which
time the Arcadia Valley will be
thronged with thousands Of inter-
ested visitors. The programme
for the entertainment of the yisi-
tors has been carefully prepared
and the most interesting feature
will be the auction sale Of town

THE following clipping from an
English newspaper is mighty sug-
gestive. | find it republished in
MarapeWs Talismen, being sent to
that paper by a subscriber. He
adds to the item this comment:
'sIf you will investigate you will
find wherever one of these foreign
land holdings prevail that it casts
a blight over the locality which is
anything but American in its
tendencies. There is a large Eng
lish holding in Illinois, near De-
catur. The tenants live in shanties
and are all foreigners" Here is
the clipping:
Foreign landlordism is reaching
out its tentacles in the direction OF
America. A syndicate headed by
the Earl of Verulem and the Earl
of Lankerville owns a vast tract OF
land in Wisconsin. Alexander
Grant of London owns $4,000 acres
in Kansas. The English Land Co.
owns $4,000 acres in Arkansas.
Mr.. Elfenhauser of Halifax has
800, 600 acres in West Virginia. A
Scotch concern, syndicate No. l,
bought $4,000 acres in FLORIDA. The
Holland syndicate owns 100000 o
acres of grazing lands in the West,
and the German syndicate 2,0oO,-
600. 1t is said that 100000 900 acres
of good American land are owned
by foreign landlords English and
SCOTCH. That is an area larger
than the State of South Carolina.

ACCORDING to the reports OF a
sermon delivered by Rev. DR.. Pal
more of st. Louis a few weeks ago,
he cast a slur upon the good fame
of some 5000 German ladies.
Their offence had consisted in
signing an address to the Governor
protesting against the onness OF
ssthe lid" The ladies are mem
bers of an organization, and,
through their officers, Immediately
called DR.. Palmer to account, de-
manding either a denial of the
language attributed to him, or, the
truth of the reports admitted, an
apology. He replied that he would
answer sat the proper time" That
proper time, as set by himself, did
not arrive until last Sunday. He
then said the papers had mis-
quoted him; that where he had
been quoted as using the word
squire" he had instead said $50
berthe term being applied to
ladies who had not signed the
aforesaid petition, in contradis-
tinction to those who had attached
their names to it. This being so,
the Rev. Dr., | think, should not
have delayed a month in his re-
Spouse. But, that aside, what OF
the big city papers-the P.-D., the
CD. and the Republic-that so
misquoted the reverend gentleman
and made him to say an ugly thing
where he had given tongue only
to-from his point of view-just
criticism in decent phrase? They
ought to be made to apologize
both to the minister and the ladies,
ought they not? DR.. Palmore
should see to it.

ARCADIA VALLEY.

VALLEY,
The valley, beginning at Pilot
Knob, gradually widens from a
few yards at the point to a dis
lance of several miles at the back.
1t is a land of contrasts, lights and
shadows; its heights and depths
make plain the meaning of the
word antithesis. Every mood Of
mind finds a corresponding mood
in nature. The mighty chasms
cut by Titan forces through granite
and iron-hearted hills in which
dark shadows throng and swirling
torrents dash, speak to the heart a
language that thrills, inspires and
awes. But it does not follow that
these glories of tree-covered peaks
and glooms of dark hollows pre-
clude the pleasant intervals, the
sunny meadows or the secluded
hooks where the mind may find
ease or the body rest from the tur-
MOL or toll. In this the early
autumn, as the sunlight rests on
the valley bordered by quaint
peaks, with purple flowers, the
singular quartz scintillating with
variegated c%olors, it seems to
sooth it's exhausted summer light
into a soft repose, which gives the
scene a mystic sadness, yet, it fills
the soul with the sweetest emo
tons and the lingering aversion to

ON the floor of the ring. and he got
up and pulled his pants down, that had
got up above his knees, and shook
himself. and took out his roll. and
peeled off a $50 bill and gave 1t to the
canvasman, and he shook hands with
them all, and said lie liked a joke as
well as anybody, and for them to
spend the money to have good time,

tent and took dinner with the crowd,

they all felt like they had trunks

poked the meat with his fork, and

his appetite, and everybody laughed.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"About two years ago was great sur

finally told me that had o tumor on the

growing. Fortunately corresponded with

advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

mors. I did SO and Immediately began to
improve In health, and was entirely cured,
the tumor disappearing entirely, without an
operation. I wish every suffering woman
would try this great preparation"

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Or. Williams Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive Organs.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating,
shortness of breath, feeling Of utter
weakness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eased organs.
The new tonic method Of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, docs not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
M the weakened organs, SO that they can
do the work that nature intended.
