A town that grows depends upon

A town that grows depends upon
its newspapers to advertise its So
cial, moral, educational and other
advantages and thereby attracts a
desirable class of people who are
constantly on the lookout to change
their location with the view Of bet
tering their condition. In some
towns, however, there are people
who expect the newspapers to do all
this, and never think of contribu-
ting anything in patronage or en-
couragement. They do not know
that the newspaper is the mirror in
which is reflected the character of
the town, and that its advertising
columns measure the volume Of its
business interests. They fail realize
that the business people who do not
advertise 60 out of business dead
broke or disgustcd; that the news
paper struggles along in half heart
ed way, and the town itself goes as
dead as last years mosquito.

The White River Country in Mis-
souri, and Arkansas.

1.-The future playground of the
Southwest is what the White River
country has been called. Very earn
est, and exhilarating play, much of
this sport is to those who are jaded
by familiar scenes of business life.
Nature is all alive in this wonder
full region-the rushing streams, wood
land sounds of breezes in the forest,
the whirr of wings where wild fowl
flock to the waters, the splash of
gamey fish tempting the angler, the
very cOlors of mountain and river,
showing nothing of dead, arid waste
of sand and stone.
''Semi-Alpine,n says an expert
enced traveller of the country, dotted
with growing towns nestled in the
valleys of the James and White Riv-
ers in southern Missouri and northern
Arkansas. One who has trudged
through the forests or tioated down
the river from Galena to BranSon,
and Cotter, will be sincere in calling
the Ozarks mountains. yet there is
no danger to life or limb in such 4
pilgrimage. The Ozone-laden air from.
oak, pine, cypress and cedar, the al
sence of mosquitoes in land of colo,
springfield streams, cool nights an
temperate days, make it delight tc
live and move in this favored cline.
There is always something to do.
whether of sport or of discovery, in
the way of minerals on land or pearls
i'm the stream. The casual openinf OF
a mussel shell on the lower White
River may bring to light a valuable
gem. The children use to collect
these pearls for playthings till their
value became known.
Few regions have charms of utiii-
tartan character as we'll as unrivaled
scenic beauty, aad favorable climatic
conditions. One going to the White
River Country to make money, finds
health and pleasure as well as wealth.
The worn-out unfortunate who takes
his small savings and here seeks to
prolong his days is benefited in mind
and body, and besides finds with new
life, means of securing a competence
and enjoyable surroundings; the
pleasure too, often tagged
out in the very pursuit of diversion,
sees in this enchanted land serious
possibilities for improving his pecuni-
airy welfare, and his whole system re-
ceives new invigoration and tone.
"A fairy tale" you say? No; it
is that truth which is stranger than
fiction, truth which shows one who
tries to tell it the poverty of all pow
ers of description. When the spell of
on the beholder he is silent There
is such thing as the pathos of the
perfect.
In the minds eye there passes in
review the succeeding inhabitants of
these valleys, and many generations
have left their traces-the mound
builder, the early discoveries from
Europe and the Indians How many
songs and legends have been chanted
by primitive peoples, to whom these
nature wonders spoke with mystic
force!
1t is not chimerical to believe that
the whole valley, now, newly opened
up to travel between Carthge, Mo.
and Newport, Ark, will in time be-
come a succession of charming resi-
dent and resort communities, with
great mineral and agricultural pros
perity. 9-29-3t.

TRAINS GO TOO FAST
AND MAKE MUCH NOISE

Brookland citizens assembled last
night in the town hall and held an in
dignation meeting.
Perhaps what started the discussion
was through train passing the hall
and emitting an unearthly Shrek. re-
mindlng them of sleep disturbed by
wristling trains.
The discussion led to criticism OF the
read for the way trains pass grade
crossings, at high rate of speed endan-
fiering life and limbs.
The citizens threaten to present the
matter TO the Commissioners.
