PREDICTS MINERAL PROSPERITY.
Gov. John P. St. John Goes to Texas,
but Retains Warm Feeling
for Morgan County and
Her People.

Ex-(;ov. John 2. St. John, who has
had his real estate headquarters in
Versailles for several years past, will
depart next week with his estimable
wife for Brownsville, Texas, where he
will remain for a time at least, as that
country shows unusual development
on lines which the Governor is inter-
ested.
But few men have come to Ver-
sailles and mingled with her people
and operated in our industrial circles
with equal ability of that possessed by
Gov. St. John. He is not only one
of the best posted men on our differ
ent mineral resources that has ever
located here, but he is a brainy man
on all topics which occupy the minds
Of the foremost men of the country
and a brilliant character.
On leaving Versailles he does not
90 with a mallet in his hand or with
any "knocking" proclivi,ies in his
mind. On the other hand he asserts
his warm feelings toward our people
and made a prediction this week
which we hope to see matcrialize.
He said: morgan county has the
mineral resources which must soon
bring her to the front, and these re-
sources are becoming known and
will be developed. There are no
reasons why they should not. Years
ago Joplin was no farther advanced on
these lines than is Versailles today,
but Joplin had the facilities which are
just now coming to Morgan county.
What does this mean? 1t means
practically this, that Versailles will in
the no distant future become a second
Joplin. There are minerals and valu-
able beds OF clay here which Joplin
does not possess. Mineral men have
found this out, and there is nothing
that car stem the tide OF prosperity
now in store for your patient, honest.
1nassuming citizens. What they
must do is to prepare for this. Let
no industrial wave slip by without
securing some of the healthy draught
which stimulates your industrial
growth"
No man living will more gladly
hail this prosperity than Gov. St.
John and he made free to impress US
Morgan County democrat. (Versailles, Mo.) 1900-1906, 1906-06-15

with this fact. He further asserted
that whenever or wherever he could
say good favorable words for our
people, our city and our county, it
would give him great pleasure in do
ing SO in nc uncertain language as he
felt that he could not make the truth
of what knowledge he possessed too
strong in %picturing a grand future for
Versailles.
While We are sorry to see Gov. St.
John leaving for other fields, we be-
lieve we voice the sentiment Of our
entire community in saying that he
and his good wife leave a vacuum
where naught but the happiest social
feelings prevailed and a successful
business career that created no
enmity here, and their coming back to
help enjoy. this prosperity would be a
pleasure 20 allSh May they also pros
per in the great south.
