The place to lay the foundation for
change in this state Of affairs is in
the school room; but in order to
make it effective, the school rooms of
the State must be presided over by
teachers who are not only educated
in the branches now taught, and
trained professionally for their work,
but who are also well yersed in the
elementary principles Of the science
Of agriculture.

Three days after, we received an
entire outfit of camp and garrison
equipage, except tents. The arms
were the old altered muskets. With
our new clothing the Eighth began
to assume quite martial appearance,
and the officers were becoming indie
fatigable in study and drill.
BY the Doth November the major
ity Of our measles stricken comrades
had become convalescent. About
this time the Colonel received orders
from General Thomas TO break up
camp and march 70 Lebanon. The
evening of the 9th November a
delegation Of loyal ladies from the
town Of Irvine aud vicinity assembled
on the long veranda of the principal
Springs building, one Of them bear
ing above her a large and beautiful
silk flag made by them expressly for
gift to the Eighth Kentucky. The
regiment formed dress parade, though
the officers uniforms were as varied
as the habiliments Of any thirty or
forty citizens usually are. The
proper salutation had to be made
with the hand as none Of us had
purchased swords or uniforms. We
closed column by division, when
Joseph Clark, Jr., made the presenta-
tion speech for the ladies', winding
up with the admonition to Garry

and quivering lips Of our brave
mountain boys responded. "Neverl"
"Neverl" then gave three cheers for

from its liver surpasses all other

The Theodore Maxfeld Bank
g. Trust Company, which filed an
amendment to its articles of in
corporation February 3rd, and by
which its name is changed from
the Theodore Maxfeld Company,
is now open for business, being
authorized under the law to
operate a bank and trust COM
pany.
This concern was founded by
Uriah Maxfield in 1866 and his
son, Theodore Maxfeld, sue
ceeded to the mercantile business
after his fathers death in 1868.
In the course of a few years the
business was changed into a
partnership known as Theodore
Maxfield and Bros, under which
style it was known until incor-
porated in 1903 as the Theodore
Maxfeld Company.
The concern has now been in
uninterrupted operation for Al
years, and has gradually in
creased from a most modest
beginning, with virtually no
capital, to a place among the
foremost and strongest financial
institutions in North Arkansas.
While incorporated with a
capital Of S100,0O0.0O at the time
of di5continuing the mercantile
business, it enjoyed a rating Of
from S125,000.00 to S200,000.00
with the most prominent mer-
camille agencies and was rated
with the highest grade credit.
The Company, during its many
years Of business in this section,
has accumulated an amount OF
experience in judging credits and
is so well known throughout all
