Coal And Timber Lands An
Index OF Prosperity.

Indications of continued prosperity
which are found in the South Atlantic
States are found in Missouri, Kansas
and Arkansas also, distinctly better
tone in all business lines in these
states being noticed. While the de-
mands for Kansas lands is not as
great as heretofore, the business is
still gratifying. Far-seeing stockmen
of the East and the North have con-
cluded that Missouri and Arkansas
have been much neglected. There
are thousands Of acres of hill lands
covered with sparse growth of hard
wood timber which affords pasturage
for multitudes of sheep, cattle and
mules. Many of these tracts are be-
ing fenced up, as they abound with
pure spring water they make fine
ranches, and, being located close to
Kansas City and St. Louis, are access
ible to market at all times. Missouri
is pre-eminently clay and mineral
bearing State in the Ozark region.
In the vicinity OF Versailles, Morgan
county, are to be found the best kind
OF fire clays. and there are also plas-
tic clays in abundance suitable for
pottery ware. To these resources
are added immense deposits of Can
mel and bitumnous coal, the facts
concerning which tax the credulity OF
the uniformed. There are deposits
of this coal actually 72 feet thick,
and deposits 40 and 80 feet thick are
common. Many tracts can be Sc
cured for development, and great
deal OF capital is now being turned in
that direction. Opportunities for
profitable investments are plentiful in
the States mentioned.
The general outlook all over the
South is good. With their resources
practically untouched and with good
results shown, what can we expect
when the Southern States come into
the heritage which is theirs for the
taking7

crcises, was at the suggestion Of the
editor of the REPUBLICAN,, and was
one of the most pleasing features Of
the entire program. Hereafter sug-
gestion will not be necessary in Ver-
sailles. The school children should be
part of every worthy and patriotic
demonstration, giving them object
lessons they will never forget.
The Versailles Juvenile Band, in
their bright uniforms and and military
step, added much to the pleasure Of
the march, and their fine music was
thoroughly appreciated. Our citizens
should certainly be proud of this
organization, and assist it in every
possible way.
A pleasant feature of the ceremony,
not down on the program, was the
spreading of trowel of mortar, prev
ious to the placing of the stone, by
Mrs. Martin, and one by John NJ.
Salmon, the only members of the
church remaining of the congregation
to which Bro. G. c. Woods preached
in the old court house before Ver-
sailles had church building.
DR.. Woods is very impressive
speaker, eloquent but plain, master
of the mysteries of freemasonary,
acquainted with many OF our older
citizens, and friend of our city and
county, and his experience of many
years was of great value to the breth-
rem in conducting the ceremonies,
and after the close he highly compli-
mented all who had taken part, and
pronounced it as one of the best
ceremonies he had ever participated
in, or witnessed.
Quite number of the Glensted
and Barnett brethren were present
and assisted in the good work.
The worshipful master, wardens and
brethren of Versailles Lodge, No. III,
A. F. & A. NJ, are surely deserving of
commentator for the large attend
ance of the members, and the excell-
ent work performed, considering that
they had only one weeks notice in
which to prepare for it. May they
always be as ready in every good
word and work.
All in all it was very pleasantly
spent afternoon, the weather was de-
lightful, the citizens of all denomina-
tons and no denomination showed
their interest by their presence and
respectful attention, the program
was carried out without a hitch, re-
hecting credit on the officers of Yer
sailles Lodge who had it in charge,
and it may be well called red letter
day for Versailles, for the NJ. +.
Church, and for the order of
Masonry, and betokens the breaking
OF a better day for our beautiful city.
So mote it be.
