TANEY COUNTY REPUBLICAN
Forsyth
BY w. H. PRICE.

EORSYTH, the county seat OF Tsney county,
is beautifully and centrally located at the
junction OF the sparkling waters of the Swan
with the swift and crystal current of beauti-
full White river. The site Is ideal, and the little,
well built and well painted city, fastened at the
meeting Of the waters like a gem at the throat Of
beauty, while the wooded ridges flank in every d.
recton the central figure, all form picture which
fingers long In the memory Of thu visitor-and he
usually comes back to refresh the picture.
The great Presbyterian church Is now building
here its college for southwestern Missouri and
northwestern Arkansas, making of Forsyth n
prominent college town. The fact that Forsyth
donated n forty y-acre site and over five thousand
dollars toward. the establishment OF this school
sufficiently indicates the attitude OF our people
toward the higher education. The fact that the
committee representing the church has acquired
an additional 100 acres Of and affords some clue
to the magnitude of the plans OF the church. II
Is purposed to spend $4,000 On this school plant.
School vii. open January ], 1907.
We have good graded school, n neat stone
chapcl open to all churches, a well supported un-
ion Sunday school, daily mails from all directions
in short more advantages than many q more
populous and wealthy community.
Well equipped mail aud hack lines, with head
quarters here, give daily connection with the
Frisco, at Chadwick, and the White River line
OF the Missouri Pacific, at Branson.
Most lines OF business are represented, includ-
ny general merchandise, drugs, millinery, hotels,
livery, lumber, meat market, Undertaking, print
Ing painting, milling, blacksmithing, carpentry,
etcetera. We have an able aud sufficiently nu.
merous corps OF lawyers, good physician, and
real estate men enough.
We need resident dentist. a furniture store, "A
hardware store, n woodworking factory TO utilize

For Merchants to Reflect On.

We wonder If our home merchants
ever stop to think why the mail order
houses are So successful. Their sue
cess lies in their continual advertising
of their goods. They never stop ad-
vertising because of changes of season
or for any other reason. The country
newspapers have been fighting these
mail order houses hard for years for
the benefit of the home merchant, and
some of the merchants appreciate this
and some of them do not. If the mail
order houses would pratice advertis-
ing by "spurts," in certain season of
the year, like some country merchants,
they would soon go out Of business,
While the local or home merchant
keeps his business "under a bushel, ~
so to speak, or out of the local paper
on account Of hot, dry or wet weather,
or bad roads, they are giving the mail
order houses the advantage of them
before the people, for those houses
never stop advertising for any kind of
weather or for dull times Huntsville
