Can address delivered by j. O.
Wasson OF Mobley before the
Literary Society at the Camp
Ground, in Scott township, on
Oct. 10, 1908.
Mr.. President, Ladies n d
Gentlemen:
In recent times there has been
much said of Arkansas, and, il
there is one name that | love
more than another with bound
less reverence, it is Arkansas.
Some of my friends have accused
me of too much sectional pride,
because sometimes in my fugitive
writings have took the liberty
to sing the praises of Wild Cat
Corner. But tonight | have
leaped the boundary lines Of Wild
Cat Corner and come to this
"hind leg corner" where you
can find a Miiligan on every
quarter section Of land, to tell
you what | think of Arkansas.
On March 2, 1919, Congress
created the territory of Arkansas
out of that of Missouri, and there
at once began a migration into
her borders of men Of brains and
energy. These men came chief
| ly from the Carolinas, Tennessee
and Georgia. They conquered
the wilderness then lying west Of
the Mississippi and turned it into
a veritible garden. The story Of
Arkansas is indeed u romance.
Every lover Of literature knows
something of Albert Pike, for
through his poetry he reached all
hearts, lie belonged to The East
by blood and birth, but it was
the birds, the brooks, the flowers,
the golden cline of old Arkansas
that made Albert Pike famous.
Arkansas orators have been as
eloquent as I.oonidas or Cicero.
There were Caesars among the
statesmen whose profound wis
dom shaped the destinies Of the
state in her infancy. The pio-
neer preacher figured largely in
the work Of building up the
country. Turn to the deciples Of
Blackstone and Kent and what
state ever exoelled US there.
Garland and Clarke, ! believe
have been our greatest lawyers.
Let US see how Arkansas
figures in the agricultural and
commercial world. Along the
banks Of the murky Arkansas,
t h o mighty Mississippi, t h g
beautiful Black, and tho winding
White, hundreds Of broad acres
Of fields stretch away into the
green fringes'of willows and cot
tonwoods that mark tho domain
Of King Cotton. In Egypt hund-
reds OF years ago the pyramids
looked down on fields Of cotton
blooming IN tho valley of the
Nile. Tonight the stars look
down on the snowy blossoms Of q
thousand fields in tho Arkansas
valley where cotton produces
more to the acre than any other
land beneath the sun.

undiscovered in the sands Of the

working in perfect harmony" and
with mapped and slated program
going forward in the slickest, incest
kind of way. But their efforts
were largely in vain. Some of the
opponents to the big fve's' pro-
gram wouldn't give in and be good
and many wordy war, many a bit
ter denunciation, many a singing
rebuke was administered
Last night at various places eau
cuses and conferences were held.
Some of these did not end until near

LOST ON
GRAND MESA

Miss Eva knOuSe of Beatrice,
Neb., and Miss Jessie Horning of
Paonia, who have been the
guests of MIR. ard Mrs. j. II.
Plasters at their summer cabin
on Grand Mesa, met with
thrilling experience on Thursday
night of last week which they
would not like to have repeated
says tOday's Delta Tribune.
The young ladies started out on
horseback for a jaunt to the top of
the hill. Miss Horning is an expert
at climbing hills, therefore they did
not see the necessity of a gentleman
escort. They rode on and on in
girlish glee enjoying the enchanting
beauty of the rocks and the magnif-
icent valleys stretched out before
them to the east and to the west like
huge carpets of richest hue. They
crossed 8 low marshy swamp and on
over a mesa, up another peak and so
on until the approach of evening
They finally decided to return to
camp. but in wandering around the
cliffs they lost their bearing. Soon
night overlook them and they began
to realize that they were farther
away from camp than they at first
anticipated going they were lost.
They had no wraps with them and
soon the night air chilled them
through. 1t was too dark to travel
over unknown trails so they conclud-
ed to camp for the night.
\ searching party was instituted
and started out from camp to look
for them when night came and they
had not put in their appearance. The
searchers occasionally fired a gun so
that he Young ladies' could hear it. if
any place near by. Finally they
heard a gunshot and the shout that
went up from the throats of the lost
ones rent the air and was heard. IL
was midnight, when the girls were
found almost perished with cold.
for it was frosty night. They were
safely returned to camp none the
worse for their exciting experience
except the chill and fright as a re-
suit of their half night of camping
on the bare rocks.
