ter. With a vision that included the
lessons of the past some of them
bitter, and that reached far into the
needs of the future and / doubt if any
of us have as yet 6nIly comprehended
their scope, he dreamed the dream
that has today grown into proper
tions of substance, vast beyond even
his imagination and stretching their
influences into the four quarters of
civilization.
So it seems singularly appropriate
that in the year wherein our deve1-
opment and our purpose have begun
to reveal their true greatness, speak
ing in vigorous language Of the foun-
dations already laid and prophesying
in resolute terms of the conquests yet
to be made, we should gather in the
state of our birth to debate the prob
lens of the present and devise the
policies of the future.
think, too, that the very vastness
of this imperial state, larger than the
kingdoms Of Europe, the ruggedness
and independence of its people spo-
ken in a way in which they became
part of America, and the amending
variety of its splendid resources, are
somehow symbolic of the vastness of
our organization, the rugged indepen-
dence Of our people and the many
large aims to the accomplishment Of
which we are committed.
If the past year has been productive
Of great results in the work that we
have marked out to our hands, you
must not lose sight of the fact that
these results have been only attained
through the fidelity and the never
resting zeal of the men you have cho-
sen to direct this organization. / de-
sire, in this connection, to express
my gratitude, in the warmest terms,
to the national officials with whom it
has been my pleasure to cooperate
in guiding the larger affairs of the
Union.

men of zeal, energy and the instinct
for self-sacrifce. At every juncture,

mess methods, that these vast indus
tries have succeeded in concentrating
vast fortunes.
He is seeing that his business, the
business of providing the crude ma
terial for this Matchmaking, has been
neglected. That the speculator, the
spinner and the consumer have been
content to let him raise all the cotton
that made the south the most inde-
pendent section Of the country dur
ing the recent stringency, and to
give him what they pleased for it.
He sees that, year after year, his
just earnings have been rifled by gam
blers thousand miles away, to whom
the word conscience had no meaning,
and to whom it was a matter Of In
difference whether the children of the
farmer had bread or stone; whether
he lived in a mortgaged hovel or in
a home to which the world-value of
MS labor entitled him.
He sees, too, that comprising seven
tenths Of the population of this coun-
try, he is possessed of only one-eighth
of its wealth.
Some of my more prejudiced friends
may ask: What else can you expect
in cut-throat age?''
/ say 1t is not a cut-throat age, any
more than the fifteenth century was
a cut-throat age. Kings, lords and
barons then held the producers of
wealth in bondage, demanding from
them the fruits of their toll and kindly
returning them just enough upon
which to eke out bare existence
that they might make more wealth
for their masters.
The difference is, and still is, that
the kings, lords and barons were or
ganized. and had force and the au-
thority of law on their side.
Education, the triumph of democ-
racy, has done away with these con
ditions. The man who produces the
food and clothing for the nation, and
the world. today is not in bondage to
the modern kings and barons and
lords of industry and finance-UN-

Of the old ways of concentrating

the teeming hordes of Europe and

wealth in the sweat of his brow; you
can never win the income to which
you are entitled, that you may prop

Hoagh & RedfieId Timber Sold.

The following is taken from the Little Rock correspondence in the Memphis Commercial Appeal and has reference to t.,e large track of hardwood timber along the Ouachi- ta river in Union, Ashley, Bradley, Calhoun and Ouachita counties:
 The American Timber Compa- ny, which filed articles here about three weeks ago, has turned out to be large institution, as was indi- cated by the amount of the capital stock, in spite of the small amount paid in. The Walsh brothers of Clinton, and other citizens in Iowa, the proprietors of four of the lead ing banks in that state, are behind the company, and they have now taken over the balance of the capi- tai stock.
 This company was organized for the purchase of 8O,OOO acres along Ouachita river, which is spread out over five counties of the state. The land was bought in 1877 under a foreclosure, by the Redfelds, of Danbury, Conn.,, who paid only a few cents per acre for it. They have held on until the agents of the Walsh company negotiated for it's purchase, paying a la-rge sum. The exact amount not being made public.

Shunoopavl Company.

The Library Board have made arrangements with the Rice Bu- reau to have the Shungopavi Com pany appear at the Union Church on Saturday evening, February l, to take the place of the Hawthorne Musical Club which could not ap- pear on their date owing to a wreck.
 This company is a much higher priced one and The News feels sure will give entire satisfaction.
 Shungopavi has had one season s experience in the Lyceum field. In that brief peroid he has made thousands of friends, who are eag- erly looking forward to this years announcement.
 Shungopavi entered upon his Lyceum career greatly handi- capped, realizing only at the last moment that his illustrations The Cremation of Shungopavi" and The Vanishing Indian,' which were built for the theatre stages, could not be transported for a single nights engagement. or used on the ordinary Lyceum stages. He has now become very consers- ant with the requirements of the Lyceum, and at great expense has rebuilt and offers for your con- sideration his Mammoth, Original ana Stratling Illusions, together with his Native Magic and his new story of Indian Life."
 Miss Kate Gordon Munch, Read CT Violinist, is one of the few who can do many things and do them all well. As a Reader, Miss Munch IS in a class by herself: her treatment of the dramatic and humorous sketches is decidedly original and refreshing; her pro- gram numbers new and often the works of her own pen. She is a graduate of our best schools and colleges of elocuton and dramatic art, and yet she is not what might be termed a made elocutionist, she has studied solely to perfect her natural gifts. Miss Munch is also a charming Violinist. She plays with a great depth of feeling and a delicate touch. She has studied
