The Arcadia Valley Land Con-
gress was held at Ironton this
week, according to programme.
While a considerable part of it
was devoted to dairying, in which
the alluvial district is not much
interested, G. P. Hawkins and j.
B. Blakemore, of Kenneth, made a
good showing for Kenneth and
Dunklin county. They secured
and took with them some very
fine specimens of strawberries,
beans, cabbage, corn, cotton,
melon vines and other growing
plants, and tastefully displayed
them. They got there late, We'd
nesday morning, but their exhibits
attracted much attention and we're
easily the best things exhibited,
They distributed some literature
concerning this section and it was
eagerly read and preserved

Who knows who or what is the
Arcadia Valley Development
Company? The Murdock- Crumh
contract holders who we're here
last week said that the Arcadia
Valley Development Company
had promised all sorts of good
things to investors in the Murdoch.
Crumb lands. The offer made by
this Arcadia Valley Development
Company was: to agree to take
any of the land, clear it of timber,
plant it in fruit trees, and all the
remuneration wanted by the Ar
cadia Valley Development Com
pany was the timber and ont
crop of fruit. A magnificent anc
most liberal offer that. But thu
strangest part of it all is that wher
the Murdock- Crumb contrac'
holders were here last week they
could not locate the Arcadia VAL
ley Development Company, at all
Just couldn't find them. Why
so modest, gentlemen? Step for
ward and let the people see the
good men who r going to do So
much for the community.

previous compliance with hi
fathers instructions, inquired o
him what he was doing with al
the matches? The boy told he
"they we're for daddy" and sh'
went out to inquire about his ex'
travagance. "Michael," says she
"what are We doing with all tn,
matches? The porch looks like

The first week of the Aborl
English Grand Opera Company
stay at Delmar Garden, st. Louis
has proved a complete success,a ant
the advance sale for the remaining
two weeks presages a continuanc
of their prosperity. An extra hol
iday matinee next Monday, Ma,
Both, Decoration Day, will begi
their second week.
The first half of the comm
week will be occupied with fv
performances of Donizetti's "Luci
di Lammermoor.'
The second half of the secon'
week will be given to five pre-
sensations of Flotow's charmin
"Martha," an opera decided,
different from any of the others j
the Aborn schedule, being tech
nically known as an oper

lightest operas in the moderl
