OF mar them. CQau&e' may come to the phenomena of face and form and feature, and the snows of many winters may finger, between seasons, on their heads; but their hearts are young and buoyant as they were in the days of wondering adoles- cence.
 One such is Col. Tom w. Neal, of Dyersburg, who, as is his custom, attended the great Methodist conference held in Memphis recently, and who has been attending the Mantell en- gagement at the Lyceum thea ter. To him these great plays, greatly presented, were a source of rare enjoyment, they have, been for many years, be- cause he is still impressionable wax to receive and marble to retain" :" His boys heart reveled in the art of them, and his ma ture judgment found undimin- ished pleasure in their ripened truths. The summit of wisdom is reached when one learns to meet Time without paying tri- bute to him.
 And Col. Tom is lucky beyond the usual experience of ,nortals. The other day a passenger fell from train up the road and plunged into a stream. He was rescued and it was found that his brooches legs were filled with fish.
 Col. Tom plunged into jour- nalism for half a century, and when he was fished out he was found to have money enough to establish a bank.
 His greatest and most prized asset, however, is the unmiti- gated love and unlessened num- bers of his friends and admir- ers.-Memphis News-Scimitar.

Evangelist Burke's theme last evening was Goat Society" and his text was found in Isiaah 56:6: "All we like sheep have turned everyone to his own way ;; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of all."
 Sam Jones, the first time he went to speak at Tyler, Texas, walked opt on the stage and said "you have heard of Sam Jones. He is now before you. I will give you 2 minutes to look at him; time is going, time is gone; now I will give you 2 minutes to look at yourself. Time is going.' At this time a man said Sam this is enough for me. I looked at myself and I am the biggest scoundrel in Texas. l will accept Christ as my Saviour just now.'
 There have been more com ment about me since coming to Newport about a man that has been so low in sin, but now is preaching the gospel.
 A lady had two handkerchiefs and one was very dirty and the other slightly soiled. She wash ed them in the same soap and water and then she could tell no difference in them.
 Thanks be unto God. By His stripes we are healed. Jesus blood can wash us clean. Many black goats get into the church and lead many astray. Some of you parents, the way you talk before your children, they have lost confidence in you, and many will be lost because of it.
 Business man, when do you expect to accept Christ and quit using your influence to destroy souls?
 Everybody in this tent is in sheep or goat company. The black sheep in the church that follow after the goats and lead others into goat society. A great many people came into the church that never was anything else but a goat.
 If you expect your children to be decent keep them out of goat society. If you want to find filth and degradation go to the pool halls. Here you find cuss- CTS, gamblers, whiskey peddlers, and slang in use. Here you find

The White River Dam.

The dam across White river to be built for the Ozark Light and Power Co.,, and to be known as the Ozark Dam" is located 8 miles northeast of Branson on the road to Forsyth and three miles this side of Forsyth. It is 16 miles by the River to the dam site.
 The Amburson Hydraulic Con- struction Co.,, of Boston has the contract and the work will be done by the White River Con- struction Co.,, of Boston with headquarters at Branson and Forsyth. The dam will be 1,2OO feet long and 40 feet above bed rock. It will furnish a mini mum of 5000 horse power and up to 15,OO0.
 Two tug boats and14 barges and one dispatch boat are near ly completed or else launched in the river here and being loaded with machinery for the con struction work.
 The right to build it was granted by congress and all dam ages for overflow of land is be- ing settled rapidly or will go to the U. s. Court for appraise- ment. It will make the White river from Branson to the dam the largest lake of water in South Missouri. The effect of this lake on making the land close to the river on the north side and all land south of the river free from late frosts in the spring will be of incalculable yalus to this section of Missouri

YOOI udAl.
 The church in this town has become unpopular and the peo- pie indifferent. Pray God to arouse you and fill you with love. Make sin unpopular in this town and let the church no longer be a byword.
 Young men you will never have a better time to show that there is something in you than now. You can't shame a goat, but you can shame gentleman. A goat has no pride. He wants to remain and eat that which, a sheep can't live on. Just as soon as a man gets close to God he will quit gambling, drinking and dancing.
 If you say you are not corrupt, then quit the corrupt society and use your influence for the Saviour.
 It is time for you backsliders to line up with the church, the way you are now you have lost your testimony.
 If you want tokill dancing and gambling society, live above it. People know your lives and many have put themselves on the level with the tin horn gal11- blers.
 There are people here that are planning for Heaven, while oth- CTS are planning for hell. Why do you refuse the call of God? Because you love sin better than God. The shepherd calls you. He will take everything away from you except your will-pow- CT. 4
 Boys, listen. You are leading somebody astray. Some day a soul will go laundering to hell and you the cause of it. i.
 Leave the goat society and come to Christ and be somebody and let your influence count for the most.
 Meeting tonight at 7:30.

Decoration Day.

Decoration Day came lin yes
terday, dark and gloomy, the
sky overcast with heavy clouds,
and every thing indicating a
wet and disagreeable day.
The old soldiers, however, who
had faced rain and storm, heat
and cold during the dark days
OF the civil war, did not fear to
face the present conditions, to
honor the memory of their slee-
ping comrades in Rose Hill and
Mt. Carmel Cemeteries.
The members of the u. A. r.
and w. r. c., attended in large
numbers, and were conveyed to
the Cemetery in automobiles
and carriages, and school child
rem and citizens in large num-
bsrs following, and on arriving
at the grounds, the usual cere-
mony on such occasions were
held. Every soldiers grave was
marked by an American flag,
andbeautiful flowers wereplaced
on each, and those who had any
loved one resting in that sacred
ground were also decorated.
Prayer was offered and song
by the choir, and a very appro-
pirate address by G. w. Kellogg.
The Cemetery grounds never
looked more beautiful covered
with a mantle of green, and gay
with faggs ond flowers.
At the conclusion of the GER
emonies at the Cemetery, the
large crowd returned to the
city and were dismissed. AS an
idea of the number of children
in attendance, F. w. Myers, as
Committee on flaggs, furnished
over 200.
AT 2:2O p. m, the old soldiers
and the w. R. C's, at the sound
or the bugle, by Comrade Jacob
Byers, marched to the Opera
House, followed by a large mum.

Dr.. G w. Colt, Chairman, then
delivered, an able and in his
usual manner, interesting adj
dress, the Choir sang several
patriotic songs, to the delight
of the audience, and then, Rev.
Curtis, Of the M. 3 Church, de-
'ivered the closing address of
the day. Then the notes Of the
bugle,by Comrade Byers, called
up the audience and Rev. Cross,
of the Presbyterian Church,
dismissed the meeng in a short
prayer, and Memorial Day, in
this city, was numbered with
the past.
To us,although pleasantly sea-
ted, yet too far from the speak
ers to hear distinctly, as all
speakers, except Rev. Curtis,

Family Reunion.

Oa Tuesday, at the pleasant
home of A. S. Jones on 3rd ST.,
occurred a very pleasant FAINT
ly reunion. AS the children of
a homs reach manhood and
womanhood and go to homes of

lance from their parents. The
sorrow and pain of the parents
by the separation is much alli-
waited by the home coming Of

the s ,odness and mercy of an

Sunday Night at the

Union services were held at
the Presbyterian church last
evening and one of the largest
crowds iii the history of the
church was there. 1t was nee
essary to cary in many extra
chairs to accommodate the PEG.
pie. The morning and evening
choirs sang several hymns and
Marcus Bramon sang a solo.
The sermon, preached by Rev
is. X. Cross was to the gradual
ing class of 1911. He told
them some very interesting
things which would come into
their lives and during the
course of his talk he made two
divisions: What they should
do" and "what they should not
do" Under the head of what
not to do, he. said, "don't be
selfish, don't worry nor take
defeat" The other things
they should do, were, "wolk
and time and home duty"
The church was very prettily
decorated in yellow and white
bunting and mock orange bios
