Editor Jones, of the Yellville
Echo Sees Harrison.
GYellyille Echol

Harrison ison a boom, or rather
it is on solid ground and advancing,
1t has miles of cement sidewalks
built by her progressive town coun.
ell. 1t has not done as Yellville has
done, taxed its people without ma
terially benehtting them, but it has
from year to year given the people
something to show for their money.
The cement sidewalks cost 10
cents per square foot, Therefore
100 feet of sidewalk, 3 feet wide,
only costs $50. And 1000 feet can
be built for $500 In ten years this
would build 10000 feet of sidewalk
or about two miles of it. With the
tax our people in Yellville pay, we
ought to be able to lay hrst-class
concrete sidewalk from the court
house square to the school house
this year, The question is will 1t
be done? Or will the money be used
in building protecting walls to pri-
vate property?
Two new brick buildings are GO
ing up on the west side OF the
square We understood that this
work is being done by less Downum,
formerly of Yellville. We met Mr..
Page, one Of the builders in Yellvllle,
when Yellville was moving forward,
We also saw Mr. Johnson, who
built our present school house and
the brick church building, Both
these spcndid old men are yet hale
and hearty and both hard at work,
We visited Bro, Womack's family
and found them all well, We also
found that Bro, Womack is loved by
all the people Of Harrison,
We passed by the residence OF Miss
Bessie Harris, who also has a po-
sition in the public schools but did
not see her or any Of the other child
rem Miss Bessie, it will be remem-
bcred is a daughter Of Whitfield
Harris, once a prominent citizen OF
YeIlville Losing both her father
and mother, Miss Bessie took charge
of the children, and has done a
good part by them. She is very
popular in Harrison, and has been
in the public school there
for years
We found Roy Milum growing
rich in the mercantile business, We
found Alex Walters also doing well
in the mercantile business, ably as
sisted by his daughter Miss 'irglc,

CREATES STIR.
Rev. Li'ley, Local Pastor, Makes a
Stirring Address in Ares on
the Education Of
Ministers.
CUT OUT THEOLOGY
The Country Minister Should be Edu.
Gated on Agriculture, Said Rev.
Llliey to Other
Preachers.
CUT OUT THEOLOGY

AMES, Iowa, July 1.-'Cut out
theology when you educate a preacher
for the country and small town church
and give him agriculture instead" de-
clared the Rev. R. w Lilley Of Keo-
kuk, chairman OF the country church
committee of the Iowa Christian con-
yention, in hi address to the rural
life conference at Iowa State College
His declaration caused an immediate
sensation amc- the preachers pres
ent, because it ,,is in conflict with all
tradition in ministerial training. At
once the air was full of questions and
opinions, some friendly, others hostile.
When the discussion ended, the
practical preachers present were not
SO far apart as they tirst thought they
were There was very general agree
ment that Mr.. Lilley was in the main
right and that in the training of a
preacher fer country work, some of
/ the training in strict theology, in
! Hebrew, exegesis and other seminary
subjects. might be set aside for educa-
ton in agriculture.
we need more ministers in our
country churches said Mr.. Lilley,
l''hut our theological seminaries are
not providing them, More preachers
are spoiled for country work by the
seminaries than are ever sent to the
country by them. We need to train
men especially for the country church
iif it is to thrive. We must develop
ministers who have practical agri-
cultural knowledge, who will see the
great opportunity there is in the rural
! field and who will have the spirit OF
service. We must have country
preachers who love the country and
who realize that a country pastcrate
A worth while for a whole life time.
THE trouble is that our theological
seminary graduates go to the small
town or country church only because
1 they feel they can't do any better
They go with ambitions to get away as
soon as they can to city pastorate
He fixes his eyes on Jerusalem instead
of the work around him and OF course
he can't succeed in the country.
"But the country church is paying
4 too small salary now, and 1t is sup
porting its churches too meagerly. The
farmer has part in remedying the
conditions and saving the rural church
as we'll as the preacher. He must
make 1t possible for the preacher to
live on par with the farmers to whom
he breaches"

Sometimes you may find 1t for the

ONCE THE HOME OF AUDUBON
aIist Died Is Now New
York Tenement.

In dismal hollow, at the foot Of
One Hundred and Fifty-eighth street,
New York, overlooking the Hudson. Ia
q great square house that looks as
If it ought to be haunted-and per.
haps 1t is. It was once magnificent.
Its lawns were perfect and its foun-
tains played in the sunlight. On
every side of 1t were other handsome
homes, and all the owners wera
friends of long standing. Now the
granite wall of Riverside drive almost
cuts into the roof of this fine old
mansion. Italian laborers live in 1t
and unkempt babies sprawl upon its
porches. A giant apartment house
towers over it and only the rays of
the western sun ever reach its
windows.
1t is the old home of John James
Audubon, the American naturalist,
which he purchased IN 1912 and lived
in for some years with his sons
Victor and John and their families.
He died there in 1851 and was buried
in Trinity cemetery, near the woods
that formed part Of his estate and
which we're later called Audubon
park For FIVE or six years Audubon
park has been but a memory, only
few dilapidated homes remaining in
a hollow hemmed in by modern
bureaus where people live in the
drawers"

"Then suppose every stamp hap
