THE OZARK HILL BILLY.

One disgusting thing to the News Herald is the practice of the town dudes" attempting to belittle the country boy. But, as in other cases, He laughs best who laughs last We have to study some time to find, occupying important stations in life, one of these wouId-be humorists of the 'peggiesta pants, cigarettes and Sissyboy proclivities, of the sort that seldom find anything to do but eat off the "Old Man, and attempt 10 look wise. The following contri- button written by Rev VA. Brewer, Springfield, Mo. covers the case
 "on the train the other day We heard a young chap, wearing gold trimmed eye glasses allude in sneer. ing tones to the Ozark hill =bilHes'-
 Looking at him in mild and med itatiye mood, We sized him up as fool without sense enough know that he was fool. Ne supposed by the term hill billy he meant country people and the denizens of villages Now lets hustle for fact
 The probabilities are that the ma jority of the students in our magni- ficent Normal schools and splendid business colleges are erstwhiIe hill billies. IL may be also that the ma jority of divines filling our city pull pits and the men pleading the law practicine medicine. editing papers and conducting business. were once barefooted hill billy boys Out of the hills come legislators, judge, orators and authors, also merchant princes Some how there is iron In the blood and gray matter in the brain of the primitive young hill billies \ butterfly is real pretty, but horse is more useful in going somewhere and pulling some thing. A gold headed cane is very ornamental but not much force in tunnelling a mountain Dancing the tango does not prepare man for high and mighty achievements If it were not for the constant infusion of hill billy blood into the arteries of our rottening cities they WoulS quickly become a fostering corpse. And so l gazed in meditative mood upon the city dude with the gold rim med eye glasses ''-Grayette News

We often hear local business men say they have no use for the count ry correspondence and never read it. It is very shcrt-sighted boast. When a big concern like the Bell telephone company can afford to hire men to read over the country correspondence in all their territory for hints as to crop conditions. local troubles, etc, one can see where the local man can use his time in such reading to great profit. 4 day or two ago Manager Johnson of the local telephone company. received an inquiry from the St Louis office with regard to a little item by Rogers Democrat correspondent.
