Arcadia Valley.

tRev. Nelson B. Henry OF Fort Hill Church in
the Jackson Cash-Book.l
Of curse u Cape County friends
know that the episcopal decree at
last annual conference sent us to Ar
cadia. We have been very kindly re-
ceived, and SO far have found that we
have a delightful appointment. The
church stands on the site OF the old
fort built to guard the south end of
the valley during the Civil War. Fiji
ty years ago last fall, when Price made
his raid north through Missouri, he
surrounded the Union forces under
General Ewing at Pilot Knob and,
failing in his attempt to take the city
by storm that day, had his men spend
the night south of Fort Hill making
ladders with which to scale the forts
the next morning. AS will be remem-
bered, Ewing muf1ed his horses feet
and his wagon wheels and slipped out
of the trap that night, and was too far
away on the road to Rolla the next
morning to be overtaken by Prices
command. At Prices approach, Ew-
ing abandoned the Arcadia fort and
blew up the magazine on the top of
the hill. Some three feet below the
surface in the crater made by that ex-
plosion there now stand two "honey
locust'' trees about sixteen inches in
diameter. The crater is probably six
teen feet in diameter at the top and is
still about five feet deep.
This valley is just as lovely, it
seems to me, as it was when the trees
wore their green coronals, the flowers
nodded and smiled and threw frag-
rant kisses at the passer-by, and
Mother Earth spread before him her
carpet of green to soften his football
and lure him further on through her
labyrinth of ~witcheries. Now, from
the top of fort Hill, u~nhindered by the
summer foliage, n gets a full view
Of the beautiful Arcadia Valley, some
what resembling the Valley of Rasse-
las, but more charming, with ite
mountain ranges and peaks complete
ly en~circling it. and broken here and
there by passes through two of which
the Iron Mountain railroad winds It'll
way from north to south, and through
others of which the wagon roadt
makes their exit to the country, thai
the rural folk may have access to this
Valley and come under the spell Of iti
charms.
Not the least of.the attractions here
are the springs which bub.
BILE up through their gravelly beds ant
sparkle and laugh and dance away al
If, in their Troublesome glee, they
would lure the observer on to theil
destruction in Stout's Greek. The
most attractive one OF these SPRING
Is the .Bethesda," owned by LouiI
Miller, the man so famous in ths
southeast as q contractor as well as al
architect. The waters Of this spring
are said to have rare medical qualities

An Open Letter.

-
My Dear Mr.. Ake-Upon receipt of
my copy Of the REGISTER last week /
was ~agreeably surprised to see that
you had given two full columns on
the first page OF your paper to the re-
production of an article in tine st,
Louis Republic of January 10, on the
Home for Aged Baptists. l assure
you that this generous use of your
space is greatly appreciated by the
Management of the Home, and is tax
en- as an Indication of your estimate of
the worth of the Home and the work
it is doing. Without a CENTS cost to
the Home the REGISTER and the Re-
public have thus given it a larger
publicity, and so helped to enlarge its
usefulness.
We believe that as time goes by,
this community will appreciate more
and more the fact that the Home is
located here. We are small now, but
we are not going to remain SO. With
in five years we expect to have a
building that will accommodate two
hundred old people and the necessary
employees. With the Two hundred
thousand Baptists in Missouri backing
it, we think of even that as only the
beginning OF what we need and shall
have. Small provision has been made
for the care Of dependent, old people.
Every old peoples home in the land
is full to overlooking. In my files
have hundreds of letters asking for
admission to the Home from people
In this state alone. More than that,
since the Home was opened, less than
two years ago, l have applications
from ten other states, including Cali
fornia, Texas, Wisconsin and Mon.
tana.
have not said much to the readers
of the REGISTER about helping the
Home. 1t is here in their midst, and
they can see for themselves. The
more help we receive, the more old
people we "a care for, and the more
old people we take care of, the more
the Home is worth to the community
as a cold business proposition, for
there is not a single line of business
that is not benefited by the Home
OF course, we are taking it for grant.
ed that the people will from a mora
viewpoint be proud to have such ar
Institution grow up in their midst
and will delight in its enlarging work
Cordially Yours,
MILFORD RIGGS, Sup't.

HUNGARY Is Determined
ON PROSECUTION OF WAR

LONDON, April 27.-The following
dispatch dated Monday has been re-
ceived by the Reuter- Telegram Com
pany. from Budapest via Amsterdam:
speaking in the Hungarian diet on
the landsturn BILL Count Tisza. the
Hungarian premier, expressed his de-
termination to urge the prosecution of
the war with the utmost vigor. He
said that after strenuous efforts since
January, weeks spent in offensive and
defensive operations have proved the
strength and capacity Of the Austro-
German armies to be intact.
Count Tisza expressed his delight
because the Austrian opposition had
fulfilled it's duty to the fatherland.
THE war he said, was not one of as-
grandizement, but was for the mainte-
nance Of threatened independence and
the preservation of the European bal
ance.
Opposition speakers generally sup
ported the bill, but demanded that Its
provisions be limited to the present
war.
Count Andrassy. former premier.
maintained that the Austro- Germans
have demonstrated that they are
strongest. Their gains have been
greater than their losses, he said. but
gigantic efforts still are necessary in
Galicia, the bulwark of Hungary. and
the Dardanelles must be safeguarded
against an enormous fleet"

season. seems to have almost brought
the oyster season at this city to an
early close. There was not an oyster
vessel at the wharf yesterday after
noon. and although some few small
oyster craft are expected here at any
time the quantity they will bring will
be very small
Usually at this season canoes and
small fatties with CLAIMS aboard from
the eastern short Of Chesapeake bay
are coming here. but they have been
few and far between up to this time.
As far as known at the wharf all the
large vessels that brought oysters here
throughout the season have been laid
up for repairs preparatory to taking
up general freighting work on the
Potomac. While oysters may not be on
sale from vessels at the wharf the
oyster houses will have stocks on sale
through the summer. and those who
wish oysters will find no difficulty in
obtaining them.
