which we had greatly improved in the meanwhile. For a year we have had mass regularly ever since and now that we are fnan- cially able to do so, we have de- cided to put up a neat little church, so that we can have ser vice every Sunday and also pro- vide room for the many natives interested in our church. Of course now, we shall not try to build a cathedral, but we intend to spend about $15O0.0O to make a fair beginning.
 In conclusion, my dear MT. Editor, allow us to extend to you and all our friends up there our most cordial greetings and best wishes.

 From Arkansas.
 Gourdneck, McCrory P. o. Ark.
 November 1, 1916. Dear Mir. Editor:
 As old citizens of Efingham county and steady subscribers to our old home paper, we often regret that no notice appears in your esteemed paper of our do- ings here in sunny Arkansas; and as we cannot blame anyone but ourselves for such a sad con- dition prevailing, we would kind ly request space in your valued publication, in order that we might, in a way, keep in touch with our friends and acquain- tances in the North. Do not fret, my dear MT. Editor, we shall not trouble you too often, but we cannot afford to continue unnoticed any longer.
 Of course, MT. Editor, we know that you have grown fast and solid to the soil of Illinois and as such you must be inclined to smile, when Arkansas suggests itself to your mind; Many people are inclined to do so; we our selves, we acknowledge to our sorrow, did so in the past, be- fore we knew better by personal experience.
 But Arkansas is, according to our present convictions, the very best state in the Union, especial yfor a man of little means who deslres to work himself up; and northern farmer, moving down nere will easily concede after a 1alr trial that he never had half chance to make good until he came to Arkansas.
 The climate here is wonderful, almost the same as that of the racine coast. I have never seen such a succession of fine and lovely days as we have here, ana although we have a taste of oao weather when the tail end of one ot your northern storms uruSneS over our pleasant fields, 'nese periods are very short and py Tar mllder than what you nave to contend with up there.
 when we moved down here we W were afraid, to a certain extent, mat we might lose our health ana succumb to an untimely ueatn; we had heard so many "u 'hings about Arkansas that
