| DELIGHTFUL OUTING TRIP.
Wonderful Scenery From Road to
 Mountain Top Farm

Dne of the most picturesque reaos leasiag out af Mena is that to RI 0sbogns Mountain Top Farm. about 2a miles northeast of town Last sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Y. w si John and Mr and Mrs C. B Nall and bai,y. made the drive The road passes out 0f town thru pait of Woodland Addition, crosses a picturesque wooden bridge over an equally picturesque guieh, and then the climb begins, and ii is a climb. soon a backward look shows the Icity almost as bird s-eye view. and as one turn after another is made ID the rise, the view expands unth inc valleys and mountains for miles and miles are brought into focus.
 And. too. there is. change m the atmosphere. F. seems more sweet more sitalning and all this was en- 5oye1 by the outing party te the fullest
 Near the top q chicken was fried, le0ilee was made and a picnic meal eaten with a relish, the horses, m the meantime. having good feed from convenient nose-bags
 A little later ihe balance of the trip to the comfortable Osborn home was made. and here Mrs. A. C. Trent and Mrs. Campbell. the latter here from Fort Scott Kas.. to visit her father and sister. served the visitors with delicious ice cream and cake. and MT. Osborn would take no denial. but insisted on a test of sew efal varieties Of watermelons and lcanialoupes. grown in abundance on the place.
 4 walk over the farm showed fine fruit, corn. melons, beans. etc. in the various stages of growth One nov eliy was a strawberry bed with blossoms and green berries, soon t0 produce a fall crop.
 There are two things that keep lthis trip from being wholly popular Jack Of knowledge of the beauties lit possesses. and the road The lat ] ter is not 50 very bad as mountain roads go but fl could be made prae- tical even for autos at no great eK- pense, and sometime when Mena has developed it's resort advantages l this will be done. The trip would exceed for picturesque beauty even that road up the mountain to the l famous Crescent hotel ali Eureka 1 Springs.
