Meet Your Friends at the Missouri State F AIR Sedalia, Mo. Aug. 21-26. SEDALIA, MISSOURI, SATURDAY AUG. 12, 1905 Hot Springs, Ark. AS SEEN BY A RECENT VISITOR. The Dear CONSERVATOR;—I thought that a few words from me, concerning things in this section of the world might interest some of your readers. Hot Springs is celebrated throughout the civilized world for the wonderful curative properties of its water. Possibly no other locality of similar reputation can be compared with it. It's locality is beautiful and health-inspiring. I am writing these lines on the mountain side, which gives me a view of the city and its surrounding, this is an entrance to behold. The top of the mountain, on the east side of the city is reached by circuitous driveways, as smooth as a floor, and well kept. About this time of day (4: p. m.), they are literally crowded with vehicles of overy description, and excursionists of young people on horses, mules and donkeys. All along the mountain slope, are comfortable seats pedestrains and at this time of the evening it is hard to find a vacant one. The rattle of carriage wheels and tramp of the horses, the laugh and romp of the gay crowds, and the playing of the bands of music gives to the place a continuous fustive appearance at this season of the year. But there are other sights which deeply moor the sympathies, as one sits and looks a round. Here are seen hundreds BIR CAFE AND RE Board by the day, week or mo Hot lunches served at all hou Meals prepared by one of PARTIES, BANQUETS AND Served on Sl CAFE AND RESTAURANT, PARTIES, BANQUETS AND PRIVATE DINNERS Served on Short Notice Our waiters are the politest to be found in the city.

This is a cosmopolitan population, and the Jeff Davis sentiment is but little in evi Hot springs has, I am told, a resilient population fo about 1000 inhabitant. An evening paper of yesterday stated that there were now over 10,000 visitors in the city. To the residents here the city now appears to be in a state of depopulation, compared with its crowded streets and over crowded hotels of two months ago. It is my information that at least 100, 000 were here between the months of November and May. They come from all parts of the civilized world. Possibly there is no other place, of similar reputatiog, on the face of the globe, so world-famed as Hot Spings. I must confess that I had not the shadow of a conception of its greatness, before coming within it's precincts. Here are 23 bath houses employing all colored attendants; hotels and boarding houses too numerous to attempt an enumeration the hotels alone employ over 12 hundred waiters the large majority of which are colored. These hotels and bath houses are Mammoth structures. The last census (1900) gave a totalpopulation of 3102. A happier or more contented community of my people can no where be found under Uncles Sam's flag. I have sought in vain to find the figures representatives of the wealth of the colored people in this community. There are more handsome and richly furnished homes owned by colored people than I have ever seen in any community, or town of this population either in the North or in the South. I could write special article on this topic alone. I have been entertained in these splendid homes of refinement and intellectual culture. I was in company yesterday with a gentleman of color, who showed me 6 beautiful modernly appointed cottages owned by him, and all of them rented white tenants at $30 a month, each. This is only one of many others similarly fortunate. Of this population there are 12 chuches, 2 schools, 8 well stocked groceries, 3 barber shops 4 hotels, one undertaking establishment, a weekly paper, "The Hot Springs Echo." "Hot Springs Real Estate and Mercantile Company," Contractors and builders, one Capital (Dr Sam Rye. ) Restaurants, ice cream parlors, coal and wood yards, butchers shops saloons, annual county fair association, Mutual Aid Insurance company and other pure race interprises. There are also 4 lawyers and 5 doctors of color. Dr. J. W, Curtis brother-in-law to our own quality esteemed and honored Dr. J. M. Harris of Sedalia, has a lucrative practice, and owns a handsome piece of property. The colored man is as truly free RD'S RESTAURANT, month. hours, day and night. of the best Chefs in the city. AND PRIVATE DINNERS Short Notice U for dinner tomorrow? and independent here, as regards to the exercise of civil liberties, as he is in Chicago. This is a cosmopolitan population, and the Jeff Davis sentiment is but little in evidence. The separats street car law an enactment of the legislature, of course, is practically disregarded by the people of both races In this community I do not realize that I am in the South. The sun is now setting behind a bank of golden clouds, and my thoughts just now are of loved ones far away and dearold Sedalia. The shadows of approaching evening are hoverins around me and I must ward my way down the mountain side to my home in the valley below. I wish my readers all a happy and peaceful rest this night.

The throng to this country tells us to move up and move in a hurry. I can see from behind the dark cloud we are to press foward and we will step out in the light of progress after while. With such financial leaders as our Supreme Head, and others who stand at the head of this grand movement; we are sure to reach the top most round.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF TO-DAY The opportunity for the man with little means is probadl$ ^ {\Delta}$ better today in the prairie states of the Southwest than ever before in the history of the nation. To be sure, there is not the vast open choice of land for the homesteads that existed in the '70s. The lands then taken up under Government laws are now prosperous farms and ranches. The opportunity today is in the investment chances; in the purchase of farm lands at older states. There is need of more hands to develop the country. In the Southwest-Oklahoma, Iudian Territory and Texas-are vast areas of unimproved land not vet producing the crops of which it is capable. Practically the same thing is true of the towns. NOTICE.
