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.

Le tate ” 4 Meditations on the Ozarks By Dr. J, Will Jackson, Great God, ai.d shall I ever understand, While hera on earth in mortal flesh I live, How Thou from nothing shapened with thy hand These fountains pure—didst potent waters give? Thy works, O God, sublime perfection shows; In beauty hast Thou wreathed these rock-ribbed hills; ‘Thou thy promise gilded with the rainbow, And dimples earth with rivulet and rills. These lasting piles of rugged, frowning hills— Dame Nature’s freaks of layish force and play— Are rife with healing for our human ill, And grandeur givee to all, both night and day. ‘These streams of water, warmed by nature's fire, Are quickened with the thrill of buoyant youth ‘The Red man fabled of their mystic powers, And science shows us that he told the truth, Wheo study I thy wondrous works so wrought, My soul in rapture dwells upon this theme; All nature whispers to mankind the thougbt, The life to come, like this, is not a dream.

At an early hour our streets became populated by the near by visitors ‘and at noon, when the excursions from various sections began to un Joad several streets became one dense mass of moving humanity, Thousands spent the afternoon at Liberty Park witnessing the Pyth- jan drilJ, and other amusements afforded, Order of a very commendable degree was maintained with ease, Our visitors were the bestfoundin the communities from whence they came, ‘The Fourth of August managements are greatful to the visitors for their presence and cheerfully wishes them a prosperous future, It isto be regretted thatsomeof ourlocal papers cannot refrain from speaking uncomplimentary of our public function, If they must speak of our short coming, may they not be liberal and fair minded enough to also speak of our virtueand worthiness. We grant without argument that some Negroes, like a per cent of other people, are bad. But, with great vehemence we alsu assert that some Negroes are as well asother people, are good, virtuous, patriotic and refined Give us what we deserve, good or bad, is all we desire.

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.
