ARKANSAS SURVEY BY
ROCK ISLAND.
Salem, Oct. 24.—The two corps of;
Rock Island surveyoi*s, who have been
engaged in locating a line from Belle,
Mo., to Newport since last May, met
in Salem today with the preliminary
survey complete. The town is quali
fying in true Arkansas style. The
line as located runs through the busi
ness center of the town, in fact, it
cuts the town through from north to
south, and runs south just west of
courthouse square. This road, if
built, will give us direct communica,
tion with Little Rock, Kansas City aiid
St. Louis. Already our farmers are
talking of the big orchards they ex
pect to plant in case the road is con
structed.
PLEASED LARGE HOUSE.
A comic opera with thirty five peo
ple is something a trifle out of the
prdinary run of events for Newport
and the announcement of a date by
the Otympia Opera Company created
quite a stir among local theater-goers.
A good house was present to see
and hear the rendition of the comic
opera “El Capitan” and right well was
it enjoyed by the audience, who gave
•expression to their appreciation and
admiration by vociferous applause.
Though their scenery is scant and the
costumes somewhat the worse for
wear and dirt and not so rich am
gorgeous as one usually sees in ai
opera, the performance as a whole i
deserving of compliment. The co
medians were funny and the singer
good; the principals were strong ii
their parts and well supported by ai
harmonious chorus of good voices.
Ed L. Weston had a voice of clea
and rich tone, that won favor with thi
house and made him the favorite.
Miss Lucile Devol, in the part o
Isabel Medigua’s daughter sang ver]
sweetly, and deserves special men
tion, though the whole company em
braced superior talent in well traine<
voices, pretty maids and giftet
comedians.
| MRS.,NEAL’S ADDRESS.
Greeting From Arkansas Federation
of Women’s Clubs to the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy By
President, Mrs. W. M.
Neal.
It gives me great pleasure to be
present at this convention and to be
the bearer of greetings from the Ar
kansas Federation of Women’s Clubs
to the representatives of Arkansas’s
Daughters of the Confederacy. On
our white, blue and gold banner is in
scribed, “Courtesy, Culture and Cour
age.” Following the lead of the first
of this trinity of ideals, we, three
thousand strong, pledged to high en
deavor in the intellectual, social,
scientific and philanthropic progress
of Arkansas, salute you and wish for
you fullest fruition of the high hopes
and exalted aims which animate you
as you go about your consecrated
work of revivifying a noble and illus
trious past.
Your work is not only to keep green
the graves of your heroes or to strew
them annually with flowers; to mem
orialize these loved and revered ones
in marble and bronze, or to aid in
seeing that the truth is told concern
ing them, but it is yours to hold up,
and keep alive the memory of their
valor and their virtues; their devotion
to principle; their moral courage in
xjuo uuui ui ucicai, nucu iooi^uauxuu}
their optimism, it may be, in dark
days; their heroism, shining more
brightly, if possible, in the courageous
resumption of the daily task and com
mon round than on the inspiring
battlefield,—that those who have
come after them may be inspired with
pure and lofty ideals, a desire to serve
their fellow men, and to exalt the
glorv of our state and country.
The new century which we are in,
will, we hope and belifeve, call for no
such sorrowful sacrifice to honor and
valor and principle as that which the
past one demanded. But it does call
for the same spirit of self-sacrifice,
devotion and courage in its men and
women, that true patriotism may be
examplified, good government up
held, and the happiness, edification
and welfare of the people secured.
It is well within the work of women,
indeed, it is their work, though not
theirs alone, to inculcate the ideals
and principles that make for a pure,
noble and enlightened citizenship.
The Daughters of the Confederacy,
as I have tried to suggest, are doing a
work that will be a potent influence
in the realization of this ideal. Be
lieve me, the work of the Arkansas
Federation of Women’s Clubs has the
same end in view. Does not this
thought bring the two organizations
closer together and make a fraternal
greeting from one to the other em
inently proper. And is it not right
and desirable that they and all other
state organizations having high aims
and noble purposes should be brought
into close sympathy and that they
should be mutually helpful? They
may coop mate in spirit and aim if not
in actual work and thus speed the day
of a noble/, purer, sweeter and more
beautiful Arkansas.
