Peters, a farmer of Roar* viile, Indiana, has shown how the country folks can have a good road. It was propose*] to spend $25,000 a mile building a new lfi mile roadway. Mr. Pet * rs said he would improve the i.-ad and keep it ip g *>^ shape, fur what it would cost to pay in terest if the money was hi low ed. As a result the officials ga\ e up their cosily project, and made a deal with Mr. Peters to improve and maintain the road with grav - el. He did it the past year for let*s tlian$200a mile, while interest on the bonds would probably have been $1200 u mile. The road has been kept in excellent con dition. This suggests that more rare for maintenance, and the personal interest of resident tax* payers wool I often solve the road problem at small expense. -* • » — — Roast ten cents per pound Tennyson’s Meat Market.

Hot Springs, the “Carlsbad of America,’’ a city of fifteen thousand population, nest ling in a vallev with high moun tains on three sid'*s. The springs number about 75 and are of great medicinal properties, considered by many to be a panacea for all ills common to man. Hot Springs is unique, being in a class by itself, so different from all other places. It is a place of all nationalities, tine hotels, thea ters, jewelry and oriental stores ! and club rooms. Other places ttf interest the tourist or visitor is-a climb up West mountain and visit the Government Observatory j eight hundred feet higher than I Central ave., the principal street of the city. Other show places is the great race track, south of town, the ostrich farm, alligator hatchery, display of Hot Spring*^ | diamonds at Arlington Hotel and i » I t* UIL .a._ 11_»_ trir imr n muiu^nm i au\. The next resort in importance is Kureka Springs, located in the Ozarks of north Arkansas. But ! the most wonderful Spring is that of Mammoth Springs located in Craighead County. The spring covers one acre of ground and is very deep making an under ground river for some distance below its source Another natur al wonder is the Huff Spring lo cated in Marion County neai Yellville. This spring runs dry every twenty-four hours for only a few moment^ when the water comes gushing backagatn. Manv i scientists visit this place to wlt ; ness this strange phenomena. It I is thought the ocean tide in some ; manner causes the spring to go j dry. There is the famous springs at I Monte Neftwnedby W. II. Har • vev.

If Tuba is the gem of the ocean, jthenSiloam is the gem of the i Ozark*. A Poem Hy Jake White Mule. It was midnight on the ocean. Not a street car was in sight; The sun was shining brightly, f And it rained all day that night It was a summerjlay in winter, The rain was snowing fast; A barefoot girl with shoes on, Stood sittini^on the grass It was evening and the rising sun Was sitting in the west. The little fishes in the trees Were cuddled in their nests The rain was [muring down. The moon was shining bright: And everything that you could s*e Was hidden out of sight.

The older set of noting folks are studying the late of the Apo-tles, Miss Helen Frazier tells us about Si. Mark this week. ' Mark. The evangelist’.'*full name was John Mark. His m ther, Mary, was a friend of I’eter, and Peter probably converted Mark and hence calls him his “son.” Mark was a cousin to iiarnahasand per haps in this way came in contact with St. Paul who dismissed him for slackness. But nine or ten years later we find him a welcome.' companion erf St. Pauld during*hi first Roman captivity and a much desired fellow worker during his second. From all evidence, we conclude that he was preparing to write during Peter’s ‘lifetime, but did not complete and publish his gos pel until sometime after Peter’s marts idom. There is good nason for believ ing that most of the common ma terial found in Matthew, Mark and Luke is the preaching of St. Peter and that part of ('h id’s life of which Peter had personal (knowl edge. It is probable that Mark wrote his gospel in Rome for Gentiles aii'i pi 111 mi n > i'»i iv'MiimiD, The gospel of St. Mark has no special characteristics ivgards doc trine. The writer has little liter ary skill. His language is homely and sometimes ungramatical, but he h s a faithful memory. He not ces more than any other evan gelist the human emotions and gestures of Christ and it is from him that we learn that Jesus as well as Joseph was a carpenter. Mark expired at Alexandria after having been cruelly dragged through the streets of that city The fate of the other apostles will appear in this section. Cut them out and save them.
