' An Interesting Letter
' Springfield -Missouri August
22nd 1916 Friend Bishop: As
I have so many friends includ-
ing yourself at Cleo will write
for your paper a short letter or
two hoping to interest them
Wife two daughters Minnie and
- Alene and self are here spend-
ing some time visiting our daugh-
ter Elsie and her husband E E
''Reynolds who is a machinist and
who has resigned a good position
with the Frisco people and who
- has a position awaiting him at
Bridgeport Connecticut - The
- lure of higher wages and shorter
hours calls himraway and they
will shortly leave for the faraway
city by the sea
We are travelling in our Over-
land and intend to be in Kansas
City for the National Encamp-
' ment of the G A R
Now a word about Springfield
' She claims 45000 people make
their homes here and she sure is
a thing of beauty as she sits on
top of the Ozarks She has many
points of interest The first place
we visited was the National Cem-
etery where 1800 Federal and
300 Confederates are buried
What matters to them “the dis-
putes of the field and the forum
after life’s fitful fever they sleep
well” There is a stone wall
built around each cemetery but
an act of Congress allowed a
gateway to be cut in the wall
and all taken tare of by one
caretaker Great is our Govern-
ment General Lyon has a small
monument and one or two more
are on the Federal side while
the Daughters of the Confedera-
- cy have one on the Confederate
side Next we visited one of the
caves ate our supper near a large
spring A beautiful lake is part
of the scenery The grounds are
well laid out and beautiful
Sunday -we picnicked all day on
Sac river “A guide took us thru
a cave one-half mile in length
Overhead were wonderful form-
ations caused by the constant
dripping waters ' At one placer a
cold chilly wind comes oat of the
cave sufficiently strong to move
your hat- We ate our dinner on
tne bluff of the river aqd while
thus enjoying life I counted the
different varieties of timber and
think I never saw from one sit-
ting so great a variety Seven
teen different kinds could be seen
from where I sat There was
' ash hickory maple different
kinds of elm three different kinds
of oak two different kinds of
walnut locust sycamore cherry
mulberry red and black haw
and red bud all native
In my next will tell about my
trip to the Wilson Creek battle
field

1 - A cold does not get well of itself
The process of wearing out a cole
wears 'you out and your cough
becomes serious if neglected
Hacking coughs drain the energy
and sap the vitality For 47
years the happy combination of
soothing antiseptic balsams in
Dr King’s New Discovery has
healed coughs and relieved con
gestion - Young and old can
testify to the effectiveness of Dr
