“ Mizzouri and Arkansan.”

The St. Louis Bejjublican says: “ The correct way to pronounce the name of this State is as though it were spelled Mizzouri, and that of its Southern neighbor as though it were spelled Arkansaw. Dictionaries and gazetteers often give other pronunciations, but these are the ones Avhich the people of the respective States generally follow.”
