The Green Forest tribune., 1893-09-14
1t is not often that we without

dUOut u CoulciilpoIdA UuI WHeH We
see a newspaper furnishing its read
ers as newsy and readable a sheet
as does The Green Forest TRIBUNE
we teel like saying an encouraging
word to it's editor. Every editor
likes to know that his efforts to
print Fl first-class paper are appre-
ciated, and kind words cost nothing
when deserved. We feel sure that
Bro. Russcll's paper is appreciated
by its readers, and we feel equally
certain that not more than one-lenth
of his subscribers have ever said as
much to him. He has built up and
publishes paper that towns of
much greater pretensions than
Green Forest might we'll be proud
of. It is an honor to the town and
county in which it is published. We
know that there are not many bus
mess houses in Green Forest but
everyone there ought to advertise
in The TRIBUNE, not only because
it pays to advertise, but because it
is their duty to help an enterprise
that is worth as much to them as it
is. No town though patronizes its
newspaper as it should. Eureka
Springs Tlmes-Echo.
The saying is a true one that "the
man who wants your trade asks for
it," Gaze through the columns of
The TRIBUNE and see how many
Green Forest merchants want your
t,ade. 1t doesn't. seem possible
that so many can be blind to their
own best interests. The merchant
who seeks your trade is certain to
treat you better than the one who
does not. By all means, trade with
those who advertise, then compare
prices and goods with those of tho
close merchant who allows shelf
worn goods to accumulate rather
than spend a few dollars in adver-
tising, If our home merchants take
no interest in home enterprises it is
high timo for our citizens to look
toward better bargains.
Lee Tabor of Long Creek town
ship brought to our office last Fri.
day and added to our agriculture
display two Of the greatest curiosi-
ties in the shape of corn we have
yet seen. One of them is thirteen
small ears of corn fastened to the
same stem and covered by the same
husk, while the other is a very we'll
developed ear grown on the tip OF
the stalk in place of the tassel. The
same stalk that bore the latter had
an ear on it besides this one. This
is no fish story. These productions
are now on exhibition in our Office,
free, and you are cordially invited
to call and see them whether you
believe this statement or not.
Sheriff D. A. Eoff, OF Boone coun-
ty, passed through town Monday
on his way to the Indian Territory
on business. He will return by
the way of Fayetteville and will
again take charge of the robbers OF
Thornton's store, and bring them
back to Boone county. They have
about recovered from the wounds
they received in thoir capture.
For the heroic deed of making pris-
oners of these outlaws, Sheriff Eoff
deserves much credit.
The wife of James Thorn, two
miles south OF town, accidently tell
down last Thursday breaking one
of her arms just above the elbow.
This is indeed sad misfortune for
Mrs. Thorn as she is quite aged and
had not yet recovered from the ef-
fects of a broken shoulder; and for
long while she has been compell-
ed to get about on crutches as re-
suit of paralysis. Her feeble con-
ditlon was the cause of both acci-
dents.
Work is going on with busy
hum on Hyson's brickyard. He
commenced moulding Monday and
there may now bo seen several
thousand fine brick on his yard
ready for burning as a result of on
lv three days run. The dirt he has
selected works to perfection. His
first kiln he will contain about co.
