some very fine legal hair-splitting done, but

wrong side OF 1880, which is only an in
crease OF $29 since August /. This indicates
that the increase is not so bad as it was

that at the coming meeting of the board
there will be some radical changes made

in the past year. Their total earnings foot
up SAL ,539, ,S34, an increase of over $1,000 900
as compared with the previous year. The

greatest improvements. Some representa-
tive lines show the following percentages of

4 Visit to Green Forest.

We clip the following from a
letter written by B. G. Andrews to
the Harrison Republican:
Having previously received an
invitation from the W. NJ. of the
Green Forest Lodge, No. 404, to
be present on Saturday, Feb. 22,
to assist in celebrating the anivers-
ary Of George Washington, We
accepted the invitation, and just as
the sun was setting in the west at
close of the day, we arrived at
Green Forest. By 10 o'clock
Saturday morning pedestrians
were seen vending their way
toward the Masonic Hall, bearing
boxes and baskets closely covered,
but we surmised their contents.
These we're borne up two flights OF
winding stars to tho third story OF
the school building, and were COM
PEELED to wait future development.
About 1l:30 we were called to
assemble in the "Middle Chamber"
or second story, to witness the
rendering of we'll arranged
program, which was intersperced
with most excellent music by the
Green Forest Band, which we'll
deserves to be encouraged by the
town.
We were then invited TO ascend
the stairs to the Lodge Hall, and
there We were convinced that we
were not mistaken in our surmis-
ing as to the contents OF those
boxes and baske cts, for there we
| beheld two tables extending the
entire length Of the hail, laden
with good things to eat. was
| honorod with seat at the table
by the side Of Methodist preach
er, aud ii goes without saying that
we did ample justice to the occa-
sion, for we tried to obey the old
motto "eat what is SET before you,
and / think that any one observ-
ing US just at this time would have
! been forced to the conclusion thas
i Masons as we'll as Methodist preach
ers, were not greatly slandefed
by the charge of being q little IN,
clined towards the eating OF "Yel-
low legged chickens After all
had eaten, and were filled, there
were twelve (more or less) baskets
full, not OF fragments" but OF the
supcrabundance that remained over
for want OF people to eat it. For
/ this was clear case of cover pro-
duction," as the supply was much
greater than the demand, which
tesiifes to the big hear tedness and
liberality Of the people OF Green

Forest. Every one who partook
of these good things to eat is
forced to the conclusion that the
culinary skill and ability of the
ladies of Green Forest cannot be
surpassed.
At night we met with the lodge
and assisted the brethren in con-
ferring the E. A. and NJ. M. de-
grees.
The mex, day as we wonded our
way homeward, all alone, musing
on the near past event, we conl d
find within our hearts nothing
bitterly opposed the the frequent
occurance of such occasions.
