The Green Forest tribune., 1897-08-26

Railway spent most OF the day
here Saturday. At the request of
the local committee, W. G. Russell
accompanied him as far as Keels
Greek as guide through the
country. Mr.. Hill Yves only TAX
ing the altitude of the country at
various points along the route.
What seemed to him to be the
most practicle route from here to
Keels Greek was through the
Jennings gap, crossing Usage at
the Turner, farm, running near the
Farmer school house, leaving
Berryville three miles to the
north. Mr.. Hill says it will take
from SO to 80 days to make the
final survey. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Clay, the president of the
proposed road, will submit pro-
position to Green Forest in the
near future. Our people will
watch the prospects of this road
with much interest.
Sheriff A. P. Naples was indict-
ed by the late grand jury on the
charge of misappropriating the
county revenue, which we are in
formed amounts to about $4,000.
Judge McDaniels suspended him
from The office of sheriff during the
pendanoy of the charge, which, we
understand, will come up for trial
at a special session of the court to
be held at Berryville, commencing
September 6. James Fancher of
Rule was appointed sheriff by the
court during the inability of Mr..
Naples. The matter is to be de-
plored very much. Aside from
the trouble 1t is giving Mr.. Naples,
the caunty will suffer great ex-
pense in holding an extra and,
perhaps, lengthy term of court to
investigate the charge. Mr..
Naples friends hope he will be
able to vindicate himself, and the
tax payers are anxious that the
county lose nothing.

A SURE sign of better times was
illustrated to us this morning by
R. E. Blair, the real estate man
and abstractor. He tells us that
thus far in the year 1897, fewe,
mortgages have been issued and
more mortgages paid off than in any
year previous in the history of the
county. This certainly shows a
very healthy condition of affairs
and speaks we'll for the improve
mont being made ina financial
way. There Is money to loan, but
very few applications for loans.-

1 Postmaster Grim has sent to the
department at Washington, a
monster petition asking that q
daily mail line be established
between this Office and the
Usage post Office. Such line
would be great advantage to
Green Forest and would give the
upper Osago country much better
mail service.
