The Green Forest tribune., 1897-06-17

resembling the Honorable William
Jennings Bryan in features visited
the town, and DR.. George, who
always knows a good thing when
he sees it, had the gentleman to
occupy one of his back rooms
while he went out and invited his
friends to the "Bryan Reception"
The halt and lame and everybody
else focked in from the highways
and hedges and took great pleas
ure in shaking hands with whom
they thought to be the late free
silver apostle. Our own DR.. Ray
was there and had the exquisite
pleasure of meeting Mr.. Bryan(D
We shall. epecta full history of the
reception" in this weeks issue of
the Gem as one of its editors, Mr..
Reid Goudelocl, was on deck with

the treat of his life to have the
! pleasure of meeting the distin-
SUiSnou gentleman.
Judge Worthington and THE
tribune editor made a trip to Ber-
ryville last Thursday. We will
not be surprised to hear that cer-
tain business men Of Berryville
have been having nights mares,
since they interpreted our visit
over there to be for the purpose OF
taking steps toward the removal OF
the county site from Berryville to
Green Forest. Gentleman, you
are altogether too visionary. OF
course it is only a matter of time
until the county site will be re.
moved to Green Forest, hut when
we again take steps to that end
you will not have to guess at wha.
we are doing.
The company that proposes to
build the railroad granted by the
State legislature has filed articles
of incorporation and will begin
work at once. The road will run
through Boone county, aud it is
thought by some that the road will
turn west from Harrison and con-
meet with the Eureka Springs rail
way, whilo others say it will
extend to Springfield, Mo. Ii
other event Green Forest is sure
of a road tor the Eureka Springs
road wonld be compelled to extend
in case the road did go to Spring
field.

B. G. Fisher of Kansas City was
here first of the week getting cards
from our business men for Di-
rectory cf Green Forest. Such
advertising speaks we'll of the
town, but it would speak better if
these same cards could be found in
the local paper. It does not have
the right kind of ring TO it to
patronize strangers to tho exclu-
sion of home.
