That IL. steriOus Airsh.p.

The mysterious airship thaf has
made its app earance al many other
places was seen IN Green Forest
early Wednesday morning.
Many communities in different
parts Of Missouri and arkansas
have been wrought up by the APP
pearance of this wonderful phe-
nomina. AT no place except
Springfield, Mo has any commu-
nication been had with the un-
known passengers on this mysteri-
Gus vessel.
At 4:3O o'clock Wednesday morn
ing while looking from his window
Il. o. Roberts caught sight OF the
ship and for fully three minutes
watched its peculiar maneuverings.
He says when he first saw it, it
was sailing from a northeastern
direction, passing over the north
ern suburbs of our town while
nearly all its inhabitants were yet
wrapt in the arms OF Morpheas.
The description OF the ship as
given by Mr.. Roberts comedies
very much with the one given of
the ship that was sighted from the
Taney county park last Saturday.
From his best judgement the craft
was about 800 yards above tho
earth. He could hear no sound
save the gentle beating of its wings
as it quietly fitted passed the town.
The shape very much resemblei
that of row boat with large
spreading wings instead of oals.
The size he judg ed to be that OF IL
passenger coach only wider. As
the vessel was being steered to a
westerly direction he noticed some
thing fall as though 1t must havo
come from the ship. 1t fell near
the sight of the proposed Metho-
dist college.
1t was plain, unaddresscd
envelopa, containing short note
written in a delicate hand which
reads as follows:
"ABoARD THE STRATUS,
April 81, 1897.
With pleasure we send greetings
to the people OF the beautiful little
city below. We will see you
again and learn more OF you and
you will learn more of cur
wonderful ship, the Stratus.
A PASSENGER.
Mr.. Roberts prizes this little
letter very highly and will sacred
ly keep ii as a souvenir.

Green Forest Gets the Normal.

County Examiner W. r. Phillips
informs us that the County Normal
will be held in Green Forest, COM
mencing Thursday, June 3, 1897
This, indeed, scores another
victory for Green Forest. To have
the teachers of Carroll county with
US one month is matter of no
little consequence.
We owe it to ourselves and to
the teachers Of the county to COM
mence now to prepare to make
their stay pleasant one.
The Normal this year will, no
doubt, be more largely attended
throughout the entire term than
during the Normals OF the two
previous years as the law now
makes it compulsory on each teach
er to attend.
1t is not known yet who the in
structors will be, but we are assured
that Superintendent Jordon will
give us the very best in the State.
AS is always the case, The
TRIBUNE is ready to champion
anything that will contribute to
the success of the Normal. Green
Forest must lead in everything of
progressive nature.
The Green Forest tribune., 1897-04-22

In last weeks issue of The
TRIBUNE w. r. Sneed & Co. stated
that we were cutting and diving
in prices. We would be glad they
could state matters as they are,
instead cf making false representa-
tions. They stated that we had
cut Arbuckle coffee to IL 1-2 cents.
1t is fact and can be established
that they were taking advantage
of the trade as usual by selling to
few specials at IL IL cents. We
believe in equal rights to all and
special favors to none. AS to be.
ing compared to Corbett that is all
to be done yet. By fair test we
will see who is Corbett and who
is Fitzsimmons. Respectfully,
A. BLAsINGAME.

The county court granted George
Galloway's petition for new road
as far as the corporation line.
We understand the town council
will be asked to extend the road
into the corporation by some
feasible route. We hope to see
the road established. The present
roads from that section of the
country are not al all satisfactory.
