viii Green Forest Celebrate z

That is a question being fre-
quently asked by u great many OF
our people. We can. only say il
she does, it is time some active
steps were being taken to that end
There is only one proper and
equitable way to get celebration
on foot. OF course everybody is
patriotic and are anxious to cele-
brate the day, but to arrange for
q celebration there is a considera-
bic expense. to meet. The people
generally look at that matter in
this way:
That the expense should be met
by those who would be most ben
Gifted in financial sense.
Heretofore parties least interest
ed financially have had to bear
the brunt and they are getting tir.
ed of it.
We do not mean, in2the least, to
say that we should get up cele-
bration from financial considera
ton, but as there, necessarily, will
be some expense money to be rails
ed, we think it but right that
those should subscribe it who
would be the most benefited
should celebration be had.
To prepare for Fourth of July
celebration, it would necessitate
our people buying great many
things from our merchants that
they would not otherwise purchase,
hence the conclusion is, that our bu
siness men should take hold of the
matter, subscribe the necessary ex
pense money, put it into the hands
of committee and then every body
would push and hurrah for grapo
and glorious celebration.

The Singing Convention.

The Singing Convention at the
Parker school house last Sunday
was the completest success of any
undertaking we have witnessed tor
some time.
At an early hour hundreds of
people began to assemble in the
grove near the school house and
by nine O'Clock the air began to
reverberate strains of beautiful
music.
The welcome address was deliv-
cred by W. H. Cottrell who ex-
tended q most hearty welcome
to all present. The forenoon
was spent in each choir singing
five songs. r,ls choirs rep
resented in the convention were
Parker, New Home, Douglas, Cen
ter Point, and Green Forest.
Monroe Dunlap was the leader Of
the Douglas choir, E. A. Hulsey
OF the Parker choir and John w.
Smith led all the others.
After dinner which was served
on the grounds, judges consisting
OF SAINT Thomason of Boone county.
Mr.. Douglas, of Prairie townshsp,
and Andy Cox OF Stone cour ,y
Mo-, were appointed and each
choir sang five songs.
The honors of the day were
awarded the Center Point choir
with Green Forest following very
close second.
Interspersed with the sin ging
speeches were made by P. Shipley
and Hon. W. r Phillips on musca
subj ects.
All in all, 1t was the most pleas
ant occasion, as expressed by all
that has taken place for some time
This was the first singing conven-
ton ever held in the county and
Prot. Smith is to be comm ended
for his zeal in working up such ar
interest. We understand the mex
convention will be hold in about
three months at New Home.

Elisha Blanton, a man about
Is years old, living with his father
near Roscoe, in Boone county was
accidentally shot Saturday, and
died Sunday afternoon. The par
ticulars as we get them are about
as follows. Some five or six
months ago a brother of his had
died. Some few days ago Elisha
had traded off the dead brother's s
saddle. His father made some pro-
test about the trade and on Saturday
morning the old gentleman start ed
to the barn to get his horse to go
after the saddle. Elisha rushed in
to the house and got pistol as if to
shoot his father, wbereupon his
mother and sister grabbed him
and in a scramble with him trying
to take the pistol from him it was
accidentally discharged, taking Of
feet in his abdomen. Drs. Poynor
of this place and Ca, dwell and
Watkins of Carrollton were called
to see him. By examination they
found fourteen holes had been
made in his intostines which they
sewed up. He made
