two miles south ot town they es
 pied a molasses mill. Their ava
 ricious appetltes at once set up a
 hank ering for a dish ot the new
 born molasses. The remainder ot the story is best told by the gen. tlemen themselves, in which they both agree as to what transpired, but, strange to say, they widely differ as to which one of them was the victim of the joke, each de- claring that it was the other. We will give years subscription to THE TRIBUNE to any one who will satisfactorily clear up the myste- ry. But to the joke. On seeing a dish of these new molasses setting on barrel with a cornstalk spoon in them, they each made dash in response to the urgent appeal of their appetites. In the absence of better proof than we now have at hand, the reader will have to imagine winch one was in the lead. On they sped, and just as the winner made home-stretch grab for tho inviting spoon, down he plunged to the seat of his pants into a pool of "skimmings" that had been ingeniously covered up with grass in order to decoy suckers into its nasty embrace. The boys who were present for fun only have plenty of pin money, and it is probable that only future gen. era:ions will ever know the real facts in the case.
 H. B. Francis asks us to an. nounce that he, J. A. Standlee and others, have arranged to meet in Green Forest at 2 o'clock p, m., on next Saturday, August 24, for the purpose or arranging fruit grow CTS union. It is earnestly desired that all persons interested in fruit will be present and help make the organization a success. THE TR1B- UNE knows oi no more a commend able step that could be taken by our farmers than to come together in a society of this kind. If there is any one thing that promises a future for this county, it is fruit raising, and nothing can promote the industry better than it can be done by an organization of the farmers. Not only is there lots of knowledge to be obtalned by meeting and discussing the various things necessary to the successful production of fruit, but much is to be gained in marketing it. In fact, a horticultural society is ab- solutely indispensable where fruit raising is made success. We hope to see big crowd out Satur- day afternoon.
 M. E. Russell arrived home Sunday on 30 days furlough. This is the first time Martin has been home in nearly two years and he has been busy greeting friends this week. He expects to be dis charged on his return to Little Rock at the expiration of his fur tough. Like all other volunteers, he enlisted tor the purpose of see- ing actual service, but as that opportunity did not reach Arkan- sas soldiers, he is ready and anx- ious to be mustered out. He is the very picture of health and says army life served him alright.
 An outing party composed of the following visited Miss Virgie Blaslngame at . Coin Sunday: Misses Ethel Walker, Edna Wise, Margle Russell, Birmah Capps, and Messrs. George Buell., Gallo Enix, Otis Wells and George Phillips. It was Miss Virgie's birthday and she was most pleas antly surprised at the kind remem berance of her friends. All kinds of nice good things to eat were served by Mrs. BIasingame and an enjoyable day was spent by all.
 You invite disappointment when when you experiment. DeWitt's Little Early Risers are pleasant, easy, thorough little pills. They cure constipation and sick head ache just as sure as you take them. Harbert < Sheldon.
 Dan Wilson, who left here very unceremoniously two weeks ago, has turned up in Texas. His
