The Green Forest tribune., 1899-07-20

Grim in renting boxes to the pa irons of the office, since receiving the new cabinet, has not been fully realized. While the number of box renters has been considerably increased, yet there are great many boxes still vacant, which should be taken. We are pleased to note that large per cent of the patrons of office who take THE TRIBUNE have boxes. We wish to urge upon all our subscribers who have not yet taken boxes to do so. 1t works a convenience to all con- cerned and is calculated to prevent mistakes that are liable to be made by having miscellaneous lot of mai mixed up in one box. When you have a box you have the ad- vantage of the numerous sample papers sent to the office and a halt dozen other advantages, all for the pitiful sum of 3 l-3 cents a month.

 The mineral excitement down east continues to increase. The travel in that direction has not sub- sided any from what it has been for three or four months past. Those of the visitors who return this way never express any disappointment about what they find, but are all enthusiastic over the quantity and quality of the mineral to be seen. Every one is sanguine that a rail- road will penetrate that section very soon, and the Eureka Spri ngs extension is looked upon as the road most probable.
 Tom Bradshaw, residing on the mountain, south of town, has suc- cceded Tom Walker as contractor on the Osage mail route. We don't know what figure Brad shaw is entertaining, but we pie- diet that the young fellow has "bit off mere than he can chaw." Wal. ker is better situated to carry this mail than any one else. He was getting dollar a trip and had an elepant on his hand at that.
 Monday next is the big day at Springdale Chautauqua. Hon. W. J. Bryan will be there and speak in the afternoon and at night. This vii most likely be the best opportunity ever offered our peo- pie to hear the great orator and politician. Better go. The rail roads offer one fare tor the round trip.
 We no longer take it as an ot- fense for people who, for personal or other reasons, prefer to borrow THE TRIBUNE rather than subscribe for it. We have several non-sub- scrlber readers in Green Forest, aud we wouldn't stop 1t if we could, for we are so well accustomed to it, still, we can't help but notice it.
