The Green Forest tribune., 1899-07-06

last Saturday discusses the census patronage situation as follows:
 "While Senator Berry is in the city it is understood that a commit tee from the republican state cen tral committee will ask confer ence with view to the further disposition of census patronage.

 So far as we have learned the various celebrations were W ell at tended, but in most cases the pro- grams and new dresses were greatly interfe, ed with by the drenching rain that prevailed from ten to twelve o'clock.
 Robert Blasingame and Bill Hanbury celebrated the Fourth by starting to sink d shalt on the f mineral property on the mountain, south of town. Bob believes he has struck it rich and we don't doubt it.
 Charley O'NeaI came up from Yocum and helped the GoXscy boys out with the Fourth of J uIy rush. This firm sells more gener- al merchandise than any other house in the county. They adver- tise.
