The Green Forest tribune., 1899-06-01

The season for effective street and road work is now on. Persons subject to street duty would not only manifest an enterprising spirit but do the town vast deal of good by volunteering to put Tn all the time required of them this year within the coming few weeks. This would put the streets in good condition and the burden would be off our hands. THE TRIBUNE force IS willing to do that, and then some. It would be a handsome thing to do, also, if some of our en- terprising citizens, who are over- age, would catch the magnanimous disposition of Corneal Skinkle, who took his team along and help ed all he could, the last time the hands were called out, solely be- cause of his interest in good roads.
 The BerryvilIe Progress of last eek says the opinion is prevalent over there that the promoters of the proposed extension of the Eureka Springs railroad never had any intention ot extending, their action in the matter being only a bluff to stand off the motor line project between that place and Eureka Springs, while the Eure ka Springs Flashlight of the same date declares that the road will be built as sure as two and two make tour. Now what do you think?
 The following editorial appeared in the Springfield Leader-Demo- crat of last Saturday,:
 "Advices from Little Rock indi- cate that the Eureka Springs extension is not so dead as many were led to beliere. The scheme is backed by substantial men and 1t looks like go. It will probably settle the north Arkansas railroad situation for many years to come, and certainly give Springfield an equal chance with the rest of the world"
 The Green Forest school gets there as usual. Last week IS pu- pills from this school were examin- ed for teachers license and not a single one failed. Four got first grades, six second grades and eight third grades. In the six years of this schools history, it has only one applicant to tail on examination.
