THE BEST NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTH

l. WEST.
| A subscriber has written us: "Which If
the best newspaper in the Twin Citiess'
We undertake to answer his question re.
luctantly, because the Twin Ci press i.
probably. as p whole. considerably ahead
of the average Of the newspa peris spf the
Unitsd States >.
Every paper has its peculiarities. No one
paper suits alI the people best, bnt there
Is one way to test a'newspapers, popularity
bettes,sthan any other. that is to count the
number of people who buy it and read it
After. all there Ia no surer test. People
Will not continue to read a paper and pay
for it year after year unless it ls the
nearest approach to what they want that
the market affords.
From this stand point there ia no other
paper IN the Northwest in the sal.e class
with the Minneapolis Tribune. Its average
circulation for 1900 was over $4,000. This
is gondly number. The average country
newspaper has about 1000 subscribers
The Tlbune has more than SO times as
many.
Without attempting to express more
than II personal preference, Ne are frank
epongh.to say that we believe the people
of the. Gorthwests are right. There is
something about The. Tribune which
IN 'kes. one turn to it every da, IN prefer
ence toany other paper. Itis we'll edited,
we'll printed aud we'll illustrated. A man
can get the gest Of the worlds news from
a hasty readlng of The Tribune quicker
than from any other paper we know of
and yetit is com plete enough to cover all
the news Of the day.
The Iriop:n.'s cartoons are a liberal
education and a very easily acquired one;

MT. Roberts Concert.

The concert given by Prof. Roberts and others for the bene- fit of the M. E. church, South, on last Friday evening was pleas ing success and demontrates thoroughly that MT. Roberts is an artist when it comes to making good music.
 On account of the echoing effect upon the sound of the piano, produced by the high ceiling, three selections on the advertised program were left off.
 Those who assistedin in the enter tainment were Misses Essie Cox and Lora Smith, vocal solos: Miss Cliffie Ramsey and James Cole man, guitar solos; Miss Mabel Buell., mandolin solo; Misses Ruth Callen, Belle Morris, Sue Burney, Mabel Buell., recitations; James Braswells cornet solo; Misses Amy Ramsey, Lora Smith, Ethel Walker and Ruth Grim, piano solos.

A March Storm.

A March gale struck the town and centered on the M. E. Church, South, parsonage Satur- day evening. About ', D. m., the clouds began to gather and the wind began blowing from the east, but was soon changable, producing a kind of a whirlwind, then the shower came, not rain, but in the shape of the necessa- ries of life, such as always makes the minister and his family hap py. The pounding contained flour, meat, canned goods, coffee, soda and many other good things, too numerous to mention. This, as we'll as many other demonstrations by our good peo- pie, makes us feel we are truly among friends in Green Forest. After spending some time with the ''pounders," a song and prayer was offered, and the visit ors retired.
 May the smiles of the Lord ever be upon the people of Green Forest! We are especially great full to the young folks.

A $4,OOO SCHOOL BUILDING. That is What the Green Forest
 School Board is Figuring on.

THE TRIBUNE finds much pleas ure in reporting a movement which we have been agitating for some time toward the erec- tion of a new school building for Green Forest.
 The movement was confirmed at the meeting of the school board on last Saturday night, the first steps taken being the purchase of 4-acre block in the Carter addition, one block east of Prof. Burney's residence, for a new building site, paying there for S160.
 While the board has no definite plan to submit to the public con- cerning the proposed new building as yet, it is understood that they have in contemplation the erec- ton of a modern stone struc- ture to cost not less S4, eco.
 This is an effort that will be hailed with extreme delight by all of our people and is a strong mark toward the growth and progress of our coming city.

Four New Addition to Green
 Forest Thrown Open.

The consequence to the future of Green Forest of the four additions that have been laid off the past week can hardly be anticipated.
 Dr. J. E. Harbert has decided to extend his addition so as to cover the remainder of the 40 acres south of the square. This will give access to a number of business and residence lots.
 A. J. Russell and T. S. Phillips have become sole owners of the Phillips farm lying one fourth mile south of Main street. This beautiful farm IS now being plated as new addition and it contains some as fine residence lots as can be found in the city. They will at once put them on the market at reasonable prices.
 Just west of this, A. Blasin- game has plated 40 acres of his line farm and his lots are finding ready sale. Those three addi- tions form link that reaches the depot site, and with the Pickens addition on the north makes it possible for our town to cover the entire grounds from the cemetery to the uepot.
 A. A. Pickens has plated his farm on the east side of Scott street and thrown upon the market some choice residence lots.
 An SO-foOt avenue is to start from the southeast corner of the public square, passing south through the Harbert, Phillips 6 Russell additions; then it turns west through the Blasingame addition to the depot site. These men all have the best interest of Green Forest at heart and will work in harmony for it's progress.
 J. D. Hailey and Joe Bobo each have purchased a lot from Dr. Harbert on North Springfield street.

. It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. " ) dairyman called at a drug store tiaere for doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. lie also bought bottle of Chamberlain s cough remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mc. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Cham berlain's cough remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has constant demand for it from that part of the country.
