The following report of Hon. B. M. Foreman recent visit to Bentonville is reported to THE TRIBUNE by prominent citizen of Bentonville as follows:
 "Hon. B. M. Foreman was in Bentonville Thursday when the County Central Committee met and at the request of a number of leading republicans addressed a large and appreciative audi ence at the court house and after wards made 8 short but pointed talk before the committee. Mar shal Stahl was urgently invited and, in fact, many means were used to get him to attend and share the time with Mr. Foreman, but, Achilles like, suiked in his tent, hied himself to his hotel to quietude to the far-fetched dream of a second term.
 ''Mr. Stahl was given an op-

Plant Pecan Trees.

The pecan tree not only bears one of the most delicious nuts, but it is one of the most hardy trees that grows in the South, and makes as fine shade tree as the Elm or Maple and no family ought to be without few trees. It would pay the town authorities to do as the French authorities do, plant nut bearing trees on the sidewalks and get a revenue therefrom. A town that would this year put out a thousand trees on the sidewalks at com- paratively small cost would, in ten years, get an annual return of at least S500.0O and each year there would be an increase until the in- come would reach from three to five thousand dollars annually. Enough to more than pay all taxes of an ordinary size town.
 The trees do we'll planted in cotton and corn fields, and farmers can cultivate the lands in crops of corn and cotton until the trees get to bearing, and after they commence bearing a farmer with ten to twenty acres has a small fortune in his pecan grove and don't need to plant cotton and corn. The tree is hardy and stands the cold weather anywhere South of Maryland. At Pine bluff, North Carolina, there is a company that makes a specially of growing the young trees for sale, and we advise the town authorities, and all readers of our paper, to write the Pinebluff Grape & Pecan Company, Pine bluff.

portunity to reply to MT. Fore man before the committee but declined, saying that he would meet Mr. Foreman when every u ing was equal. Was there ever a more opportune time than that good day for MT. Stahl to answer some question and refute some charges? Is there a place in all Arkansas better than Bentonville, where Stahl has spent the great CT part of his stay in the state, to meet a comparative stranger in debate? Is there a people any where who could judge better of his imputed high motives than his former neighbors and busi- ness associates? Can any other "catch the idea" better? Some- how or other Stahl's actions re- mind one of the old adage, Silence gives consent
 "Mr. Foreman appealed for a pure and fair politics and from his demeanor and his past record we know that the man was be- hind the appeal.
 s'Mr. Foreman made many friends in Bentonville. He is an affable gentleman, a fearless and forceful speaker and a frank open and above board kind of man, one that does not run his politics in a secret rooms of hotels, one that does not promise warranty deed to the Aurora Boreallis for support. He is clever, frank, manly fellow and Bentonville is not simply against Stahl but is FOR Foreman.
