the last school census. 6,0O4 of which were

Minister Dies Suddenly.

Berryville, Ark, May 4.-Our town was shocked this morning to learn of the sudden death of Rev. w. H. Metheney, Methodist minister of this place. On late yesterday evening he went to a pasture near town to look after some stock. Not returning when his wife expected him an alarm was given and search was in stituted for him by the citizens. His body was found in the pasture about one o'clock this morning lying on his back, his death seem- ing to have been without a strug- gle.
 The deceased was about 65 years of age and was serving his second year as minister of his church at BerryYille. He was highly esteemed by all as citi- zen and preacher. Heart failure is supposed to have been the cause of his death.

Bryan Out of It.

W. J. Bryan has made a state ment to the effect that he has no intention of seeking @ third nomi- : nation for the presidency. Mir. Bryan'S announcement is in answer to an article>in an eastern paper speculating on his future plans as a political leader. Mr. Bryan said:
 ''E am not planning for another presidential nomination. If were l would not be editing a paper. If enter another cam paign it will be because of help ing a cause I adhere to. I shall take an interest in politics for several years, if I live, and can be relied upon to support those who as candidates advocate Democratic principles and who can be trusted to enforce them if elected.
 q have no enemies to punish. No matter what a man may have said or done against the ticket in 1896 or in 1900, that man becomes my friend the moment he accepts the Democratic principles. Neither have I any disposition to reward particular friends at the expense of the country. What ever a man may have said in 1896 or 1900, the moment he turns against Democratic principles he must be turned against. The heretofore cannot be recalled and the hereafter cannot be anticipa- ted, but the now is all important ,

SUNDAY CLOSING.
Movement in That Direction is
 Made in Green Forest.

An edicit has gone forth from the prosecuting attorney's office that there must be a little bit more attention paid to the law which is supposed to prohibit the keeping open of stores, barber shops, etc., on Sunday.
 Only 8 gentle intimation was necessary to bring about a change to some extent in Green Forest in matters pertaining thereto last Sunday. Two of our barber shops were closed tighter than clans all day, a condition which never before come to pass in our town, while most all other classes of business that has been looking for Sunday trade was a little more careful than usual.
 This movement is entirely in the right direction and while the law may be a little more sweeping in it's nature than our convenience would dictate, yet the law is the law and it ought to to be enforced. There is no question but that certa in classes of business in Green Forest have been a little too indulgent in this Sunday opening business, and it is to be hoped that the pres ent movement towards shut ting up shops will result in a clean sweep. We can all learn by a little experience that there is lots of things we could do on Satur- day if we were certain Sunday would not offer an opportunity.
 We say hurrah for Prosecuting Attorney Naples! Let us have the Sunday closing law enforced to the letter.

EXCURSION TO HARRISON.
Only 75 Cents for the Round
 Trip on Sunday, May 19.

OH AIV IJs
 Knowing that the people of Green Forest and surrounding country are rather anxious to go on some sort of an excursion on the new railroad, THE TRIBUNE has taken up the matter of a gen. eral excursion to Harrison with Manager West, and he has de- cided to offer our people spe C. ial inducement to go over to Har- rison on May 19, by giving round trip rate of 75 cents, which is a little less than the regular fare one way between Green For est and Harrsion.
 The excursionists will be car- ried on the regular train, which will be run on a schedule some- what different from the one in use at present by the company. The time card changes on that day. Manager West has given us the following figures which he thinks will not miss the schedule that will be in force OF that day very far. Leaving Green Forest at 9:47, a. m., the train will be due at Harrison at ii :58; on the return trip, the train will leave Harrison at 4;30, p. m., and ar- rive back at Green Forest at 6 o'clock. These figures are not official and may be changed slightly, so be onthe safe side by being little bit ahead of time in each instance.
 The Green Forest Cornet Band will go on this trip and will fur nish music at short intervals all the way down and back, thus making the excursion regular picnic from start to finish.
 The stay in Harrison will cover 8 period of 4 hours g minutes, giving ample time to find some- thing to eat and take quite a look at the town. It will be in order for all who are disposed to do so to take lunch baskets and serve their own dinners either on the train or in regular picnic style after the arrival at Harrison.
 Manager West desires that ample accommodations be fur nished for all who wish to go on this trip and if an accurate esti- mate can be placed upon the size of the crowd that wishes to go, he will have plenty of coaches furnished, so the train will not be uncomfortably crowded. It is therefore desirable that if you wish to go on this trip that you leave word at THE TRIBUNE office by the 10th, if possible.
 This will be the best opportuni- ty that will be offered our people at least for sometime to come to take a trip out over the new line, and all would do well to take ad vantage of it.

The Country Editor.

"No man in the community does more for the public and re- ceives less for it than the country editor," said Senator H. Clay Heather, of Palmyra, Marion county, in the Missouri state sen ate, when the bill reducing the price for publishing the Austra- lian ballot was under considera- tion. eff all the space he en- ploys in booming the town, in helping individuals, in making statesman-sometimes out of pretty raw material-were paid for, at even half the legal..rate, he would be the richest man in the country. Few country editors are rich, but they are of more service to the community where they live than the wealthiest men. They are the forefront of every movement for progress. They do the work and leave the emolu- ments to others. A good, clean, honest country newspaper-and most country newspapers are good and clean and honest-helps out every worthy cause and de- serves every encouragement. It fights the party battles, holds up the hands of the reEagmer, and makes the scounda&*Afraid. | am opposed to this0 No paper in 221dn1ounty wonH print the bal I'd itiful price named. IA paupers.
