The Green Forest tribune., 1901-03-16

was a sort of prospector here this week.
 Mrs. A. RI .singame WIS called to Alton, I. T., first of the week on accoun of the serious illness of her son, Henry.
 H. k. Ball of Carbon Hill, Ala, a brother-in-law of F. A. Thole, arrived Thursday, looking for home. THE TRIBUNE hopes he will find place that will suit him.
 Go to Eureka Springs and see Lloyd's big stock of Hardware, Sash and Doors. He will surely sell you if good goods and low prices are what you want.
 If you want the best and most fash ionable Dry Goods and Furnishings that can be bought in the county go to Per- kins Bros. 6: Lloyd at Eureka Springs.
 J.A.P Pryor of Rudd has moved to Green Forest, occupying the Orrell property on South Springfield street. N. E. McGruder, who formerly occupied this property, has moved to rooms at F. $. Hoag's residence.
 The heavy rain of Saturday and Sum- day interfered with the progress of the steel gang considerably. A slide-in at the west approach of the tunnel hinder ed the passing of trains for several hours, and the road bed was, slightly damaged in several places on account of overflows.
 President Scullin of the railroad com- pany has been over the line the past week. He expressed satisfaction at the progress of the work as we'll as the out look for big business for the new road. MT. Scullin is very affable gentleman and has made many warm freinds in Green Forest.
 Wise & Go. are agents for the cele- brated Champion Binders and Mowers. The business will be looked after in this territory by B. c. Campbell of that firm, who will devote his time to the business until the season is over. The Cham pion is one of the very best machines manufactured and it will doubtless meet with good sale here.
 Parties who are especially interested in the purchase and removal of the Harbert drug store building took the matter into their own hands first of the week and it now looks as if the balance necessary topay for the property will be subscribed and that the building will be hauled away in short order, thus effectually disposing of the question as to whether the town council should make an expenditure for this purpose. This will give handsome outlet to the southwest corner of the square and will add much value to property in that To- cality, as we'll as improve the appear ance of the town wonderfully.
 We do not intend that the columns of our paper shall be contaminated by the slime of petty personal journalism, or that small things shall keep us from pursuing the "even tenor of our way" It's sad waste of ammunition to she ot cannon at snow birds, and we are not batting for minnows. If our rights are trampled, the transgressor will be held personally responsible. Whenever the public rights are infringed, we shall not hesitate to defend so long as we can wield our Faber. Outside of this, is beyond the domain of respectable jour- nalism; and in justice to those who pay us for the news, we shall decline to give our space to personal spleen. As far as our ability permits, we shall con- duct clean, newsy, up-to-date journal that the cilizens of Carroll county may we'll feel pride in introducing to their homes. There is demand for such paper and we want to fill it. Quips, quirks and innuendoes are the products of small minds, who for the want of more substantial gray matter in the brain substitute such vile matter as a space filler, and then ask their patrons to buy iJ for their homes and children. "When your children ask for bread will ye give them stone? or fish, will ye give them serpent?" When from con- fidence reposed in us, ye buy our paper for the news shall we fill it with person. al slush? Away with such hypocrisy. From the Green Forest Herald of Jan- uary 17, A. D., 1901.
