 There will be all kinds of excursions over the new road this sumner. Our people would as well prepare for taking care of large crowds of visitors, for they are surely coming.

 c. c. Kemper, general agent for Buckeye binders and mowers, is here this week telling the people of the ex- traordinary qualities of the Buckeye. Rhodes & O'Neal are the local agents. It is an all right machine.
 Circumstances over which we have had no control have prevented us from being able to get out and hustle as we had anticipated this month, so we have fallen about 200 subscribers short of the 1000 we expected to have at the end of this month. We will have to content ourselves at present with having the largest list in the county.
 The Board of election commissioners informs us that the necessary receipts of the candidates on the ticket, headed bp A. J. Russell, for mayor, was not re- ceived by the commissioners until it was too late to get their names on the official ballot. This will necessitate the voters writing the names on the ballot if they desire to vote for that ticket.
 w. E. Gregroy, who has been ap- pointed agent for the Green Forest sta- tion, writes TIE TRIBUNE that he tween the town and the depot of much importance, and he thinks an ef- fort to establish one should be made at once. His suggestion is timely, but it is difficult to figure out how line may be put in and maintained for public use unless some sort of an exchange is in- stituted. No one is disposed to put in private line and maintain it for public use, and it is hard to make an arrange ment of any kind where one box could give satisfactory service at the town end. The only scheme we can think of that would be within the reach of all } who'could use phone to an advantage t would be to establish mutual exchange Let each one who takes box buy it out right and pay for putting up wire to central office, then when the arrange , ment is once complete, only the expense of maintaining central office is neces- sary, which, if as many as 9 boxes are taken, will perhaps not exceed an ex- pense of 50 cents month, after the first outlay is met. This will not only afford |. connection with the depot but with every person who has a box. Boxes may be purchased for nominal sum, perhaps as low as $5 each, and the expense of construction need not amount to that much. There is no question but that this plan is the cheapest one for tele- phone service that can possibly be in stituted.
