The Green Forest tribune., 1902-02-15
HE IS JUSTLY CONDEMNED.
Democrat Correspond
 ent Asked to Keep the Peace.


 The effort of the Little Rock Democrats correspondent to be- l little Green Forest as the next place of meeting of the Arkansas Horticultural Society is meeting just condemnation.
 President John P. Logan of the society advises THE TRIBUNE in personal letter that there is no thought whatever of changing the place of meeting, but on the other hand he commends the wisdom displayed by the executive com mittee in the selection of place and confidently looks forward to the Green Forest meeting as the most successful in the history of the association.
 Dr. A. c. Smith, president and i general manager of the Apple Growers Union of Springdale, who is a member of the executive committee of the society, also takes notice of the matter and writes THE TRIBUNE the following letter upon that subject and takes occasion to discuss some other matters of importance to the as- sociation. His letter is as follows: Springdale, Ark, Feb. 5, 1901.
 EDITORS GREEN FOREST TRIB- UNE:-As a member of the eX- ecutive committee of the Arkan- sas State Horticultural Society, 1 am much amused since reading in your valued paper the slur cast upon your town by a correspond- ent of the Little Rock Democrat writing from Fayetteville. l sug- gest that this correspondent give his name or forever hold his peace.
 Had attended the committee meeting l would very likely have set forth the advantages of Springdale as superior to any other city in the state. But since the meeting has been appointed, it in my opinion lily becomes any person to say aught to belittle the place selected and by so doing reflect on the wisdom and pro- priety of the committee.
 The very ready and apt reply of your mayor evinces the proper spirit and no doubt reflects the sentiment of every citizen of Green Forest. 1 infer this from the zeal manifested by your rep resentatives at the late meeting.
 That the society will be royalty entertained by your people on next January and that your latch strings will be out full length, goes without saying. Your en- terprise is commendable, and now since Green Forest has the front seat, l will assume that her people will see to it that she is not snuffed out and that her light will shine as beacon to light the pathway of at least 200 members who will gather within her walls at the next meeting. l will say sub rosa that the Apple Growers Union of Springdale will furnish 25 of the number.
 In all seriousness, 1 want to urge upon all the officers of the society the necessity of doing their full duty. This cannot be done by any keep-sJill method as has dominated in the past.
 The interest created at the Fay meeting should be kept alive. We should begin now by discussing it's merits in all To- cal societies at every meeting. Letters from members and officers encouraging the work and sug- gesting ways and means to con- serve the best interests of the next meeting, should be publish ed; and since the society is with out a medium of communication and since our next meeting is within your gates, 1 suggest that THE TRIBUNE be this medium through which we can continue the work so auspiciously begun at Fayetteville and that every so- ciety and every member subscribe for THE TRIBUNE. (Let the presi- dent be heard from on this sub- ject.)
