A Democratic View.

The Arkansas Democrat thus comments upon the republican split:
 "The Insurgents, as the other fellows are pleased to call them, made a showing that must have been surprise to the reg ulars.' The truth is, the con- vention that nominated Hon. c. D. Greaves was made up of as good men as the convention that nominated H. H. Myers. The regulars may as well cease to be- little their antagonists and ac- knowledge that they are con- fronted with real condition. Mir. Greaves has just as much standing at home and abroad as Mir. Myers, save that the latter is better known in his official ca pacity, and it is no use for those who belong to what is termed the regular organization to at tempt to belittle the candidacy of the Hot Springs attorney. Ii may be said that the insurgents will not show as much strength at the polls as the regulars, but

Bank Stockholders Meet.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of Green Forest was held on last Saturday night, resulting in the election of w. R. Sneed, presi- dent; J. E. Franklin, vice presi- dent; J. A. Buell., cashier; w.. l.. Sneed, assistant cashier; with a board of directors as follows: W. R. Sneed, J. E. Franklin, M. S. Coxsey, J. o. Michell, F. O.. Butt, c. B. Grim, A. J. Russell and T. s. Phillips.
 The institution is one year old August 1, at which time this election becomes effective. A dividend of 15 per cent was de- clared, two- -therds of which is to be paid August 1. The other five will be held as surplus.
 The Bank of Green Forest has made a record during the first year of it's existence of which the promoters of the institution are well pleased, and every indica- ton points to greater success in the future.
 John A. Buell. is to be congrat- ulated upon his retention in the position of cashier at increased pay. The business of the bank is certainly in safe hands as long as entrusted to his care. Willie Sneed for assistant is also an apt selection; he is a studious young man and will certainly give the stockholders no occasion for re- gret on account of his selection for the place.
The Green Forest tribune., 1902-07-12

there is no assurance that Mr.
 Greaves will not poll as large a
 vote as Mr. Myers. It is just as
 well that the public understand
 the situation, On the one side is
 arrayed the federal officeholders, styling themselves as the regu- lars, and on the other a strong faction that are entering 6 vigor-
 ous protestagainst federal office holders entrenching themselves
 by methods that have heretofore been in use. It may be said that it is a contest between the ins and the outs. The volume of the deflection from the regular orga- nization is much greater than the public have been led to SUD- pose. The outs have their forces well organized and there will be interesting times in the future. "
