 | President Scullin of the railroad com pany visited the railroad works east of Harrison last week, leaving on his re- turn to St. Louis Sunday night. He says the work on the grs de has been de- layed on account of being unable to secure contractors, due to the fact that this class of men are all employed else- where. MT. Scullen says this is season of railroad building all over the country.
 THE TRIBUNE is authorized to place before it's readers the announcement of R. L. Anderson for the office of tax col lector. MT. Anderson is quite well known, having twice been elected to the office of assessor. He proposes to rely upon the record he has made in this position for an indorsement for the pos ition he now seeks. MT. Anderson is a thorough gentleman and we are confident would use his best efforts to make the county an efficient collector.
 The boys who went off with Tim Gal win to work on the grade of the Ozark & Cherokee Central near Westville, I. T., are turning in home as fast as they can get back madder than wet hens. Upon arriving at the scene of operation they were gently informed that they would be compelled to assoclate with negro convicts both upon the works and during refreshments, also that they would get only S1 .25 day instead of S1 50 as they had been promised and that they must first work out the cost of their transpor- tation from Green Forest, which they had been told was free. Well, that didn't suit the boys at all and they weren't long showing the contractors all the in- dependence they were able to exercise. All who had the price at their command boarded the first train out and arrived home Monday morning, poorer by about S8.OOa head but much wiser. It is safe to say Tim Calvin will not make another effort to get railroad hands about Green Forest.
