CarrO1lton Academy.

On Saturday night, Feb. 1, at the Batavia Academy the Car rollton literary society and the Batavia society crossed swords in discussing the question: s'Re- solved that the action of the Unit ed States in the Cuban war was but for tl,e welfare of the nation. :"
 Batavia affirmed, Carrollton denied. Despite the disagreeable we ather and mud a large and deeply interested audience faced the disputants. The interest and enthu siasm of the audience did not abate, though the discussion lasted till midnight. Both sides fought hard but both cheered lustily when the judges announce ed one vote for the affirmative and two for the negative.
 The Carrollton boys are espec- ially proud of their victory from the fact that it was won over such eminent debators and logicians as Dr. Routh, J. w. Beach, Amos Case, w. F. Farris and Profs. Nance and Farris and three young but able orators.
 Batavia now prepares to come to Carrollton and renew the bat tie. A PUPIL.

"I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility,'' writes F. J. Green, of Lan cater, N. H. "No remedy helped me until began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medicines l ever used. They have also kept my wife in ex- cellent health for years. She says Electric Bitters arc just splendid for female trou bies: that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take it's place in our family" fry them.

Melville is Happy.

The building of the White River railroad to Melville is a thing of the present, according to the foi- lowing from the Yellville Repub- l lican:
 The work of clearing the right of-way, just north of the city limits, is in progress, and as soon as the camps now being built are completed the graders will com mence their work. Never has there been a doubt as to the To- cation of the line, and never has there been a doubt as to the growth and prosperity of this city. The depot will be just beyond the corporate limits, just where it should be. A road will be run along the branch leading from the depot grounds, bringing the rail- way facilities within few min utes of every business house in the city.
 We have long been waiting for this one important element in the upbuilding of this county, and now that it is here there is no in- clination to find fault with those who have invested their money. It matters but little on what par ticular tract of land the depot and side tracks are located. It may be of importance to individuals, but it is none to the city and the business men who are the ones to be directly benefited.
 Before the end of February at least ten thousand men will be at work on this important line, counting from end to end, the pur- pose being to push it to completion as speedily as possible.
 It can here be added that Rush creek has already been provided for in the survey ordered from this point to both Rush and Clab- Der creeks. Those important camps will be provided with rail communication almost as soon as the main line can be completed. Just from what point the King dom branch will start has not yet been determined, but it will likely start from Melville as does the other.
 There is no longer guess work, as these statements are facts.
 The trains which have been running to Mt. Olive were billed for Calico Rock this week, 25 miles down the river from Buffalo. The track is already laid six miles above Calico Rock, on which construction trains are now run . ming. The track layers are put ting down about mile of steel each day they work, so that the construction trains will be run hing to North Fork very soon.

Progress on the Extension.

Progress on the Extension.
 The following notes concerning the progress of the work of the St. L. & N. A. extension is taken from last weeks Marshall Wave:
 A campi in charge of Contractor Birdsey has been established near J. w. Aday's just west of town. MT. Birdsey has a two- miles contract running west from town and is preparing to open up his work on a big scale.
 Work has commenced on the Bratton cut on the north edge of town. MT. Lyman has this work in charge. This cut will be 26 feet with 35- foot fill at the east end.
 Welch Bros. have their forces scattered as far down as Sulphur Springs in the Cove, and are making a good showing from the gap of the mountain to that point.
 Contractor McGunnigle's forces are now working near the old still hollow on Brush creek, with in four miles of town, and are filling up the gaps back towards the river as fast as men and teams can do the work.
 It is expected that trains will be running into Marshall by the 1st of July.
 With fair weather, within two weeks, workmen will be strung along the line, from McGunnigle's camps on Brush creek to within speaking distance of the thriving town of Leslie.
 Three of the piers for the bridge across Buffalo are finished, with about eight feet yet to build on one of the center piers, when they will be ready for the bridge prop CT. The material for this bridge is being shipped into Gilbert and yard is being constructed there in which to store the material until the piers are made ready for it's reception, when it is placed into position. It will be fine bridge when put together.

Ex-Governor Fishback Dead.

Ex- Governor w. M. Fishback died at his home in Fit. Smith on last Monday, resulting from a stroke of paralysis.
 Ex- Governor Fishback was born November, 1881, at Jeffer- son, Culpepper county, Va., where he grew to manhood. He was educated at the University of Virginia, and read law in Rich mond, after which, in 1857, he came west. In Springfield, Ill.,, he made the acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln, who took a fancy to him and gave him his legal business.
 After he came to Arkansas, in 1858, Mr. Lincoln wrote him of- fering him other business if he would return to Illinois. He re- mained in Arkansas, and, for a time, practiced law at Greenwood. Later he moved to Fort Smith, and in 1874 was a delegate to the constitutional convention.
 In 1876 he was elected to legis- lature, and again in 1878.
 in 1885 he was again in the legislature, at which session Amendment No. 1 to the state constitution was declared adopt ed by majority vote of nearly 105, ,O00. This was the famous Fishback Amendment forbidding the payment of certain fraudulent bonds issued by an act of the general assembly during the re- construction period.
 In 1892 Col. Fishback was elected governor by plurality of over 56,00O votes the largest but two in the history of the state.

PROSPECTS ENCOURAGING.
More About a Canning Factory

More About Canning Factory
 for Green Forest Next Season.
 The proposition of a canning factory for Green Forest is now undoubtedly ripe for action. Not only do our business men seem deeply impressed that an invest ment of this character would mean great deal for the busi- ness interests of the town, but tho scheme is looked upon with tho greatest favor by all of our farm CTS whom we have heard express themselves upon the subject.
 THE TRIBUNE believes from tho information we have so far se- cured upon the subject that con- tracts could be made within a weeks time with our nearby farmers for the production of Q sufficient amount of tomatoes to run two ordinary canning fae- tories during the tomato season.
 The more the question of to- mato production is investigated the more those who are informed upon the subject are impressed that this is an exceptionally fa- vored locality for this sort of an industry. The soil here for to- matoes is pronounced equal if not superior to that of any of the lands of Southwest Missouri, where tomato canneries are oper- ated with the most satisfactory profits. The fact that J. E. Reeves put up IS 3-pound cans of tomatoes to the bushel Of his last years crop. when the gener- al average of the country was less than IS cans to the bushel, is of itself conclusive evidence of the superior adaptibility of this section to the production of to- matOes.
 The quiet season of business covering some weeks past has given our merchants ample op- portunity to study and discuss subjects looking to the improve ment of the business of the town, and the question of a canning factory has been given especial thought, and as we have before suggested, we believe that when the matter is brought up in tan gible shape our business men and citizens generally are ready to lend the enterprise their unqual- flied support, and that the scheme will be readily financed now seems assured.
 As we have before urged, early action is indispensibly necessary, that our farmers may be assured of market for crops they have yet to determine upon planting. Then, the purchase of cans should be early acted upon so as to get the benefit of a reasonable mar ket and be assured of having them exactly when Eeeded. So far as the purchase of the neces- sary machinery and the putting up of building are concerned, there is all the time needed.
 We hope the interest in this matter will not subside until it is definitely settled in favor of the establishment of a factory of good sized capacity. We can but hope the men who can now either make or break Green Forest will not think so much of the dollar iii sight not to be willing to invest liberally in this enterprise.

has since lived with his neice, Mrs.
William E. Dobbs.
Mr.. Cleveland was never married,

A Fine Display.

The educational exhibits at the
high school on Wednesday afternoon,
won high praise from all those wiz
viewed them, and Indeed it was a very
creditab]e display. The manuscript
work and drawing was very fine, and
shows careful training, and good work
of the pupils. The manual training
products were also fine, and some of
the work done by the girl pupils was
exceptionally we'll done. Among the
many exhibits was One-penmanship
that won considerable praise from the
visitors. Vertical writing is taught
and it is considered one of the best
methods in use. 1t is not only much
easier to read but one can write much
faster with this style. Some of the
pupils can write two hundred words a
minute.
These exhibits will be sent to the
state beard who will select the best
specimens from the different schools
through out the state and send them to
St. Louis. And if Sank Centres
schools are any criterion Minnesota
will be way up FROM at the st. Louis
exposition.
