ruECOUNTY sEATREMOVAL
o,estion is A gain Being Agitat- cd by Green Forest People.

ed bv Green Forest People.
 The question of the removal of the county seat from Berryville tn Green Forest has been revived with much interest during the mast week. It has been a live proposition for To, these many years, and with each succeeding time the question is discussed it seems Green Forests hopes be- come strengthened.
 Ihe fact that our town is almost in tfe exact geographical center of the Eastern district of the county, and that it is recognized by all that the greatest good to the greatest number of the tax payers of this district could be served by the removal of the county seat to this place, the people of Green Forest have long maintained-and their feeling is shared by many people in other portions of the county-that 1t is only a question of time when the change will be made, and an op- perfume time for the vigorous agitation of the question has sim ply been waited.
 Now that our citizens have had time to recover from the raising of the railroad bonus and are able to dig up without material finan- cial inconvenience the requisite 5000 in order to have an elect ion ordered, it is thought and (urged by many of our citizens shatnow is a suitable time to open a campaign.
 It is also pointed out that a new court house is an indispensable necessity, the present rookery being entirely inadequate to the rapidly increasing needs of the county. If the county seat should be moved soon, it could be done at the least expense to the tax payers that it ever can be.
 THE TRIBUNE does not make this announcement with any thought whatever of launching a sensation. The argument con- tained herein is news to few people who are keeping up with the trend of events in the Eastern district of the county.
 Ii the property owners of Green Forest who will be benefited by Bringing the county seat for the Eastern district of the county here are disposed to fit up the collateral, there is nothing stand- Ilhg Tn the way ot taking the voice of the people once more upon this question. Notwith- Standing moving the county seat ls difficult task under the pro- |Vlslons of the statutes of this State, the chances are largely fa- IVoraDle to Green Forest should the matter be brought to show GSWI,

OllO Ol Olldl Oo III VllO 1ctll. Ally fruit grower can safely take a reasonable amount of stock in a cold storage plant with the con- fidence that the profits on his first years savings will pay it out.
 It is certainly to be hoped that our citizens will give this matter such consideration as becomes an enterprising community, and that the friends of Green Forest will be .well represented at the citizens meeting called for the 27th.
 The attendance at the horti- cultural meeting was not large in numbers but the representative fruit men of the community for the most part were there and the session Saturday aftenoon was a profitable one. The principal subjects considered, aside from the cold storage proposition, was the growing and marketing of strawberries. Mr. Shibley took pleasure in informing the society of all the short cuts to growing and marketing that he has found in his experience in running a berry farm for some years past in Crawford county. He declares this section to be well adapted to berry growing and the more the people reach out upon this line the more profitable the industry will become. He says that some have begun to wonder if berry growing will not be overdone, since the indications are good for the planting of several acres about Green Forest. Instead of glutting the market he assures those who may be interested in the subject that we yet lack much of being able to get to the best market, as shipments in carload lot is the only means of reaching the best market and at the same time securing the best shipping rates. Berry shipments, how ever, may be made from here in any amount just as cheaply as they can along the line of the Frisco in Washington and Benton counties, and we may embark in the business with the full con- fidence of being able to meet competition on the market. This is also true of apples in car lots when shipped to distant points.
 J. A. Standlee also furnished the. society with a number of pointers on putting out berry plants. He claims to have had bad luck, owing to the weather this season, in marketing his crop of berries from about three- quarters of an acre, realizing only about $40 out of his crop. This is poor showing certainly from such a sized berry patch, out MT. OCandlee was cOmpeiled to admit that this neck of ground will pay him better, work in- cIuded, than the same amount of land planted in anything else this season.
 It was a general conclusion that berry growing is decidedly promising industry for the people about Green Forest; that nothing else anything like offers such quick and profitable returns, and it can be only a question of but a few seasons at least when Green Forest station will be shipping strawberries in even train load lots.

His Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.

|
 In the first opening of Okla homa to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camp ing upon his claim, he encoun- tered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe dlarrhoea which it seemed almost impossi- ble to check, and along in June the case became so bad he ex- pected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain s Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The sea- son for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by Green Forest Drug Co.

ENTH USIASTIC FRUIT MAN
The Farm of J. B. w. Bennington
 of Carro11ton Township.

of Carro11ton Township.
 J. B. w. Bennington, the enter prising fruit raiser of Carrollton township, was in town on busi- ness Wednesday and was over- taken by THE TRIBUNE scribe, who secured quite an interesting interview.
 Mr. Bennington is an ex-news- paper man, having engaged in the business for a number of years in southwest Missouri. Being a strong advocate of the future possibilities of the Ozark region, he convinced himself that there was more money to be made out of the soil than there is in the paper business, and accordingly he laid down his pencil and took to the field; and although he is now climbing up in years, there is nothing except death or extreme misfortune that can keep him from becoming wealthy.
 When he saw that the building of the St. Louis 6 North Arkansas road was a certainty, he began to plan to get hold of a good tract of fruit land in this section, and he succeeded. He acquired title 70 the Ace Addington place, some eight miles east of Green Forest, which is one of the best upland tracts in the county.
 He put his best foot forward immediately, and when his plans will have matured he will be the owner of as fine an individual orchard and berry plantation as there is to be found in the state.
 When he is done planting this fall he will have forty acres in EIberta peaches and between six and eight acres in straw berries; and before the end of another year the acreage of each will be doubled.
 Mr. Bennington is raising his own nursery stock. He says that Elberta trees grown from the seed of the budded fruit are hardier and live longer than the original budded tree, while the fruit is it's equal in every re- spect. He says that his own ex- perience and that of others prove this statement to be true beyond doubt. He declares for com mercial purposes the Elberta is the only peach. and that he will plant nothing else. He sold in Green Forest last season the pro- ducts of two 3-year old trees for S4.50, or S1 per bushel, while on the same trip he received only 30 cents for other varieties.
 Concerning the present crop, Mr. Bennington says he will have an abundant yield of apples and few peaches. He appre- hends no danger but that he will be able to live comfortable and keep out of debt while his big orchard is coming on; notwlth+ standing the fact that he lost his residence and contents by fire only few weeks ago.
 It would be fortunate, indeed, for this section if we had few thousand such men as Benning- ton among us. Our fruit resour- ces would be developed before we would have time to talk much l abOut it.

A S15,O0O.0O COLD STORAGE.
One Within Green Forests Grasp
 if Prompt Action is Taken.

reason to believe that such an enterprise is now within our grasp if the fruit raisers of the county and the people of the town will get together and offer reasonable inducements.
 At the meeting of the Green Forest Horticultural Association Saturday afternoon, L. $. Shibley presented a communication from a gentleman, who claims to com mand means to build a plant of this kind, offering to establish one here, provided the people of the community are active and willing to help out.
 The gentleman in question has recently made a trip over the St.. l.. & N. A. road and has been impressed that a cold storage plant located somewhere upon the line would be a paying invest ment and Green Forest being centrally located and in the heart of the finest fruit growing section, he decided that our town would be a preferable location; and has given us the first opportunity to consider 8 proposition, which is very reasonable, considering it's great worth.
 Briefly summed up the propo- sition is as follows: The cost of the plant is not to exceed S15, ,0O0; ;; a suitable location must be fur nished without cost to the com- pany by the citizens of Green Forest; S5000 in stock in the company at par is expected to be placed among the fruit raisers about Green Forest and along the railroad. Prompt action is urged in the matter as it may be possi- ble to complete the plant in time to take care of this years apple crop.
 The writer of the proposition goes on to state that he can fur nish takers himself for S1 ,000 of the stock desired to be placed with local people, hence the amount of stock to be sold really amounts to only 4,00O.
 Deeming the proposition in every way reasonable and realiz : ing the great value such an en- terprise would represent to the community, it was the sense of the horticultural association that the proposition be accepted and a resolution was adopted to that effect, and a meeting of the citi- zens of Green Forest and sur- rounding country for the further consideration of the matter is set for Saturday 2, D. m., June 27th, to which a large number of fruit growers along the railroad will be personally invited, a public invitation being extended to everybody who is interested in the stablishment of a cold stor- age plant.
 To the fruit raiser who has had experience in putting his products in cold storage, an argu- ment in favor of encouraging this enterprise by giving it the assistance asked would be space wasted, for cold storage plant is indispensable to the successful marketing of apples. If apple growing can be made to pay with : out such an advantage, 1t can certainly be made to pay ten : fold with the benefit of one. Apples may be held in cold stor- age for high prices, which are sure to come after those forced upon the market from the out side have been exhausted. Cole storage apples always command from double to quadruple the prices offered for apples iron

LINK BINDING
BOTH AMERICAS
This is What the People of Panama
Intend to Make the
Isthmus.

New York, Nov. 18-Federico Boyd.
a member of the commission of the Re-
public of Panama, which has just ar
rived here from Colon, replying to the
question as to what assurances, If any
the people of Panama had from the
United States in reference to its atti-
tude toward the uprising said:
1--WE knew Of course that an Ameri-
can man of war would be there to see
that traffic across the Isthmus was not
interrupted by the fighting and we
knew, for that reason that the landing
of Colombian troops would not be per-
mitted. Outside of that we had no as
surances. What we did, we did on our
own responsibility and depended upon
the justice of our cause for recogni-
ton. The sentiment of the people of
Panama is to make the Isthmus what
it seems destined to be from its geo.
location, link binding to-
gether the two Americas and a gate
way between the two worlds. The
building of the canal now lies with the
United States"
