GOLF. MORE EXPENSIVE NOW.
Because Clubs Have to Keep Tennis Courts
as We'll,

Golf has become more expensive game
than ever. Many members of the country
clubs near this city have this year found
themselves compelled TO pay an extra sum
for the use Of the golf links, This has
not happened in the clubs organized ex-
clusivey for golf, but those which include
his game among others
One Of the popular suburban clubs near
the city compels members who wish tho
Use Of the golf links TO pay an additional
$40 this year.
"This increase in price for the privilege
Of playing golf" a director Of one of the
clubs said. "has been made necessary be-
cause clubs have been compelled 10 10
to the expense of laying out additional
tennis courts this year. The old interest
in tennis has revived so generally that
the new clubs formed while golf was the
craze are not sufficiently supplied with
courts to meet the demand
The golf links must everywhere be kept
up for a comparatively small number
So H. has been necessary to increase the
dues and initiation fee. thus making mem

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 3, 1903. Editor of THE TRIBUNE,
 Green Forest, Ark.
 Dear Sir: My mother has been a subscriber to your paper for some time, and has yet paid up time to Jan. 8, 1903, but she has received no paper since the 18th of December, 1902. I do not un- derstand why this should be so, because l was in Green Forest twice between the first and fif- teenth of December and both times 1 observed the front door of THE TRIBUNE office open, so I know you are doing business, after a fashion. but it is a poor fashion of advertising a town to neglect out of town subscribers. l wish you would please dig up the missing numbers of the paper and send them up here. We sub- scribe for the paper because we want it, don't forget that. I am sending a dollar money order for Jan. 8, 1903, to Jan 8, 1904, for Mrs. Prudence F. Parsell, as be- fore. Please credit to her.
 am amazed at the growth of Green Forest since the railroad goes by the town, and I look for continuous line of prosperity for the place. l hope this prosperity will include street improvements for Green Forest, because such deep and "unmixed mud" is a detriment to progress. (Please understand that 1 am not trying to be facetious.) The side walk and paving problem is very inn portant one in the growth of a new town.
 Wishing the paper all success for the New Year. Yours,
 GRACE N. PARSELL. 1909 Forest Ave.

your energy largely in the direc- tion of inducing new people to come here, people who do not have to be told that this is one of the greatest fruit growing sections now known in the United States, and who will go to work at once to develop our resources. I find no fault, however, with your pa per upon this score, for you have already done much in this direc- tion, the results from which are already apparent. Keep it up and you will soon have a horticul- tural organization whose mem- bers will be present at the meet ings from sense of business. An interest cannot be forced in such an enterprise among people who attend from a mere sense of duty or curiosity. The society must be maintained for business in the sense that ideas gained from such associations have a money value and that co-opera- tion in marketing fruits means dollars and cents in the pockets of it's members. How need you expect to keep men enthused upon this subject who are lending no attention whatever to scientific orcharding."

Close of Coin School.
1909 Forest Ave.

Notwithstanding the unfavor- able weather that prevailed last Friday night very large crowd was out to witness the closing exercises of Coin public school. Prof. Gregson is certainly an ideal hand at getting up such an enter tainment. He has proven himself an excellent teacher during the six months he has taught here.
 Both instrumental and vocal music were furnished by Redden Mattox of Harrison, which was beyond doubt the best ever heard in the district. The Denver boys helped out by doing a few negro acts which contributed greatly to the fun. Those who helped with the exhibition beside the pupils of the school were Mrs. Cora Cooper, Misses Virgie Blas- ingame and Della Carmack and Clinton Swor. Clinton's address on education was short but point ed. In the course of his re- marks he said that by properly educating the young the time will come when our 13-inch guns can be moulded into blow blades and our ironclad ships of war can be made to carry the prod ucts of the land. l.. s.

Thinks New Blood is N eeded.

''I see your heroic efforts a few weeks ago to resurrect an interest in the attendance at the meetings of the Green Forest Horticultural Association have been of little eff fect," said a close observer to THE TRIBUNE editor a few days ago. ''The people of this country for most part will have to be shown on the fruit question, and 1 doubt if many of the older citizens ever take active stock in the encour- agement of planting orchards. The fact is that many of the people who depend upon the products of the soil for living are So 'sot in their way raising corn, enough wheat for breakfast biscuits and a good sized crop of nothing that they cannot be brought to transformation of their modes of living readily, and we cannot reasonably expect but few of them to participate in the fruit boom that is surely coming to this section.''
 Continuing upon this line of thought the gentleman said, "The most effective way to pro- mote orchard planting is to lend

STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.
Town Council Is Endeavorino to
 Give Us Both of Them.

IOWH SOuHCII IS EuucdVOTIn1 to
 Give Us Both of Them.
 Initiatory steps were taken at the regular meeting of the town council on last Monday night, looking to the grading of the street leading to the depot and the building of a number of substan- tial sidewalks.
 A committee on streetimprove- ment was elected, consisting of Aldermen Buell., Porter and liar ris to lay out work for a street commissioners to be appointed by the mayor; also to secure all possible donation work that can be obtained on the grading and graveling of the streets leading to the depot. It is to be the duty of the street commissions to. oversee this donation work, and whatever is lacking of having the road in satisfactory condition when this resource is exhausted, the commissioner Is to warn out such persons as are subject to road duty and to apply so much of it as will be necessary to ac- complish the desired result.
 Relative to sidewalks the coun- cil has made very decided move, and if the purpose of the gentle men who now hold the reins of our city government is not by some means thwarted, the build- ing of a substantial sidewalk to the depot will be only one of many much walks to be built soon. A. J. Russell and Judge w. A. Butt have been asked to draft an ordinance looking to the building of walks. It will provide that the owners of property on certain streets may be compelled to erect walks the full length of their lots, by petition bearing the names of two thirds of the resident property owners on such streets. Reasonable time::will, of course, be given for the building of such walk as will be accept able to the council, after the lapse of which the walk may be built by the town and the cost of same assessed against property.
 THE TRIBUNE heartily com mends this move on the part of the council. We believe it is as nearly an equitable arrangement for securing walks as can be reached. While we have not had time to make an investigation as to what streets may be included III those upon WHICH SlueWH'"S may be built in the event of this passage of this ordinance, We believe that it will include about if not quite all the principal streets of the town. No citizen will certainly be so short sighted as not to be able to see the value of his property is increased at least to the full cost of the build ing of a substantial walk. At any rate, we hope the council will not be baffled in the pass ing and strict enforcement of such an ordinance, and will succeed in giving us sidewalks, for the need of which all property values in Green Forest are suffering.

DR.. Rene Martin, Of Crowley
was in Lafayette Thursday and
made a. trip to Anse Labutte
DR.. Martin says that things at
the oil field are very encourag
ing.
The New Ioeria Oil and Min
eral Company struck Oil at a
depth of $50 feet in it's well, stu
ated half a mile northeast of
Haywood No. 1.
The Haywood Brothers have
received new machinery, which
will be used to drill we'll on
Mr.. Babb's tract.
DR.. Martin has much faith in
the Anse Labutte field, which.
he believes, is destined to become
one of the greatest in the world.
He says that the fact that oil has
been found in every we'll that
was drilled shows the extent of
the field.

a WHOLESALE STORE
a New Enterprise in Lafayette
Several Carloads Of STUFF
Received.

The opening of wholesale es
tablishment in Lafayette by the
Merchants Grocer Company
Limited, is an event of more
than ordinary Importance to the
industrial interests of this com
munlty. The organization OF
this company by some OF
the most substantial men of the
town was a strong Indication OF
municipal growth and the en-.
trance of the new firm into the
local business world under such
favorable auspices should be a
source of qualification to all who
look with favor upon this addi-
tional evidence of the prosperity
of Lafayette. This town Offers
exceptional advantages to a
wholesale business, and as the
affairs of the Merchants Grocer
Company have been wisely
placed in the hands of men of
integrity, ability and business
experience there is every reason
to believe that the new firm will
meet with that large measure of
success which it will endeavor to
merit. One fact alone in con-
nectiOn with the wholesale com
pany should win for it the undi-
vided support of the mercantile
people. Its interests do not CON
flict with those of the local re-
tail dealers upon whose patron
age it must in great measure de-
pend for success. 1t is clear
that the retail dealer will be
greatly facilitated by the whole
sale company in carrying on his
business. This is particularly
true of the dealer with limited
means. Every business man
will readily appreciate these adj
vantages.
AS was stated in these col
umns the new concern will be
under the management of the
following officers of the COM
pany: F. Demanade, presidents;
J. r. Jeanmard, vice-president:
Geo. A. DeBlanc, secretary and
treasurer. These gentlemen are
we'll known in Lafayette and
need no words of com mend alton
from US. They will devote all
heir time to their respective
luties. The company could not
nave selected a better place for
is building, which is a two
story, brick structure, large
to store a complete stock
# goods for the supply of the
Ocal demand. A Southern Paci-
ic switch runs mediately in :
ront of the building, thus af- :
exceptional facilities for
he loading and unloading of 5
ars. Already several carloads
f stuff have been received and
usiness has begun in earnest.
