 Words of Commendation for tI,e
 People of Green Forest.
 In his report of the proceedings of the state horticultural meeting, Editor A. W. St. John of the Mena Star, made the following reference to Green Forest
 "Green Forest is a pretty place and in spite of it's name is 8 prai- rie town surrounded by a rolling prairie country, having the ap- pearance of being quite produc- tive. The town has only about 700 population, but here is one of the most active horticultural so~ cieties in the state. This las5 season at the St. Louis fair. where competition is open to the world, this society made dis play of apples and out of twelve entries won eight premiums, six of them being first and two sec ond. One first premium was on the best ten plates of apples, ana one second premium on the best and largest exhibit.
 The society had their large blue and red ribbons as given at the fair suspended by cord above their fruit display, much as Indian warriors were won't, in years gone by, to display the scalps taken from their enemies.
 Green Forest is a remarkable town in other respects. It sus- tains a good newspaper, main tains a we'll organized and uni formed cornet band of twelve pieces, and from the array of tal- ent shown along musical and elo- cutionary lines presented during an entertainment given their vis- itors one evening, coupled with the hospitality shown, one was led to believe that the entire population is given to hospitality; and that they are all musicians, all orators and elocutionists, and all good looking"
 The following appeared in last Sundays Little Rock Gazette:
 "Judge H. T. Bradford, com missioner of mines. manufactures and agriculture, returned yester- day from Green Forest, where he attended the meeting of the hor- ticultural association. Judge Bradford believes that the effect of the meeting will be widespread, and not confined to Arkansas alone. There were not less than 250 visitors in Green Forest dur ing the session, who hailed from all parts of Arkansas, Missouri and the territories. "I have never seen such enthusiasm displayed" says the judge. The residents of Green Forest gave the association royal welcome. Judge Bradford says that ar engagements are being made in the northern part. of the state, from reports he gathered at the meeting, for planting more peach and apple trees than has ever yet been planted in the state in a single season. The meeting of the association lasted through three days"
 President Logan of the state society wrote B. s. Foreman upon his return from here to Little Rock to assume his duties as state senator as follows:
 "I have thought a great deal about the meeting at your place and can n'tremember any gather ing at which ever enjoyed my self so much. The business of the meeting was not only carried out very pleasantly, but the re- ception and entertainment given the members by the citizens will always be remembered, for it is largely to the credit of your people that the meeting was 50 successful.

The United States has tariff to protect
its Industries yet-be open our doors for
the labor element OF almost the whole
It's industries yet-we open our doors for
equal ground with our native-born wage
earners. A retrospective view OF the past
year shows tho arrival OF b45, ,7bo foreign
ers About s,,274 OF this number brought
with them about $50 while the sum total
OF immigrants showed an average OF
s5.5i. An estimate is made that probably
one-third OF them remain in eastern cit
les while the majority OF them go to
western cities. What are We going to do
with them or what are they going to do
with us7 II seems high time that we act
against the low and degraded element OF
Europe that is daily and yearly forcing
itself upon US.

should have the necessary equip
ment for the performance of his
regular duties is the firm belief
OF Mayor Miller and he therefore
recommends such an appropria-
tion 10 secure same.
The condition OF our large sew
erage system and the work still
TO be done is pointed out in a
clear manner.
Speaking on the matter OF pub
lie health the mayor gives the
city council the benefit of very
earnest thought. He strongly
urges taking special means to
prevent the entrance of smallpox
into the city and that due regard
be taken in making appropriations
in order TO be prepared should the
dreaded disease break out in the
city or immediate neighborhood.
The entire message is worthy
of perusal by every citizen.
