The Fla sh light Called.

THE TRIBUNE challenges the statement of the Eureka Springs Flashlight that it has the largest bonafide circulation of any news paper in Carroll county and asks the editor of that paper to submit his figures.
 THE TRIBUNE is prepared to show by it's books and by ratings secured in George P. Powell's and other newspaper directories that our subscription list has averaged more than 700 during the past two years. We can also show that over 500 have been delivered to actual subscribers in Carroll county-the only point of circula- tion that interests the average local advertiser.
 We do not deny the Flashlights claim, but we do not believe it is correct, and ask for the proof. THE TRIBUNE lays claim to the largest circulation in Carroll county of any newspaper and if we are not justified in this claim we will be glad enough to take our sign down.
 Judging from the number of Flashlights circulated within the delivery of the Green Forest office that papers, county circulation must be very small. We do not believe there is half dozen regu- lar subscribers to that paper in Hickory township, while THE TRIBUNE sends more than fifty to regular readers in Eureka Springs.

Springdale will this year be the biggest berry shipping point in this section, with Johnson second and Lilburn third. There are about 1900 acres in strawberries in this vicinity, and the plants are in finer condition than ever before at this season. If nothing unforeseen occurs to prevent the crop will be the largest and best ever grown here, and the question of pickers is beginning to agitate the minds of the grow CTS. It is estimated that it will require some 10000 pickers in addition to those here at home, to harvest the crop and just where all these people are to come from is problem. Pick ing will begin from the first to the tenth of May, and it is safe to say all who apply here can get work.-Springdale News.

THE. saloon men in Ft. Smith a few days ago went to work and made up a ''jack pot" of S10,OO0 to contribute to Gov. Davis campaign fund. This enraged the city officials who are all Wood men and the officers caused every dive in connection with saloon in the city to be closed up tighter than a claw. Another striking instance of the strenuousness of this gubernatorial campaign.

unknown, and nothing was thought last
evening when he did not appear

where q ghastly sight met her eyes, Mr.
Wrights body was hanging from a high
beam. He must have gone into the stable,
removed his coat, cap, collar, neektie and
unbutt0ned his vesthis cuffs remaining on.
He had doubled clothesiine into a

beam, which he had reached BY step,
kicked tbs ladder away, and death evil
