 THE TRIBUNEis pleased to see an effort revived to build Christian church in Green Forest. This denomination is one of the strongest in both financial and numerical strength in the country and there is no reason why it should not be represented by a nice house of worship in our town. The citi- zens generally should, and we believe will, lend the movement substantial en- couragement.'
 s. M. Roberts and wife late of Rogers were arrivals Wednesday. Their house. hold goods will follow them and they will become residents somewhere in this section, of Green Forest, we hope. MT. Roberts took advantage of the high price of land in Benton county and sold his lands there and has come to equally as good country to buy as good land for less than one-fourth of what he re- ceived for his holdings there.
 In this issue will be found the an- nouncement of Joe s. Fancher for the office of county clerk, subject to the action of the democratic primary. MT. Fancher is a citizen of Hickory town ship and is one of our sturdy young farmers, belonging to the hard working class. Although he has never held a county office he is quite well known throughout the county, having had more or less to do with politics since long before he was a voter His aualif- cations for the office are good and his integrity unquestionable. Joe has many friends who feel that he is entitled to this honor and who will lend him a strong support.
 The following members of the local Rebekah lodge went to Harrison Mon day night to assist in instituting lodge at that place: Mesdames H. M. Foster, Dr. Ramsey, w. H. Howard, T. L. Hummer and Misses Nell Nunnall, Ora Warren, Maude Rhodes, Gertie Rudd, Burnice Foreman, Grace Wells and Ella Dooling and Messrs. T. l.. Hummer and T. $. Phillips. The work of instituting was presi ded over by Mrs. Hummer, the district deputy president, assisted by Mrs. H. T. Pendergrass, the district president. The members who went from here report a royal good time, having been given entertainment at the popular Connerly hotel. Thirty-si members were initiated into the order, giving the lodge membership of forty to start with.
 We are pleased to note the position taken by Judge White, candidate for county judge, upon the question of our public roads. In his circular announce ing his candidacy he discusses briefly the road question, and pledges his efforts to a betterment of the public highways throughout the county. We believe with Judge White, that upon the county judge rests great deal of the responsi- bility for the condition of roads-whether good or oakland that a judge who makes specially of looking after high ways and gives a personal attention to the work on same, can materially better present conditions. Judge White very properly says that he knows of no means by which he had rather be remembered than as the good roads county judge of Carroll county. Such title should be one of pride to any man and one which we believe Judge White if elect ed, will win and deserve.
 Eld. J. w. Towrey of Cans, I. T., the Christian evangelist, closed his series of meetings here Sunday night and has de- parted for other fields of labor. Few preachers have ever visited our town who have commanded better attention and respect than has Eld. Towrey. His meetings were well attended by all de- nominations represented here and universal regret is felt that he did not remain with us longer. His logical and forceful presentations of the gospel as understood by the church he represents was revelation to many of our people. During his stay here something over $500 was pledged for the building of a church house and one new member re- ceived into the church, the ordinance ot baptism being administered at the rail- road reservoir by Eld. Wells on Sun day afternoon. Eld. Towrev agreed to return here to hold two or three weeks meeting in August.
 Later: Since the above was written we learn that Eld. Towrey was taken ,,,:&, oor;o,clxy ,ll and oopfpaH fO bic
