HOMER M. FOSTER

In reviewing the business in- terests of town, there is no more pleasent task for a news paper man than to make m antion of man who is "onto his job. !" It is therefore special pleasure to THE TRIBUNE to include Hom- CT M. Foster among those to whom we give personal mention. Mr. Foster cams to Green Forest about eight years ago and what time he has not been engaged in the capacity of commercial trav- eler, selling groceries to mer- chants, he has been engaged in the retail grocery business here and has always enjoyed most excellent trade. Recently Mr. Foster retired permanently from the road and purchased the  business of the the Green Forest Grocery Company, which busi- ness he founded about eight years ago. s, The care and display of the stock in this establishment would be creGitaole in a city of the first class. Mr. Foster is er . joying a splendid business and there is every reason 10 believe that he will attain the success in the future that is justly due such enterprise as he has always dis play

DIR. G. V. POYNOR

Green Forest has for one of it's resident physicians one of the we'll known medical men of the state in the person of Dr. G. V. Poynor, who, with other members of the State Medical Board, is en- trusted with the respon sibility of passing upon the qualifications of all persons applying for license for the practice of medicine with in the limits of the state of Ar kansas. In addition to this Dr. Poynor has continuously held the position of local surgeon of the Missouri & North Arkansas Rail- way since the commencement of the operation of the road through Green Forest. This position was entirely unsought by Dr. Poynor and came to him wholly on &C., count of merit. It would indeed be a waste of time to speak fur ther of the qualifications of pr. Poynor in the profession of his life work.
 As local physician, he has enjoye d as lucrative a practice as the healthful condi tion of the community will per- init, since his location here twelve years ago.
 The fact tn at he h a { been a member of the public school board for several years speaks more fer his standing II his town and community thar we could say. THE TRIBUNE is glad to accor5 space for a per. sonal mention of Dr. Poyuor.

 His trade in four is especially large. He handles none but the best grades, buys for cash in carload lots and is in position to quote lowest prices.

 This is now the universal rule and no business man, thinks of purchasing land upon any other terms.
 MT. Russell, aside from being a most successful and highly es- teemed business man. is a courte- ous and affable gentleman and has played an important part in the upbuilding of our prosper ous little city.
 He has been resident of this town and county practically all his life, and for fifteen years was associated with his brother, A. J., who is now the efficient Circuit Clerk of Carroll county, as edit or and publisher of THE GREEN FOREST TRIBUNE.

GREEN FOREST PRODUCE
 co.

Our review of the business men and business interests of our flourishing little city would, in d eed, be imco mplete did we omit to mention the above ramed firm of popular and well known pro- duce dealers.
 They are, beyond doubt, the most extensive dealers in farm produce in this section and dur ing the years they have been established in Green Forest they have paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to the people of this section.
 This business is of great im- portance and benefit to the farm CTS and poultry raisers of the sur- rounding country as well as to our city, drawing an immense annual volume of trade here from all over this section.
 Perhaps few stop to think of the benefits such business con- fers upon a town.
 Were it not for such concerns. tens of thousands of dollars, would be lost to the towns in which they are located.
 MT. J. B. Harden stands at the head of this concern and he has beyond question, done as much to encourage poultry raising as any other in northern Arkansas, and the title of the "Poultry King" would not be inappropri- ately applied to him.
 In the conduct of this business, he is associated with Mir. F. c. Papendick of St. Louis, one of the largest commission men of that city, which gives him ex- cellent facilities for the handling of farm products for which he is always ill the market, prepared to pay the highest price.
 Personally, MT. Harden is man of the highest honor and integrity and a gentleman with who. it is apleasure to do business.

to every detail protecting the interests of customers.
 Looking at this store from the peoples standpoint it must be said that it is a great money saver to the public. The facilities for buying and meeting the wants of the people are all that capital, experience and enterprise combined can se- cure.
 The stock now on hand IS one of the largest and best ever brought to the town and em- braces dry goods, notions, ladies' and gents furnishings, hats, shoes, clothing, groceries, etc.
 They have but one price, less the usual cash discount, and a child can deal here to as good advantage as the most exper- fenced buyer. The large quan- tity of goods handled here keeps the stock constantly turned over, and we have illustrated the re- suit of quick sales and small profits and goods always new and up-to- date.
 Itis just such men as Messrs. Coxsey & Co. that have made Green Forest the prosperous little city that it is.

 He is also a Notary Public and expert conveyancer and gives special attention to the drawing of deeds, mortg gage5, contracts and all papers pertaining to the transfer of realty. Collections also receive prompt and careful attention at his hands.

 DIR. R. P. SPURLIN.

c. c. O'NEAL & co.

This company needs no intro duction to the trade of Green Forest but as one of the leading hardware and furniture compa- nies of this section, and as one of Green Forests most solid and prosperous firms, we wish to say but a few words in it's behalf.
 No house of it's kind stands more deservedly high in the es- timation of the trade than does that of c. c. O'Neal & Go.
 It's proprietors are gentlemen who have so conducted the busi- ness as to wio the esteem and confidence of the trade, not only in this section, but far outreach- ing, and their good name and sound business judgment extend far beyond the confines of their trade territory, and year by year, the reputation of the house adds increasing business.

SOUTHERN GOVERNORS
Vigorously Defended by w, J. Bryan in
the Commoner.

Lincoln, Neb, Aug. IS.-The South
ern governors who have been resisting
the efforts of Federal Judges to suspend
the State laws at the behest of railroad
corporations have strong sympathizer
in William J. Bryan, who devotes the
first page of his paper, The Commoner.
this week to defense of the Southern
executives. Under the head of Raising
a False Issue The Commoner says:
Error always employs deception.
Nothing is more fatal to false doctrine
than to have it clearly stated, and the
defenders of false doctrine admit this
when they studiously misstate the issue.
A St Louis paper furnishes an illustra-
ton of this. In an editorial entitled
The New Irrepressible Conflict the pa
per takes Governor Glenn, Governor
Conner and Governor Swanson to task
for prosecuting the railroads. and de
clares that these governors are assisting

SANDERS SOUIRMING.

Once again Sanders is explaining. ana
once again Sanders has been slandered.
However, this slandering of Sanders IS
by affidavits sworn to before judicial
authority. In substance, in his speech
in Franklin, John NJ Parker of New
Orleans, supporter of Theodore >
Wilkinson for Governor, stated on IN
formation obtained, that Sanders had de-
clared that he had the support of thir-
teen of the sixteen banks of New Or-
leans and all of the ward bosses except
two. This Impeachment was denied by
Sanders with an explanation when
failed to explain, whereupon Parker pro-
duced the proof by affidavits of two gen.
tlemen, reliable and respected and whose
veracity is unquestioned. On being con-
fronted with this proof, Sanders entered
general denial, alleging he has been
misunderstood. Perhaps, but many OF
the so-called misunderstanding 1nvolv-
| ing Sanders and his combinations in the
control, if not purchase, of newspapers
and other things will be made perfectly
clcear before the primary nomination u II
January next. At this time it is sufflcien'
to FIRE pop-guns at Sanders simply to LEI
him appreciate the fact that the opPosi-
ton is not asleep, but when he hears the
rattle of the bate line supported witt
artillery he will feel like crawling int
lhis political hole and crying to Danzige'
to fill up the hole. !
