 For a strenuous life Alden Linen, residing four miles west of Green Forest, leads among all of the Tribune's acquaintances. Ever since the completion of the railroad here about seven years ago, MT. Linen has held a job on the track work, most of the time or perhaps all of the time, a. .'mem- Der of a bridge crew which has made it's headquarters in Green Forest. The fact of his long continued service speaks for itself as to his efficiency as workman. Through good, bad and indiffer- ent weather, Mir. Linen has gone back and forth from his farm be- fore and after working hours, most all of the time on foot, and has been one of the promptest men on the work. All this walk ing in addition to the class of work required of a railroad bridge workman means that Alden has been doing Ca double song and dance" all these years, but he is holding up under the pressure well. If he has Jagged any since the day he commenced you can't tell it on him. He says he gets an average of about five hours sleep, which :he thinks is ample for any man.
 Mrs. Gunter Nunnally arrived here Sunday and will remain at the home of her parents until Gunter can get things shaped up in changing their home from Leslie 10 Eureka Springs.
 Joe Ewing of Eureka Springs has been visiting at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Riley Martin on Route 3, and other relatives during the past week.
 The editor of this paper would be the last man on earth to know ingly say word to hurt the feel ings of any of it's subscribers or citizens, especially at time when the dark winged messenger of death has brought sorrows to the home, but from the beet of motives we desire to call the at tention of our readers to the GUS. tom of publishing "cards of thanks" It is a custom that has outgrown it's purpose, if it ever had one. When sickness and death comes to your home it is only natural that your friends and neighbors should do what they could to assist you. They would be heathens if they did not. They know from the expression of your face that you are thank ful and deeply appreciate all they do, and it is not necessary to rush into print and tell the world that your neighbors were kind when you were in trouble. The reading public are becoming tired of :the old stereotyped ''card of thanks" You can express to your friends by look or word your thankfulness in more impressive manner than you can in a column of cold type.
 After all there is a good deal in talk. Let a man talk dull times and it is infectious, every body talks dull times. Instead of rustling around to take care of what business there is, they all go sit down and nope over dull times. If a customer does hap pen to drop into one of these "dull times" stores he actually gets frightened out of one-half of what he expects to buy, be- cause things look blue. He catches the spirit of the store and resolves to hang on to all his money with death grip, even if his business goes to pieces on ac- count of running short of goods to fill up the empty shelves. The bug-bear of hard times should be sat down upon. It is doing more to kill business than anything else. Tell 8 man he is sick, keep it up, and you will
