Ed. J. B. Rose will go to Dunagan Springs, Mo-, next week to assist Eld Cal Standlee in revival there.
 Hon. Rollo S. Granger was mixing with some of his friends in Green Forest Tuesday, out on i his finial roundup of his cam paign for the Eureka Springs post office.
 The ladies of the Home Mis- sion society will give an old fashioned box supper at the Methodist church Saturday night. Come everybody with boxes filled with goodies.
 The improvements Mrs. Alfrey has had made on the Star Hotel are very handsome, adding greatly to the convenience of the house. The office has been en- larged by taking in the hall next to the dining room. The build ing has been overhauled and re- papered, making it very in. viting place for the travelling g public.
 Rev. J. H. Ruble did not get away to annual conference which is in session at Marrillton this week, but instead went to Belle- fonte to place monuments at the graves of two of his deceased children. He has little idea as to his future location, his "fate" resting solely in the pleasure of the conference. He leaves Green Forest church in good shape and will carry with him the benedic- tions of our entire population.
 As The Tribune is being print ed the Republican County Gen. tral Committee is in session at Berryville for the purpose of in- dorsing a candidate for the Eu- reka Springs post office. The contest between Hon. R. S. Granger and Clio w. Miller for the place has grown quite warm and the friends of each claim to see victory. Whichever way it results Eureka Springs will get a good P. M.
 J. N. Pruitt, for some years past a merchant at Liberty Hill out on Route 1, has decided to come to town and do business on larger scale. He has traded his farm out there to Ben Har- bert for a bunch of goods and has opened up in the Ferguson building opposite The Tribune old office. Mr. Pruitt also got the Blaine Rhodes, or Miller pro- perty, in the deal with Harbert.
 Mrs. Belle Hensley, residing out near Dry Creek, writes The Tribune, claming to have been instrumental in interesting the Tulsa oil men, who are to pros- pect for oil here. She says she sent clipping from The Tribune to her stepson at Okmulgee, who is working in the oil field there, and that he showed the article to an oil man there who started the development scheme. Tbis "theory" as to the inception of the movement rather conflicts with the st ny we published from Mir. Payne, but both agree that The Tribune "did it," so we will not dispute as to the details.
 A quiet wedding was solem- nized at the home of the bride in Green Forest last Sunday, the contracting parties being Oscar Wilson, son of A. B. Wilson, and Miss Ruth Wise, daughter of E. Wise. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. ). H. Ruble, inn mediately following which the happy husband and wife depart ed for Springfield, Mo-, on their honeymoon. Mr. Wilson and Miss Wise were among our most popular young people and they have the hearty good wishes of a wide circle of friends. They will mako their future home in Harrison, where Mr. Wilson holds a position with the Harri- son electric light and ice plant.
 In our announcement column today appears the name of c. D.. Wall as a candidate for. Tax Col lector, subject to the will of the Democratic voters. MT. Wall has been a resident of Green Forest for several years, coming here from Madison county where he was born and raised. He has engaged in the mercantile and banking business here, in both of which capacities he has been successful. It would seem need less to suggest that he is quail fled for the duties of the office to which he aspires. He is a thorough gentleman and safe man to elect to any public trust. He will command strong fol- lowing in this race.
