motorists who are familiar with motor

BerryviIIe Sadly Licked.

The Berryville ball team got licked good and plenty by the Green Forest Browns on the local diamond last Sat urday afternoon, the score standing the enormous proportions of twenty seven to seven in favor of the Browns, only eight innings having been played
 All this was done, too, in the face of the fact that Berryville had "salaried" pitcher, Coker of Golden, Mo-, whose record heretofore has ranked him high up as ball player.
 It is needless to say that the Browns were all covered up in glory over their success and now have abundant conf dence in their ability to win the third game, matched, the standing now being one and.
 The Berryville boys took their drub- ping good naturedly, proving them. selves to be gentlemen, if they couldn' I play ball.
 The Berryville line up was: Leach, Coker, Hammonds, Gentry, Hodge, R. Ingram, c. Ingram, Clarke, L. Ham monds.
 Green Forest players were: Cardiff, Coxsey, N. Walker, Burney, Jones, Cummins, A. Walker, Tate, and Hilton.

Light Plant Builders Encouraged.

Bert Morrow has been over from Fayettylle during the past week in consultation with the gentlemen here, who propose to put in an electric light plant.
 Mr Morrow is not only a well-versed electrician, but he has had much experi- ence at the business end of light and cold storage plants and is capable of figuring upon the proposition for all there is in it.
 A canvass of the town Saturday showed that our people are all eager to have the plant go in, practically every property owner and several of those who do not own property pledg- ing themselve to support the business by taking lights.
 The situation at the present time seems to be all that the parties behind the enterprise could ask and we can see no reason why the business should not be a go. There are several details to be worked out before any further announcement can be made upon the subject.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
LEE SMITH INJURED SY SLlDE-iN
 AT THE STEAM SHOVEL
Irwin Wilson, Laborer, Killed and Fred Hunter, Firenan, SeverlY Hurt.
 Shovel Badly Wrecked.

Green Forest was thrown into a fever of excitement Monday afternoon when a message was received that Lee Smith had been fatally injured by a slide-in at the steam shovel near Mar shall, and much relief was felt indeed by his relatives and friends when later dispatches took a more hopeful view of his condition.
 Master Mechanic Dolan at once started by motor car from Eureka Springs to the scene, wiring Mrs. Smith to join him here. Much to her relief upon reaching Mir. Smith at Il p. m., Mrs. Smith found the doctors very hopeful of her husband s condi ton and subsequent developments so far have justified their conclusion that he has excellent chances for complete recovery.
 He has severe injury upon the head that produced concussion of the brain, besides strain of his left leg.
 lrVln Wilson, laborer Tn the pit, was killed, being entirely submerged by the falling clay and gravel, and Fred Hunter, fireman, was also severely though not dangerously hurt. The steam shovel was badly wrecked and will be out of commission for some time to come.
 There is not a more thoroughly popu- lar man in railroad service than Lee Smith and his fellow workmen all along the line waited in breathless anxiety for particulars concerning his condition. It is needless to say that his relatives here are in the height of good spirits here over the news that comes almost hourly from his bedside.

What is the Population of Green Forest?

J. C. Harbert has completed the taking of the federal census of Green Forest and if we haven't missed our guess, the official figures will show inhabitants not far short of 1000.
 There are, however, points in figuring population according to the censns rules that will depreciate the figures consider able from what would seem they should be. All persons who have taken temp orary residence here on account of the school cannot be counted.
 This will cut us down to the tune of several score, while the corporation line cuts off quite few that appear to reside in town. With these points against us it is possible that the showing will not be in excess of 700.
 A very noticeable fact the enumerator says is that Green Forest is town of small families. Almost third of the homes have no children at all, while three is about the average where there are children.
 It is considered safe rule to figure five people for each legal voter in a community, but this rule will not work in Green Forest. This condition is due to the fact that the young people, boys especially, have left home for the purpose of securing imployment. When Green Forest becomes a manufacturing center, she will support larger families, consequently a larger population in proportion to the number of homes.

Harrison Railroad Talk.

For the past few days, M. L. Mardis and J. L. Dowdy, committee of two sent here by the people of Clarksville, the present proposed terminus of the St. Louis, Ark & Gulf By, formerly known as the Harrison Mineral Belt Railroad.
 As represented by Messrs. Mardis and Dowdy, we have interested in this proposed line of railroad, E. L. Tobie, who is a builder of railroads. MT. Tobie comes recommended by the officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. He claims to have monied men back of him, who will finance and build this line if the Me Clintock report can be verified. Now, we have reason to believe that the McClintock report is substantially correct, and we should be willing to back up our proposition for line of railway from St. Louis to Clarksville, via Harrison.
 That there will be a north and south railroad built through this country, no one doubts, but will it be built by way of Harrison? It is a fact that there has been from two to a half dozen corps of engineers surveying for a north and south railroad through this section and only in two instances have they touched Harrison. Last February there were several corps of engineers working on line south of Harrison and one corps at that time was survey ing the road from Yellville to Dodd City. The people who are behind this work are dangerous to the interests of Harrison, for the reason that no one knows who they are, and it is evident that Harrison is not being given any consideration by them. At the present tune, there are two or more corps of surveyors at work on a north and south line through Searcy. There is room for but one through line, and the first one built in will cut out all others, for the reason that money could not be interested in a second enterprise. We must be awake to our interests and make the greatest effort possible to obtain the attention and interest of people who have the money to build railroads.
 Messrs. Mardis and Dowdy went to Jasper Thursday, and will visit all principal points on the line while they are out.
 We have some confidence in the situation and feel that out of all this interest and agitation will come the much needed railroad in the near | future Harrison Times.

About the Mule Foot Hog

The Tribune editor has all his life heard of the mule-footed hog but up to this time he has evaded onr sight. We have been inclined to credit the story of the existence of such animals to a myth, but the following article clipped from an eastern paper indicates that there is just such a hogship in this wide world and that he is no mean hog when you come to size him up:
 This authority says "The mule-foot hog derives the name from the foot, which is solid, like a mule or horse. They are bred principally in nearly all the southern and the western states and in the last few years have been shipped into the eastern states to breeders, who are dropping other breeds for these.
 They are preferred by many on ac- count of their immunity from hog chol- era and their great hardness.
 "In many states these hogs have been regarded as 9 curiosity, although the people who raise them are plain money-mahing farmers and hold on to them for their own use. In the last few years two record associations have been formed, both of which are recog- nized by the government.
 ''The breeders of these hogs are now crossing the different families, and some have secured hogs equal to any breeding in this country. They attain weights equal to the Poland -Chinas or Ducoc-Jerseys and as bred by the best breeders easily attain weight of 600 to 800 pounds. The color is usually solid black, sometimes black with white spots.
 "As to belonging to the lard or bocon type, they make the best of bacon, having two distinct, heavy streaks of lean meat in the sides and bellies. But they get very fat if fed like the lard hogs. think they are 6 happy medium between the two types.
 ''They are very quite and very easy to handle and good rustlers and grazers and can take care of themselves much easier than most breeds, since they seem to inherit tendency to look out for themselves if turned out in the woods or on pasture. And they will make good growth turned out in this manner, but will not fatten if not fed grains or slops. They will weigh at one year $50 pounds and if forced probably much more.
 "There are instances where the mule foot hogs were put in pens with dead and dying hogs of other breeds affected with hog cholera. They all ate and slept together, and in some cases the mule foots ate the cholera carcasses, but none of them were reported to be lost from hog cholera.
 ''In Ohio veterinarian made a test with pure bred recorded mule foot SOW by injecting hog cholera blood. The split footed hog died in few days. The mule foot did not and is still alive and raising mule foots. A number of mule foot hogs have been put into cholera herds during the last fewyears, but none of them have reported any JOSS of the mule foots, though the SD lit hoof hogs have died. do not think that having solid foot would make them immune from cholera and do not know what does, but up to the present time the full blood mule foots have stood the test If they were not cholera proof their disposition, quick growth, easy feeding and hardness put them up on @ level with the very best animals of any breed in this country"

Green Forest Folks in California

The Tribune editor is in receipt of a very interesting letter from J. H.. Lawrence of Orange, Calif., a former Green Forest boy, who is now a prosperous real estate dealer in his home city, being at the head of the Orange Realty Co.
 He tells us of a recent visit he made to Stockton, Calif., on which occasion he was guest at the homes of Dr. D. F. Ray and Dr. Ellis Harbert, both former residents and physicians of Green Forest.
 He says Dr. Ray took him in his auto for a whirl over the city and later to his residence where he was delightfully."- y entertained by Mrs. Ray and three daughters, the leading feature of which was an old-time dinner. In the after noon he was a member of party for a 30-mile joy ride over the fine country surrounding the city of Stockton.
 Later he was called for by Dr. Ellis Harbert and was shown through his finely equipped offices and taken to his beautiful newly furnished $10, ,000 home, the furnishings in which cost half as much as the building itself. He says Dr. Harbert has an ideal home, which is made extremely happy by the queenly lady who presides over it.
 For himself MT. Lawrence says he is enjoying an excellent business and incidentally remarks that he will be pleased to meet anybody from this section who happened to wander towards the Pacific coast.
