NEW PAPER FOR GREEN FOREST

e L. L!
 Green Forest is soon to have q new newspaper, according to current re- ports, Ed. J. W. Fairchild having been called to this field, as he doubtless feels, to supply a long felt want.
 That Green Forest is not a two-paper town is self-evident fact. A second paper proposition was tried once under far more favorable conditions than exist at the present time.
 There isn' | a town twice the size of Green Forest in the state that supports two papers, outside of the county seats, where the county printing contributes largely to the office receipts.
 Leslie, with more than three times the population of Green Forest and more than a dozen times the amount of business, found the task impossible, and just last week some of the leading business men shouldered the burdens and consolidated the two papers in order that the town may have one re- spectacle, self-sustaining newspaper.
 1t has always been a struggle for two papers to exist in Eureka Springs But for heroic injections by some indi- viduals seated at the federal pie count CT, The Times would have turned up it's toes q long time ago.
 SpFingdale with her 20o0 population has never been an inviting field for q second paper, yet Editor Stafford is q mortal man and has failed signally to please everybody. A score of just such instances could be sighted,
 So far from being good two-paper town is Green Forest thatit is in fact q poor one-paper town. As an exclusive business proposition a newspaper office here would be next to a failure. While the town has some live business men, as a whole less money is invested in ad- vertising here than there is in nearly any other town of its size that could be named Over half of the merchants do, you might say, no bidding for trade through the medium of advertisements, and 1t is not because of their feelings toward the editor either.
 People who spend money for adVer- tisements are not swayed by sentiment. They are after results. The time has long since passed into oblivion when newspapers are patronized as objects of sweet charity.
 Regarding the subject of competi- ton, however, The Tribune recognizes that this is free country. For this very reason, in fact, we expect to re- main in business at the old stand. If, however, fate should prove to be against us, and we should come out second best in the struggle for the survival of the fittest, we will have no complaint to offer. Like the proverbial Arab, we will fold our tent and silently steal away.

Of the defects that are now causing the people of Carroll county worry and expense over their land titles is directly due to the work of incompetent Notaries and Justices of the Peace.
 Not one man in twenty who sets himself up as a convey ancer knows anything about how to comply with the tech nical requirements of the law in the preparation and eXecu- tion of instruments etfecting land titles.

The non-appearance of Miss Cynthia
was uppermost in her thoughts. and
she seemed possessed OF an inexhaust.
ible store of admiring anecdotes Of
that disturbing young person. There
was In his mind a s%neaking suspicion
nay, a shame-faced certainty-that
his own presence was the cause OF
her seeming neglect of Miss Selma
Lue, and his conscience hurt him.
Bother the girl! Why should she pass
him In the lane as II he were non
existent and manage to convey an
impression of his utter obnoXlousness

glimpse of her in the distance? He
was of her world and accustomed to

and was in the habit of receiving un-

shining through the dirt on her little
face. Amt he Just the cutest

BY this time they had arrived at
