 The Tribune is just about smothered out thls week, so many correspondents having laid down on us this hot weath- CT.

 Ben Harbert and wife are absent this week orf fall trade buying expedi- ton, the trip including Fort Smith, Kansas City and St. Louis.
 Eld Rue Porter will preach at the Church of Christ Saturday night and Sunday next. Everybody come out and hear the boy preacher.
 Again it seems necessary to remind Tribune readers that obituaries and matters of like nature are not of gen eral interest, hence must be classed as advertising matter.
 w. A. Jenkins, cashier of the Bank of Alpena, was in Green Forest We'd nesday, looking prosperous and happy. Will says everything is moving about the right way about Alpena.
 Bill Coxsey was in Harrison between trains Sunday, having been called there in conference over a proposed business deal-the kind that are some times made on Sunday, you understand.

 That ice cream at Buell's parlor is guaranteed to be equal to the finest article ever was. It simply melts in your mouth. Try a dish and be more than convinced. Picnic and party sup plies always on tap.
 Having bought s. s. Buell's interest in the J. H. Buell. Lumber Go. it is absolutely necessary that we have a settlement m some form right away with every person indebted to the firm. Please give the matter prompt atten- tion. J. H. BUELL..
 A councilman asked us the other day if we favor putting the town in debt for fence around the town park. We assured him we do. We favor bonding borrowing, issuing scrip and everything else that will secure such needed im- provements.
 J. A. Phillips, the Springdale apple buyer, who has been buying in Green Forest for the past several years, was in Green Forest this week looking over the apple situation. He says the crop is light and is possible that he will not buy here this year.
 J. B. Reeves has been around the past week and has taken notice to the fact that there is quite nice crop of seedlings peaches. They will work fine as ''fillers" between tomato runs. If you have surplus of peaches see MT. Reeves and make arrangements.
 Mr. and Mrs. George Galloway did not tarry long in Texas, making their visit cover only space of two weeks. They report a nice time, however. MT. Galloway says that portion of Texas he visited has suffered greatly from the dry weather. Practically no corn will be raised.
 Only correspondents who are disposed to report with a degree of regularity are desired by The Tribune. A failure to report any week brings disappoint- ment. Hereafter we expect to cut out the paper to all correspondents who miss two successive weeks without sending in an excuse.
 Gus Usrey came in from Dexter, Tex, Wednesday and will do some visiting before the reunion. MT. Usrey is one of the faithful veterans, who does not let distance keep him away. He is enjoying good health and is eX- ceedingly happy to get back to the old standing ground.
 Miss Hettie Beck was up from Den yer to visit over Sunday with her sis ter Mrs. George Buell.. She will leave soon for Branson, Mo-, where she and her brother Oscar will engage in teach ing, Oscar having been selected as principal and she is teacher of the pri- mary department of the Branson school.
 A farmer inquired of us the other day what the prospect is to get that new fence around the park. We grinned sickly and said we didn't know He said he was blank good notion to hitch his team to the blank old fence and draw it out of town. We assured him he would be prosecuted to the | limit if he undertook such thing.
 The reunion ought to be great sue cess this year. This will be the only biz gathering of the season at Green l Forest and there is no reason for lack of interest on the part of the people. Let's make it big week in Green Forest. The crowds that will be in Green Forest on this occasion ought to be induced to spend some money with our merchants.
 Uncle Jesse McNemar is raising par ticular "Cain" about the way the town is growing up in weeds. He wants the people. the town authorities and every body to get busy and clean up. He sights them all to Scott street, where he has superintended the work from one end to the other, to see if it doesn look much better to have things look < T
