Ed Harris, the Farmer.

A visit out to the Tanner place in the Allen Hollow Sunday convinced us that Ed Harris is something of a farmer. He moved out there in January and has succeeded in accqmulating a pair of nicely caIloused hands and has learn ed to wear overalls with becoming dig nity.
 He has not only raised a good crop of corn and grass, but has a barn in pro cess of erection that takes in a great big slice of out-of-doors. He says he needs it to hold his second crop of hay.
 Mrs. Harris has succeeded nicely in raising crop of turkeys and chickens and if winter don't find good stock of products on the place, it will be because it is carried away by the continued treshets that persist in playing havoc in the valley out that way The whole place was flooded on Saturday by tor rents off the hill, washing down the yard fence and playing the mischief generally.
 Mrs. Harris has been having trouble with her turkeys on account of the troop, which has been staying them equal to the merciless thanksgiving time, but post mortem examination of one of the victims revealed the cause and she has been operating on the heads, with good results.

Sudden Death of 6. s. Firestone

The people of Green Forest were profoundly shocked and grieved when the word was spread shortly afternoon Friday that Sanford Firestone was dead.
 Few people knew of his illness and scarcely no one was aware that he was seriously ailing He had been away from his place of business during the week, but he was able to be up and around most of the time.
 It was only few hours before his death that he was seized with heart failure and gradually grew worse until he expired
 Mir. Firestona was not a strong man physically, nor never had been. He suffered an injury when child that stopped the growth of his spine and made him a weakling. His physical condition did not interfere with his mental development, however, nor rob him of the kindly disposition that made him genial companion and pleasant in his business dealings. He was de- voted member of the Christian church, as he preferred to cali it, the Church of Christ. The nights were never too dark nor pressure of business too great for him to go out to attend to the af- fairs of his church. He was pillar of his congregation that will be sadly missed.
 Deceased was 56 years old, his birth day having occurred eight days previous to his death He leaves a wife and two sons Adrian and Timothy, both of whom are yet of tender age, who will miss the counsel denied them by the sudden taking away of their father The terrible blow has prostrated the family with grief and the bereft com panion refuses to be comforted.
 Funeral services were held at the family residence on Arch street at two o'clock, p. m., Saturday, being con- ducted by Eds. Wells and Binkley, following which interment was made in the Pickens cemetery.

M. B. Russell Here After Long Absence

M. B. Russell Here Alter Long Absence
 M. B. Russell, newspaper man and er8twhile soldier aad globe trotter, landed in Green Forest again midnight Tuesday, after an absence of some six years and will spend some time here visiting and reviewing old haunts.
 Green Forest has just about passed out of my knowledge" he remarked Wednesday morning as he strained his eyes for something he could recognize about the old town at which he was born and brought up toward manhood.
 "Three fourths of the faces and names are strange to me and really there is but little more familiarity about the town than there is in 3 thousand other places l have visited, which in- clude many towns and cities of the orient.
 But it seems good to be back Ev- cry fiber in my being was tickled when l landed back on America soil. No per son living, except he has seen for him self, as have, can appreciate the ex- ceptional opportunities and advantages of this country compared with those of the monarchial governments where i'm poyerished soil and congested condi- tions conspire to make life less than worth while
 People are inclined to think things are in bad way in this country, but it is all mistake The game of poli- tics disturbs things here occasionally and you have an overdose now. The people, however, are now to blame for the country getting 'balled up, more than anything else. They reveled in prosperity until they became intoxicat- ed and have lost their heads to the ex- tent of making all kinds of foolish in- vestments, buying automobiles, build ing eXtravagantly and doing thousand other things that bring tight money.
 America is a great country and should say that North Arkansas is worthy of place on the map. If the people could fully appreciate the op- portunities here and would go to work and develop them this would be a great country"
