 Taking everything into considera. tion, no town could be built upon a firmer foundation than that of an agricultural and horticultural commu- nity.
 I was talking to gentleman from the East while on a trip South last spring, who asked if we had any mines or manufacturing plants about Green Forest. I told him we had not Well these are the two main features that go to make up the prosperity of a town or community was his reply.

 Fully half of the business houses around the square have been built new or rebuilt during this period, and most of this improvement has in fact been made during the past five or six years.
 The year 1913 records the compile ton of five business houses, including the First National Bank building, that would be creditable in city, while three more of the same character are in process of construction, and as many more in contemplation, which will be built without doubt before the end of another year.

 Green Forest is a good town to live in It is populated by a refined class of citizens and is healthful and pleasant. Located as it is on the crest of the Ozarks, 1,345 feet above sea level, the weather is seldom too cold or too hot for enjoyment, while the sparkling pure waters afforded by wells, and springs in the country round about, are as healthgiving as are to be found.

Resolutions in Regard to Elk.
pense of Shook School,

In view of the great liberelity
of Mr.. K. L. Hampton and his
associates of the Tennessee Con-.
solidated Coal Co., in assuming
the entire expense of the main
tainance of Shook School during
the months Of April and May for
the last few years, so that the
patrons could send their children
TO school for four months by pay
ing tuition for only two months;
Furthermore, as Mr.. Hampton
proposes that the Company will
pay the same amount ($73O O0)
as last year to support the school
during the months of April and
May, provided the Board of Edn-
cation will pay any amount that
should be necessary in excess of
the $4,000 to carry on the school,
80 that the last two months
(April and May) shall be free to
oil the patrons; Therefore re-
solved:
First, that we, the Board of
Education of Shook School, do
hereby accept this splendid offer
of Mr.. Hampton on the condition
above mentioned.
Second, that we will increase
the tuition 90 cents month for
each grade during February and
March, so that we can comply
with this request and have money
to reinsure the building, which
must be done soon.
Third, that we, representing
the citizens of Tracy City, do
hereby declare the sincere and
hearty appreciation of all our
people, for this generous interest
in the education of our children.
Fourth, that a copy of these
resolutions be furnished each of
our local papers for publication,
and that copy be sent to Mr..
Hampton, the president of the
Company.

TRACY CITY WINS.
Contest Before Legislature for
Branch Courts Ends in Vic
tory for Tracy City.
[by Martin Marugg.]


the legislature last Tuesday even
ing, establishing a chancery and
circuit court at Tracy City, caus-
ed much rejoicing in our town.
The passage of the bill was
very ably and strenuously oppos-
ed by a few of the citizens of AL
lament, who fought it at every
turn. The closest call the bill
had was before the House Judici-
airy Committee last Friday when
at q hurried call meeting of that
committee it stood 6 to 5 for
recommendation of the bill.
Both the Senate and House Of
representatives passed the bill
without a dissenting vote,
Much credit Is due to our Sena-
tor, j. V. Walker, and our Rep
resentative, T. K. Wilson, for
their loyal support of the meas
ure. A bunch of devoted Tracy
Citians chaperoned the bill in its
passage through the committee,
guarding It's every step and
throwing aside the obstacles laid
in its way by its opponents.
In a final effort to kill the bill
It's enemies withdrew their OPP
position and sought to load it
down with unconstitutional
amendments. In this they were
forestalled and the bill emerged
out of the smoke of legislative
combat of two weeks duration,
a full fedged, fair and mighty
Law.

among those who sacrificed much
Uime and saved no expense to Sc

Much credit is also due to many
others who were unable to lend
personal assistance at Nashville,
but helped materially IN other
ways to procure the passage OF
the bill.
Tracy City has many most in.

The best of feeling existed
throughout among the contesting
parties, and while Tracy City re-
jolces over the victory, we raise
our hats to our friends at Alta
mont and acknowledge that they
gave us good race and proved
worthy of our steel.

INSPECT APPLE ORCHARDS.
Anne. Horticulturists Pleased With
Treatment to Prevent Blister Canker.

Special to Times-Republican
Logan. July 5.-Prof T. j. Nancy.
of the horticultural department at
Amos. inspected the Chris Peterson
orchard here Thursday morning to de-
termfne the effect Of the treatment for
the prevention OF blister canker so
harmful to different varieties OF the
apple, especially the Ben. Davis. IN
western Iowa. The professors seemed
pleased over the effect OF the treat
ment given the Chris Peterson orchard
adjoining Logan on the north, early
in the spring of 1912. The treatment
Of the Peterson orchard consisted IN
removing the diseased portions and
following up with a chemical appllca-
ton. thorough pruning and tiilage.
Unless the unexpected happens, said
the professor, there will be between 80
and 10 per cent of normal crop IN
the apple orchards this season. How
ever. the quality of the nnsprayed or
chards will be poor as the worm ana
annie scabs are prevalent Professor
Nancy was decidedly of the opinion
| that unless farmers and fruit growers
| Of western Iowa took greater interest
in their orchards with reference to Gull
! tivating, pruning and spraying, Old or
chards would cease to exist In snort
time. He recommended that new or
chards be set out and that the old or
! chards be given greater attention ana
care in the future than in the past.
