CEDAR PICNIC DRAWS CROWD.

The picnic at Cedar Creek, near
Edge, yesterday drew large number
of people and a most enjoyable day
was spent. The crowd came from
Brazos, Robertson, Leon and Madison
counties.
A number of Bryan people were
present, including County Attorney
Lamar Bethea, Sheriff John d. Con-
lee and Law Henderson, who report
that the sentiment against Resolution
IS seemed unanimous.
Crops in that section are reported
to be as fine as were ever seen, good
corn being practically made. Many OF
the farmers OF that section are for
eigners of a thrifty and desirable
class. They are we'll educated, intelli'
gent citizens, and rapidly adopt
American customs, and are successful
and progressive farmers.

WE NEED CHANGE.
ffIYFrE

Il is not the discUmforts OF home
that make us long for the woods and
streams, the mountains and The sea
shore, but that uncomfortable desire
for change. Change is necessary for
our wellbeing. Were It not so, we
would not have a change of seasons
four times a year, the sun would not
yield his sceptre to the stars of night,
and the flowers of summer would not
give place to the bleakness of winter.
We need change, we have to have it
to pay car far and for the iceman.
Oatmeal is all right for breakfast, but
at dinner we want to change to some
thing that will stick to our ribs. We
change our winter derby for sum-
mer straw, and while the amber foams
beautifully in July and August, it's
not very warming in December. We
must have change. A change OF
shirts is not bad occasionally, espe-
cially at this season of the year. The
effects of change are more imaginary
however, than real, and now all you
people who cannot get away to the
"mountings," sleep on the back gal
lery for few weeks and let the mos
quitos and other insects work on you,
and you'll feel like you've had an out

The Horse For the Farmer.

Farmers need a balanced type OF
horse. No kind Of work demands n
greater number Of qualifications. In
hot weather and in cold, on good roads
and in mud. with light machinery or
an empty wagon and with the heavy
gang pillow or the big load Of corn. the
farm horse must cover a considerabl
distance each working day. Weight
alone will not accomplish results any
more than will speed alone. Farm
horses to be efficient with modern
heavy machinery and loads must be
big, but the size must be combined
with a balanced conformation. Seven
teen hands is good height We
know that horses Of this height and
Weighing around 1000 to 1900 pounds
in moderate flesh can have active, grace
full locomoton. and they easily fatten
to weigh q ton.-Breeders' Gazette.

LL Q,oH For Many Years Conspicuous JOIlM Ae OuCA Figure in Green Forest

It would be impossible to make an estimate of the number of lead pen cilS the writer was worn out during the past twenty years telling Tribune readers something about John Buell., for not only have We been compelleG to make mention of every time he has moved, but he has been the butt-end of our Jokes for all these years, this being the first time we have ever had occasion to write seriously of him as a citizen.
 When we drop back to the days when John wore a little patch Of chin whiskers on his chin and carried tune fork in the right sidepocket of his homespun jeans vest, and carefully survey his movements for a quarter ot a century, we are compelled to admit that in him we find one of the ideal characters of mankind.
 It has often been said, so often, in fact. as to become an axiom, that an active business man is compelled to make enemies, and our own extensive
The Green Forest tribune., 1913-12-19

observation and personal experience prove that such is only too true-eX- cept in the case of John Buell.. How he has done it, you may search me, but it is a fact that if John Buell. has an enemy on the face of the earth, his or her name or postohice address is not known.
 This happy situation of MT Buell. has not been because of his do-nothing- ness either. He has been an active man all the days of his life, having transacted as much public business as any man who has ever been associated in q business way in Green Forest.
 Beginning his career in Green For est, Mir. Buell. was grocery merchant way back in the eighties, and from that start he has been associated with most every kind of enterprise, eX- cept the publication of a newspaper and the whiting of goods boxes on the corner.
 He served as postmaster under liar risons administration and the record

Green Forest is fortunate in that it is linked up with twenty other leading .towns of North Arkansas with a Fair SHore," and this good fortune is made exceptional in that the Green Forest store is under the management of that p{rince of merchants and good fellows, Steve Michell, who is a graduate in the art of selling general merchan- |dise
 It is the purpose of this chain of stores to reduce the business of sell ing goods to an economic science. by buying the various lines handled in car load lots, receiving such discounts, buying for cash, as to make it i'm practicable for competition in many instances to meet it's prices except at a loss.
 This idea originated with F. R. Michell and S. C. Michell, Sr., of Fair No. 1, at Harrison, who embarked in business at that place in a modest way in 1900. The scheme has been a signal success, otherwise it could not have grown to such proportions, there being now twenty stores in operation with capital invested aggregating fully half million dollars.
 Steve Michell, the Green Forest manager, was schooled in the business under his uncle F, R. Michell, and his father s. C. AIichell, Sr., and he knows the selling art to finish, which he declares is nothing more nor less than letting the goods sell themselves, after judicious advertising has been made to bring the customers in Every

he made for accommodating the peo- pie makes the position a hard one to fill yet.
 For some six or seven years he was cashier of the Bank of Green Forest and the only complaint we ever heard against him was the one made by the stockholders and patrons of the bank when he resigned the position and re fused to hold it longer, not even with an offered increase in salary.
 Fer some two or three years follow ing his retirement from the bank, Mr Buell. was associated with c. C. O'Neal in the hardware business, the firm sell ing out to the Green Forest Hardware Co., in 1910.
 John has been forced by his party to run for county office a time or two and as mean a thing as was ever said of him on the stump by the opposi- tion was: "If John Buell. should ever be made to realize that he had cheated anybody out of a single cent, he would go off and commit suicide"
 Five of six hundred political odds however, was too much for Johns SOOQ name to overcome, anu edCl tlllt he met himself retiring to private life by only a few votes.
 But this brief mention does not cover the eventful career of John Buell. by any means. He has had a little private industry of his own all along in buying and selling residences. Be- ing able to own but one house at a time during the first several years of his operat tions, in order to carry on this business, he had to sell the roof from over his head and forced to move every time he made a deal. He merely moves now when he trades by force of habit.
 But on every premises that John Buell. has owned he has left his inn print. The fence has been rebuilt, the yard leveled and converted into a lawn, stone or concrete walks have been built, flowers have been planted, the house remodeled or possibly re built and the place made so attrac'iv that somebody would want it. and just to be accommodating and for the profit realized, John would move out and go to begging away again to get another one in shape, and so it has run on un- til the present good day. It hasn't been six months since he secured a EeW location and at the present time
