 Green Forest.


 Friday, coming over fer the double purpose of seeing the reunion and ac- cepting an invitation of The Tribune editor to be the guest of honor at the ''Convention of Tribune Correspond ents" held at the editors home on that day.
 In Saturdays issue of The Times Echo appeared an extended report of Mrs. Moore's observations made during the day spent here, from which we are pleased to extract the following:
 "Our friend ]. L. Russell of The Green Forest Tribune has inaugurated plan which should broaden the scope until it brings about a higher class of journalism in all Arkansas.
 ''The Tribune has fifteen or more correspondents and each of these was invited to be the guest of their editor- in-ehief one day during the U. c. V. reunion. The last named reunion was for "reminiscences, while the one called by the progressive editor of The Trib- une was locking to the future
 'Mr Russell's guests reported at the reunion grounds, where the host had arranged to have dinner served by the Methodist ladies, who had a great spread of good things, chicken pie, chicken with dressing, with gil tha veg etables of the season, relishes, pies and cakes being served in abundance.
 "The convention of delegates went to the Russell residence about 2 p. m. The Russell home was of special inter est because of its completeness ii every detail, and the provision of every con- venience in making an ideal home. It is tastefully and prettily furnished and MT. and Mrs. Russell have everything | about them to make life happy.
 "The convention program was all more or less of g social nature, even the address of Hon. A. J. Russell and Editor Russell being so informal that one felt that they were only as talks from friend to friend.
 Editor Russell expressed apprecia- ton of his staff and gave 8 few thoughts of his vision for the future. The Trib- une has been a great factor for the up- building of Green Forest and many of the best enterprises and public conven- fences are the direct result Of his long labor of love- The Tribune is known as one of the best country newspapers published in the state.
 "A water melon cut was first, and, of course, formality was tabooed, for who ever heard of maintaining dignity amidst such surroundings Ice cream made of pure cream and the finest Of cake was served and as they were being eaten the photographer caught the group.
 ''There was 8 basket of mammoth peaches sent to the convention 'dele- gates with the compliments of Lee Ramsey. These peaches certainly looked like canteioupes in size and the sun-kissed tints surpassing arts power to produce.
 We congratulate Mr Russell upon the success of this convention and feel assured it will remain an oasqs in the memory of each one there.
 After the convention adjourned, MT. Russell took the writer over the city to see Green Forest. To one of the profession the first point of in- terest in town is the newspaper office, since it generally reflects the prosperity of its home. Taking this as an index, Green Forest must be enjoying a good trade and growth for The Tribune oe- cupies its own home-a handsome new building in the center of a bIocI, of up- to-date business houses. The Tribune has the First National Bank housed in it's building, the management of the new bank having headquarters there until the completion Of its own home, which is in the same block. The new bank building is beautiful structure, on the corner, built in a late style of architsc- ture, and finished in the most ap- proved fashion. Our townsman r. 0. Butt is the chief promoter of this inan- cial institution.
 "The grocery, dry goods, hardware, harness, furniture and drug stores are all well-kept with fall stocks. The square has been converted into 6 nice little park, which makes a nice resting place, and an occasional band concert there enliYens the business center.
 'Time was taken to call on our for mer townsWomaD, Mrs. [. s. Foreman. Like her home here, the Foreman res idence is known fer its hospitality and good cheer. The lawn is 8 beauty, but the exposure of all eyes is the grape arbor in the rear. Mr. Foreman has the most delicious grapes grown in this part of the state.
 'The cannesy is an extensive factory, fifteen car loads having already ship ped with several more car lots already canned. Peaches have been given the most attention so far but the tomato canning is beginning now in earnest.
