Officers Have Hard Time.

Many accidents were narrowly av-
erted Saturday during the auto and
motor cycle races. One small girl ran
across the track in front Of the
Erickson machine and was missed by
only a few inches. Officers were un-
able to keep the crowd back who con-
tinually crowded on to the track be-
fore the machines which were ap-
preaching at full speed. Officials feel
fortunate that nc serious accidents
resulted from the foolhardiness of
many of the people.

Dolly ketzier Company.

The Dolly Ketzler Company closed weeks engagement at the School Chapel last Saturday night and left Sunday for Leslie where they will play all this week. This company consists of nine people, all trained and seasoned actors and their repertoire consists of the best and latest plays. The theatre going people of Green Forest were all highly pleased with the class of enter tainment furnished throughout the week. But the most important feature of the Ketzler Company was their con- duct both on and off the,stage. Each one of them conducted himself as a lady or gentleman and the old mem bers found a hearty greeting among their many friends here made on their former engagement, while the new members proved themselves equally as popular. Ketzler often proved himself a prince of good fellows, who knows how to deal with the public, and treat ing everybody courteously and friendly.
 The Ketzler Company will always find friends in Green Forest when they find it convenient to return here, and we have their assurance that Green Forest will remain on their list of good towns which will be booked at the proper time.
