WORK COMMENCED MONDAY
Kemp Mann Contracts to Complete
 Osage Road in Ninety Days.

Talk about the good roads spirit, there never was a bigger chunk of it wadded together in that much space in Arkansas than has been manifested in the building of a road from Green Forest to Osage,
 For a consideration of S3150, which amount has been pledged by the eiti- zens of Green Forest and Osage, Kemp Mann, with large force of hands, teams, scrapers and dynamite, is now at work building the road, and within ninety days, weather permitting, he expects to have the new highway completed and ready for occupancy.
 The new road starts at the Columbus Chaney old place, one half a mile above Fairview, and runs almost an air line across the ridges from Fairview, inter- secting the Highland road at Jabe Fletcher's, the new section covering a distance of six miles.
 The contract calls for the road bed to be 12 to 15 feet wide and to be of first-class construction.
 The new line will shorten the distance between Osage and Green Forest fully four miles. It leaves the Osage creek out entirely, except the one crossing at FairVieW
 Mr. Mann is skilled road grader, having been for twenty-five years a railroad contractor and grader in Kan sas and Oklahoma previous to his re- moval here in 1911.
 There is no doubt but what Mann will do the job correctly.
 With such start as the Osage road proposition has given this section, there is every reason to believe that the good roads era has arrived here to stay.

Do not wait until the thermometer is below zero and you must have it done it thoroughly good. Unpack today, ex- anime your clothes and we will make them as nearly new again as it possible to do.

HIS LIFE IS IN TIE BALANCE
pr. J. w. Poynor of Osage Proba-
 ply Fatally Injured Saturday.

Dr. J. W. Poynor, enc of the well known physicians of the county, was thrown from his horse at an early hour last Saturday morning, sustaining in juries that has placed his life in the balance with apparent slight chances for recovery
 The doctor, accompanied by his friend young Will Fultz, had gone out about four that morning with their dogs for little fox hunt, for which sport Dr. Poynor had a particular fondness, and when out in the woods some two miles from home, they came to a halt to listen for the dogs and while they were standing one of the dogs came trotting up and scared the doctor S horse, which was bit wirey any way, and the animal went to pitching, and after going distance of perhaps 100 yards the rider was thrown off against tree, his skull being fractured, hip dislocated and sundry bruises made upon his body.
 At last report the patient had given slight evidence of returning to consc- ousness, and there is very small hopes of his recovery.
 Dr. Erton Poynor son, was imme- diately summoned from Green Forest, and Drs. G. V. Poynor of Southwest City, Mo-, and l. M. Poynor of Berry vile, brothers, also hastened to his bedside, and all that medical skill can do is being done in his behalf, and the fact that he has survived thus far has lent the relatives slight encour- agement for his ultimate recovery.

Surprise Birthday Dinner.

One of the happiest events taking place in Green Forest in many day was the surprise birthday dinner given in honor of Mrs Nellie Sneed on last Saturday.
 By a cunning, little scheme on the part of her son ". L., Mrs. Sneed was induced to go out to spend the day with her sister, Mrs. Villines, and was called home by phone at eleven o'clock, being informed that her nephew Eld Ewing McCrac1en would be in on the noon train and desired to meet her and Mrs. Villines at the Sneed home for dinner. In response to the call Mrs. Sneed went home to find the place alive with her kins-people, with three tables spread, each containing roast turkey and an aggregation of other good things to eat that would drive one into desperate hunger to enumerate.
 There were fully fifty people present. including the Villines families, the Seitzes, Edgmons, CoXseys, Mrs. Dor cas Sneed and Carroll Stafford and wife and J. c. Jr.
 Mrs. Sneed was the recipient of number of useful presents, all of which she appreciated very much. She was almost overwhelmed with such mani festation of good will and appreciation from her family and relatives But it is certain that had demonstrations been several times as great, it would not have amply signiied the place that Mrs. Sneed fills in the hearts of her relatives and the people of Green Forest, for she is good woman in all that is meant by the broadest use of the term.

Probably the "severest" pounding that was ever administered in Green Forest was the one given Rev. Neal, the new pastor of the Methodist church, on last Friday night, when about 150 members of his congregation gathered at the parsonage, bringing all kinds of eatables, and other things that would help the family to become pleasantly domicled in their new home. The oc- casion was very enjoyable one and was complete surprise to the pastor, who had not even become aware that such customs were in vogue in his new field of labor
