Park Deal Closed.

The deal that has been on for some little time between the town officials and John Buell. was finally consummated last Saturday and now the city is the owner of the beautiful five-acre track known as the Denton grove, where several successful picnic functions have been held during recent years.
 The consideration was 650.00, one hundred and fifty being paid down, the balacne to be paid as the cash in the till of the city treasurer will premit.
 It is the purpose of the promoters of the deal to have the park improved as rapidly as possible, making it indeed the beauty spot that nature has evidently intended. Wires have been strung this week by the Green Forest Electric Light & Power Co. for the purpose of having the park lighted during the reunion.
 It is believed that the investement in the park can be made revune producer at least to the extent of keepingu up the expenses and saying for itself.

I Taking Calomel
 Is Dangerous

Calomel is powerful chemical made from people should be careful about it's use. The only sure way to avoid the danger of cal omel is to take no calomel
 Dodson's Liver Tone, vegetable liquid of pleasant taste, more than takes it's place. Where calomel shakes you up and shocks your liver and often makes you really sick, Dodson's Liver Tone, mild but effective, builds up and strengthens. It 'livens up the liver" You feel fine af ter taking it.
 Dodson's S may be taken without any restriction of diet or habits. You can give it to your children with fine re- suits.
 Get large bottle for 50 cents at Shaffer's Drug Store and if it doesn't t do all you think it ought-if it doesn t make bilious spells mere trifles-if it doesn't ''liven up your liver" your money will be waiting for you and be returned with smile. adv

Returned from Colorado.

w. G. Coxsey and wife landed back in Green Forest Friday night after an absence of month, having made a trip by automobile to Colorado, their principal objective points having been Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak.
 Several points of interest were visited by MT. and Mrs. Coxsey, in- cluding Pueblo. Monitou, the General Palmer 14000 acre ranch, Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, Stratton Park, and returning they came through the village of Granada, where is located J. L. and J. B. Rhodes. They spent day and night there.
 The entire journey of 2200 miles was made without mishap of conse- quence. Aside from the gasolene and lubricating oil used, Bill says the ex- pense of keeping up his Ford was $1 .95, and some of the roads on the Colorado end were equally as much of fright as those encountered in this part of Arkansas. The roads of portions of Kansas, Missouri and Colorado they declare are something imm en SC fol swift travelling.
 Bill says the only unpleasant fe ature of the trip and that was a very sad one, indeed-was when they reached Joplin on their return Thursday where the excitement was so intense oyer the wreck They visited the scene of the disaster and also viewed the charred remains in the morgue at Neosho. There were no bodies in the number that were in tact. In fact, that there was little or nothing to remind one that the form2 lown had been human beings at all They were merely charred bulksS flesh, often minus part or all off mks. ,somek .~s tE head. The ro .ins of the children contained nothing but the trunks.
 In the party with Mr. and Mrs. Cox sey were MT. and Mrs. w. G. Hanbury and children and Miss Ollie McNiel, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Denny and MT. and Mrs. Rufus Norric and children of Berryville.
 MT. and Mrs. Coxsey think that touring the country by automobile is the most delightful experience yet discovered.

DEATH OF CONDUCTOR NIGH
 OLAS.

The tragic death of Conductor s. A. Nicholas has brought sadness to more hearts perhaps than would a similar fate of any other employe of the M. & N. A. road MT. Nicholas was not only exceedingly popular, but his ac- quaintance covered wider range than that of any other man connected with the line, with the possible exception of conductor Ross.
 MT. Nicholas had been with the road since the opening of the extension east of Eureka Springs. He was the conductor on the train that laid the steel as Engine 8 pushed the car con- taining the rails to the front. By his geninel, courteous manner, he won a personal friend in every acqu aintance.
 With all his affability and congeni- ality, it is admitted by all that more careful railroader never pulled signal cord on the "North Arkansas. ,"
 In personal conversation with The Tribune editor once, MT. Nicholas dis cussed the uncertainty of railroad life and remarked that he would be only too glad to surrender his position for any honorable calling that was equally renumerative.
 "Nick, " as everybody up and down the line called him, was one of that class bf ra1road employees that worked under the emphatic rule of taking the safe side in case of doubt. and no amount of evidence can be produced that will convince the people who knew s. A. Nicholas, that he for any reason failed to observe an order, as has been said that he did in passing Tiptop Ford on last Wednesday night.
 In the death of Conductor Nicholas the patrons of the M. & N. A. road have lost valuable friend.

No, no, The Tribune has no hopes of

No, no, The Tribune has no hopes of it's opposition to proposed Act No. defeating it. The a1easure is backed by the people slio "do things" in Ark ansas politics and the publicity meas is apparently going over just like the appropriation of $80,O went over infhe legislature in 1912, when the editors 'got ther'n" for the publication of the I. and R. acts and amendments. The Tribune is only placing itself in a position to say '1 told you so" after the graft has been perpetrated upon an unsuspecting public.
