 J. c. Pinkerton. Green Forests new picture show man, came in Wednesday from Kimmundy, Ill.,, and will proceed to make himself at home and take life easy until the opera house is completed. Mir. Pinkerton proposes to give us a show second to none, even in the big cities, his equipment all bearing the grade l. Mrs. Pinkerton will join him in few weeks. It is certain that Green Forest has scored strong point Tn gaining the citizenship of such a llve Booster as Mir. Pinkerton. You remember that it was The Tribune Booster that brought him here.
 Eld. Sam Eaton, thirteen years ago pastor of the Green Forest Baptist church, is here this week conducting a short series of meetings, designed to be helpful in the way of church inter- est and support. Incidentally he is enjoying many hearty handshakes and visits with his old-time friends. It was during Eld. Eaton's pastorate that the Baptist church house was built and naturally he finds much delight in not ing the general improvements that have been made in the town since he was here. Eld. Eaton has gained much strength as speaker since he left here and those who are missing his sermons are missing much. He is accompanied by Mrs. Eaton and the tots-a boy and girl. Their home is at Marionville, Mo. To night (Thursday) will conclude the meeting.
 In letter to Lee H. Smith from his sister, Mrs. Ella Munster of Wollaston, Mass, we have the pleasSre of ex- tracting the following: wish might be with you on your electric light opening. Am glad mother can be with you. l know the opening will be more of success being honored by her presence. know you will be success ful. It is certainly fine for Green For est to have lights. It has been a long time since was was there, but have faint recollection of our farm and few other places there. We'll, Lee, do you recall the time about 20 years ago, when Coxey and his army passed in front of our house on Bonneville Street in Springfield, Mo-? We were in Washington City last week and spent several days and while there we saw the same Coxey. While he was not permitted on the capital steps he had crowd around him near by. The first time he went there he was arrest ed and put in jail for twenty days. He said he was getting better reception this time. We visited the capital build- ing, senate and house of representa- lives. Root of New York vas talking about the Panama canal tolls. Stayed few minutes at each place. Caller ies were open to the public. Visited printing and engraving buildi~Ts, watched the making of all stamps aA5 our bills. wish l could nuke money as easy as they did. Went through the treasury building, even to the basement where old bills are made into pulp. I am sending you sample of the pulp so you may see how 1t looks. Our pills Di!ls-afs are isssde or linen paper at 40 cents per hundred butwi..esls,, ,9sists9 s aas into pulp they get only 40 cents per ton for it. Do not use it again for money. Saw Teddy's collection at .he national museum. Was on the tip top of Washington's monument (500 feet) and spent one afternoon going down the Potomac to see Mt. Vernon. This is the most beautiful spot I ever saw. The house is supposed to be the same as when Washington lived there but we know it has been fixed up for the public. The old mahogany furniture is lovely. We visited President Will sons private dining room, the red par Tor where Mrs. Wilson serves tea, and the blue room where Eleanor was mar ried.
