Removing Carpet from Baptist Church Finds Tribune of May 31, 1900


 Robt. Kendall, Jr., believes in pass ing interesting things along. The other day when he wls assisting in re- moving things for the remodeling the Baptist church building under the carpet found Tribune dated May 31, 1900. ' After perusing the columns of the paper and finding many things of inter- est to him which happened before his day, he brought the we'll preserved but yellow from age Tribune to the home from which it wandered over seventeen years ago.
 The paper contained a 4-inch double column millinery ad of Mrs. c. H. Chauncey. The medical ads were sign ed by Harbert & Sheldon.
 A. J. Russell's name was mentioned as candidate for representative; E. J. Black, county judge; R. A. Kendall, county clerk O. c. Grim, sheriff; Oscar Miller, assessor.
 Foster, the leading grocerman, had good coffee advertised for 10c per lb. Coxsey Bros. who had just completed their mammoth store building, in a large advertisement announced it full of new goods.

 The Tribune was then published un- d CT the firm name of Russell Bros. and was 5-column folio much small CT than it is now. In other words it grew while doing its Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. We clip below few of the locals:
 Railroad work is booming in grea shape.
 Uncle George Buell. is reported in quite feeble health.
 Barber Ed Puckett is still quite bad ly crippled up with rheuma tism.

 Postmaster Grim has had 13 lock and 40 call boxes added to the post office cabinet this week. The business of the office increases so rapidly that additions to the furniture are made necessary every few weeks.
 The Tribune contributes considerable space this week to Col. Fancher's reply to Prof. Burney. We hope the discus sion is now about ended, at least, so far as The Tribune is concerned. We can see no special benefit to the general public by luther agitation of this mat ter. The Tribune is more interested in the up-buildng of Green Forest than it is in the tearing down or building up of any party. Anything further on this question will be published at regu- lar advertising rates. T. L. Cooper of Denver will teach a six months public school at Coin.
 Joe Reeves and Miss Dona Shipman were m arried at Berryvile Sunday.
