In MelnOliam.

Rebecca Susie Norris, wife of J. w. Norris, departed this life Sept. II, 1897.
 Deceased was the only daughter of Mrs. Sarah Wisdom, her only son having died Jan. 19, 1897. These two were well and tavor- ably known here from childhood. They were dutiful and kind children, without an enemy in the world and when they took their places in life as father and mother, husband and wife, these heaven born charistlcs did not depart from them. Jimmie, as he was called, was a true gentleman, a loving husband, and aE affoc- tionate father and worthy citizen.
 It was an afliction, sore, 10 his kind mother to see him go while in the prime of life and the en- joyment of all that life means, but she said "God's will be done." and bore her grief with calm resigna- tion.
 Now, before the frosts of anotE- CT season, death claims the last of her natural blood.
 Mrs. Norris leaves husband end children besides mother and numerous friends to mourn her loss. She was only 36 years of age and died in the full triumph of living faith. Her last W ords, addressed to her husband. were, "The Lord is calling for Volun- teers"
 'Why do we mourn departing friends
 Or shake at deaths alarm
 'Tia but the voice that Jesus sends
 To call them to his arms'
 A FRIEND.

Do The Tribune a Favor.

The extensive advertising done by the Green Forest merchants in THE TRIBUNE has, no doubt, been the great medium which has turn ed such a volume of trade to our town.
 For that reosun you can do us a great ia" by calling the atten- ton of our merchants to the fact that you saw their advertisement Tn THE TRIBUNE. In so doing you make the merchant realize that his efforts to let the people know that he has bargains in store for them has not been in vain, and at the same time prove the eff cacy of THE TRIBUNE as an advertising medium, and the final result will be that the very best bargains that can be had are at your disposal. Don't you see we would all be mutually benefited ?

\ Where Is Dayid Page!

That is the question that is aqi- tating our people just now, but more especially his wife. Mrs. Annie Page, who IS fully convinco' rom all the circumstances that some great misfortune has befallen him,
 Mr. Page was q travelling opti- cian and has been away from Green Forest since January travelling in North Missouri, but at no time longer than week had Mrs. Page failed to get letter from him, frequently containg a hand some money order, until the l3 of August be wrote her from Evans vile, Monroe county, Mo-, since which time she has not received any tidings from him. In this letter he told her that he was making his preparations to start homo and expected to reach here Oct. l. He had only q few days before, as usual, sent his clothing home, also a money order for $l0. He also wrote Mrs. Page to write him at New Boston, Mo-, which she did, but the letter was uncall- ed for and sent to the Dead Letter office at Washington, D. c.
 She has written several letters of inquiry, but can learn nothing relative to his whereabouts. She awtully fears, in fact she is satis- fled, that he has been murdered for his money and stock of Or- ticlc goods, which he stated in his last letter, amounted to more than $500.
 Taking all the circumstances It seems that Mrs. Page's suspicion is vory we'll founded. He had been d very affectionate husband and had provided bountifully for for the family and continued to send money right up to the time at which all trace of him was lost
 Any information leading to the solving of the mystery would be of great relief to Mrs. Page,
