Henderson Grimett, of this place, was stricken with partial paralysis and completely lost the use of one arm and side. After being treated by an eminent phy- sician for quite a while without relief, my wife recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured.-GEoRGE R.

MFR CHANTS and business men of Green Forest all have splendid stocks of goods in the different lines of trade, and their prices are right. Never go away from home to buy an article that you ean get of the home dealer. He will always sell you a good
 article at a fair price, and besides he is here to make good his guarantee. Not so with the other fellow. If you go away from home to buy, likewise you must go in search of the fellow who sold you the goods, if they are not as represented, and in nine cases out of ten, when you do find him you will learn tlat he has worked some "dodge" on you and is not disposed to come to taw. The safe way is to trade at home. Patronize home enter- prise and keep the money in circulation here where your personal interests are centered.

EVERY business in Green Forest should be represented in the ad- vertising columns of THE TRIBUNE. Your patrons and the people of the community will thereby see that you take an interest in home enterprise and the home paper, and that you want their trade bad enough to invite them through that medium to inspect your wares, and they will ap- preciate it and you will profit thereby. Printers ink when properly applied is wonderful paying investment, and there is no better medium for it's use than the local newspaper which cir- culates in the community and goes into homes where you ex- pect to sell your goods.
The Green Forest tribune., 1902-10-11

THE man whose home is the best in the land, whose town is the finest in the country, whose state is the greatest in the union, whose nation is the strongest in the world, is a good citizen, and it makes little difference whether he is residence owner, me- chanie, a day laborer or follower of profession, he will do his trading at home, even if he does sometimes have to pay a little more. He will take his home paper. He will always say a good word for his home town and stand by every enterprise that is for it's benefit.
