A Typical South African Store.

o. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchas- ed anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor. " This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty five miles from the nearest town. MT. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom 1 have supplied Cham berlain s remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctors advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the population IS perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolute ly cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record" For sale by Green For est Drug Go.

A Tribute to "Mother.O

''The man about town" who writes for the Clarkesville Herald saw an incident recently which inspired him to pen the following eulogy to mother.
 The writer saw an anxious mother intercepting her daught- CT from the company.of a ''scala- wag." After relating the cir cumstance in full he says: "As we observed the anxious face of the mother, we thought of the countless number of thoughtless girls who are by just such con- duct, daily lengthening the fur rows of care in the sweetest face on earth-mother's. Young lady, remember that ninety nine times out of every hundred mother knows best, and that there is no love as pure and un- selfish as hers. She watched over you during the long, weary hours of childhood and when sorrows darkened your little life and the busy world, yea, even your father in life's rush found not the time to devote to your childish whims, mother, tho bur- dened with many cares, folded you in her arms, kissed the tears away and brought back the sun shine and beauty of life. That young lady is thrice blessed who has the benefit of the advice and counsel of an intelligent, pure and devoted mother. Do not. there fore. think her old timey or too exacting, but remember the day may come when you would give the world, were it yours to give, for an opportunity to sit at her feet and hear her words of coun- sel. For some day, perhaps sooner than you now expect, those gray locks will be dropped over eyelids closed in death and those hands, beautiful hands, that have so often smoothedst the sor- rows from your life, will be folded over breast that is forever still- ed in death. How many, many broken lives might have been beautiful had mothers only been thoughtful and girls obedient.

Corn Thieves Put to Flight.

John Graham, residing six miles northeast of town, relates quite a bold attempt to steal corn in the vicinity of Oak Grove last week. Mr. Graham was visiting at the home of Harry Thorp and a passer-by informed MT. Thorp about nine o'clock in the night that someone was in his field hauling off a load of corn. MT. Thorp and Mr. Graham took a shot gun and proceeded to the field, but their approach was dis covered in time for the corn stealers to make run for safety. As the thieves ran, they fired a couple of shots at Mr. Graham and Mir. Thorp, who returned the compliment by shooting twice.
 In their haste to make their es- cape they left their wagon and team in the field which was taken in charge by their pursuers, who recognized the team as belonging to a neighbor and sent him word to come and get it. He was very much surprised thus to find his team as he had loaned it to a couple of young men of that neighborhood, the evening be- fore, who have since been absent without leave.

Poor Man!

Mans life is full of crosses and temptations. He came into the world without his consent and goes out against his will, and his trip between the two eternities is exceedingly rocky. The rule of contraries is one of the most important features of the trip. When he is little the big girls kiss him. and when he is big the little girls kiss him. If he raises a large family he is chump, but if he raises a small check he is a thief and a fraud, and is summed like a christian with the seven years itch; if he IS poor, he is a poor manager; if he is rich he is dis honest; if he is in politics you. can't tell where to place him, and he is no good to his country; if he does an act of charity it is for tue sake 9f policy; if he won't give for tie charity, he IS stingy and lives only for himself; if he dies young there was q great future before him, and if he lives to cid age he has missed his cali- ing.

for the living" :"

ACi oAiO lIN
 Such a remark is neither wise nor witty. In the mad rush for gain men are simply becoming oblivious to their most sacred duties, forgetting God and ig- noring the claims that their families have upon them, neg lecting their souls, and jeop- ardizing the eternal interests of their children. The damning sin of this age, and the most fruitful source of the failure of men to attend church and become re- ligious, is an inordinate love for money. "The love of money is the root of all evils.'' "What is man profited if he shall gain the whole world and loose his own soul?''
 By relegating the church work to the women and children, fath- CTS are impressing their sons that the church is simply for women, children and weak minded men. No wonder the 'big boy" stays away from church; he will not be found there till he is impressed that it is a place for manly, brainy men. Let him be taught that Gladstone, the greatest states man of the last century, was a devout christian and a regular attendant at church; that Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest philosophers-one who could rise to the sublime heights of intel lectual.ty where he could "think the thoughts of God after Him. was a humble follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mr. Scruggs of St. Louis, great business man and capitalist who gives from ten thousand to eighty thousand dollars a year to ben = evolence, is a regular attend ant and devout worshiper at-the sanctuary. We must give the church a larger place in our life and thought if we would have our boys respect it. Let the fathers set the proper example and the next generation of men will at tend the church. If they attend the church they will be brought under the influence of the re- straining, uplifting, saving power of the christian religion.

There is more Catarrah in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was SUD- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Science has proven catarrh to- be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney 6 Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

WILL ERECT A MONUMENT
To the Memory of the Late Elder
 Isaac StandIee.


 Isaac StandIee.
 TIE TRIBUNE has determined to start a movement for the col lection of funds to erect a mOnu- ment to the memory of the late Elder Isaac Standlee and will give space in our paper for the publication of popular subscrip- tions and short letters from those who desire to contribute.
 There certainly never was a more worthy cause than this ever agitated in this country, and THE TRIBUNE hardly believes 1t is necessary to assume the roll of a solicitor in this matter. It oc- CUTS to us that the only thing necessary to be done is to give the movement publication and subscriptions will come in almost involuntarily, as was the case with Hon. T. G. Norris of Pres colt, Ariz., who after reading our report of the veteran minis ter's death and the suggestion that monument should be erected to his memory, wrote us as follows:
 Prescott, Ariz., Oct. 14th, 1902. EDITOR TRIBUNE:--
 Green Forest, Arkansas.
 My Dear Sir and Friend:-I have just read in your issue of the 11th of the death of the Rev. Isaac Standlee. He lived a great life, and with the almost innumerable company of his friends l feel his loss to that country. His grave ; will have an influence on account of the spiritual walk of it's dignified and lonely occupant. It should be properly anl respectfully marked and monumentetl and I wish to be identified with move for this purpose; you arc therefore authorized to subscribe for me at least ten dollars for that purpose, which ] will remit on call when it is decided to solicit subscription, if the list has not already been opened.
 have always entertained the most , respectful and high opinion of his great character and have ever been one of the many recognizing in him landmark ; for the country's good, both spiritual and otherwise. Yours very truly, T. G. NORRIS. To this offer of Mr. Norris THE TRIBUNE will add S5 and thus we 7 have a list started with total of S15.00. Other names and amounts will be published to- gether with short communica- , tions from anyone upon this sub ject.
 By way of suggestion we will say that as the next session of the Carroll County Baptist Asso- } citation, of which Elder Standlee was one of the founders, meets at Pleasant Hill church Wednes- day before the first Sunday in October, 1903, the place of his in- terment. During this meeting would be suitable time for the unveiling of the monument. THE TRIBUNE suggests 10 amount of money that should be , raised. Whatever sum is con- tributed will be expended for this purpose.
 , Let us hear from others.

o'NEAL FAMILY REUNION.
Fourth Annual Gathering Held
 at YOcum, Last Week,


 the O'Neal relatives was held at Yocum on Friday and Saturday of last week. More than a hun dred people who trace their an- cestry back to the O'Neals were present, representing several families of Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri, besides quite . number of other people participated in the meeting.
 A program of exercises had been arranged in advance of the meeting to which other features were added until the entertain ment part was made quite com plete. The excellent weather also lent much to the success of the occasion.
 Several families, bent on mak- ing the most of the opportunity to visit and have a good time, went into camp upon the ground on Thursday evening remaining until the reunion was over.
 Many of the older people found interesting pass time in recount ing events of pioneer life in this country, which seem very strange to the people who have grown up during the past twenty or twenty five years. Much legendary history connected with the O'Neal family has been per- petuated for another generation, at least, on account of this meet ing.
 From a talk with several of the older ones present we gather that John Spencer O'Neal, who gave birth to the O'Neal family in the United States, was born in Ire- land about 1760, and when very small boy emigr ated with his father to Scotland, and in his early teens came to America and located in the colony of Georgia. From there he went to Kentucky, where he enlisted as a volunteer in the Revolutionary war. After the war he remained a citizen of Kentucky until about 1916, when he returned to Scotland to look after business matters. On returning to America he came to Missouri and located in the wild country near where is now loca- ted the city of Springfield.
 Before leaving Scotland the first time MT. O'Neal became a communicant of the Baptist church and was prominently connected with the work of the Baptist denomination during his residence in Kentucky.
 When he located in Missouri Mir. O'Neal's family consisted of three sons-Jesse, Charles and John. Of these Charles and Jesse's decendants were repre- sented in this reunion. From their families branch out rela- tionship that it would take much time and space to enumerate. For instance Jesse was the father of five children one of whom was Hulda (O'Neal) Goforth, who was the mother of Mary Ann (Goforth) Russell, wife of w. C.. Russell-the father of THE TRIB- UNE publishers-who are thus en- abIed to trace their maternal an : cestry back to the O'Neals. Charles G. O'Neal, who died some months since at the ripe old age of ninety four, was famil- far character in this country for seventy five years, and his de- cendants are many. He was the father of thirteen children, twelve of whom raised large families, and nearly all of whom are still living, some of them now being. great grand parents.
 On Friday of the reunion the welcome address was made by c. W. O'Neal of Harrison. Speeches were also made by c.. c. O'Neal and A. J Russell of

SERMON IN FEW WORDS.
pov q. E. Goddard Tells Why Men Do Not Attend Church.

ufsTr;tten for TIE TRIBUNE by Rev. Goddard.
 Why do men not attend church?
 h is not hereby assumed that men
 lo not attend church. There are
 many faithful, devout men who
 are always present unless prov '. S.identially hindered. What we
 do assume is that a smaller per cent of men than women attend
 church. This can be seen by Intending a dozen different churches and noting the number of men and women respectively or by taking church registers and making the comparison. This factis universally conceded.
 Now, why should it be so? This writer has often asked men fortheir opinions and the answers have been various; one man said that practical business and pro- fessional men regarded ministers asimpractical, feminine charac- ters and hence, not caring to be harangued by that class, they stay away from church. This might be true in individual cases. There are doubtless impractical feminine men in the pulpit; so, are there impractical feminine men lawyers, doctors and teachers. But there are also stalwart, masculine men in the ministry; and yet majority of their congregations are femi- Lnfne.
 A Another said "women are Inaturally more religious than men, and therefore are more faithful in attendance on the [public worship" This proposi- ton does not go unchallenged. That women are more religious than men is admitted, but that they are naturally so is denied. There are causes for this other than natural, and these will be discussed farther on.
 Another said "women are shut up in their houses for six days in the week, and having an op- portunity to get out and see, they gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to go on Sundays as respite from the drudgery of Household cares.'' should hardly be willing to concede that no higher motives actuate the women to attend the. public preaching. It may be so in in- dlvidual cases, but general conclusion must not besreached rom a particular premise.
 Now, it is evident to every thinking man that no one reason can be pointed out as the reason why men absent themselves rom the church. Some stay away for one reason, some an other, and thus on ad infinitum. 10 enumerate them all would re- qulre more space than THE TRIB- oNE has to give.
 Yet, there are some fundamen- cal deep seated causes that may be pointed out.
 One principal cause is that many men are impure and sin iul m their lives. Their sins may be public or private, known UT unknown. A strong, biblical aehverance from the pulpit is a.l"ays rebuke to sin. Rather .han hear their sins denounced
 they begin with one consent to make excuse,'' and stay away rom rom church. Our Lord said, !. Men love darkness rather than nsnt because their deeds are
 Another reason is that men are tt ep pre-occupied and absorbed a; s'ia' they have neither time nor a'sposl(lon to turn aside from ae9ular a affairs and turn into the ,'~alc9uafy ,~ to engage in divine tHhurshlp. " Some men say (and ;ay ;aey seem to regard it as d brill ,a';I o,,i', remarl), My wife and NllllG Fen lanl- !,

grand procession enters the choir,
headed by the prebendaries and Dean

homage and the altar, and standing
on a carpeted space, which is called
The Theater." After he is seated
her Majesty, the Queen Consort, takes
her seat in the second land lower
chair on his left hand, and the actual
ceremony begins. The solemnity
commences with the recognition of
the soVereign's right on the part Of
the people. The Archbishop of Can

stands up. The archbishop then, turn.

who all this time has worn the cap

the declaration, which is read to him
from a parchment roll, he repeating it
after the archbishop. A silver stand
ish is then brought, and the king sub
scribes his name to it, on the top of
his desk or faldstool. The archbishop
then administers the coronation oath,
mostly in the form of questions-the
most important of which is this:
Archbishop-Will you solemnly
promise and swear to govern the peo-
pie of this United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland. and the domi-
MONS thereunto belonging, according
to the statutes in parliament agreed

Gospels, takes the following oath:
