How to Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarse- ness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a pecul- far rough cough. Give Chamber lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be, depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Green Forest Drug Go.

 Prof. Craword is a well known teacher of the county, being a graduate from two of the best normal schools in the United States, and is certainly qualified for the undertaking. He is fi- nancially responsible and fully able to carry the building to com pletioh on his own account. The location of such a school here means very great deal for Green Forest and the small balance should and we believe will be subscribed at once.

A Tribute of Respect.
"With the Savior fora friend He will keep me to the end"

|
 The intense beauty of the above lines from "the Song of the Washer Woman" is illustrated in the life and death of our beloved Sister Margaret Goforth, wife of Jesse Goforth, who passed away on Friday morning, Dec. Il, 1903.
 Even the skeptic heartily ad- mits that there is a wealth of satisfaction in a hope of a here after that will follow one through out the sunshine and shadows of life and will bring 8 smile to the countenance of it's subject pass ing into the very threshold of death.
 What in all the world could lend so much comfort to an aged and forlorn husband, whose hopes are fixed upon heaven, than the thought of having clasped the hand of his dying wife and heard these words from her lips:
 "Husband, you have been a good companion; you have done all for me that could be done. Don't grieve for me; it won't b e long till you will come.o
 Such were the comforting words of Sister Goforth. One by one, she called her children and others near to her by kindred ties to her bedside, reminding each that death will claim us all after awhile and fervently requested all to meet her in heaven; then. falling into unconsciousness her gentle spirit waited to the great beyond.
 It was Washington Irving who 50 truthfully and touchingly wrote: 1.-The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced; every other wound we seek to heal, every other affliction to forget; but surely grief is almost dispell- ed by joy when serious thoughts are given the circumstances sur- rounding the death of one so signally blessed as was Sister Goforth. She had lived longer upon this earth than perhaps the majority of us will be permitted to stay here. She had long since seen the last one of her children depart from the parental roof to join in happy campanionship with another. She could indeed look back upon life we'll spent. She was permitted in her last moments to impart to every living member of the old family circle the joy and blessed assurance that comes to one who is able to hear the words of our blessed Master "well done thou good and faithful servant!"
 There can be no higher any bition in the heart of any Christian than to be able to meet death so philosophically as did our beloved sister. J. l.. R. |

E. C. COOPER CANDIDATE.
He Wants to Represent Carroll
 County in the Legislature.

County in the Legisla turc.
 Ill our announcement column this week appears the name of E. c. Cooper for the office of rep resentative in the lower house of the general assembly.
 Mr. Cooper being a resident of Green Forest, iti a special pleas ure to us, as one who knows hin0 best, to attest his true worth as an upright man and citizen. in MT. Cooper rare ability, and influence, are beautifully blended with q thorough Christian character, and that he would make 8 highly honorable representative of Car roll county is an opinion shared by all of his acquaintance.
 Mr. Cooper has been a residen. of Carroll county for several years, coming here from Tennes- see ill his nineteenth year. He has until recently been a teacher in the public schools of the county, having held the position as prin- cipal of the Green Forest High School, in which capacity he gave universal satisfacti on.
 Two years ago he was appointed. to the position of county exam iner for the Eastern district by Judge Pittman, and no examiner ever came nearer giving perfect satisfaction than has MT. Cooper. He has done a great deal toward the raising of the standard of teachers and arousing an interest in educational matters generally.
 MT. Cooper is decidedly man of action. Not only is he thorougly alive on matters of edu cation, but large. share of his time and means are devoted to the promotion of church work, and every movement for the embetter- ment of the moral and social in fluences of the people receive his devoted attention. In fact, there are but few men within our knowledge who contribute as great a share of time and means to the public good than does MT. Cooper.
 Being a democrat, MT. Cooper, of course, submits his cause to the action of his party. He has been active in political matters every since he has been resident of the county and his democracy has been thoroughly tested.
 A careful consideration of his claims are due him at the hands of the democracy of Carroll county, and if he should be nominated and elected to this inn portant office. THE TRIBUNE is sure that the interest of his con- stituents will be faithfully guard ed, and that no taint of corruption will ever grow out of his connec- tion with any measures that may be considered by the legislature while he is member.

TO BUILD A NORMAL SCHOOL
An Institution Which Will be of
 Great Value to Green Forest.

Great Value to Green Forest.
 There is proposition before the people of Green Forest for the establishment of a permanent normal school with a complete business department here and it is quite likely that the offer will be accepted and the school made an assured fact before the end of another week.
 The offer comes from Prof. w. D. Crawford and the details of the proposition are about this :: He proposes to build house, equip and maintain a permanent school here, the building to be of brick or stone and of sufficent capacity to accommodate five hundred pupils, the same to be completed and ready to open on Sept. 1, 1904.
 In consideration of faithful performance on his part, Prof. Crawford asks that the citizen of Green Forest and vicinity sub- scribe for tuition in said school to the amount of S25O0, to be paid at the opening of said school. The tuition or scholarship if used by the family of the party sub- scribing for same are good until used, but they may be transferred once and used by the second purchaser at any time within three years from date of opening of tbe school. The rate of tuition is to be in keeping with the rates maintained by similar institu- . tiOnS.
 So far the following names and amounts represents the success with which the proposition has met:
