The Shepherds Purse.

A valuable little plant that goes to
waste by roadsides and vacant lots is
the shepherds purse, whose tiny seed
pods are known by everybody at sight,
though not by name. The green seeds
stripped from the stems and strewn
over lettuce or endive are a piquant
addition to salads Of which no epicure
will need to taste twice to be assured.
The fresh peppery taste suggested in
one Of its names, "wayslde cress," is
yet finer than common cress. But its
curative qualities need dwelling upon,
for it is said to be one of the surest
remedies for a disordered digestion.
The seed is eaten green. When the
lower pods are set and the top still in
flower is the best time. but it can be
used any time. The pleasant. warm
ing. clearing. purifying effect is felt at
once. and the only directions are to
eat the seeds often and as much as is
agreeable. For croupy children it may
be boiled in milk but for elderly per
sons this Is unnecessary.-New York
Tribune.

work until recently, when the cause of the General Association was championed by Eld. Swanner and few others and for awhile in the organization of the associ- ation it looked as though the new idea would be carried. The elec- tion of Eld. w. B. Collins as moderator over George West was regarded as a victory for the General Association.
 On the afternoon of Thursday the report on the state missions question was taken up, a majority and a minority report each being submitted. One of the most heated discussions followed that ever occurred in the history of the association. The majority report condemned in strong language those who had sought to bring discord into the association, while the minority report recom- mended the withdrawal of the association from the State Con- vention and cooperation with the General Association. The ques- tion was discussed for three hours, Drs. Love and Bogard each be- ing extended the courtesies of the floor. The call for the question resulted in a vote of 28 to 5 in favor of the majority report, a decided victory for the State Convention work.
 On Friday morning occurred the ceremonies at Pleasant Hill cemetery unveiling the monu- ment erected by his friends to the memory of the late Eld. Isaac Standlee, the funds for the pur- chase of which were principally secured through the work of this paper. The ceremonies, while informal, were beautiful and deeply impressive. There is no name of man dearer to the hearts of the Baptist people in all this country than that of Eld. Standlee, who for fifty two years was one of the strongest pillars of the Baptist cause.
 The reports from the various churches submitted to the asso- citation indicated that the work within it's bound has prospered fairly well.
 The next meeting is to be held with the Imnanuel church in the city of Eureka Springs.

and is sure it will catch many thousands of people who have never before visited the city. MT. James is quite well pleased with the outlook for the success of the Carroll County Fair. He says, however, that the advertis- ments for posting along the Frisco had not reached his hands and that he fears that a mistake has been made in delaying this important matter.
 The "war' between the Frisco road and the St. l.. & N. A. is a question of considerable conse- quence to Eureka Springs and the people are exceedingly anx- ious to see the differences settled. It is stated the result may be that the Frisco will build a line of it's own into Eureka Springs. Men in position to know some- thing of the affair say such is the situation. The trouble grew out of the fact that the St. l.. & N. A. road refused to stand for pro- portion of the damages sustained to a couple of passenger coaches of the Frisco wrecked on the St. l.. & N. A. track, while in use for a one-day excursion to Eu- reka Springs, which were so popular couple of years ago. There are those who think that the result will be that this road will soon go into the hands of the Frisco.
 The Ozark Zinc Go. is firm in Eureka Springs that does business. It's proprietors are Judge w. M. Boles and his hustling young son, Fred. In conversation with them we learn ed that they are succeeding in interesting many men from the north in the mineral resources of the country and not infrequently they land deals, which involve thousands of dollars. Their principal interests are about St.. Joe in Searcy county.
 M. B. Russell, who learned his a b c's in the printing business in THE TRIBUNE office is now hold = ing the position of manager of the Daily Times-E Echo in that city, and his work as such seems to be meeting with public favor.
 Our friends Editor and Editress Moore of the Flashlight were busy as bees, waiting upon the patrons of that popular printery.

Do Good--it Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that, "Good deeds are better than real estate deeds-some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, show sympathy and lend helping hand. You can- not possibly lose by it.' Most men appreciate kind word and encouragement more than sub- stantial help. There are persons in this community who might truthfully say: My good friend, cheer up. A few doses of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold, and there is no danger whatever from pneu- monia when you use that medi- cine. It alway cures. know it for it has helped me out many a time" Sold by Green Forest Drug Go.

Itis said of John Wesley that he once said to Mrs. Wesley i: "Why do you tell that child the same thing over and over again? ?'' "John Wesley, because once tell ing is not enough" It is for this same reason that you are told again and again that Cham berlain's Cough Remedy cures colds and grip; that it counter acts any tendency of these dis eases to result in pneumonia, and that it is pleasant and safe to take.

HANBY STILL LUMBER KING
He Writes Answering The Trib- Ene's Lumber Trust Article.

Headquarters Hanby Mills,
 Oct. 4, 1903.
 EDITOR TRIBUNE: Inotice your Write-up concerning the lumber business of our country is apt to mislead some one that wants lumber and don't want to go to Berryville after it.
 1 want to say to the people of Green Forest that I have plenty of lumber at my saw mills and can deliver it at any time that there is any money in sight, but 1 can't afford to keep a standing lumber yard there. 1 tried it and lost money. The sales would not justify keeping it up, so l tried to get some of the wealth est business men to take hold of it and help me still keep the busi- ness and l could not get man to handle it, so I sold the stock and shipped it out. I can keep it at the mill and no extra expense attached to it, hence 1 can sell cheaper at the mill than any lumber-yard man anywhere.
 If any of your people want a bill of lumber tell them just to let me have a whack at 1t and l will get it in due time for the carpenter to handle it. l can fill any bill tLat comes along on short notice. l have plenty of dry, dressed lumber and making more every day, but it looks like there is no use to visit Green Forest to sell it. Some time ago l sold to the Berryville Lumber Go. 750,000 feet and have com- pleted that contract long ago and gotplenty of lumber yet on hands at starvation prices, but it stays at the mill until it is sold.
 wish some one would pick up enough courage and capital to start a lumber yard at Green Forest. 1 am ready to supply them if they can pay for it and give them a fair profit to handle it, but they will have to spike down when they get it. l am still the Lumber King of North Arkansas. I own more mills, lumber and timber than any other lumber outfit yet in the country. $. R. HANBY.
 We are glad to learn from MT. Hanby that we were mistaken in some degree concerning the proportions of the local lum Der i trust, that the way is open and easy for all who may want buiid- ing material.
 The fact remains, however, the lumber hauler who used to traffic with our merchants and people generally has gone out of business and it is necessary to do business with a lumber yard or mill man direct if you buy any pine lumber nowadays.

A Story of the Street.

\ prominent physician met the
president of the Central City Cereal
Coffee company on the street a short
time ago, and said: "Well, l have just
recommended a patient of mine to
use your cereal coffee" The patient
in question is suffering from stomach
trouble and the physician knew just
the thing to prescribe for him. To
begin with, if the patient had not
used coffee or tea when he was well
and strong he would probably never
have had stomach trouble. but now
that he has the terrible affection he
does well to get good physician,
give up the use of coffee, and drink
Mocon Cereal Coffee. 1t is always
best for the sick, but even better for
the strong and healthful. Mocon,
mans best drink, is a nerve support
err and tissue builder. 1t may be
had of any first-class grocer.
