Talks for His Town.

Irwin Whitaker, our real estate hustler, sets a good ex- ample for other citizens to follow when they are away from homo by talking for his town. While in Eureka Springs the other day he run up against reporter for the Times Echo and gave him the following, which appeared in his paper that afternoon:
 ''Irvin Whitaker, the hustling real estate man of Green Forest, is in the city today on business. Mir. Whitaker says everything in
 his town is on the boom and all are waiting expectantly for the horticultural meeting which will be held there February 10, II and 12. All arrangements have been made for the convenience of our visitors, and I am sure no murmurs of dissatisfaction will be heard from any who attend. Our citizens are taking a renewed in- terest in this matter and we are certainly going to show all who are present what people of this section can do in the way of en- tertainment. The real estat @ business in Green Forest and the country adjoining is picking up, and during the last week some very large transactions have taken place. In the city the building of residences, etc., is rapidly moving along and it is only a question of few years until we will be numbered among the largest towns in this state"

Confederate Reunion.

Gen. Gordon, commanding the United Confederate Veterans, has announced that according to the custom heretofore in force, which leaves to the commanding gen. eral and the department com manders the fixing of the dates of the reunion, the thirteenth annual reunion will be held in the city of New Orleans on May 19, 20, 21 and p, 1903, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day, respectively. With pride the commanding general also an nounces that 1, ,490 camps have already joined the association and he hopes that many more will file applications before the reunion. He urges veterans everywhere to get together and form themselves into camps, and send at once to these headquar- ters for organization papers, so that their aid may be secured in carrying out the benevolent, praiseworthy and patriotic objects of the order.

Benton County Peach.

The past season has been the greatest ever known in Arkansas in the peach industry, says the Rogers Democrat, and Rogers and Benton county occupied front seats as is usually the case.
 The total number of cars of peaches shipped from Arkansas was 463. Of this number, Ben- ton county shipped 173 cars, Washington county 35, and Crawford county IFS. The other 72 counties of the state, IT cars.
 Of the 173 cars shipped from Benton county, Rogers is credit ed with a little less than half-St cars. Two cars by express gave us a total of 83 cars.
 Figuring 600 crates to the car, Rogers shipped 49,800 crates. The average price received was about 95 cents per crate, so the peach crop was worth to our shippers S47, 1920.
 This is double the figures for any previous year and the high prices stimulated our fruit men to renewed efforts in this line. New peach orchards are springing up all over the country and the only thing that has kept the acreage from doubling this fall is the diff culty in securing reliable trees. The interest in peach orchards has been more pronounced this year than in apple orchards and a few more good seasons would find it giving the latter a hard race for first honors in the public estimation as money maker.

Big Money in Celery.

A Philadelphia society that has been running a three acre CO., operative farm, says in a report: |: One of the most interesting and profitable parts of this three- acre farm was celery plot of one- sixteenth of an acre. This min- iature celery farm, after thorough fertilization and preparation, was transplanted at the rate of 100- 000 plants to the acre, the rows being only nine inches apart, and the plants set in drills five inches from each other. The plants were grown in the ordinary way and were transplanted to the plot at the proper season for such work, that is, from the middle of July to the middle of August. The plot was given a shallow or surface cultivation every ten days, but was never handled or banked with earth IS is usually done in celery culture. On this one- sixteenth of an acre 5000 fine large stalks were matured, and after being bleached, mar keted at an average of 1 IA cents per stalk. At this rate one acre of land will yield gross product of S1 ,O00. I am not prepared to say that this can be done year after year, for we attempted the same thing last year and failed, but am sure that no greater risk is incurred in growing a crop by this method than would be incur red under the ordinary way, and I am confident that it can be done with much less labor in proportion to results.

 THE TRIBUNE urges the busi- ness men and every other citizen of the town and community who has interests in the development of the community at heart to lend assistance to the movement to establish canning factory in Green Forest, not only by talk and good will, but by actually subscribing for such amount of stock as will be in keeping with the financial int erests he has in the material growth and pros- perity of the town and it's trade territory.

For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good results in our family so long that 1t has become a household neces- sity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup.

The revolution, he said, was caused by
the advancement of modern police
methods. The very Municipalities of
specialties to which attention has
already been called, like one man being
an expert pickpocket, another sand
Dagger, another housebreaker, and
so on, leads to the detection of crime.
The inspector explains it in this wise:
IF clever piece of forgery has been
done we know pickpocket didn't do it;
so the first thing we inquire is: Who
are the expert forgers out of the peni-
tentiaries? There are only few of
them in the country, and we easily To-
cate those that were near the scene of
the crime at the time it was committed.
Then we tit in the clues. So it is with
other kinds of crime. You see police
methods have become a science and we
are now in such close touch with the
police forces of other cities that all the
rogues are known, and it is pretty hard
for them to escape. For instance, every
counterfeiter has his own peculiar
style of execution, just as an artist
has, and the moment a bogus note gets
into circulation the experts know who
made it.
IF you will look over the criminal
records you will find not only every
crooks picture, but you will see full
report of his speciality and his methods
of work. We know them all like books,
and generally can put our hands on
them when we want them. So, you see,
under the circumstances it does not
pay for good men to remain in the bust.
ness. The kinds of crooks, however,
who have not degenerated, are the
wire tappers-that is, the men who tap
the wires and gst race information, so
as to beat the poolrooms-and the
steerer' to the brace faro games.
This crook is of higher type than the
old style confidence man. He must
dress well and hang about the hotels so
as to create the impression that he is
gentleman of leisure in order to en-.
snare the real gentlemen into little
private game But even he finds it
necessary to keep on the move, for
every large hotel keeps it's own detec-

London, June 20.-In the house Of
lords Friday Foreign Minister Lans-
downe announced that the British
minister to Servia had been in
structed to withdraw from Belgrade
for some time, on the arrival there
of King Peter, and i'm the meanwhile

strued as a recognition of the new
government. Lord Lansdowne eX

Belgrade, and said he thought it was
not desirable that Sir George Bon
ham, the British minister, should be
in that city when the new regime was
inaugurated.
The foreign minister added that no
proposal had been received for con-
certed action towsrds Servia by the
powers, but the British government
had no intention of maintaining or
binary relations with the persons
concerned in the massacre.
Belgrade, June 20.-A deputation to
meet King Peter started Friday
morning for Geneva. Three sisters OF
the late Queen Draga also departed
from Belgrade for Vienna.
The following notification was ga
zetted Friday:
sSThe Russian minister here has in
formed the minister of foreign affairs
that he will enter into relations with
the Servian government Friday, as
the car had been pleased to recog-
nize Prince Karageorgevitch as king
of Servia.'
Vienna, June 20.-The press CORE
spondent interviewed the members OF
the Servian deputation. All protested
that it was impossible to accsde to the
Russian demands, declaring that any
attempt to punish the guilty officers
would plunge Servfa into new trouble.
