OLD MEN WHO ARE NOT OLD
Notable Examples to Be Found hotA
Mt Home and Abroad.

Notable Examples to Be Found Both
mt Home and Abroad.
Much has been said during the past
few years about the Importance OF
young men as leaders in finance, indus
try and politics, and the impression has
been cultivated that only young men
were fitted to do the great work Of the
world in these progressive days. But
when we take d look around at the
men who are actually in the lead to-
day in literature, science, politics, re-
lig;on ard business we find much to
diyprove this idea that old age Is q
s::S-a of weakness and inefhciency.
In our own strenuous land we have
such men as Edward Everett Hale,
Theodore Cuyler and Russell Sage still
at the forefront in a multitude OF ac-
tivities, although all three Of them
have left eighty years behind some
time since. In the sphere of national
politics we hive such commanding fig
ures as Senators Hoar and Hawley,
both of whom must plead guilty to the
age of seventy-six, while the two illus
trlous senators from Maine, Messrs.
Hale and Frye, are both men Of many
years, the first named being sixty-six
and the other seventy-one. Our pres
ent secretary Of state, Mr.. Hay, is far,
from being youthful person, having
sixty-four years to his credit, while
Secretary Wilson Is older than that by
three years and Postmaster General
Payne is nearly sixty. Whitelaw Reid
Of the Tribune Is sixty-five, and Drs.
James NJ. Buckley and Lyman Abbott,
the veteran religious journalists, are
over siXty-siX.
If we turn our gaze abroad, we find
equally strong testimony. 1t is Sir
John Arid, verging on seventy, who
has built the great Nile dam; it is Lord
Masham, verging on ninety, who has
just appealed to the English govern
ment to overhaul the fiscal system;
Henry Labouchere, "Labby," the bril-
liant editor of Truth, is man Of sew
enty; the keenest debater in the house
of commons is still Sir William Har-
court, in active opposition at seventy.

 The protracted meeting at the Meth odist church continues with good pros poets of success. Rev. McCracken is a strong man in the pulpit. The literary entertainment given by the high school in honor of the visitors Wednesday evening was rare treat and thoroughly delighted all present.
 c. E. Foreman, Irwin Whitaker, L. s. Shibley and J. Russell constituted a reception committee to meet the in- coming visitors in Eureka Springs Tuesday morning.
 That Green Forest is a good location for good town in a good country is a fact recognized by our visitors this week. Many such expressions were ut tered in our presence.
 Note the advertisement in this issue of R. P. Spurlin, dentist, of Berryville. Dr. Spurlin informs us that it is his intention also to open on office in Green Forest, spending day or two each week at this place.

 Tanning & Birkes have nothing to give away, but they are making a hber- al division of the profits on groceries with their customers.
 You can settle your account at Cox sey Brothers with wheat, corn or other produce at the highest cash price.
 The Green Forest Cornet Band con- tributed a good share toward the suc- cessful entertainment of our visitors this week.
 You are fooling away your time if you try to find better selection of goods or lower prices on groceries than there is at Tanning 6 Birkes'. A new time table went into effect Sun day. It brings the freight into Green Forest at 4;49, a. m., just 15 minutes earlier than heretofore.
 Green Forest and surrounding coun- try scored thousands of dollars wol tn of advertising this week, which cost a large majority of our citizens not a penny.

FEATHERS COME HIGH.

is the next thing in line. With tht
price of feathers steadily advancing
under the present system of free ant
unlimited competition among ali geese
ducks, hens and turkeys there is nc
reason why a Well regulated combine
would not be of benefit to all.
Ii is a fact that the demand fol-
feathers is greater in proportion to the
supply now. than ii has been for a lons
time. A year ago the standard goose
feather. called the AA prime, could be
bought in an unrenovated state for AZ
cents per pound. Today they are worth
50 cents A ton then was worth $3.50.
now 5000. Imported China duck
feathers could be had last fall for 16
cents; but now they cost 20 cents.
A greater proportional rise is to be
noticed in chicken an turkey feathers
which have risen in a year from TO 8.
cents a pound each. These advanced
prices are not due to a decreased pro-
duction so much as to increased de-
mand. There is a slight falling off in
the supply of imported feathers: but
that is not sufficient TO account for the
great rise in the price of raw feathers.
The fact is that the prosperous Am
erican people are substituting feath
er mattresses for straw ticks.
In these piping times of peace an6
prosperity men refuse to shape
their spinal columns to the undulations
of the cold straw bed, and are demand
ing a soft. downy couch which will ad-
lust itself to the various angles, pro-
nontories and physical characteristics
