Making Good.

| There is no way of making lasting ! friends like "Making Good;" and Doctor
 Pierces medicines well exempify this,
 and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity, are numbered by
 the hundreds of thousands. They have made good" and they have not made l drunkards.
 l A good, honest, square-deal medicine of
 known composition is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an im- mense sale; while most of the prepara- tlons that have come into prominence in the earlier period of it's popularity have "'gone by the board and are never more heard of. There must be some reason for | this. long time popularity and that is to
 be found in it's superior merits. When once given fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections it's supe- rIor curative qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived and grown in pop l ular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed into favor for brief period and then been as soon l forgotten.
 For torpid liver with it's attendant indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per 1 haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue. with bitter taste. loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility. nothing is so good as Dr.
 Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all | = no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don't accept c substitute that the dealer may possibly make little big ger profit. Insist on your right to have what you call for.
 1 Don't buy Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion expecting it to prove rcure- e-all.p 1t is only advised for woman's spcciaJ ail- mentS. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Less advertised than some preparations sold for like purposes, its sterling curative virtues still maintain
 its position in the front ranks, where it stood over two decades ago. As an in 1vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv- inc 1t is unequaled It won't satisfy those who want booze" for there is not drop of alcohol in it.

 The Improvement and up- building of the telephone busi- ness and the proper adjustment of rates is one of The Tribune's s rather extensive line of hobbies, and it is pleasing to know that the service here is not only good, but the rates are very reasonable and the prospects for the future growth of the business is prom ising. The telephone is becom- ing next thing to as indispensable in the home as newspaper While the farmer does not find perhaps quite as much use for it as does his neighbor in town, yet it serves a much more suh- stantial purpose when he does need it, owing to the difference in distance covered. The tele- phone has come to stay and the real benefits for this country in the way of service is yet il it's infancy. The growth cannot stop now until the country is wired up and as thorough ser. vice is afforded the farmers as is now had by the people in the towns.

TEL. L.E:pHONE BOOM Free SefvieCe for Patrons Be-
 tween Here and Alpena
STARTER FOR MANY OTHERS
GreenForest Exchange Ready
 to Connect with Berryville

There is a boom on in the tele- phone business as well as every- thing else in this country. A fine new 225- drop switch board has been ordered by Manager Trower of the Green Forest ex- change and he informs us that the Green Forest and Alpena ex- changes will be connected up with service to the subscribers of each exchange: as soon as a mile or two more wire can be stretched which will be only a matter of a few days.
 The new board bought for the local exchange is one of the very latest productions in the art oi telephone building, so con- structed that new sections can be added when desired. It was built especially for the Green Forest exchange and toll lines by North Electric Co. at it's factory in Kansas City.
 The Tribune believes that this enterprising move on the part of Mes5rs. Trower and Whitaker of he Green Forest and Alpena ex- changes is a positive starter for the connection of a number of ex- changes throughout this part of the country. The next town ad- ded to the circuit should be Ber- ryville. Mr. Trower tells us he stands ready any day to meet the Berryville exchange on half way grounds, by putting in special wire be- tween the two places.
 The Tribune has had no com- munication with MT. Hanbury of the Berryville exchange on this subject, but we feel confident that he will take favorable action in this matter.
 As matter of fact, it will cost some more money to connect the exchanges in this way and the income from toll service will be lessened some, but the effect on the telephone business would certainly be wholesome, for the better and wider the service the easier it is to secure patronage. The Tribune believes that if needs be the telephone patrons generally would be willing to spring the amount of rent they are paying 8 little in order to get this additional service. l. would certainly be valuable to large

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by consti pational remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

PROSPERITY comes out of the ground, and as long as the yields abundantly in useful minerals and corn, cotton and wheat, and with wise legislation on the part of our rulers, the country need fear no great relaxation of the present conditions which has favored the country for the past decade. The Secretary of Agri- culture estimated that the value of the products of the country s farms-corn, cotton, hay, wheat, etc., was S6, ,794.000. GOO for 1906, and it IS bel Eyed that the year 1907, will reach S7, ,000, ,000,000 This will equal the wealth of the entire United States in 1850.

FROM 0LD-TNMERS
And Others Who Like to Hear
 from Green Forest People
BY READING THE TRIBUNE
Letters to the Editor From
 Several Different States

Mrs. Orra J. Kemmis of Sid- ney, Mont, formerly Miss Stella Buell-a daughter of Carl Buell. sends in for two years subscrip- tion and says that she cannot get along without her dear old Arkansas paper. Her husband is hardware merchant at Sid- ney.
 Prof. T. E. Phillips writes US from his new home at Melville, Ark, and as he makes himself solid with The Tribune remarks that he is well pleased with his surroundings at Melville. He says he would like very much to visit Green Forest and thinks he may do so about Christmas. He has formed a law partnership with Judge B. F. Fee, who mar ried Miss Lulu Newman of Oak Grove, this county.
 Mrs. Nell Nunnally Roberts writes from Little Rock that she simply cannot get along without The Tribune and asks for back numbers. She says she expects to visit Green Forest before the holidays.
 A letter from Wiley Rogers of Chrisman, Ill.,, concerning the subscription of his Aunt, Mrs. Belinda Barrett, who with her husband, James Barrett, now de- ceased, was a resident of Green Forest for several years. MT. Rogers says his aunt is in poor health, having suffered a paraly- tic stroke of the hip and has not been able to walk for more than two months. She was better, however, when he wrote the letter.
 Mrs. Golda Batta, formerly Miss Golda Reeves, asks her father, J. H. Reeves, to have The Tribune sent to her address in Little Rock, where she is now mistress of her own home. Her husband is employed in shoe shop. She writes her parents that great time is expected at the annual reunion of the deaf mutes of the state which is being held in the capital city this week.
 IN. Proctor sends nice letter anG remittance on subscription from his home at Grove, I. T., and predicts bright future for The Tribune under the present editor. Joe left this country about ten years ago and has done we'll in the Territory. His many old time friends would be glad to see back.
 Miss Jennie Smith, superin- tendent of education of Park county Montana, writes that she finds great delight in keeping up with her old time friends through the medium of The Tribune. which she thinks just fills the bill for readable news paper. Miss Jennie was elected to the office which she holds on the democratic ticket last fall. She is a sister of L., H, Smith.

KISSING THE PoPE's TOE.
Custom Of obeisanee Originated with
the Anclents.

The custom OF kissing the feet OF
persons whom II was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The
people OF oriental nations used to kiss
the hands and feet or hens OF the
clothes OF the persons they wished to
show respect for.
The ancient Egyptians got this GUS
tom from the Assyrians. and later the
Greeks adopted the habit from the
Egyptians. The Romans followed the
Greeks. and then Pontifex Maximus
had his great toe kissed by celebrities.
The story will be remembered OF the
old Briton ruler who appeared 10 do
homage 10 a Roman monk after the
conquest Of Britain He was told that
II was customary to kiss the foot OF
the holy father. He hesltated for a
moment and then. bending down. he
suddenly seized the monk by the
ankle and. Jerking II up 10 his lips.
