PuctuaIity.

Punctuality is that habit of order by which we do everything at the right time. This practice of Punctuality should run through everything. We should be punctual at all our engagements :; we should be so at our meals; at our private work or studies; at the hour of retiring at night and of rising in the morning; and also at our exercise and recre- ation. This is necessary to true model character, and it is equally as necessary to good health.
 We should form this habit the earliest date possible; for a great writer once said, "We form habits easily in early life; in later life they form us easily"
 We can easily observe that no business man or firm will tolerate about their establishments clerk who is habitually late. Thus we see it will pay us to be Punctual on all occasions.
 Let us heed to Longfellow in the following words:
 "Let order o'er your time preside,
 And method all your business guide;
 One thing at once be still begun,
 Resolved, contrived, pursued and done;
 Ne'er till to-morrow's light delay
 What might as well be done today.
 DAN EVANS.

 Representative J. w. Poynor arrived in Green Forest Satur- day afternoon from the eastern part of the state where he had been sent by the speaker of the house to inspect convict camps. He stated that some of the camps
 were in bad condition and he was strong in his denunciation of the lease system, stating that it was the cause of much inhu- mane treatment to the convicts and a financial loss to the state. We believe our representative is eminently correct in his position on this important question. Dr..
 Poynor left Sunday evening for
 Berryville where he was sum- moned as witness in circuit 1 court.

 At the home of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. R. H. Sawyer, three miles south of town, Tuesday evening at four o'clock, was solemnized the mar riage of their daughter, Mae, to w. F. Shades. Rev. Ruble, pastor of the M. E. church, south, of Green Forest pronounced the ceremony in a very beautiful and impressive manner. At the close of the ceremony congratu- lations were extended the happy couple, after which an elegant supper was spread for them.
 Mir. Shades has been citizen of this community about three years. He has wide acquaint- ance and is admired by all who know him for his many good qualities. His friends have never had but one criticism to make of him and that was his ap- parent disposition to continue through life with no one to share his cares or his pleasures, bul Shades was all the time laughing in his sleeves at these criticisms for he knew what the future helc in store for him better than hi: friends and knew that he would spring little surprise on then that would show that he was no indifferent to the wooings of tn, gentler sex.
 THE TRIBUNE extends hearties congratulations to Mir. Shade and his bride.

As ar example of how close ly land titles in this country are being examined, we quote from a letter from a Kansas City law firm, that was em- ployed to pass upon the title embracing the s. 1-2 N. E. and N. 1-2 s. E. Sec. 30. Twp. 19, N R. 22., which has recently been sold. The objections were as follows: 1. The land was patented to James w. Goulden. When he sold it he signed the deed J. w. Goulden. Evidence was required 10 show that James w. Goulden and J. w. Goulden were one and the same person,
 2. A mortgage was not shown to be satisfied of record.
 3. Land was sold to c. w. Absher, and when he deeded it away he signed it Charles w. Absher. Evidence was required to show that c. w. and Charles W. Absher is the same person.
 4. Land was sold to P. F. Parsell and deeded away by Prudence F. Parsell. Re- Guired to show these two names to represent the same person, and evidence is also required to show that Pru. dence F. Parsell was unmar- ried, as the deed failed to so state.
 These defects, as trifling as some of them are, had to be corrected before the deal could go through. This ab- stract shows a condition far better than the average. ,arroll County Abstract Co,

Moral Courage

Moral courage is the doing right in spite of any one making fun of you. A memory gem that our teacher, Mrs. Coleman, has taught us means to have moral courage. It is this :-"Dare to do right, Dare to be true; The failings of others can never save you''
 When any one wants you to do anything wrong like slipping off from your mother or playing truant at school, then you show high moral CO age by saying nc, good round hearty no, and sticking to it.
 It shows moral courage for 8 boy to refuse to drink whiskey, or to use tobacco when other boys try to get him to do so.
 If a boy or girl is ashamed of their mother or father because they are old fashioned in their ways, or do not talk just right, it shows lack of true moral cour- age.
 It requires more moral courage to always do the right, than to do the wrong. We should always fight against the wrong and for the good, the true and the beautiful. Little boys and girls show true moral courage by always obey ing their parents and being kind to old people.
 ssBe kind to the poor, Be kind to the old,
 For kindness is dearer And better than gold. FRANCIS SCOTT

PAID UP CApITALS2O,O 100000
New President and Cashier fer
 Baak of Green Forest.

At a meeting of the stockhold : CTS of the Bank of Green Pores! on Monday evening, it was voted to increase the amount of the paid-up capital stock from S15, 5,0O0 to S20,000, the full amount authorized under the charter.
 J. A. Buell. rendered his resig- nation as cashier, stating that he is forced to retire from the cler- ical work of the bank on account of his failing oversight. J. B. Rhodes, late assistent cashier of the Farmers & Merchants Bank was unanimously chosen to suc- ceed Mr. Buell. in the position of cashier.
 M. s. Coxsey rendered his re- signation as president of the bank, explaining that the numer- ous other busin ness interests with which he is connected claims all of his time, ano it is impossi- ble for him to give the position the active attention it deserves. J. A. Buell. was promptly chosen to succeed Mr. Coxsey as presi- dent, thus retaining him actively identified with the business con- trol of the bank, which has four ished so satisfactorially under his long administration as cash fer.
 The changes thus voted be- come effective March 1. The new issue of stock has all been taken and as soon as matters are adjusted to the new conditions, a new board of directors will be chosen. The following parties have taken up the new stock: J. A. Buell., J. l.. Rhodes, J. B. Rhodes, J. c. Wilson, w. T. Gray, c. 0. O'Neal, L. Russell and J. c. Stafford.
 This bank expects to be housed in it's elegant new home on the sou theast corner of the square about April 1. The building is being specially constructed for a bank building. In it's new quarters the bank will be equipped with large vault, com prising a large number of safety deposit boxes that will accom- modate it's customers as we'll as it's own business, and the latest improved National Screw Door Safe, that has proved to be abso- lutely burglar proof.
 There are few, if any, banks in the state that can show a more substantial growth than that shown by the Bank of Green Forest during the six years of it's existence, all of which speak volumes for the substantial con- dition of Green Forests business interests.

"Gong" John Middleton and Loch Gilbert Detected l..
 Shrewd Scheme.

Loch Gilbert Detected t.
 Shrewd Scheme.
 The officers have just uncov-
 cred a very smooth scheme which
 tLong" John Middleton and his
 partner Loch Gilbert, who live
 near Denver, have been working for sometime and as a result, the two are in the federal jail at Ft. Smith under > charge of fraudu- lent use of the mails.
 From the evidence in the com missioner's court at Harrison last week, it appeared that Middleton and Gilbert had been buying goods on a credit from various wholesale houses, giving the Citizens bank of Harrison and certain wholesale houses as ref eFences. The recommendations were promptly given, believing that John Middleton was j. H. Middleton of Omaha, who is reliable and successful merchant. John Middleton has the same in- itial5 as J. II. Middleton and on tho strength of the other mans credit, he and Gilbert secured large quantities of goods which they were offering at very low prices and distributing at points along the railroad east and west of Omaha.
 The two were arrested last week and arrigned before the com- missioner at Harrison, who held them to await the action of the federal grand jury.
 Middleton, after coming from the commissioners room, asked to step aside to see some friends to go on his bond, and getting out of sight of the Marshall, gave him the dodge and escaped. He got several minutes the start and was not heard from for sometime but men were stationed where it was thought he would most likely appear, and after thrae days caught him on Long Creek, near Denver, and at once con- veyed him to the federal jail at Ft. Smith.
 Middleton is we'll known to the people about Denver, where be has lived all his life. He has al- ways been considered both worthless and harmless and the casual observer would look upon him as what might be called a simpleton, but those who have had an insight into Middleton's life realize that he is full Of "ways that are dark tricks that are vain' and that he is a slick, shrewd criminal, who has es- capped the penitententiary many times by his ability to appear simple minded.
