The Green Forest tribune., 1907-01-11

give It's patrons the best service that is possible to give and all that the patronage will permit. Our paper is being frequently complimented on it's appearance and the amount and kind of mat ter it contains. Our citizens can make the paper still more effec- tive by liberal patronage, both in subscriptions and advertising. The paper will always endeavor to merit the patronage.
 We heard young man remark last week that, "rhe world owes me a living" It is hoped for
 that young mans good that he'll get the notion out of his head. It's a mistake, a grave mistake.
 He never entertained a more
 foolish idea nor one which will
 bring him a smaller measure of
 respect. The world owes the
 young man nothing; but instead
 he owes the world and society an
 active, noble manhood, a steady
 honest energy which will enable
 him to associate with decent men
 and women in a true manliness of
 character that will make his
 friendship valuable and his pres
 ence and companionship desired. The truly intelligent love activity,
 and this young man should con. tribute to society's happiness and welfare the grace which canes through study, toll and honest thought.
 Our friend N. w. Teter: could not make it convenient to come to town this week so he sent a written statement congratulating THE TRIBUNE upon its enlarged and improved appearance, MT. Teter says he has been a reader of the paper since it was the "Tomahawk" way back in the 80's and that it has always been welcome visitor in his home. He reminds us that many men will spend the price of a years sub- scription for quart of "booze' and do without their home paper and then gives ten good reasons why men should not look upon the cup that inebriates, as fol- lows: 1 cannot drink with q clear conscience before God ? All christians condem drink ing as inconsistent with the christian profession. 3 It has a bad name for protesting ard dishonors the 4 Drinking offends and grieves all who are interested in the lives of men happier and better.' 5 It dissipates the mind, corrupts the heart and sears the conscience. 6 Drink ing is legal ground for the sew erance of the marriage tie. l cannot drink to the glory of God. 8. I cannot go to the saloon and then ask for the blessings of one who condemns the practice. 8 1 would not like to meet death III a saloon or in an intoxicated condition. 10 For all the fore- going reasons, have no desire to drink.
 From recent occurrences 1t IS evident that there IS burglar at large somewhere in or about Green Forest. The hardware store of Harbert Bros., was en- tered sometime Tuesday night and four or five dollars in change which had been left in the cash drawe CT was taken. The entry was made from the rear door by carving a hole in the panel large enough to run an arm through so that the inner latch could be reached and removed. It is very clear that the burglary was made by someone who was perfectly fa- miliar with the manner of fasten- ingthe door and the location of the
 latch. This is the second occur
 ence of this kind within the pas1 few days. A few nights ago the
 grocery store of Wells and At
 kinson was entered and quantity of tobacco and cigars taken out.
