The Story of a Medicine.

Its name-"Golden Medical Discovery " was suggested by one of it's most import ant and valuable ingredients - Golden Seal roC6.
 Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer- tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex- tract from our most valuable native me- dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed "Golden Medical Discovery" for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred Arrangements was first made, as 1t ever sin9e has b&en, without particle of alcohol ih its maRs-up.
 enes nTDtea Ss S list of its insTedl will show that it is made from the most valuable medicinal roHts\ \found growing in our American forestsS All these in- gradients have received the StTQpgesf sT- d0Issment from the leadiag- medical ex:: psr$A teacherS- -aQd- MriterS-an- -Aatel3H Wedlcl Who lecampend- them as the very sGsdsa MsdIsaCttsco1sr1E Is H advissd: I M E
 A little book of these endorsements has been compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. T., and will be mailed free to any one asking same by postal card, or letter addressed to the Doctor as above. From these endorsements, copied from standard medical books of all the differ ent schools of practice, it will be found that the ingredients composing the vGold- en Medical Discovery" are advised not only for the cure of the above mentioned diseases, but also for the cure of all ca tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections, accompanied with catarrhal discharges, hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or hang-on- coughs, and all those wasting affections which, if not promptly and properly treated are liable to terminate in consumption. Take Dr. Perce's Dis coyery in time and persevere in it's use until you give it a fair trial and it is not likely to disappoint. Too much must not be expected of it. It will not perform miracles. It will not cure consumption in its advanced stages. No medicine will. It aUfl cure the affections that lead up to consumption. G takc't i1l tinle

w. o. w. Death Claim Paid,

George Phillips, clerk of the local Woodmen of the World camp, received on last Saturday from the Sovereign camp of the order check for $500 to be paid to Mrs. Inez Bailey, widow of the late La Mont Bailey. This was rather quick work, as MT. Bailey's death occurred on the 18th of April and it was some little time after that before proof of death was sent in. Deceased was a member of the camp less than year. Had he lived and remained in good standing for a little more than year longer his b eneficiary would have been entitled to 5000.
 The soverign camp will pay for a S1O0 monument to be erected at the grave of Mr.. Bailey, as is it's custom in cases of the death to each of it's mem- bers. The local camp takes care of this matter. The monument will be erected and unveiled some time during the coming summer.
 The order of w. o. w. was founded June 6, 1890, and on January 1 this year it had a membership of COS, ,554 and had paid death claims aggregating S36, ,000, and had on hand an emergency fund of more than $8, ,00O, GOO.
 The local camp was organized in 1901 and has a membership of 45. The insurance fund is SUD- ported in the form of monthly assessments.

THE SCHOOL MEETING
Annual Election to Be Held
 Tomorrow (Saturday.)

Tomorrow (Saturday) is the annual school election and voters who are interested in good schools should not be too busy to get out to exercise ther right of fran chise, and be sure that their votes are cast in the direction of educational progress.
 In Green Forest special dis trict there are two directors to be elected to serve two years, to succeed w. A. Butt and Dr.. Poynor, and one to be elected for one year to succeed E. C.. Cooper.
 The question of county super vision is to be submitted to the voters at the school elections of the county and if it carries, as we understand it, county supervisor or superinten dent of schools will be elected this fall.
 The question of tax and rate of tax will of course, be submitted in the usual way.
 The Tribune hopes that the citzens of Green Forest will think of taking no backward step in our educational matters and we have no reason to think that they will.
 The highest rate of tax that can be voted, owing to the un- fortunate indebtedness, due to the loss of our school building by fire three years ago, is inadequate for the demands, as tits not only the contract that this indebted ness be reduced every year as we'll as the interest paid up, and to do this and maintain a school has been problem that has caused much figuring on the part of the school board here for the past two public schol terms.
 No patriotic, enterprising citizen can afford to be narrow enough to oppose the best that can be done in favor of our school interests. The Tribune has but slight personal interests 8 to serve in this matter. The fact that we have children to educate does not change our position on this question in the least. We are talking in the in : terest of the good name and we'll being of Green Forest and com- munity. When you do some- thing that detracts from these things, a property owner is hurt vastly more than he can be by the outlay of a few dollars in the shape of school tax.

Mill to Be Moved to Urbanette

There has been something doing at the Green Forest Roller Mill this week, but it does not consist in turning out flour.
 Merity Ambrose of Urbanette has had force of hands at work taking the machinery down for the purpose of the removal of same to Urbanette and unless good signs fail the equipment will be on board the cars in a few days for the purpose of transportation to it's new location
 There is good big tale hangs about the transaction that has resulted in what now seems the certain removal of the mill, the particulars of which were set forth by the Tribune last fall.
 When the Urbanette people took stock in the Carroll County Milling & Elevator Co. which was organized and incorporated laet summer for the purpose of oper- ating a mill and elevator busi- ness at Green Forest and Urba- nette the Urbanette contingent claimed to have understood that the mill was to be moved to that point as soon as last seasons business was closed up, but the interested parties at Green Forest, especially J. c. Will son, who represented the largest amount of the stock, doubted the advlsability of the change of location, and stood pat on keeping the mill here by controlling a majority stock vote. However, when the matter was looked into it was found that the Urbanette folks controlled mojority vote of the board of directors and at a meeting of the directors week ago last Mon day, it was voted to move the mill, and no formal ceremony was pronounced when Ambrose arrived upon the scene early last Monday morning armed with a big monkey-wrench and pro- ceeded to disconnect things.
 It is the purpose of the com pany, as outlined by the directors, to erect new building entirely at Urbanette and use the one here for an exchange house, where, to all intents and purposes, busi- ness will go on as heretofore.
 If nothing occurs to block the way the boys say that the wheels will be put in motion at Urbanette inside of ninety days.

SOMETIMES it seems to you that

SOMETIMES it seems to you that success is a long way off, doesn't t it? What you are doing gives you little hope or aspiration, the world is dreary and unappreci- ative and the sluggard ''it-ain't- mouse" takes possession on your heart. But say to you, friends, don't give up; get your second wind and hang on! Success is merely the application of a stout heart, determination and the passing of time. Hold fast un- til you win. Never admit you have failed. Leave that to your critics. And whatever you do, never give up. If you must be blue, be blue; but don't be blue enough to let go.

The Enormous Fence Tax.

Did it every occur to you what an enormous item of expense the building and maintaining of fences in this country is? Four fifths of this item is caused in order to enable you and your neighbors to enjoy the privelige of letting stock run out upon the commons.
 The hardware firms of Green Forest spent during the past year approximately $150O0 for wire with which the farmers of the surrounding country have been supplied. This is only one year of the many years of a heavy wire trade now in pros- pect. As the rail fences give way, wire must of necessity take their places, as the timber supply has become so nearly exhausted as to make rail fencing im- possible.
 The question is does it pay ? Would it not be infinitely better for the country to have herd law which would compel you and your neighbors all to keep your stock on your own premi ses or in rented pastures?
 The S5O0,O0O dollars that has and will be spent for wire fenc- ing in Green Pores trade territory to p roperly protect the crops of the farmers represents more profit than can be realized out of stock running upon the commons in hundred years.
 Farmers and stockmen of ex- perience tell us that it is poor economy to raise stock upon the commons; that little or no profit comes of it, and one thing sure the most prosperous farmers of the country are those who keep their stock on their own or hired pastures.
 The enormous sums sent to Eastern wire mills is gone for ever, hence it takes a prosperous country to stand such a drain !, and prosperous country would be much better off without it.
 The object this little "speel" is not to discourage wire fence building. Under present cir cumstances it is a necessity and the farmer who has reached out the farthest up on this line is to be accounted the most enterpris . ing. These thoughts are merely presented for the consideration .of the thinking people. Perhaps by the time that the country is well supplied with wire fences, a law will be passed that will to large extent make fencing un- necessary.
