The trade territory of a town IS not-a all dependent upon tho distance to neighboring trading points. The trade territory de- pends upon the enterprise of the merchants and the residents of the town. If town does not reach after the trade it will come only as fast as it has to, and it will grow as is forced to. But if the merchants go after busi- in the surrounding country, advertising in every possible way, and making good every word of their advertising, trade will come from an increasing radius, the town will gain repu- tation for being awake and it will forge to the front. It is the men in the town and not altogether the men living within a certain number of miles from it that makes the town. Green Forest have done much to widen our our trade territory.

An Improvement Association.

While all the towns around us are forming association of their business men for the purpose of improving the towns, what is the reason our town can not have one? It will cost nothing to meet once in two or four weeks and talk over the situation. While it might not do much to boom the town, yet we should get better acquainted with one another and with one another's wants and wishes. A community of spirit creates an enthusiasm which is very apt to display itself in some direction. The old saying that everything comes to him who waits, may have been true in the old time, but under the spirit of the present age if person wants thing he must go after it. We believe their is a go-ahead spirit enough in town to carry an im- provement association through to good results if it were only started; and we also believe that after it was fairly started the good effects of it would be felt immediately. Perhaps not as some cities have done in getting great branches of industry to settle here, but in plans for beautifying and improving what we have, and in being ready to embrace opportunities, if any should come. An association of this kind, it seems to us, would be pleasant and profitable, even if not much in the way of "boom" come from it. Will not some one make move in the matter?

DON'T LEAVE ARKANSAS
If You Would Avoid Much
 Worry and Lots of Expense
CHANGES ARE YOU'LL RETURN
With Nothing but Unprofitable Experience to Your Credit

Occasionally a man grows dissatisfied with Arkansas" says the Lamar Sentinel. "The milk is too yellow or the honey is too sweet, and he dosen't Hike them to flow his land away. So he parts with his farm, sells his live stock and other things too numerous to mention, and starts for the west. Once there, he uses his Arkansas money and buys a farm, which to-day is and tomorrow is not, because the wind has blown it away. Or, perchance he tried Colorado, and slushes in the mud irrigating g strip of cotton so narrow that a COW can't jump in the field with out jumping over it.
 "He hears of Texas and goes down to hunt the bag of gold at the end of the rainbow. In the day time he crashes the sand- burs out of his flesh, and at night the centipedes crawl over his body. When his money is all gone he feels like he did the first night he stayed from home. He yearos for good old Arkansas, and the yearn sticks his throat and chokes him until tears come into his eyes. He would give a months wages to see the COWS standing at the bars on his old Arkansas farm and hear old familiar horn blow for supper.
 Memory is a marvellous painter and paints best the things we love best. It pictures 10 the traveller the corn silking, the field he once owned, the cotton stretching away in 8 sea of pure white snow. It shows him trees that whispered to his children at play, points to the roses in the corner of the fence, and with infinite details paints a thousand things that touch the heart and reveal the old home place. Happy is the man who wakes from his sleep to find that he has wandered from old Arkansas only in his dreams. So good people of Arkansas, think twice before you leave the old home place."

senators over the continued ab- sence of Senator "Jeff" Davis of Arkansas from his duties in the senate. Senator Davis disap- peared from Washington the day after he made his maiden speech early in December and has been in his seat since. He has missed two opportunities of advancing his petition on committees, and today missed a chance to shift himself to a more advantageous position.
 Senator William James Bryan of Florida, the young member, obtained the seat which would have gone to Davis.
 Owing to his declaration in his first speech that the trust had boasted that they would soon "have him eating out of their hands" and his protest that this would never happen several of minority members today declare that he had undoubtedly gone in- to hiding to avoid capture.
 By remaining absent for the first four weeks of his first session Senator Davis has broken all records, since the senators seldom miss the opening prayer and the closing executive meet ing of single session during the first four or five months congress is in session.

NUMBER AZ

w.. F. Davis, of Cisco, this state. MT. Davis was a guest at the Goudelock residence in this city on New Years night and told of the illness of a mutual friend, Mrs. Alley Shipman, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Wm. Miller, who live near Cisco, and of how there was no hope of her restoration to health, but she was patiently waiting for death to releave her sufferings.
 Upon MT. Davis return home, hs found that a wonderful thing had occurred on New Years day, when Mrs. Shipman was restored to health by the Divine power of God, in answer to prayer. Her parents and the invalid are ear nest Christians, and say they will never cease to praise the Lord for his goodness.
 Mrs. Shipman has been afflict- ed for nineteen months, never being able to stand or sit up moment during these many months. Then for the last two weeks of the old year she hadn't been able to speak a word, and for much longer time she had been unable to hold a spoon, or feed her self, being fed like g baby.
 Upon learning the good news after his return home MT. Davis immediately went to see the miraculously healed friend and she talked with him, sitting up in the rocker mean while and said she was healed.
 Rev. Goudelock has known Mrs. Shipman since she was an infant, and had known of her serious condition for long time, and he is naturally rejoicing to lsarn of her recovery.-Eureka Springs Times Echo.
 The Tribune called the at- tention of Mrs. Miller, mother of Mrs. Shipman, to the above item over the phone Monday and in- quired as to it's correctness. Mrs. Miller said it is a fact that Mrs. Shipman's condition had been wonderfully improved in the manner mentioned, and that while the patient is yet only able to sit up part of the time, she is steadily improving.
 Mrs. Miller herself had a simi- lar experience to this about four years ago, rising immediately from what was thought to be her death bed to return to health and vigor.

the room is cold and button is off, and the beefsteak is tough, and the stove smokes, and the pipes burst, and you start down street nettled from head to foot. All day long things are adverse. Insinuations, petty losses, mean ness on the part of customers. The ink bottle upsets, and spells the carpet. Some one gives a wrong turn to the damper, and the stove smokes. An agent comes in determined to insure your life, when it is already in- sured for more than it is worth, and you are afraid some one will knock you on the head to get the price of your policy; but he sticks to you, showing you pictures of Old Time and the hour glass, aud the death s cythe, and skeleton, making it quite certain that you will die before your time unless you take out papers in this company. Besides this you have a cold in your head, and a grain of dirt in your eye, and you are a walking uneasiness.
 The day is out of joint and no surgeon can set it. The proba- bility is that if you would look at the weathervane you would find that the wind is northeast, and you might remember that you have lost much sleep lately. It might happen to be that you are out of joint instead of the day. Be careful and not write many letters while you are in that territable mood. You will pen some things in the way of criticism or fault finding that you will be sorry for afterwards. Let us remember that these spik- ed nettles of life are part of our discipline. Life would get nauseating if it were all honey. The table would be poorly set that had on it nothing but treacle.
 We need little vinegar, mus tard, pepper and horseradish that brings the tears even when we do not feel pathetic. If this world were all smoothness we should never be ready for emil grafton to higher and better. Clustering March and weeping April prepare us for shining May. This world is poor hitching- post. Instead of tying fast on the cold mountains, we had bet ter whip up and hasten on toward the warm inn, where our good friends are looking out of the window watching to see us come up.

The man who vert out to milk and sat down on boulder in the middle of the pasture and waited for the COW to back up, was a brother to the man who kept a store and wouldn't advertise be- cause he reasoned that the pur- chasing public would back up to his place of business, when it wanted something.

Judge T. H. Humphreys. who is candidate for associate jus tice of the Arkansas Supreme Court, is circulating a petition gotten up in regular legal form, addressed to the Peoples Court of Arkansas, and alleging certain reason why he should be elected in preference to his opponent Judge Wood, and praying that all dem- ocrats vote for him and against the defendant, Judge Wood. The circular is adorned with 8 half tone likeness of the candi- date.

PINDALL PLAYING HAVOC
Battering Senator Davis Po-
 litica1 Machinery to Pieces
ACTING GOVERNOR VIND|CTIVE
Secretary of State to Aid Gov
 ernor on the Election Board

Little Rock Correspondent Commercial App cal Gov. Pindall is slowly but surely playing havoc with Sem ator Jeff Davis political machine in Arkansas. It is another ap- plication of the old adage "'fhe king is dead; long live the king" Senator Davis is just beginning to realize that as governor If the state, with the pardoning and appointive power at his com mand, he was a much greater man and can do a great deal more for his friends that he can as Democratic member of the United States senate with d Re- publican president in the ex- ecutive chair.
 The Commercial Appeal cor respondent for several days past has had an opportunity of witness practical demonstration of the power of the governor when it comes to smashing the machines of political enemies. Gov. Pin dall's mail is laden with letters from former members of Senator Davis forces which he always took pleasure in designating as the "old guard,'' pledging their loyalty to him and promising to assist bim in every way in their power to elect candidates favor- able to his admin strations and policies.
 Many of these letters came from the Eastern part of the state where experience has taught tho writers that the governor is a bigger man than half dozen United States senators when it comes to distributing state patronage. Especially will Gov. Pindall's strength be conceded since Secretary of State Ludwig has announced to the world that he will work with the governor in the selection of election com missioners for the various counties of the state. The gov ernor and secretary of the state compose majority of the state election board. The gov ernor will also appoint eight members of the St. Francis levee board the coming spring.
 Secretary of State Ludwig gave out the following statement:
 s'I understand it has been an nounced in certain sections of Eastern Arkansas that his efforts to break down the anti -adminis- tration machine, built up in that part of the state by a former governor, who used the patron age of the St. Francis levee board for his personal benefit. I wish to say that I would like to see partisan feeling and personal politics removed from the make- up of all state boards and state institutions, but in the present instance I am with Gov. Pindall from start to finish, and do not wish any friend of mine in East ern Arkansas to feel that I would sacrifice him in order to gain support for myself. I would rather retain the good will and respect of my friends, and am willing to stand in line against the rule of any dictator seeking to control every departmen of the state government in order to strengthen his power. I am standing now just where I have stood for six years, yet I have tried to be fair and just to all men, regardless of their personal alliance. Ihave known no fac- tion, either to favor or oppose. Today I think Gov. Pindall's arm should be upheld, and so far as my support goes he shall have it along certain lines.'

COMMENT ON
COAL CONTRACT
Cheap Port Charges and Fa-
cilities for Loading Sc
ured the Business.

There was considerable comment
in Pensacola yesterday, especially
among those interested. in shipping.
in the announcement that the Nation
al Railways of Mexico, which controls
number of railroads in Mexico, is
to ship 10000 tons OF coal per month
through this port to Vera Cruz for
twelve months.
The fact that Pensacola was chosen
as the point of export after all ports
had been investigated and some of
them tested, again brought out forci-
bly, Pensacola's excellent advantages
as a point Of export. While the rate
on coal from Alabama is slightly low
er than other gulf ports. due to the
shorter haul, this difference is not
great, but the port charges and IA
cilities in handling cargoes of this
nature are so much cheaper as to
make a wide difference when it
comes to handling a big contract. In
Mobile there are towage charges,
while in Pensacola steamers can come
direct to the wharVes. The pilotage
charges are lower than at Mobile,
while wharfage is also cheaper, as
shown by the report of the Louisiana
commission. Then the facilities are
such that vessels can get a cargo of
coal and leave Pensacola before they
are locked at Mobile, and this saves
hundreds of dollars to each vessel
that will come here for coal

MUCH BENEFIT
WOULD RESULT
Pensacola Will Secure the
Business if Inland Wa
terway Materializes.

An inland waterway from Mobile
bay TO Eseamhia bay would result in
much additional business to Pensacola
as 1t would open UP a territory which
is now afforded but little. accommo
dations for the handling of products
Explaining this proposed inland water
way the Onloeker, published at Foley,
Ala, of recent date, says:
The senate commerce committee
has reported without amendment the
concurrent resolution authorizing an
examination and survey of an inland
waterway from Mobile bay to Perdido
bay; Ala, and from Perdido bay, Ala,
to Escambia bay, Fla, for the purpose
of estimating the cost of a 3OO-fOot
wide canal nine feet deep.
Bon Secour bay and Perdido bay
come within four miles of each other
and at high tide the waters of the two
bays come together. 1t is only five
eighths of a mile from Perdido bay to
Pensacola bay at Brent's Ditch, where
logs are sent through singly from one
bay to another. a ditch about four
feet wide having been cut and planked
up to keep the sand from filing in,
and thousands of logs from Baldwin
county are sent through this ditch
each year to the mills at Pensacola.
Thus it will be seen by cutting less
than five miles of canal through a per-
fectly level country inside traffic can
be had between Mobile and Pensacola
for light draught vessels, bringing the
two cities much nearer together. This
means that small vessels will not have
to encounter the storms of the gulf
and tremendous traffic would be car
ried on between these cities through
the little canal.
However, this is not all. BY coming
the Rigolettes into Mississippi
sound, through Grants Pass, across
Mobile bay, through the two little
canals that Senator Johnston Is max
ing inquiries about, across Pensacola
bay, thence into Santa Rosa sound, the |
cities of Apalachicola, Fla, and New
Orleans would be connected by an in.
side route. a man being able to sail
the 400 miles between the two cities |
