To Our Patrons and Friends.

Having sold out our mercan- tile business to MT. Ben Harbert, late of Hicks, Colo, we take this method of thanking you for the very liberal patronage extended us, which has enabled us to es- stablish one of the largest mer- cantiIe businesses in the country. It is not without a feeling of deep regret that we tell you one and all good by, but we can as- sure you that you have lost nothing in the transaction which gives another our place in busi- ness circles, for Mir. Harbert is both competent and able to take care of your needs better than we have and we bespeak for him d liberal share of your business.
 On account of our having re- tired from business it is absolute ly necessary for us to collect all outstanding indebtness and those who are owing us have only un- til Oct. to square the books, as we cannot remain here longer. You can save both trouble and expense by seeing us and ar ranging the matter before that date. Respectfully yours,
 J. B. RHODES,
 RAY RHODES.

THE LOCAL MARKET.
Dave Watson's Oil Discovery

In order to preclude the possi- bility of melting a boom in which capitalists are calculated to break their necks in an effort to get on the ground floor, The Tri- bune is going to proceed with caution to announce the dis covery of petroleum almost in the suburbs of Green Forest.
 Such is nevertheless fact, and the size of the diamonds Dave Watson is to wear in the future can only be measured by the quantity of the oil he can show up. The quality is absolutely all right. It flashes readily to the application of match aud bears the smell of a Spindle Top gusher, only on a smaller scale.
 While digging in a we'll on his farm out south of town one day last week, Mr. Watson unesrth- ed a rock full of pockets ard every pocket in the stone was filled with coal oil. Dave says he must have cracked a pint out of that one stone and there were other rocks dug up with oil in their pocke ts, too.
 For 8 number of years it has been known that oil abounds in the neighborhood of the Watson's s place. His experience is only a repetition of that of others who have dug wells in that locality.
 Whether this form of existence of oil Is worth while or not The Tribune is not prepared to say.
 Watson may become an oil king and again he may not. If we were pressed for a positive opinion on the subject We would refuse to answer.
