After many long, weary months of intense suffering, George Thorn passed peacefully away at his home in Green Forest at ' 80 p. m., last Wednesday,, sur rounded by his devoted wife, father, brothers and sisters. It was the spirit of a tired man passing into eternal rest.
 Mr. Thorn was the victim of an accident that happened some fifteen or twenty years ago by which his spine was injured, rendering him an invalid and 6 great sufferer for the remainder of his days, and which finally re- suited in his death.
 George Alexander Thorn was a native of this country, having been born here Oct. Il, 1869, be- ing therefore 39 years, 4 months and 13 days old. On July 2, 1893, he was married to Miss Elzetta Trantham, whose devo- ton was an inspiration to him throughout his long years of suffering. He was a man of re- markable nerve, and despite his infirmity, he was very success ful business man, having for several years conducted the af- fairs of the Green Forest Sad. dlery Co.,, of which firm he was member, with excellent success.
 MT. Thorn possessed in marked degree some of the best elements of true manhood, being ruggedly honest, painstaking in business and jovial in disposi- tion. A good joke upon his best friend was the character of amusement that appealed to him most. Although he was not a church member, on his death bed he often expressed his will ingness to go, giving assurance that death to him would indeed be an entrance into rest.
 Funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. J. H. Ruble at the ia mily residence at 3 p. m., Thursday, following which in terment was made in the Pickens cemetery.

While setting a partition fen ce between their places Monday Bill Harbert and Alman Wyatt ran on to mysterious hole in the ground. Some time within the past week or ten days some per- son had dug a hole in Wyatt's field about the size of a grave to the depth of five feet. The dirt had been thrown back in loosely, giving it the appearance of a newly made grave. Thinking it to be grave the loose dirt was thrown out to find nothing. The affair is yet shrouded in the deepest sort of mystery. The hole was dug d short distan ce west of the Wyatt old residence site.
 On drive out north east last Monday, The Tribune editor saw the "remains'' of the old C.. Wash. hand press that did ser- vice in this office for about four teen years, a hurried calculation placing the number of Tribune's printed on it at 300,000. When the old press was replaced by our present cylinder press, it was no longer worth the room it oc- cupied and during Cooper's administration the old machine was sold to J. w. Fairchild, who used it to publish his Footprints. He had not had it long before his office burned, leaving the run ming geers of the old press at a lonely spot in the woods. To the editor, who has worn acres of skin off the palm of his hand in its manipulation, the sight of the old press was a forcible re- hinder of what has been.

 "Every cent of capital invest ed in the railroad is independent of any other railroad," he said.

miId laxative
 for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of the future, and whether it grows up healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weddings between birth and the age of ten, when the parents are still in greatest control.
 The prime cause of trouble is in the stomach. A baby that is digesting it's food seldom cries and always looks cheer full: tho little child whose stomach is good romps and plays and never whines; the growing child learns well at school and is eager for fun if its head is clear and it's stomach light, and that means if it has no constipation.
 The best and safest way to cure any irregularity of the stomach and bowels in children is by the use of pr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. This is a liquid laxative wonderful in it's effect as Mrs; John ". Dunham, Apple. Creek, O., Mrs. II. L. Cullanl, Fiainville Ind, and numerous others can testify who give it to their children with extraordinary results.
 A bottle only costs 50 cents or $1 &C., one 50-cent bottle will do a wonderful amount of good in a family. It can be given to any member of the family. in constipation, sour stomach, indigestion, headache and similar digestive troubles. It never gripes or strangles like pills, tablets, salts and powders, which should not be given to children, women or old folks
 If you have a child or other member of the family who needs but has never used this grand laxative tonic, send your name and address to the doctor and a free trial bottle will be sent to your home. In this way you can find out what it will do without DerSOnal eXDenSe,

Many persons who have not heretofore contracted to grow have come unsolicited this year, while several of those who have grown every year since the fac- tory was started are to be num- bered among the early con- tractors.
 Tomato growing does not differ widely from every other industry under the sun. There are those who see no profit in it and those who flatly failed in their efforts, while there are others who have continually realized excellent profit.
 As the industry gets older and experiment adds to the capital of every grower, it is reasonable to conclude that the profits will become much greater to the grower and the amount of the products correspondingly in- creased. That has been the his- tory of tomato production in this country so far.
 Every farmer can produce few acres of tomatoes with great profit, if he will go about the matter right, and in figuring on diversification of his crop he should give tomatoes a promi- nent place.
 To raise an exclusive crop of tomatoes is putting too much at risk on one product. A failure would mean ruin in growing to- matoes the same as it would in anything else. Then, there is the labor problem in the matter of harvesting. No farmer is safe in growing a much larger acre. age than he and his family and permanently employed hired help can take care of.
 The contracts so far this sea. son are nearly all just the kind that pleases the management of the factory, each grower having not burdened himself with more than he can care for easily along with his other crops.
 The 3O0-acre mark on con- tracts will probably be reached in a week or two and contracts after that will be based upon the condition that the total acreage secured will amount to not less than 800 acres, as 300 acres will tax the present capacity of the cannery and it will not be en- larged unless 200 acres more should be secured.
 Just now word of caution m sowing seed would seem advisable as it is very important that the
