Band of Silk Thieves?

Meador's Bros. & Busey have not yet discovered a clue as to the burglars who releived them of their silks some time ago, but are of the opinion that there is an organization of silk thieves working in Oklahoma and North Texas, with receiving point for stolen goods somewhere in Texas. This conclusion is reached from the fact that stores at Durant, Madill, Ardmore and Sulphur and number of other towns have had silks stolen, and in every instance, en- trance was effected by means of du- plicate key, the goods being packed in suit cases, after which the burglars locked the door and made their gate way.
 The above item is clipped from the Wetumka, (Okla.) Gazette. The character of these thefts are identical with the one Coxsey & Co. of Green Forest experienced several months ago. The thieves entered their store by means of a duplicate key and the only arti- cles of much consequence taken was silk, but they made a clean sweep, taking something over S2OO worth. The goods were taken to a barn near by where tn ey were evidently packed and were doubtless disposed of in the same manner as those taken from the Oklahome stores.

SPRING is here without a doubt; the small boy has doffed his shoes and stockings, donned his last years straw hat and with his pockets full of marbles can be seen down on his knees in the dirt deep in the mysteries of knuckle and taw. A few days later when tired of mar bles you will find him on the banks of a creek with a can full of worms, hickory pole and fish line, having glorious time. The buds on the tree will hardly show a tint of green before he will be swimming, taking cramps and just missed being drowned, hav- ing oceans of fun, bad colds and sore throat. Oh, halcyon days of youth, oh spring time of life, oh days of humps, measles and stonebruises, all too quickly you fly; the boy grows to manhood; old age grows on apace, a few more years and he totters on the brink of the grave; yet man never grows so old but that in the spring when the boys first get out with their marbles he will stop a moment to watch the game and memory will recall days long since past.

Ratio About Two to Nothing

Speaking in round numbers there are twenty-five drummers visit Green Forest each week in the year, selling our merchants the various wares that go to make up the mercantile field. These Ambassadors" with ready pen- cil and order book sell us a round S100,000 worth of goods during the lapse of time from January to January.
 But this is not all, this vast amount of goods is supplemented during the twelve-month with an even S50,0O0 worth more of dependables and luxuries that are bought by our merchants who go into market.
 These goods are in turn con- sumed by the people who reside within the radius of Green For est trade territory in the same length of time.
 In Green Forest we have fifty men engaged in business of va- rious kinds and characters. Two firms are engaged in buy ing the county's products. The other forty eight are sellers. In other words, four per cent are engaged in business that brings money into the country, the other ninety six per cent are engaged in business that carries the money out of the country.
 The same ratio stands good with reference to the commercial men who come to buy. Proba- bly, two.come for the purpose of buying our products, while forty eight come to sell.
 The proportion of the buyer to the seller is almost two to noth- ing The difference is thor. oughly visible to blind man.
 Do you wonder that many of our people are afflicted with the complaint that money is hard to get? Are you not really amazed when you think seriously about it that conditions are as favora- ble as they are?
 These "statistics'' are given you. for food for thought, along with other articles we have writ ten upon the same subject.
 This country is afflicted with a disease that it will take time to cure if not a revolution in our entire business affairs.
 II we ever expect to grow out of this one-sided business we must get busy and SOW the seeds NOW.

 r Trial Is Esreo

It is a popular mistake that only wealthy people who eat rich and highly-spiced foods suffer from dys- pepsia, or, as it is also known, indi- gestion The laborer in the street, the worker in the field also finds him self victim of this disorder. Among the very greatest sufferers from 1t are women.
 Dyspepsia is indicated by constant feeling of laziness, by loss of appetite and troubled sleep. by sour stomach and dis tress after eating, by bad complexion and lusterless eyes.
 There is no surer and speedier cure for this trouble than Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin, which dyspeptics have been using successfully for twenty years. This great herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark, Of Buffalo, Ia.. of dyspepsia and sour stomach that he had had for forty years. or until the lucky day that he heard of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. It cured Joel Adams, of Montgomery Ala, after suffering continuously for sixteen months. These are only a few of the many; But 1t is not expensive to be cured with this grand remedy. as it can be bought at any drug store in 5o-cent or s1 bottle. Your very. neighbors are probably life but if you want to know without expense what 1t will do for you personally, send your name to Dr. Caldwell and he will be glad to send you a free trial bottle. He is actually anxious to have you make 6 test of his remedy.
 Thousands of families everywhere keep 1t In the house against such an emer- gency as constipation, sour stomach, in- digestion. biliousness, dyspepsia, heart burn, torpid liver, etc., which may come on a member of the family any day.
