Liver Trouble
 Remedy Free

Any intelligent person can be his own doctor in the ordinary case of liver trouble, for the symptoms can not be mistaken. If the white of the eye becomes yellowish, if the skin be- comes sallow, if pimples and blotches appear, if the bowels do not move, if you have sick headache, if you are bilious, you may be sure that your liver is torpid or inactive.
 The quickest and Surest remedy yet found for the cure of liver trouble or any of its symptoms is Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup This wonderful remedy is not only a laxa- tive, but a tonic as well. It will start the flow of gastric juice, thereby soon enabling the liver to do it's work natur- ally. A bottle of this great liver remedy can be bought of any druggist for 50 cents or s1, and in many cases a single bottle has cured a chronic case.
 For example, John W. Lee, 619 s. Penn- sylvania ave, Indianapolis, Ind, had a stubborn and very long standing case of j9undice, etc. and it cured him. Mrs B. F1incham, Jackson, Ky, says the same f it. Thousands of families keep it In the house against just such an emer- gency, as you can never tell when some member of the family will need good t2Xa tive
 In order to have you or any other suf- serer from the liver make a test of Dr. TaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin without personal expense, Dr. Caldwell will send you free md address. The sample will show you how pleasant it is to take, how gently it works. It will start you on the cure of your trouble and convince you that you the sample, and the doctor urges you to send for if today

to know that there are any who even hesitate.
 For the most part the land leased lies along the north base and on the side of the mountain extending from L. s. Shibley's place around east to Len Whites, some four miles distant. It is understood, however, that most everything is desired between the railroad track and the top of the mountain, for a distance of about five miles.
 The plans of Payne & Reese have not been given out, but it seems safe to predict that no time will be lost now in their prepar- ation to get on the ground with machinery. It is supposed that they have everything needed in stock on their possessions about Tulsa, where they have gained experience and wealth in the oil business.
 Those interested are now some- what concerned to know where the first well is to be put down. This too is question upon which the promoters have shed no light, but we take it that they will be- gin work some where very close to the Watson well, where such striking indications of oil has been developed, and which at- tracted the promoters this way.

Oil Men Mean Business.

The are no striking indications of a boom yet apparent, but there is an under-current of excite- ment concerning the prospects for the development of oil and gas about Green Forest, and the business-like manner in which Messrs Payne & Reese of Tulsa, Okla., are going about the secur- ing of leases leads to the con- clusion that we will soon see a deep well in process here.
 The very day that the firm was notified last week that the re- qusite two thousand acres had been leased another check was sent to pay for leases on 200O acres more with instructions to Judge Butt that they had plenty money to pay for leases after this is spent.
 There are few who do not glad . ly respond to the request for leases on their land and none yet have absolutely refused, though some are holding back. No farmer can afford to discour- age this enterprise, if he will figure it right, and we are sorry
