FROM our own correspondent.
Feb g. 1880.
Our town keeps steadily growing. We
need some men of solid sense and substance
TO develop the excellent water power in our
valley, with the assurance that it will pay.
Pope county has excellent land, grass,
timber ana water, waiting to be put to good
use. Those who are seeking good homes,
cheap, will need to come quick to get them
before they are gone.
At last we have a shoemaker, whose
main business must be to cobble boots, as
we have so many ready made boots and.
shoes. Still it is good to have some one
care for our soles, that we may have good
understanding, as we pass along together
through life. We not only wear. but are
pretty steady CATERS, rs we are sober
people, having no license to sell or use ar
dent spirits, wine, beer, or cider Yet,
some ardent spirits are thinking after Ii
cense again, 1t is expected that matter
will be voted on again at the coming town

except in Maine, Vineland, and many other
respectable towns, without whisky. We
have tried license and no license here for
| 10 or 12 years, and find the latter produces
quiet, good order, prosperity and respecta-

Tribute TO Gen. George Sykes.

For the Tribune.
The obituary notice of Gen. George
Sykes, U. S. A, published in the Pioneer
Press, of ST. Paul, Feb. 18th, inst, is a cor
rect and just tribute to his memory. We
would add, in recounting the deeds of one
who served his country SO well, that he
was born in Maryland and was true to the
Union. His first fight was in the storming
of Monterey, i'll 1047, under Old Zachary
Taylor, when men were shot down beside
him like corn-stalks." c. F. Hoffman has
immortalzed the fray, as only a poet can.
Major Sykes commanded the reserve of
regulars at Centerville, and held the field,
after the sad Bull Run defeat and flight;
thus covering the city of Washington. He
would not allow his photograph to be TAX
EN-, and therefore does not appear among
the Generals of the War" Sykes was d
warrior after David's order, as noted for
heart as for head. Thinking it better to be
good" than sublime 1t is consoling,
when man of note dies, that we can imi-
tate his virtues, if we will. In general they
are extolled too high for mortals to think
of embling. Sykes was gentleman in
the school of Christ His religious training
was in the Episcopal Church. Ills surviv-
ing relatives will write upon his monument
these words: Another child of God gone
home" COUSIN PAGE.

HERMAN, MINI, Feb. 0, 1880.

EDITOR TRIBUNE. MORRIS, MINI:
DEAR SIR:-Noticing little article in
your paper, with regard to Prof. Root, who
recently taught class in Benson, and be-
ing acquainted with all the facts in the
case, l feel in duty bound, as friend to
him, (but entirely disinterested) to in some
way vindicate him. The three ladies in
question, signed the paper understanding
of course that they were to pay the $1.50,
and one of the ladies, to my certain knowl-
edge, offered to pay the amount at time of
signing paper, but Mr.. Root, supposing
her to be lady, told her it would make no
difference if she did not pay until term
closed, and one Of the three attended sew
eral evenings. The above facts do not
look much as though the paper was signed
out of compliment to Mr.. Root.
l know Mr. Root to be gentleman, and
only for the encouragement of citizens of
Benson, to legal proceedings, he would
gladly have let the matter drop.
Yours, respectfully,
B. L. CURTIS

SLAVERY IN THE SOUTH,

The Mobile Gazette, of Sunday last,
contains an account of the selling OF
thirty colored people into legal slavery.
They were nominal convicts, but the
Eutaw Mirv0r, a Democratic paper,
says that very few of them had been
guilty of any real offence against the
laws of Alabama or the nation. This
thing should and must be investigated.
1t is only a day or two since a similar
case occurred in Virginia, and more
aggravated one in Kentucky. In the
Alabama case women and children, as
well as men, were sold to private in
dividuals for term of years. Only
colored people were sold, and the
Gazette says that they were sold into
slavery as real and as cruel as that
of ante-bellum times.

Our sprightly contemporary, the
New York Rum0r, thus replies to a
few of our interrogatories:
The SENTINEL, of Trenton, N. j., pro-
pounds to US a query based upon an article
which appeared in one of our late issues.
We would answer the same by saying that
the demnition bow-wows made famous BY
the late lamented Mr.. Mantilini, one Of
Dickens rare creations, is popularity sup
posed to be that bourne from whence no
traveller returns, and whose location is redo
lent of sulphuric favors. And in regard to
the condition of our race should the So
called interest of this nation be consigned
TO that locality lin a meophonious sense as
was our intent, we have only to say that we
believe that matters would still trot along
in the usual manner. The fact is, that there
is frightful amount of buncombe shot off
about the Republic and its ultimate evil
fate, and of course the black man is continu-
ally invoked to save the country at the ex-
pense of his own national interest This,
we believe. is not at all as it should be.
!. We can realize the fact that we have some
thing to be grateful for, and should be will
ing to sacrifice something but when it is
considered that the Caucasians almost have
and hold preference and predominance over
us in every and all good things common to
this Republic, we may be pardoned, nay
more, we believe it is our duty 10 be selfish
TO that extent, wherein our rights and privi-
leges may be conserved. This is what We
mean when we say it is high time we per-
mitted the salvation of the nation to be en-
trusted to those who should be as much, if
not more, deeply interested in its success,
inasmuch as they have all the honors, all
the glory, all the wealth, and the black man
only the cold reflection of the selfshness of
The dominant race"
