Money to be made,

It Is said that dull times are not
known by the agents for the great
publishing house Of George Stinson &
Co., Of Portland, Maine. The reason
of this exceptional success Ia found in
the fact that they always give the pub
lie that which is keenly appreciated
and at prices that all can afford. At
present we understand, their agents
are doing wonderfully well on several
new lines. They need many more
agents in all parts of the country.
Those who need profitable work
should apply at once. Women do as
well as men. Experience 10 not
necessary, for Messrs. Stinson & Co.
undertake to show all who are will
ing to work. not hard but earnestly,
the path to large success. It should
be remembered that on agent can do
handsome business without being
away from home over night. Another
advantage-it costs nothing to give
the business trial, and an agent can
devote oil his time, or only his spare
moments to 1t. Stinson & Go. guaran-
tee grand success to all who engage
and follow simple and plain directions
that they give. We have not space to
explain all here, but full particulars

the firm; their full address is given

A PHENOMENON IN JOURNALISM.

In the fall of 1884 there was farm
er's paper established at Minneapolis,
containing is pages, 81 columns, and
published two times monthly at a
subscription price of only so cents a
year. So ridiculously cheap did this
price appear that its early death was
frequently and openly predicted.
However, its fearless attacks upon
the many organized wrongs which OPP
pressed the farmers of the Northwest,
and its general excellence, convinced
them Gifts loyalty to their cause and
it's value as an educator, and induced
such liberal support that the most
successful and popular farm parer in
this country is now Farm Stock and
Home. By a special arrangement
with the publishers we can furnish it
in connection with the TRIBUNE for
one year, to all who pay III advance,
for $500. Every farmer should have
it. 46t4

Some ofour exchanges are now ask
ing that the animosities engendered
by their course during the campaign
be forgotten, and promise to run a
different paper in the future and drop
politics. 1t will occur TO most people
that it would have been much more
proper and sensible for these editors
to have considered this question be-
fore doing anything to engender ami
mostly, for which there was no call.
This thing of abuse and misrepresen-
tation of the opposition every cam
paign, and then begging to let the
past be forgotten, is not only very
monotonous, but senseless, and people
see through the veil and judge such
editors accordingly. A newspaper
should say nothing of which it is as
named, and it should not be excused
during campaign times more than any
other.-Northfield News.

If tie knights of Labor can infuse
in the mass Of the organization the
same ideas Of personal habits as are
voluntarily acted on by the managers,
they will do much to improve the
status of workingmen, whether la
borers or mechanics. There already
has been much improvement in this
respect, the change being attributable
to more intelligent estimates of the
value of good habits than those which
prevailed generation ago. It was
considered not unusual for a first-class
workman to have his periodical sprees,
and to be free liver in the coarser
meaning of the term; indeed, the
union of loose habits and the reputa-
ton for competence to do good job
appeared to be natural and expected.
"Blue Mondays" were common, the
best workmen not putting in an APP
pearance until Tuesday, requiring a
day to get over the weekly debauch.
Such men appeared to consider that
their skill as mechanics entitled them
to license that was injurious to them
selves and harmful to the employers
interests.
But the employers tire OF these
practices, and the dissipated work
man cannot so readily assume on his
skill as an excuse for his bad habits
the old notion of the union of drunk
enness and duty, of immortality and
ability, of high pay and low habits, is
exploded. One of the most competent
and efficient foundry foremen the
writer ever knew lost his place in the
establishment where he managed
nearly fifty men, and his caste in the
community, by his persistent practices
of Incorporate drinking. Said the
manager, shortly after his dismissal
~ hardly know how to fill his place
There are not half a dozen men in the
country who are his equals in the
mixing of irons, the tempering o
sand, and the carefulness Of genera
management. I never lost casting

But needed him six days in the

judgment, and his full capacity. / d.
not require my men to become tota

It may be a necessity that employs
unreliable skill and presumptivt
talent, but employers will apply 6

workman May be certain that per.
sonal good character and personal
good habits are compatible with

MURDER IN AMERICUS.
Pat Erskinc Killed in Bagmo Sat
urdaV Night.

AMERGcUs, Ga, October 1S.-
a cutting atfray took place Satur-
day night at the house of Annie
Moore, a woman of bad reputa-
ton. Pat Erskine was severely
cut, and died from the wounds
yesterday afternoon. Henry
Black and the woman are under
arrest for the crime.
THE CASE IN COURT.
The coroner's jury went into
session at six p m. Sunday, and
did not give verdict until 3 a, IN.
to-day. Then they gave the fol
lowing verdict:
We. tie jury, ind that deceased Pat.
rick Erskine, came to his death from 4
stab in the back inflicted hy knife in the
hands of II IL. Black, and Annie Moore,
accessory.
On Saturday night Pat Erskine
visited Annie Moore, with whom
he had been intimate for q long
time. Arriving there, as the evi-
dence is, he found Henry Black
there asleep. Pat, as his custom
was, awoke Black and asked him
if he had anything to drink.
Black replied that he had not, but
n friend in another room had.
Soon after he left the room En-
kline begun to upbraid Annie for
having a man there and leaving
him out in the cold. She replied
that she could not help it. From
one word to another they got into
a tustle, and she pushed him off.
Henry Black claims that he said
nothing after this, but Bette
Gaskine says that when she went
into the room she found Pat and
Annie fighting.
Erskine died at the house of
Annie More, and up to few
hours previous to his death the
women inmates denied any knowl-
edge of any wounds, nor did he
divuIge his condition until DR..
Westbrook examined him.
Mr.. Black is one of the fore
