The Blessing of Farm Life.

An Iowa exchange says that among
the two hundred inmates;:lD the re-
form school at MitchellviIle and
Eldora, not one boy or girl is founc
who were born on farm. The glare
and glamour of town life is parti u
larly attractive to some of thel farm
grown boys and girls, who possibly
regret that the days of youth are
spent on a farm. 1t may be a mile
o. SO to the school house and there
may be a multitude of chores, but
later in life, the farm boy, unimpair
ed physically. with good morals and
a fine education, is found at the head
of all great public and private enter
prises. Then the blessing of the
early farm life will be most appreci.

VOL. XIV, NO. l.

The TRIBUNE with this issue enters
upon the twenty-fifth year of its exis-
tence and puSs itself out to get out a
little larger edition than usual in
consequence of the event. We do
not attempt to present in this num-
Der comprehensive review OF the
business men of Morris, but only take
cursory glance at Morris as we find
it today. We are especially fortunate
however to present this week an ex-
cellent pen sketch of the business
portion of our thriving village, with
few other views of only the principal
buildings in the city. Nevertheless
we feel that we have succeeded in
getting up an edition which is ere
dit both to the town and to ourselves
and one which many of our friends
will be glad to send away to their
friends in other parts of this state and
adjoining states.
We wish to take this opportunity
to thank our many friends for their
liberal patronage and assure
them. that it is our earnest desire to
continue the publication of paper
in which thew can take the same just
pride which they have in the past.

RISE COMING.

Pittsburg, January 4.-There is every
indication of another rise in the rivers.
The Allegheny and Monongahela are
rising at nearly all points, and, as rain
is predicted for tonight, a good sized
river is looked for unless the weather
turns very cold. Colder weather is
predicted for tomorrow night, but if
it rains tonight the rain will have all
reached the rivers before that time.
There is some coal loaded and awaiting
shipment, but there is not a. great
amount of it. What coal is loaded is
chiefly being held in the pools, but it
can soon be gotten out for shipment.

DON I N EGLECT
A COMMON CASE OF PILES.
It May Lead to SERIOUS Results.

- nay AcaA 20 SERIOUS hSbuAtAs
When people generally under
stand that all such fatal diseases
as fistula, ulcer of the rectum, fis-
sure, etc., almost invariably begin
in simple case of Piles, they will
learn the wisdom of taking prompt
treatment for the first appearance
of trouble in this quarter. The
Pyramid Pile Cure will certainly
cure every form of piles, itching,
bleeding, protruding or blind piles,
and hundreds of lives have been
saved by using this cheap but eff
fective remedy right at the start,
because at such time a single
package will affect a cure, while in
the old chronic, deep seated cases,
several packages are sometimes
necessary before a lasting cure is
affected.
Physicians are using the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure in preference to
surgical operations and with uni
form success. The remedy is pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., of
Marshall, Mich, and for sale by
druggists everywhere at so cents
and 81 per package.

cure of piles.
