Elder J. A. Weaver was in town Sat.
urday last for the first time since his
return from Minot, where he submitted
to having his left leg amputated, AMI it
was generally remarked among his

Chris Thompson, of this place, who
has long been the right hand man in

has purchased an established hardware,
furniture and agricultural implement
business at Turtle Lake, on the N. p.
branch west from. Darlington, and left

and a gentleman Of experience in that
particular business. Chris informs The
Tribune that the town is the center for
a large and prosperous area Of country,
hence he looks forward to a busy time
and lucrative business, and it is the
hope of2his many friends here that he
may realize his fondest anticipations.
The Tribune received long commun-
ication few days ago condemnatory
of certain townspeople whom the writer
would have our readers believe are
playing double in the matter of ridding
the town of blind pigs and intemper-
ance generally, in that while pretend
ing to work for the determination of
the illegal traffic, they are but wink
ing at those engaged init and in fact en-
couraging the thing:--behind the scenes.
The editor Of The Tribune is neither
judge, lawyer or policeman. We pass
that up to the village, county and state
authorities. If we can aid the cause of
right, justice and decency in any way,
shape or form, our services are as free
as the air. which is pretty cheap. But
we are not going to condemn this or
that man because some fellow has
crouch on. We have been on earth
long enough to learn that some things
some people say are not so, and there
fore like to give the party ''under a
cloud" the benefit of the doubt. The
following rhymed advise of contem-
porary might fit the case of our corre-
spondent:
If you have an inclination
To be savage, cross and mean,
Careless in your conversation,
Full of bitterness and spleen,
Put aside the wicked habit;
Charge upon it with a shout!
Seize itLgrab it! Stick it!-stab it!
Cut it out.
