One Talent.

Dear Readers of THE TRIBUNE:
 I want to say a word or two to you about the present outlook. I don't think there ever was time when it was more import ant for one to read the news of the day and the Bible and then compare them. We all have an index finger within us, pointing the right way, a sure way and that is just what want to call your attention to. Each one of us represents two distinct persons and we should be very careful which one dictates for us. The e is only one way to do right but there are many ways to do wrong. Perhaps many of us fall short of what we would like 10 be on ac. count of age and afflictions or troubles of this life. But We can all stand for the right, notwith- standing the difficulties under- which we labor. It should be our every aim to plake this old world better. It is by our fruits that we are known. If we knew when walking thought less in the noisy, crowded way that our feet might trample some rare jewels and bring tears to be bottled up and reserved for judgement, then many of our acts would be far different. We would all then be one in christ and with his grace and power make the world better.
 Respectfully.
 JOHN WEIGH.

Letter to Mir. B. F. Rudd
Green Forest. ,;y6.


 Dear Sir: You are so we'll known that the people have put you in office. They knew what they were about; they didp't do it by accident.
 Wouldn't it be handsome thing to do to paint your house? It is nice house, has good sub- stantial commodious look, and isn't rusty at all, you know; but a fresh coat of paint would make it so bright! it's a pity not to.
 Devoe is beautiful paint, but the beauty of it is: 1t lasts so long, and does so much more, than adorn an already interesting and attractive edifice. House, out building and fences. There isn't a man or woman in town, who wouldn't see them and make some pleasent remark.
 Of course, you will paint the town property: nothing would mark your administration more in the eyes of the people; and having done the same thing at home, it is the most natural thing in the wofld to do it for them.
 Yours truly
 F. w. DEvoE & Go. New York, Chicago and Kansas City.

Georgetown, Tenn, "that I coughed continuously night and day and the neighbors' prediction, mption-seemed inevitable, until my husband brought home bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery, which in my case proved to be the only REAL cough cure and restorer of weak, sore lungs" When all other remedies utterly fail, you may still win in the battle against lung and throat troubles with New Dis coverv, the REAL remedy.

prison or out Ol IL.
 After the war, one of the South ern generals returned home to his plantation and found it in state of utter dilapidation. His former slaves remained and were very glad to see "Marse" come back, but most of them were suffering with rheumatism or some other complaint which unfitted them for work.
 After the general had been home for few days, he called for the overseer and said: "I want to gather up all the old blows and harrows, hoes and rakes, and all other farm imple- ments that are worn out, and burn them tomorrow morning at nine o'clock" So the next morning all negroes on the pian- tation assembled to see the worn out implements burned. When it was over, the general said to the ove1seer, so all could hear Now, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock 1 want you to bring here all the old horses and mules that cannot work any more and shoot them" So the next morning all horses and mules were brought out; and when "Marse" had se- lected the best, the others were shot. He then said: "Now. to. morrow morning 1 want you to bring every negro on the place here at nine o'clock, and shoot every one who is not able to work" The next morning at six o'clock every negro on the place was out in the field work ing lively, pulling weeds, hoeing corn, building fences; and there was not sign of rheumatism or any other ailment on the land. We think it would be the same if the str Ing hand of the law was laid upon every lazy man. This may seem to be an imprac- ticahle scheme 10 some; but we fully believe it is just as easy to enlist or draft an army of workers to spend their energies in the United States as it is to enlist an army of soldiers to go out of the country and fight battles on the other side of the world. Futher- more. we believe it is just as much the duty of the State to find employment for it's idle citizens as it is to educate it's boys and protect it's good citizens in their right to vote.

Cured of Rheumatism

MT. w. M. Henry of Chattanooga, Tenn., had rheuma atism in his left arm. "The strength seemed to have gone out of the muscles so that it was useless for york;" he says. "I applied Chamber lain's Pain Balm and wrapped the arm in flannel at night. and to my relief I found that the pain gradually left me weeks the rheumatism had disappeared and has not since returned" If trou- bled with rheumatism try a few appli-. cations of Pain Balm. You are certain to be pleased with the relief which it affords. For sale by all druggists.

Growing Criminals.

The United States is engaged in growing criminals aud then killing them when they become perfect. It is just az certain that ignorance, idleness, and drink will produce criminals as that a leaking ship will sink or a neg lected field produce weeds. Many boys are allowed to grow up in ignorance. Many young men both white and black, are allowed to spend their time in idleness. They are taught that they are free and at liberty to do as they please, even when they please to do nothing. Whiskey is sold 10 these people when they want it, and so the State has al- lowed these human beasts to grow in it's midst; and when they bring forth their legitimate fruit and commit murder, or worse than murder, then it puts forth it's power and hangs them.
 If the State has a right to kill a criminal, it has a right to put forth it's right to prevent that person from becoming a crim- inal by compelling all to go to school or suffer punishment, and all to work in schools of industry or in employment furnished by the government, unless it is found elsewhere. When igno- rance and idleness cease to be be- cause they are treated as offenses of the State, lynchings and their causes will cease; for tiers has not been an educated nigro hung for assault or brutal murder in the South or any other part of this country since the war.
 We have too much liberty, and yet we do not have perfect per- sonal liberty. If we had per. feet personal liberty, we would then have the right to do just as we please, and not be restrained in any thing, nor punished if we do that which the law forbids.
 It would be far better if our liberties were curtailed more than they are, and every man com- pelled to make himself a useful member of society. The govern ment could do this if it would, for compulsory education would be an easy matter: and as the great majority of citizens are already employed in some useful work that affords them a living, the government would have to pro- vide work for only a small min ority of it's citizens.
 There are tens of thousands yea, hundreds of thousands of uncultivated acres of land in this country which might be made productive by small army of enlisted men to do government work. There are as many acres of marsh land that could be con- verted into fertile farms by the same force. There are great roads and broad canals running for hundreds of miles needed that would be of untold advan- tage to many people. There are places where the turning of a river or the building of a sea wall for d few miles would turn 8 vast district from waste bog to rich bottom land; and many other things could be mentioned that could give employment to every idle man in the country. If, when man is out of work, he was compelled either.to find work or report for duty to the govern ment, he would be very apt to find work elsewhere. The tramp is said to be the man who is al- ways looking for work but does not want it; and the government should supply him with work, in
