Editor Pearson Tribune: The more I read your editorials, appearing in tbe eolumns-of your unique paper which, I repeat what I have said before is among the best of a number I read from both races, tbe more I am convinced you are broadminded enough to deal justly with all men —even the Negro. It is a pleasure to anyone to read a paper that accords to all square dealing. Now a word to my race relative to the evil of tattliug. Many of my race do not care to brighten the corners where they are. They have no interest, individually or collectively, in anything that per tains to tne betterment of tbe race. They will cutoff their noses to spite their faces. They seem to be discontented unless they are in terferring with other people’s busi ness. They make it their special concern to search out the affairs of their neighbors and expose them to the world. Like a fungus that grows on the rotten wood, the veg etation that takes a delight in par ading the shortcomings of their friends, as well as their enemies, to the scorn of tbe world. They never see the great beams in their own eyes, but pastmasters in discovering the motes in the eyes of their neighbors. They will leave their work undone for days in order to trace up some disgrace ful scandal. Many times, when they fail to find any evil report to roll as a sweet morsel under their tongues, they make one of their own and hide behind the indefinite ‘’they say.” Many times when they want to tell a person of some fault, or pretended fault, they say that they heard so-and-so was said. Such persons are dangerous and should be Shunned as one would some deadly contagious disease. It takes all the time-of any man or woman to keep up with their ow n affairs. They have no time to gad about and stick their noses in th ei r neigh bor’s affairs. If we would spend all of our time trying to keep up with om own affairs and the building up of fallen humanity, it would banish strife and friction and a better un derstanding would exist between the races.

FEAItHON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, MARCH 10. 1922 The Former Convict By DOROTHY WHITCOMB Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. John Hawse munched his twqnty cent supper with the furtive irresolu tion of the ex-jallblrd that he was. Three years in prison leaves Its stamp upon a man, and the lockstep, the dropped voice, the shrinking from men, the automatism of action follow 1 the released convict witnesses to his past. “Reform the prisoner,” say some. Associations have been founded with tills beneficent object. John Hawes smiled bitterly at the thought. He had been a bookkeeper; he had stolen a paltry sum to provide comforts for his sick wife. His wife had never visited him in prison. He mid never seen his son. Minnie’s last words to him before they took him away had been of forgive ness; but Minnie’s father was not the type that can condone having a Jail bird for a son-in-law. He had taken her away. Now, desperate and bitter, tie ate his cheap meal In silence. The last of his money was gone And sinis ter voices had been whispering In his ears. There was “Red,” who had served a half a dozen sentences for burglary. He had shown Hawes, with whom he had been In .the jienltentlary, In a rough, well-meaning way the folly of trying to live down his past. That night Hawes had yielded to the temptation. He had seen “Red." “Red” knew that a man of Hawes’ ad dress, a gentleman, In spite of his past, would be of use to him. To gether they might pull off a Job or two. For Instance, there was the new big house up Marsden way. The old guy who lived there wouldn't put up much of a fight, even If he woke, and It was said he had a dinner service of solid silver, and his wife had Jewels. So much “Red” had learned from prowling about the neighborhood. If Itawes didn’t Join him he was a fool. Hawes agreed to Join him. At midnight Hawes stood shivering outside tlie house. The coup was to be pulled off in half an hour; “Red" would come by with a cart, and the spoils were to be dumped inside. At fifteen minutes past the hour Hawes climbed to the window of the dining room, thrust up the piece of wire between the windows, and forced hack the catch. A match revealed the silver service. Hawes had a burlap hag to hold these articles, but that part of the work was to come later. There were the Jewels, left, as “Red” believed, upon lhe bedroom bureau at night. The moon shone through the win dow. After a moment Hawes made out the figure of a child in the bed. This, then, could not*be the place. He crept out. He entered the dining room, switched on the lights again, and turned to the silver. He had Just taken up the first piece, a coffee pot, when he heard a light footfall behind him. He turned, to see the child standing in the door, looking at him. “Daddy," said the child. Hawes cursed his folly in going up stnirs. “Daddy," said the child, a smile upon its lips. “Hush!” said ' Hawes gently, and closed the door behind It. At that Instant lie hoard plainly the creaking of the wheels of the baker’s cart in the rear of the house. He must act immediately. “Daddy,” said the child more loudly. Hawes was becoming frantic. “I'm not your daddy," said Hawes. "Daddy’s upstairs." A sudden thought came to him. "Go back to bed.” he said softly. "Daddy will come pres ently.” The child toddled toward the door and began rattling the handle. Hawes sprang forward and opened the door— to see' a woman descend the last of the flight and stand looking at him. The child toddled toward her. “Daddy!” It cried again. “Minnie!” Hawes cried. She was In Ills arms, and no othet word had been spoken. It was his wife, restored to him. “John! How did you find me?” she gasped. "Come In here! “Father died last week,” she said half sobbing with Joy. "Before ht died he forgave you. He wanted me to find you. I telegraphed to —to that place-sbut they knew nothing of you I always needed you, John! I knew that I coultf turn fathers heart at the end—but It came suddenly, and there was only the deathbed roes sage: ‘Tell John to come home.’ ” Hawes held her In his arms, and it that moment the balance was struck between good and evil. His life was renewed, and the future miraculously bright. As he sat there he heard th* creaking of the baker's cart as it drove slowly away. “This Is our boy, John,” whispered Ills wife softly. “And our home, my dear. You will never leave me?” “No,” answered Hawes, and led het out of the room. The Greater Need. “Why do you object to poetry?* "Because,” said Mr. Growcher, “so much of it is written by first-rate typ ists who are loafing on their regular Job." Packing Pictures. When packing pictures put corks be tween them in the corners of th* frames, and they will not scratch eact other. How John Reforms His W/fe By CALVIN HENDRICKS Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. John Dunbar made love to Mary Woods with all the fervor of an old romance and—lived unhappily for the rest of their lives. Or nearly so. “I can’t understand it,” said honest John at the end of a very miserable day. It was the twenty-fifth anniver sary of their wedding. “And nobody else can," added his brother-in-law, Ephraim. "Do you know, the didoes, antics and whims of that woman —sister though she is, I will say it —have grown on us uncon sciously. We have meekly submitted, and she has developed Into a fegulur tyrant and pretty nlgfe a nuisance.” John Dunbar sighed In pure helpless ness and desperation of splint. “She's a depresser and no mistake!” commented Ephraim. “It’s her way or no way in everything, and hers Is gen erally the wrong way. I pity you, John, Indeed I do. from the very bot tom of my heart I” "Maybe she’ll change," suggested John hopefully. “I say, John, you look gray and tired and worn out,” observed Ephraim. “You need a little change. Why don't you go up to the city and take a day or two off? See the folks, have some recreation. You’ll be the stronger for a new battle with life.” The suggestion led to action. John Dunbar broke the routine of a quarter of a century. He went to the city. While there he attended the theater. John had never seen a play before. Its main character was a modern Hera clltes who laughed his way into the play, all the way through It, and faded out of It, leaving a smile on the faces and in the hearts of those of his audi ence who were attentive and sympa thetic. At all events that play made such an Impression upon John Dunbar, that when he got home he called together out In the woods all the family except “mother 4’ “I’ve got an Idea, or rather a play X saw has given me an Idea,” he said. “I want to tell you all what it Is, and then as the true and loving children you are I want you help me lu a plot to—to—well, to reform mother.” “How, father?” Inquired sixteen year-old Blanche. “Smile. If mother Is cross, don’t get grumpy. If she’s out of sorts, don’t cater to It. Just smile-smile smile.” There was a certain fairly mischie vous spirit of delight Injected into the situation. When Mrs. Dunbar that evening began her usual “I’m dead worn out-, with this ceaseless house work !” her husband beamed upon her expansively, with the comforting ob servation, “That's because you Insist on doing it better than anybody else In the town!’’ Jf shrewd Mrs. Dunbar suspected the obvious change In the genial mood of the family, she was disarmed, helpless to resist It. Then, although she never relaxed that grim temper of hers outwardly and never admitted it, she took a se cret, silent delight In basking in the loveliness and Inspiring cheer of the hours spent around the evening lamp, where the family circle was encom passed In cheery laughter, bright rep artee and—smiles. Then a climax came—two of them— that shook the supposed domestic In fallibility of the self-willed mistress of the household. "The house has been burglarized-!” was the direful announcement of John one night when they returned from a church sociable. Yes, and four hundred dollars in cash missing from a secret hiding place where Mary had Insisted on keeping it, Instead of placing it In the bank! It was all her fault and she looked pretty glum. But no one blamed her. John only touched her affectionately on the cheek and said: “Thankful I wore my watch! If the thieves had taken that with your pic ture in It, I’d have inournad, I tell you!’’ And Mrs. Punhar actually flushed and murmured: "You foolish man!" and then her hard nature softened still more as the jovial family kept on smiling, despite the loss of the money. The very next day Mary left a hot fire going while she ran over to a neighbor’s. It was to return to find the house In flames. It burned to the ground. Again her fault! but John only smiled, saying pleasantly; "Suppose you’d been In the house! I tell you, we’re lucky people. You deserve a new house with more con veniences In it, and you’re going to have it!’’ And the day this splendid new edi fice was completed, and the smiling faces of the whole family beamed on mother as she came up the steps, her lip 'quivered. g “John, I’m —I'm going to behave my self!” she whispered meekly. And the corners of her lips were nc longer drawn down, but parted In a way that uplifted all the hearts that were there. And then a new woman became the queen of the new home, that hence forth was indeed a veritable "house of smiles.” Analyzed. Mother —"But what do you know about him? Has he come up from nothing or has he come down for some thing?” Daughter—“l cannot say mamma. He has the money of the former and the manners of the latter.’ —Boston Transcript. i ’ ROUNDS OFJAX RECEIVER. SECOND ROUND. PLACE. DATE. HOUR.
