Vards Woes. Mnxey's, Ga., January, 1S86. For twelve or fourteen years I have been a groat sufferer from a terrible form
of blood poison which ran into the sec
ondary, and anally it was pronounced a
tertiary form. My head, faro and shoulders became almost a mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced eating away my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsive that for three years I absolutely refused to lot people see mo. I used large quantities of most noted blood remedies and applied to nearly all physicians near me, but my condition continued to crow worse, and all said that I must
surely die. My bones became the seat of
excruciating aches and pains: my mgnis
were passed in misery; I was reduced in
flesh and strengtn ; my moneys were terribly deranged, and life became a burden to me. I chanced to see an advertisement of B. B. B. and sent one dollar to W. 0. Bircbmore & Co., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit, and when eight or ten bottles had been used I was pronounced sound and well. Hundreds of scars can now bo soon on me, looking like a man who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this county, and for the benefit of others who may be similarly affected, I think it my duty to give the facts to the public, and to cxtond my heart felt thanks foi so valuable a remedy. I have been well over twelve months, and no return of the disease has occurred. ROBERT WARD. Maxeys Ga., January, 1886. "We, the undersigned, know Mr. Robert Ward, and

The second annual reunion of
the Twenty-seventh regiment Indiana volunteers was held in Greencastle July 1st and 2d. During the forenoon Thursday the visiting comrades were received, and at 2 p. ni. an address of welcome on behalf of the city was made by Mayor Joseph McClary. In the evening Mcharry hall was filled to overflowing, to witness the reunion and campfire. The hall was tastefully decorated and much enthusiasm prevailed. After the invocation by Dr. Martin, a poem, "Welcome to the Old Twenty-seventh;" was read by Dr. J. C. Ridpatb. Then were had the following toasts, interspersed with music and recitations : "The Medicine Chest," responded to by Surgeon J. J. Johnson; "The Quarter-Master's Department," James M.

Grecucastle Banner: The prospect for a Republican victory in Indiana is most excellent, whereat there is general rejoicing ; but comes now Col. Will. Cumback and others with a call for a Republican Temperance Convention, the evident purpose being to force the temperance issue, in the form of local option, upon the Republican State Convention later. Why can not these gentlemen trust the party that has done and is doiug all it can for good government, instead of forcing it into an attitude that will continue the Democratic party, from which nothing can be expected, in power? The individual who killed the goose that laid the golden egg was a wise man in comparison with them. It looks as though they were seeking notoriety instead of the public good
