For five years scrofulous sores have appeal 1 J on. my scalp and nose, and at same time my eyesight began to fail, and for these years have been comparatively blind. Have been treated by eminent physicians of different schools without a cure. I have taken five bottles of B. B. B. (made at Atlanta, 6a.), and all scrofulous sores are gradually healing.

I hate a capitalist, no matter how he becnm one. I hate the meenspirit!d, grovelin retch wich will work ten or more hoars a day, deprivin hisself uv beer, and terbacker, and cards, sod bilyard, and bos racin, and siob, savin peny by peny
til he aez gioand enough oat of the world to hev a shop uv his own, and to emvlov other men to slave
fur him, and thus go on akumulatin til he owns things. Such men are monopolists, and the enemies of labor, and grinders. I hold that the possession of a ten dolnr bil makes a monopolist, and al aich shood be crushed, Ez hevin a ten dolar bil makes a man a monopolist, bis monopolism increases Jist in proporshen to the ten dolar bila be hez. The owner of a factory is a enemy to the human race, and ez for the man who bilds a railroad he "Is a Konster uv such hidgui meen, That to be hated needs but to be seen.' My hatred of railroad managers is intens. It was commenst with the first time I wnz droped off the bind platform uv a trane for not payin fare, and oas increst with ev
ery repetishun uv the ofense, wich generally happens every time I
want to go anywhere. I Jothe the ralerode monopolist. A grindin monopolist is any man wich has anything. Whenever a man hez saved anytbing,he becomes a capitalist, and ez capitalists are dangerous to labor, he should be made to divide it np so ez to be on a ekality with tbem wich never saved nothing. The mechanic or workingman wich saves so ez to own a house or a farm becomes a capitalist, and consekently a grindin monopolist, and ez accumolashens are dangerous to labor, wat be hez shud be confiskated and divided up among us wich hezn't anything. Property is a crime. I ain't jist shoor that I bev got the socialistic doctrine down fine ennff; but I think these definishuns will do, espeshly when you howl em under a reg flag to luvers uv humanity wich isohuok full of stale beer.

One of the most practical and valuable lectures ever given in the College Chapel,: was that of Mr, Horr, the,(genteman from Michigan. Every citizen of Bloomington and vicinity without distinction of race, color, or creed, should have heard it and thus bnve had ths privilege ef thinking over the good, sound sense which it contained. There is no doubt about it, the Labor Question is one of the foremost-questions of tbe age, and we believe such men as Mr. Horr will sooner or later arrive at its solution. Men of books may theorize, anarchists and socialists may instigate, violence and crime, ignorance and prejudice may stay the final arbitrament; but "the man who has been there" and who haa that variety of intelligence known as "common sense" is tbe man who will cut the knot, and issue the latest Emancipation Proclamation to the toiling, troubled millions. Mr. Horr's theory of the origin of property, bin statements of the unfairness of both capital and labor, tbe tyranny of labor over itself, the necessity of a tribunal, similar to the French one, for the settling of labor troubles in the U. S., the applying of the golden rule to capitalists and laboring men alike, were
all valuable and timely suggestions.
His warning against men ot the
Spies and Parsons type who are go
ing through the land, witn treason
on their tongues and temptation in
their bands, was entirely to the point. Laboring men and capitalists
alike want, to get a better understanding of their relations and duties bv each other. Ignorance is
largely at the bottom of the whole matter. Success and God speed to Mr. Horr. Tbe lecture of Dr. Stott was on
the right line, and full of good orthodox sentiment. The next Sun
day lecture will be by Mr. Hal ford,
editor Indianapolis Journal, Theme, "And Your Young Men Shall See Visions."

The last Faculty meeting was at Dr. Bntnners. ' ' The Prep. Debate on tbe Extermination ot the Apaches by the Misses Mathers, Woodward F., Seward K., and Perry A., was well prepared and decidedly well executed. The girls have only to show what tbey can do to prove their ability to cope successfully with the boys iu such work. Ths "Y" held its last meeting at the home of Mis Grace Wicks. The president, Miss E. J. Strader,
has begun the agitation ot the establishment of a Reading room by tbe labor or management of the "Y." This may be beyond the reach ef the "Y," but what an opportunity for some liberal and public spirited man, who has money at his command, to confer lasting benefit upon this community, and to win an honorable name tor himself. The present terra will close Wednesday, Dec. 22. Prof. Atwater's return from bis trip south was somewhat delayed. The boys had an extra holiday.

The artesian well contractors have reamed out the upper portion
of the well and have inserted over
on hundred feet of five-inch pipe,
This goes past the point in the well
where the soft rock has been falling
into tbe bore and giving the contractors a great deal of trouble. The aged mother of C. P. Tu
ley died on Tuesday night of last week, in her 90th year. On Mon
day by a fall, she broke one of her
thigh bones, suffered greatly and died the following night. She was the oldest person in the oounty, it is believed. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church, on Wednesday, and were conducted by Rev. Mr. Minton. It will be remembered tbat early last summer James Slugs was going home one night and when a short distance from Yanzandt's undertaking establishment a dog dashed at him. SIuss pulled his revolver and fired at the dog, and the master of the dog, Fred. Hendricks, being seated in the door-way near by, the ball struck him in one of his legs, making a slight flesh wouud. Hendricks brought suit against SIuss demanding $1,000 damages, and tbe case being tried by a jury
last week, they brought in a verdict
for the defendant.

tbey had a lively little fight before they could be separated. Snoddy's face was somewhat disfigured in the
scrimmage but Shields did not show any punishment.

The contract has been closed for

cludes a new engine. The "Bloomington Grist Mill" has always enjoyed a desirable reputation for
manufacturing a first-class grade of

Forty years ago ne house contained a rowing machine, there was not a mower or a harvester in existence, and the households of the land sat around tbe flickering light of a tallow candle, at nightfall. The President's message will be much shorter than it was last year. But as very few people take the time or trouble to read the document it dosen't make much difference if tbe message is long or
short, or whether 'tis published
soon or late. Persons in search of seasonable and sensible Christmas presents should go to Cole's City Bookstore. Mr. Cole has brought on an immense stock of handsome and tasteful goods, such as he' believes his patrons will appreciate. It is useless to attempt a description there is too great a variety, and the articles are so novel that a description will not do them justice. Remember to visit the City Book store before making your Christmas purchases. Equal parts of strong ammonia water, ether, and alcohol form a valuable cleaning compound. Pass a piece of blotting paper under the grease spot, moisten a sponge, first with water to make it "greedy," then with tbe mixture, and rub with it the spot.
