Friendswood, Ind. .June 8,1893 To the Faris Bros,, Druggists It has been Some seven months since I visited your city and was so fortunate as to have my attention called to the South American Nervine. Usui suffered intensely for a number of years with nervous and Eick headache, had hot flashes, w

sleepless and became despondent. Some of" my Bloomington friends spoke so Highly of South American .Nervine that I was induced to buy a bettle that purchase led to a number of others, and now I sleep soundly, feel buoyant, strong and vigorous, and seldom have headache. Those disagreeaale "hot flashes" have disappeared, and I would not be back to the same condition I was in when I begun to take tho medicine for any sum you could same. t am respectfully, 1" U'ET.T.A.

OVT TO BliAlR'S OIJ POND.

TtSE 1 tabies in Our Block. Harrokl Barnes writes for the Bedford Democrat a "poem" on the Riley style that is as good as any that gent le poet has contributed to homely Iloosier verso, and in which he revives memories of Whit tod's pond. One of tho old stand-bys among the boys of twenty years ago around Bloomington was Blair's old' pond, north of town, and many a truant school boy has blistered his back in the sun, out there, and then had his back blistered by his parents on his return. But to tho poem by substitution of Blair's pond, the poem is entirely applicable: Ain't been back to Bloomington Fer well nigh fifteen year; Beckon things is changed a heap An' mos' out o' gear To what they used to be, but then My memory's always fond Of iurnin1 to tlic govd timua Out to Blair's ol' pond Ever' fellar knowed the place Famous oil aroun" Jes' across the railroad, 'Bout a mile from town; Wan't very big or deep, But I'm jes' doggoned Ef we didn't have some fun Out to Blair's ol' pond. Water, mebbe, wa'n't clear Shucks, we didn't care; Kinder scummy on the top In places here an' there; Had a good mud bottom, too, Whilst water-lillies donued The surface with their blossoms gay Out thar to Blair's ol' pond. Bull frogs set aroun' the edge Singin' "jug-a-ruin;" Hit 'em with a stick or stone Jes' to keep 'em mum; Orter seen 'em duck their heads When a rock come down Didn't alius miss our aim Out to Blair's ol' pond. Used to tell our folks 'at we 'S goin' out fer berries; Swing our buckets on our arms An' away we hurries, Makin' tracks through woods and fields But I'll jes' be boun' Ef we didn't alius end .Out to Blair's ol' pond. Cricks and sich are full of dread Fer the mos' of wimmin; 80 our mothers cautioned us Not to go a swimmen' Guess we muS' a jes forgot All instructions soun' For we never missed a swim Out to Blair's ol' pond. Let the sun dry off our hair Dry as any blotter, So our mothers couldn't tell We'd ben near the water; Then sneaked home and combed our locks 'Fore we's ever found No one would suspect we'd ben Out to Blair's ol' pond. Happy days! so fraught with joy; Full of June an' clover, Ah! what would I only give Jes' to live them over; Jes' to be a barefoot boy Free from sorrow's bondFree from care as when I played Out at Blair's ol' pond, Sweet ambition's thorny path, Daily loudly callin' Fer the deeds that mus' be done Tho' the yoke be gallin'; Hopes a'dyin' thick and fast, Bitter lessons conned Since the happy days I wandered Out to Blair's ol' pond. Attorneys will please remember the Progress, if they can control non-resident notices, final settlements, etc., and they can do it in many cases. We don't want to make an assignment, and the only way to provont it is to give us some patronage. Dr. Leach of Crawfordsville was in town last week making arrangements to send his daughter to Indiana University this fall. The Doctor is an enthusiastic chess player, and a "personal friend of Maj. Mulky, by whom he was entertained. The hangors-on with the Cook & Whitby (formorly Wallace's) show, at Spencer, robbed everybody that had money. If they failed to inveigle a yap into a game they'd knock him down and go through his pockets anyhow. They wero thero for business and attended to it strictly. Tho merchants' protective association, which was permitted to lapse through non-attendance, will be reorganized on a better plan than heretofore. Business men are compelled to protect themselves against those who have shown so little gratitude for favors extended in tho past. Mrs. G. K. Perry, Miss Kate Hight, Foster Eight, Mrs. P. C. Holland, Marshall, Maude and Edith Holland, Eph. Hughes and wife, Miss Flora B. Kreuger, M. J. Compton and wife and Miss Kate Mobley, Prof. Atwatcr, wife and Munson, are among the World's Fair visitors. Tho building being torn down by W. J. Allen was erected by John Wright in 1822, for Robertson Graham. One of the odd things is an attic room, carefully ceiled, painted white, and lighted by a small skylight. In this room tho Masons organized the first lodge in Bloomington. The goat must have had a lonesome time in that room in those diivs.

Bault, a former well known butcher of this place, is dangerously sick with a complication of troubles, and is at present in a dropsical condition.

It is believed that the Worley bank matter will be settled satisfactorily, as nearly all the creditors are accepting land and other property for their debts. "Wait till Congress meets," said many "and then 3011 will see a change." Well, Congress met two weeks ago Mouda)-, and the most important thing done as yet was to arrange a plan to secure pay for mileage. John T. Norris, the famous detective, was in town Saturday, and it is stated has made a eontract to arrest the confidence man who is accused of robbing John Stipp. He claims to bo ablo to locate the fellow, and thinks ho can recover a part or all of the money. The Monroe Co. Horticultural society met at the home of Alfred Porring, Wednesday, Aug. 9th. Following was a program by the young people, and it was intensely enjoyed by all present: Flora Dodds recited, "Tho Freckled Faced Girl;" Hoyt Perrhig, "How to eat a watermelon;" Anna Farmer, "Driving home the cows;" Lois Pcrring, "Counting Daisy Petals;" Pcrring Blcwitt, "The little dog under the wagon;" Inez Perring, "Circumstances and Cases;" Thana Winslow, "The First Party." Music was splendidly rendered by Misses Mattie Puctt and Flora Dodds. A. H. Perring read a paper on Horticulture. The city council has ordered that tho gutter be taken up on the east side of the public square and a new one bo laid from tho 6 th stroet corner south to Kirkwood Avenue, and east some distance. The contract has been let to Tom Hinds. Gutters are very expensive, and as a rule are never laid according to specifications. No one will say that some of tho gutters that have been imposed upon property owners by the street contractors wero built according to specifications. In many cases contractors have dug up the guttors, appropriated the stone and then put in gutters in such manner as suited themselves, charging a price at which first-class work should have been furnished, collected the money and the property owner was abused if he dared to raise his voice at tho extortion. Is this statement correct ' It is to be hoped that tho work ou the east side of tho square willbodono precisely as specified. Thero is too much shirking iu public work. Men take contracts at a price below which honest work can bo done or material supplied, and then expect to get even by using inferior material or a very small quantity of it , at tho same time investing as little labor as possible in the enterprise. The street', commissioner should hold theso people stiidly to Ihe contract.

In several places on the rail road, between Bloomington and Greencastle, the grass had burned up to tho hay stacks,and they were one immense mass of coals. The veterans of the G. A. R. will doubtless have something to say, at their reunion the first week iu September, that will indicate their views of Mr. Hokey Pokey smith's pension business. Trains are crowded each day to and from Chicago. The Motion is reaping the reward of its efforts to give the people the best line of transportation to the World's Fair.

Returning to Chicago Mr. Philputt and wife will visit tho Fair a few days. One of the great events of fair wock will bo tho coming of the celebrated trotting stallion "Nelson," who is marked at 2:09. This horse is promised for the Monroe county fair, and in itself will bo such an attraction as will bo hard to resist. The water is so low in Salt Creek, in consequence of the long continued drouth that some of the citizens of that vicinity say that the catfish are frequently seen outsido the creek bed hunting field mice. This statement was made in tho Progress office last week and is supported by affidavit. The frame building just west beon of Mrs. Hunter's corner has removed to tho Lucas lot, and Mrs. Nichols will occupy it with her millinery store. It is surprising to see how much work an energetic man can accompUsh in a short time. Mr. Allon begun on the corner ten days ago, and it will only bo a few weeks till tho walls of a new building will bo up and ready for the roof. Agent Helton, who by the way is a gonial gentleman and a popular station agent, has received instructions to extend the limit of tho World's Fair tickets to fifteen days. This is very clever on part of general passenger agent Reed, but it is likely to result in troublo to tho company, bocauso after a man has spent all his money at Chicago and is forced to sell his return ticket to buy lemonade, ho will be compelled to count the ties home; so that the running of tho traius will bo materially interfered with as they side track to lot tho pilgrims pass by.

Spencer wont to the World's Fair and was elected one of the lady managers. In this way he had access to their meetings, (or cat-fight, which they most resemble), and was much edified thereat.
