There will ln» 11 mooting of the Senior lasS in the northeast room of the south division of the dormitory, iirst floor, Monday evening to inaugurate a series ot •\*tag parties." We take the step only after careful consideration, and owing to 1ie extreme reticence of the "town friends," they showing a disposition to discontinue their old customs.

Concerning Bees and Grangers.

The bee is a Granger, but the Grangers

re not yet all bees. Why? Because the bee practices what the Grangers profess, but all the Grangers do not. There

fruits of industry than all other moths, hugs, insects and vermin in the world put together. Whoever lives by speculation adds nothing to the world's wealth, but is continually destroying it. Ue is a moth, a beetle, a cut worm, a potato bug, or any other dreaded pest you may see fit to call him. If half the bees in a hive made their living by .-peculating in honey, and never brought rfny honey into the hive, it is clear that they would be living on what they did not earn, that they would be a nuisancc and a pest in the hive, and that the other bees, if sensible bees, would devise some way to get rid of them. But when Grangers combine together and hold on to the produce they raise, refusing to -sell till the price increases, they are feeding the great moth that is eating up the substance of the world. Because when those who hold the produce of the i'arm, whether by production or purchase, combine to withhold it from the consumer till he is obliged to give more 1'or it than it is worth in a free market, they are attempting a gigantic swindle that takes money by mere speculation from the pocket of one man and puts it into the pocket of another. When robbery is committed by one who is not a professional robber it is just the same thing it is when committed by one who follows robbery for a livelihood and speculation is just the same thing when earned 011 by speculators.

Permit me to call attention to the wrigglings and twistings of old time parties. In last week's

lieview

Let 111c say to the

there was

a labored editorial endeavoring to show that Republicans were trying to cheat Democrats out of office that the move ".-originated in Ladoga that the movers were broken down politicians that said movers were tryingto hitch their defunct carcass 011 to the good Patrons of Husbandry and if let alone would utterly destroy what good might come out of ihat great and good organization. [11 fact, it was a regular "Jew Davie Plaster." The only trouble is, he had previously salted it very heavily with an irritant that will be hard to counteract.

Friend Collins' wails are deep and as piteous as a young crockadile about being robbed of its foster mother. Well, he knoft'sthat when this ring is broken his pap is dry.

Review

that there

are as many, if not more, Democrats engaged in this movement as there are Republicans that we ive forgotten old party ties, and are doing our best to prevent our entire possessions from going through the county tax mill. Let me say further, if the move originated in Ladoga, we are entitled to more honor than we ever dreamed of. because the same move is now national in its character, being the central idea in the whole political arena.

Again he charges that the movers are broken down politicians. I defy him to point out a single man, who is prominent in the move, who has ever, or even now asks lor ollice. Like Belshazer, he has *een the handwriting, and is vainly endeavoring to console and cajole. We-'k before last he was very sarcastic on the horny handed Granger." Last week lie loved the

dear

brethren, and was warn-'

ing them against vile men who were trying to ruin their future good. Oil, what a jewel brother Collins is, so long as he can buck that Court House te.it. The tacts are these: Both the old parties, when in ollice, fleece the people to such an extent that they have become deperate, and now they are rising up in their might to see if some untried parties can not relieve them. And yet the

Jtrvinr

coldly rebarbs his old political arrow and tries mice more to thrust it through the people, lie charges that it is a move tif the Republicans of .Montgomery county to get into ollice. And when we take Yip the Republican papers throughout

tii" Stale, they charge that the IO1I1 of Jane State convention is a trick of the sper.-ed with s.injiii: Democrats to get State offices. So it -.roes: the charges are made to suit the conveniences of the old time parties. The truth i-, citizens of Montgomery county, if wo would relieve ourselves of the onerous loads of taxes, we must cut with full basket" loose from all old parly ties and let them

wail the wail of death. J. N. ()-I

MKDAKYYII.LE JOTTINGS.

We have had no frost since the 7th. Summer has come in with a rush. Fine growing, showery weather. The oaks are in full leaf. Fruit trees in full bloom. Never was such a prospect for all kinds of fruit and berries. Karlv potatoes large enough to plow, and plenty of bugs proving upon them. My first planting of corn large enough to cultivate. Farmers generally will get done planting this week. The new oats crop already hides the ground, hut the wheat crop in this neighborhood is almost a failure. In the eastern portion of this county i^ never looked better at this season of the

The Grangers of Jasper county have ordered an election of candidates 011 the 30th inst., to fill the various offices of the county at the Fall election. Whoever is nominated on tho Grange ticket will be elected in that county. In this county no move has yet been made by Grangers or any other party to nominate candidates.

I notice politics in old Montgomery are all in a "muddle." I am anxiously awaiting the result of the convention on the 30th.

Everybody knbws Aunt BetUe Evans, of Gillam township, Jasper county, and Tobe Rogers, in OrnDaun's harness shop knows her, too, because he is her son. Well, she has one of the finest fruit gardens and graperies in that county. Mrs. Jotter and (that is we) paid her a visit a few weeks ago, and 011 starting home she fairly loaded our wagon down with grape vines, black cap raspberries strawberries, gooseberries and currants-

ness flourishing. Charley Jones, ilerly Gilkey and some other little boys were tampering with a cutting box the other day. Instead of cutting straw they cut two of Charley's fingers off. They were his index and long fingers of the right hand. He is doing well, however, but will be a cripple for life.

I cannot find out who are aspirauts for Congress in this (12th) District. Maj. Packard, the present incumbent, declines. It is generally conceded that men who are asking for office will be the last tobe nominated. The people talk of selecting the men themselves. It is hoped they will make good ones. It is funny to see the old political wire workers and professional office .-eekers standing outside and shivering with cold.

Total abstinence is the rational and safe remedy for intemperance. I am in favor of all measures for the prevention or suppression of traffic in alcoholic drinks, which experience has shown to be feasible but, 011 the other hand, I am utterly opposed to bigotry or violence or partisan feeling in behalf of temperance, as I am to the same (juali-

I have been from boyhood, and am now, an ardent lover of my kind, and desire to see my fellow men "free from the despotism of strong drink but would win them from danger and disgrace by reasoning, by moral influence, and by

Whose Names must be Signed to Petitions Tor License. The following is the State Attorney General's opinion on sections 2 and 4 of the new temperance law, deciding who shall be deemed legal voters and qualified to sign petitions for permits to sell liquor: "Does the petitions for a permit to sell intoxicating liquor under the act of February 27th, 1S73, require a majority of the voters in the township at the time the petition is circulated, or a majority of the voters who voted at the election mentioned in the section?''

I11 the 2d section of the act—in that part of the section in which reference is made to the petition and the petitioners —the following language is used: "Which petition shall be signed by the applicant, and also by a majority of the legal voters resident in the ward," &c. In the 4th section it is provided, "That the whole number of votes cast for candidates for Congress at the last Congressional election [in the township shall be deemed to be the whole number of legal voters of such ward, town or township,

Liver and Blood Discuses. nr k. v. riiiiti't:, u. i». A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a half pounds of bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving ami retaining each day two and a half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work of! the poison through other channels and organs—the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc., but these organs become over taxed in performing this labor in addition to their natural functions, and can not long withstand the pressure, but become variously diseased.

The brain, which is the ^reat electrical center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood, which passes to it from the heart and it fails to per* Cornyts office healthfully. Hence the symptoms ot bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the minJ on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feel-1 ings, gloomy lorebodings, and irratability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin, it is so irritating and poisonous that it products discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches, and other eruptions, .sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bowels and other organs can not escape becoming affected, sooner or later, and we have as the result, costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhcea. Other symptoms are common, as bitter or bad taste in mouth, internal heat, palpitation, leasing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensation in throat, bloating ol stomach, pain in sides or about shoulders or back, coldness of extremities, etc., etc. Only a few of the above symptons are likely to be present in any case at one time. The liver being the great depurating or blood cleansing organ of the system—set this great "housekeeper of our health" at work, and the foul corruptions, which gender in the blood, and rot out, as it were the machinery of life, are gradually expelled from the system. For this purpose Dr. I ierce Golden Medical Discover with very small doses daily of Dr. Pieice's I leasant Purgative Pellets arc pre-emi-nently the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch or eruption, ("treat eatimr ulcers kindly heal under their mighty' curative influence. Virulent blood poisons that lurk

ed systems may be completely renovated and built up anew. Knlarged glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of" these great resolvents.
