This series of Geographies is rapidly growing into popular favor, laying claims, as it does, to superiority over all other works of the kind in the following very important partie-, ulars: 1. Compactness.~-All superflaous matter and statements of facts foreign to the subjeet hayé been: carefully omitted. 2. Uniformity of plan in arrangement and presentation of the subject, which greatly facilitates ‘the progress of the pupil. ~ 3. Gradation.—The series, and each book of the series, are graded easily, naturally,/and il a manner to best adapt them to the use of schools. 4. Map-Drawing.— The map-drawing is most simple and practical, and is embodied in the book. 5. Map-Questionsare uniformly on the pages facing the maps. 6. Pictorial THustrations, designed and engraved expressly for these books. 7. Statistical Tables, compiled with the utmost care and accuracy, from the latest ref liable sources, 8.

About ten inches of snow has fallen here this month, at which farmers rejoice, as it is favorable to the growing wheat. X . .

Friends, try those enterprising. gentlemen and see for yourselves. ‘Rev. A. Cone is holding a series ot meetings at new Paris. May success atténd his efforts and many be added to the christian faith. :

Prayer meetings were commenced last Thursday evening at the Colclazier Chapel. How Jong it"will be continued we cannot tell, but probably for a number of weeks, as we understand the Rev. Cone intends to hold a series of meetings at the Chapel. We had anticipated through the summer, from what we heard, that there would have been erected a brick church here in place of the old one. But we presume that some one looked upward and, seeing that the roof yet remained on the old house, that but little of the plastering had fallen off, that there were but a few of the seats loose, and we come to ‘the conclusion that: the managers must have thought that it would be money unnecessarily spent, and consequently made ‘but little effort. We think it would be a good idea to take the Bentonites’ plan and repair the old ‘church next summer. What say you, friends ?

' Mr. Allen Gillett ‘is preparing to erect some large cribs in which to store away the corn that he expects to raise the coming season. His faith is certainly firm in the raising of a crop. It is right that we should provide for the future, and those who do not are apt to come to want.. The man who looks only to the present and neglects to provide for future wants, will never accumulate much of this world’s goods. We would therefore advise the young and rising generation to set their mark high in the world and ‘labor to attain that height, dealing honorably and fairly with their fellow-msen.

;NOTES BY THE WAY. } BY MANDA L. icnocmm. ) el The year peggeth out, so we feel ‘badly; the pocket-book waneth with the great centennial cycle, and still we have n’t all the finery our fastidious notions demand. But why need we mourn? It is the lot of poor American mortals to mourn thusly, but the mourners mourn,-the silks,look worn, the lace is torn, the purse torlorn, of silver shorn, is viewed with scorn, as a.ragless rag baby. G :Some of our friendly Yorkers have been up to the “Hub,” getting their rights righted, that had become tangled up in a jalep and a wallop. Then some more that have not righted have beén walloped, but the odds are the difference, and that belongs to the “feller” vthat gets, walloped. Wm. Clucas has a barn-raising today. e e

’ Health is generally good in this vi- | cinity, and we have plenty to eat with ‘nothing to do, but do chotes and wait for election news. = They say, Tilden is elected, and Hayes is elejzed. I can’t help it if they 're both President. Hope we’ll know for sure “who is whom” before New Year, because a person wants to know how to begin the year, with rejoicing or mourning, as the case necessitates.” = ' Our friends have all returned from the National Exposition at Philadelphia. What a relief to the suffering clodhoppers that that terrible animal has gone marching on, over the hill of time, and left us brains and slabsided purses. Everything that God has ade, or man-devised, has been centennialized until we even have “centennial fights”—fight for liberty, as did our forefathers; though ‘perhaps the flowing of whisky, instead of blood, ‘makes a slight difference. . Now is the time to pull off your gloves and overcoat, lop: down before a bright fire, light -a cigar, and ask. God to help the suffering poor. Though they pass your door inirags and poverty, no matter; you have your famil‘_v | to see after; “charity begins at home.” ‘ Let God see after His creatures. - - Christmias approacheth, and it is to be hoped that “Christ-Kindlein” will smile heavily fipon our “corner.” We did n’t have the old religious turkey on Thanksgiving, but we sacrificed the 1 sedate rooster in his stead, and were just as thankful to get a snap at his l fat, tender careass as if we had ‘had ten roasted turkeys. Never mind, we ran down a “tarkey” last week, and we 1l swing his old neck to the breeze on Christmas, if some devotee of dark nights don’t confiscate him.. Woe unto thee! O confiscator! , "

Now is the season for “poems) oh the “beautiful snow,” but I don’t see any—llikely ;th?y ’ve all turned into centennial odes and hymns. Look well to your staff, and raise your notes of interest above their natural scale, and they will become notes of joy and a whole rest before we get to the bar of this piece of a. year. o How many opens the folds of THE BANNER to-night and reads and rejoices and is thankful to “Old J. B.” for the interest he takes in*their welfare ? . foien ~Maple Ridge, Ind., Dec., 1876.

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past flve: years the VEGETINE has been steadily working itsel into public favor, and those who were at first moslsincredalous in regard. to its merits are now its most ardent friends and supporters. {sre g There are three essential causes for those having such a horror of patent medicines, changin their opinion and lending their infiuence’ towarg the advancement of VEGETINE| Isf—lt is an. honegily prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs. 2d—lt honest,lr accomplishes all that is claimed for it, without leaving any bad efiects | in the system. 3d-—lt presents honest youchers’ in testimonials from honest, well-known citizens, whose signatures are a sufficient guarantee of their earnestness in the matter. Taking into consideration the vast quantity of medicine brought congpicuously before the public through the flaming advertisements. in the newspaper columns, - with no proof of merit or genuine vouchers of what it has done, we should be par‘doned for manifesting a small degree of pride in presenting the fol]owin% sestimonial from Rev, J.. S. DICKERSON, D. D., the popular and evergenial pastor of the South Baplist Church, Boston's : Saaaghy o

The Tired Body Suesjfor Sleep, : Bostox, March 16, 1874, H.R Stevrins. Esq.: ¢ : ; Dear Sir—lt is a 8 much i;'om a sense of duty as of gratitnde that I write to say that your VEGETI%IE—even if it is'a patent medicine—has beer of great help to me when notbing else seemed to avail which I could safel{ use. Either excessive mental work or unusual care bringe upon me a nervous_exhaustion that desperately needs sleep, but as desperately defiesit. ~Night after night the poor, tired body aueﬁ;{or sleep until the® daydawn is welcomed back, and we begin our work tired out with an almost fruitless chase after rest. Now I have found that a little VEGETINE taken just before I retire gives me sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the evil effects of the usunal narcotics. I think twe things would tend to make bratn-workers slee(g. 18t—g, little less work. 2d—a little more VEGETINE. = This prescription has helped me. : Now I have a particular horror of “patent medicine,” but I have'greater horror of bein%afraid to tell the traight outtruth. The VEGETINE has helped me, and I own it up. f= Yours ete., ¥ . J.S. DICKERSON,

Valaable Eviderce. The. followin% unsolicited testimonial from Rev: O. T. WALKER, D. D , formerly pastor of Bowdoin Square Church,and at present Settled in Providence. Rhode Island, must be esteemed as reliable evidence : : No one should fail to observe that this testimonial is the result of two years’ experience wiih the use of VEGETINE in the Rev. Mr. Walker’s fam--Ily, who now pronounces it invaluable: i 1 PrOVIDENOE, R. 1., 164 Trangit Street. H. R. Stevens, EsqQ.: : . I feel pound to express with my signature the high value I place upon your VEGETINE. My family have used it for the last two years. In nervous debibility it is invalaable, and I recommend it to all who may need an invigorating, renovating tonic. Yours cte., ! 0. T. WALKER.

The Best Evidence. v The following letter from Rev. E. 8. Best, pastor M. E, Chu rc?l, Niatick, Mass.. will be read with interest by many physicians. Also those suffering from the game disease as afflicted the son of the Rev. E.S. Best, Noperson can doubt this testimo:y, and there is no doubt obout the curative powers of VEGETINE: ; + NaTICK, Mass., Jan® 1, 1874. Mz. H. R. Stevexs, Esq.: g Dear Sir-—We have §ood reason for regarding your VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest value, We feel assured that it has been the means of saving our son’s life. He is now seventeed years of age; for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulous afféction, and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw him thougkt bhis recovery impossible. : A council of able physicians could give us but the faintest hope of his ever rallying, two of the number declaring that he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that even amputation could not save ‘him, ‘as he had not vigor enough to endure the operation = Just then we commenced giving him ‘VEGETINE, and from that time to the ;lylresent he has been continuously improving., He has lately resumed his stnd.eg, thrown away crutches and cane, and walks about cheexfnlly and strong. ° Though there is still some discharge from the opening where the limb was lanced, we have the fullest confidence that in a little time he will be perfectly cured, G ; : He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEGETINE, but iately uses but little, a 8 he declares that-he is too well to be taking medicine, i . Respectfully yours, | : - E. 8. Brsr, ? ! . Mges, L. C. F. BusT. X i oy -3 Reliable Evidence, L 1178 Baltic Street, Brookryn, N.Y.,Noy. 14, 1874, H. R.
