CO. H, 80TH INDIANA. Hold Their Annual Iteunlon at the Home of (ireene Iteadles. Last Saturday hundreds of people wended their way , to the home of Greene Beadles in Marion township, to attend the annual reunion of Co. H, 80th Indiana Volunteers, of which Mr. Beadles was a member. The day was a delightful one, and when the noon hour arrived the ctowd then present was estimated at between 000 and 800 people. At noon the Kid band of Oakland City arrived and discoursed lively music which revived in the memories of the old veterans present of the days of ’61~’65. In front of the house a stand had been erected and which was profusely decorated where the company’s business was transacted and the election of officers for the coming year;. Capt. Sasser Sullivan was elected president, and John H. McConnell, secretary and treasurer. The next reunion of the cpmpany was voted to be held at the home of Dan C, Ashby of this city. Committees were also appointed to look after all matters pertaining to the holding of the regimental reunion in this city October 18th and 19th. It was then announced that the dinner hour had arrived and all the old veterans present were drawn up in line and at the command of Captain Sullivan the line of march was taken up, and at the command of “halt,” the old veterans formed themselves on either side of a table laden with the best that the land affords and provided by the most excellent wives of soldiers and their friends of Marion and neighboring townships. The captain then gave the command “Inward, face,” when the “boys in blue” made a grand charge on chicken, pie, cake, etc. The table/fras about 140 feet

long and in the shape of an “L,’’ and loaded down with good things to eat. Among the members of the company present were Gabriel Adkinson, J. B. Richardson, W. G. Beadles, F. H.

The occasion was a very pleasant one and will long be remembered by the old soldiers and citizens present. Appropriate resolutions were adopted on the death of Capt. Nathau Evans;

and also in extending- thanks to Mr. Beadles and all those taking- part in making the reunion a successful affair. Glorious News Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile of Washita, J. T. He writes: “Fdur bottles of Electric Bitters has cured Mrs, Brewer of scrofula, which had caused her great suffering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her head and face, and the best doctors could give no help; but her cure is complete and her health is excellent.” This shpws what thousands have proved—that Electric Bitters is the best blood purifier known. It’s the supreme remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion and builds up the strength. Only 50 cents. Sold by Stearnes Drug Co., druggists. Guaranteed. Col. Boone Explains. Col. Albert E. Boone, who is the promoter of the Black Diamond proposed railroad, says, in answer to an article that recently appeared in the Indianapolis News: “I notice your late article on Boone and his cause—the Black Diamond. For your information and guidance, will say that it is the people of Knoxville, Tennessee, wjio have been supplying Boone with the sinews of war to push the Black Diamond to that point where capitalists can see that the Black Diamond will not only be the greatest coal and coke road in the world, but the finest grade of any line crossing the mountains to the Atlantic seaboard. The Black Diamond to the Ohio river is practically the route laid out by the Hon. John C. Calhoun of South Carolina fame, under the name of the Louisville, Cincinnati &

Charleston railway company. He started, in 1836, to build the very line traversed by the Black Diamond. The Black Diamond follows water-gaps in the three ranges of mountains, viz., Blue Ridge, Smoky and Cumberland. No grade on the Black Diamond is to exceed sixty-six feet, with no reverse curves. The main line will traverse in Kentucky and Tennessee some 112 miles of solid coal fields. The Black Diamond line through the southwest and western Indiana will traverse fully 145 miles of coal fields, from Perrysville, in Vermilion county, due south to Vincennes, and thence via Petersburg and Jasper. Jasper is on the eastern edge of the Indiana coal fields. “For the present Indianapolis is the northwest terminus until construction is assured on the 1,394 miles now surveyed, and by Christmas will be estimated. Why 1 have faith in the Black

I Diamond is for the reason that the world is not finished; more railroads ^re yet to be built, and why not the Black Diamond? Then, again, Boone iias the utmost confidence in himself. Those that know me best know that Boone will be the last man to desert the work. I was reared with the McCrea brothers (wholesale milliners), of your city. They may be able to enlighten some of you skeptics as to Boone’s staying powers and his nerve to keep pushing until the work is done. Keep one fact in mind. The Black Diamond will come to Indianapolis or else I will know the reason why. 3 -- ■ ‘‘I observe that the writings north of the Ohio river always note a fact j —‘that the scheme has figured on paper for the past four years.’ Whoever witnessed such work that has been done, cementing the people of South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, *Ohio and Indiana to work as one for this great scheme of Calhoun’s? Keep this one fact before youf that the surveys have been made and the rights-of-way secured and that free for fully ninetenths of the4 entire mileage. In dealing with the Black Diamond I expect criticism, but let all the facts come out at the same time. Chicago ^eelh sore because we propose going to tttejK£8tof her for our seaboard traffic—tajT?it before it gets to the east of the Black Diamond line. Kansas City built her Pittsburg, Kansas City & Gulf. So Knoxville, Tennessee, feels her ability to do likewise by fathering the building of the Black Diamond.”

Good Advice. . w When that distressing pain seems to grab you by the back of the head and neck and your eyes seems fixed on a given point straight ahead, do not make yourself sick by taking drastic cathartics, but take a small dose of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It relieves the pressure on the nerves, centers of the brain and aids digestion by curing constipation permanently. In 10c, 30c and #1 sizes at Oliphant Drug Co’s. o To Whom It May Concern.
