The BULLETIN office will, this week,
receive from the manufacturer new ma
chine, one that will be appreciated in this
section, as it is the first ever brought to
Southern Illinois, and there is now nothing
of the kind within a hundred and fifty
miles of Cairo. 1t is not as large, but costs
more than printing press, and works to a
charm. 1t is "round hole" perforator,
and is bought expressly for use in the
manufacture of "THE BULLETIN Pen and
Pencil Scratch-books." These are manu-
featured from pure jute manila, with sur
| face that is sized for Ink or pencil. The
stub will be, hereafter, perforated and
stitched, that leaf may be taken out in
any part without damage to the tablet The
machine will also be used in perforating
the stubs OF checks, drafts, receipts blank
notes, etc, which will be manufactured in
large lots and kept on sale at The BuLLE-
TIN office.
1t is an inyariable rule that the man
who is stingy and penurious about adver-
using is stingy and penurlous in his other
business transactions. The same business
spirit and enterprise that prompts mer-
chant to use printers ink literally in max
ing his business known, prompts him to
deal literally with his customers so that he
may hold their trade. The man who sits
| in his store and waits for customers to hunt
him up does not have many of them, and,
consequently, he must make the most out
of those he has. On the other hand, the
man who week after week, invites the pub
lie, through the medium of the newspaper,
to come and examine his goods, telling
them when he has new goods, and when
special bargains are being offered, natural
" attracts more trade than Lis sluggish
neighbor, and he can afford to sell his goods
cheaper. In addition to this, the reading
public is indebted to advertisers for enabl-
ing them to get cheap newspapers. Were
it not for the revenue derived from adver
Using papers that are sold for $3.50 per
year could not be purchased for four times
that amount. These are facts worth con-
sidering when you buy goods, and buyers
will always find that they act tor their own
interest when they patronize the liberal adj
vertiser.
On Saturday night, about seven
o'clock, while Henry Franks, the jailer at
Bloomington was removing the prisoners
to their proper cells, he was attacked by
one named Charles Pierce, alias Hewlett,
who grasped revolver from the hip peck
ct of the .jailer, and before proper resistance
could be made by that official, the latter
was shot at three times. One bullet passed
through his heart, death instantly occur
ring News of the murder in few mo-
ments, spread like wildfire throughout the
city, and soon mob numbering fifteen
hundred to two thousand people gathered
at the Jail demanding vengeance on the
prisoner. Sheriff After and other officials
attempted to keep back the mob, and did
all possible to quell the excitement, which
every moment was becoming greater. In
their fury the mob broke down the iron
grating of the windows, and doors, and the
officers found that it was useless to resist it.
The crowd coon filled the Jail, and the cell
| door in which the murderer was confined
was broken open. A rope was produced, and
it was soon placed around Piercc's neck. He
was taken from the jail accompanied by

across the street and hanged, lite becoming

was witnessed by at least 5000 people.
