The Ii. A, IL. Anniversary.

Owing to the very unpleasant going
the attendance at the G. A. r. an
niversary held at the town hall last
Monday evening was not large but
altogether respectable. The meeting
was called to order at half past eight
by Commander H. A. Dudley, who
read the general order under which
the meeting was called and introduced
Rev. W. A. Bryant who addressed
the throne of grace, The johnson
brothers then gave one of their mint
able songs, and Commander Dudley
read a brief historical account of the
formation of the order and of Hooker
Post of this place. From this we
learned that the first Post was Or
gained at Decatur, H., April 6,
1866 with u charter members by DR..
b. F. Stephenson, Surg. of the l4th
Illinois Infantry. From this small
beginning the order has increased in
membership until it now numbers
nearly 100000 souls.
This, Hooker Post, No. 8, was Or
gained and mustered May %, 1882,
by Col. H. f. Taylor of Brattleboro,
with 20 charter members. From this
time until Mar. 3, 1888, there was no
gain in membership. From Mar. 8,
1888, to Jan. l, "a, there was gain
of 10, making 80 in good standing
in 1884 four more were mustered in,
two more in 1885, seven in 1886, but
in 1887 and 'S8 no additions were
made, in 1889 four were mustered and
fonr more in 1880, making a grand
total of GA members since the organi-
cation. OF this number II have been
granted transfer cards, have been
dropped and three mustered out BY
death.
AT the conclusion of Commander
Dudley's sketch the audience was
again favored with song by the
johnson brothers. Speaking wa!
then in order and all present listened
attentively three fourths of an hou
to remarks by Rev. o. P. Fuller
A. f. Cudworth, Esq, and Rev
Chas. Coon who dwelt upon patriotic
lines, the latter wedging in goot

which was concluded by all singing
America, could only be considered
successful one.

Wonderful
Success

The popularity which Hoods Sarsaparilla
has attained as a Spring Medicine is simply
wonderful. 1t is recognized everywhere as
the leading preparation for this season, and
no other article in the market begins to reach
the sale which this medicine has gained. Any
druggist will confirm this statement. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has reached this position of the
peoples favorite spring medicine, because it
does all that is claimed for it. 1t contains
those properties which are known to medical
science as powerful in removing poisonous
impurities from the blood, and by their tonic
effect to restore waste tissues and drive away
weakness and debility.
II am having good trade on Hoods Sar-
saparilla now, and those who use it think it
the best blood and tonic remedy on the
market" J. f. HITE, 0wensboro, Ky.

Mr.. Editor Your trumpet in the
last SITTER gave no uncertain sound,
as the ministers say, respecting the
proposed establishment of pool
room in our quiet village. If it was
a loud blast it was a just one, and
we believe it reflected more than the
average sentiment of the community
upon the subject. The more meat
markets and butchers carts the bet
ter for us who only consume, but the
fewer loafng rooms the better. But
spool room in this village, to put
it mildly, is not needed. Even its
advocates must admit that no good
would come of it. There may he
some that it would not hurt much, but
whom would it beuefit besides the
proprietor? But the influence upon
the young men and boys who would
be inclined to spend their time there
would be demoralizing. Its influence
would be downward. Let us keel
temptations away from our boys as
long as possible. They will find then
soon enough. What though the,
have such things in other places? Fo
one we should be sorry to have sucl
a place in our village, and we believ,
that it would not be successful if es
tablished, even to the proprietor,
