SOCIALISM AND ANARCHY.
Mr. O. 0. Hogue delivered a lecture at
the Congregational church last evening
on Socialism an 1 Anarchy. It was illn.
trated by several crayon sketches, one of
wnicn, -me Jbmpty stocking," was so
pathetic, that it drew tears to many eyes
buu vausea a tnroDoi sympatny in every
breast.
lne lecture waa mainly devoted to
snowing that anarchy and socialism are
not identical but really opposite theories.
The anarchist believing that all ills are
due to law would do away with all laws
except those of nature. The extreme
socialist would extend the operation of
the law till all property, excepting that
pertaining to the home should become
public property.
Every civilized country ia more or less
socialistic in its public ownerships of
roads, pot todices, parks, libraries, public
scnoois, etc., etc. He expressed the
opinion that the present age of competi
tion had reached its renith and would
soon decline. That all iiatioos and sys
tems of society were like individuals in
their birth, growth, maturity and decay.
and that we could not expect the present
state oi society to oe an exception to tne
general rale. That it was the duty of
christians especially to note the signs of
the times ana prepare the way ior the
new era loaieau oi retarding its progress.
The lecturer quoted Carlyle to prove that
the evolution of English "society though
occupying 250 years was better tlian the
French revolution, which required only
four.
His idea seemed to be that we should
experiment with the view to making the
condition of the lower class more bear
able and retain what proved satisfactory.
M. Hogue showed there were many
forma of socialism but dealt with only
three, communism, co-operation and
state socialism.
He said little regarding commnni?m,
except that the early christians ptacticed
it successfully for 500 years, and that
most societies organized on this plan had
failed.
In co-operation he showed the im
mense strides made in England, Ger
many and the United States in co-oper-tive
stores, factories and colonies. He
ommitted (perhaps for lack of time, as
he said he was cutting his talk down) to
show the most striking socialistic move
ment on co-operative lines, that of fra
ternal societies for insurance, etc.
The speaker depicted the growth of
state socialism and gave a few results.
The closing remarks were an appeal to
Chrtetiansto lay aside prejudice andwork
fcr the Golden Rule,
A 'arge audience listened to '.he lecture
with the closest attention to the end.
COLLEGE NOTES.
All the students who left town dur'ng
Thanksgiving recess have returned and

nere during the past wek. The entire
stock of general merchandise of A. F.
Hamilton was eold to J. l Hon, of Sweet
Home, who has since removed the coot I a
to his store at the latter place. This
cuange is not nitidiy received by our
people, as they are unwilling to lose a
man wnoso business relations with them
has been so agreeable as has those of
Mr. Hamilton. Hereafter he will give
ins entire attention to ma larm near
Crawfonfcville.
A shocking rccldent waa narrowly
averted near here a few days ago at the

A petition for another road between

quest it is hoped that the viewers will
nee to it that the road ia located on
ground suitable for the parpos, and not
where it will always be dangerous and
often impassable as is the condition of a!
road located in this part of the county.
The moat disgusting thing connected
with the locating of the road last refer

And, as a president's power of wilt

Mr. Polk took Ajrefs Pills I trow
For his liver,- SO years ago.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills
were designed to supply a
model purgative to people who
had so long injured themselves
with griping medicines. Being
carefully prepared and their In
gradients adjusted to the ezaot
necessities of the bowels and
liver, their popularity was in
stantaneous. That this popu
larity has been maintained la
well marked in the medal
awarded these pills at the

(Mr. Graham is now rutininga ihop only
a short distance from the same place )
A suggestion was made that ten or
fllteen acrea bo purchased across the
rive, for $300 or $100 and he improved
lor a city parte, timt in a lew years
a bridge would be built and then
Much a park would be ot inestimable
value to Albany. .
Nearly 150 buildings wore erected in
AU.any during 1875.
The Linn county fair was again pro
nounced a failure, one reason given be
ing a great scarcity of ni ney. The hand
engine during the fair threw water 180
feet through a 1 inch nozzle.

Wheat was 80 cents at Aleany, when
