Defying competition is Shoemaker's "best hold." He has defied it now, until he has knocked all of the profit off of stationery , and the next thing we hear upon the subject he will be charging live cents for an nvelope box, and will "throw in" Ave hundred envelopes just for fun.
This is undoubtedly a good time of
year to buy stationery, and the people are taking advantage of it. m n The largest stock of Groceries iu Town, At Dunn $ Cos.
9Sf Smith & Cochran have more goods in their finely frescoed rooni, than any otlitr firm in this section's too many, in fact, for this season of the year, and they have determined to reduce the stock, if, to accomplish that end, they are requir
ed to take less than cost for half of
their goods. "This true," go to Milton J. Smith with 5.00 in your band, and 'he will give you 10.00.
125 bushel: of Clover and Timothy Seed, at Dunn $ Cos. , Smith (John P.) is as busy as a bee, at present. He gives such universal .satisfaction that persons who have watches that need repairing, bring them to him atid wait, some of thenj, weeks till their turn comes. One reason why he is delayed with some ol his work is, the people come into the store every hall hoar, to buy watches, diamonds,gold pens, and fine jewelry, of which J.P. has an abundance.
Th Bailiroatl Tax. A few persons living and owning property oif of the line of the proposer East.nnd West Railroad, ob
ject 1.3 aiding it by a general county
tax, because they say it will not benefit them, and that those only who ire benefited, should be taxed. Ii: this they are mistaken, it will benefit every man in the county large y. There U scarcely a farmer in Monroe county who will not, immediately after the building of the road is assured, ask from three to five dollars, more per acre for his land and get ready sale for it but will not be benefitted, they tell us, by 1 tie building of a road. Xo public i mprovement can be made in a county, which will not be largely beneficial and profitable to all its people. Property near bridges,! urnpikes, and like improvements, become more valuable than that ten or twenty miles distant, yet these disj. tut farms are made more acces-
sioi'J ov ail sucn improvements, ana
becoiae enhanced in value. The people of Bloomington are taxed to build bridges in distant townships, and with as much propriety they might object to paying these taxes becai.se they arc not directly bei:.e itted by the building of bridges in Indian or Clear Creek townships. If the people of the county are opposed to voting a Railroad tax th;;.t will benefit every man in it, will tho people of the townships through which the road is intended to ran, tax themselves to benefit outside townships? We think not. m c!u.;ar at 14c per lb, at Dunn .j Cos. m There is muck anxiety upon the pert of many persons, to learn who tin:! candidates for the various county offcts are, and we have heard it inti rna .ed that their name is legion.
This we are inclined to doubt, as bt:.t few announcements have thus
fa:: been made, and it is fair to pre
sume that men who earnestly desire
nominations aro not too modest to
sav sl.

Tho Mass Rlcclling-. We trust that the Republicans of Monroe county will no1: forget or neglect to attend the Mas; Meeting at the Court House, in this place, on Saturday, 2'th inst. Tho meeting is not called f di: the purpose alone of appointing delegates to the State Convention, but the most satisfactory manner of nuking nomi nations will bo decided upon, a Centre! Committee will 1)3 selected, and an effort made to effectively organize! the Republican Party, so that good work may bo done in all. the Townships. It is to be hoped that no long-winded speeches will be indulged in, but that it wilt be purely a business meeting, participated in by large delegations from every township in the coun ty.
MfTha Central Committee Marion County, have decided hold a Delegate Convention
June, io nominate county officers. Nominations ha ve been made heretofore by Primary Elections in that county. No plan of nominating is considered fair, by those who suffer defeat.
A Kcw "Soldier's Friend."
The Bloomington Democrat of
last Saturday, sheds bitter tears over the fact that the Federal offices in Monroe county, Assessor and Collector, and the Postoffice at this place, arc not filled by soldiers. The writer then asserts that the lawyers who collect the pension and bounty money of soldiers, allow the largest portion to ''stick tc their fingers. 7 Jim Rogers, the individual who proclaims in public that; he is "the responsible editor of the Democrat " held the office of Re venue Collector in this county, for some time, under the Johnson administration. Is he a soldier ? Rogers also practices law, and does a little iu the bounty and pension business. Does he plead guilty to letting the "largest portion of the soldier's pension stick to his fingers? ' We have no doubt that the soldiers will feel gratified to learn that they have a champion in the Democrat. Dan. Voorhees
is also a friend to the soldier. Dan. will, doubtless, be a rvarni friend :o the colored man, next Fall, if the I5th amendment becomes a lav,ar d then we may confidently expect to read moving appeals to the colored Democracy, in the Bloomington Democrat.
at ion Let every Republican in Monroe county come to the Convention, on the 23th inst. Every voter should be represented. Come
and have a voice in the business of
tho meeting, so that harmony may prevail, and unity of action in the approaching campaign, be the result

Chips and Splinters, The size and brilliancy of the neck-ties worn by the gay young men, are supposed to indicate style and taste upon the part of the wear
ers. Some of them remind one of
a wind-mill, or a new patent flying machine. If there is anything that can cut a more ridiculous figure than a young swell dressed in candle
mold pants, a coat with the end of
its tail above the hips, and one of
those huge, red neck -ties with its ends standing out stiffly past each shoulder, we. haven't seen it. Men should say nothing about the ridiculous fashions of women, while the
present styles prevail among mile
