On Saturday, Wall. Hight sold thirteen mules to Jesse A. Mitchell for $88.50 each. On Monday morning Hight and Oc. Souder started overland to Bedford with the mules. Everybody knows genial, jolly Bob. Gamble. He was raised here, and has lived here always. Well Bob is a candidate for county Auditor, and if he secures the nomination, he will make the. bushes crack aroun'dthe he4d,of the Democratic nominee, whoever he may be. Bob is a competent businiss man, and would give entire satisfaction in the
ofhee if elected which he wjjl be if
nominated. As an illustration that ''white man's mighty onsartin," nearly every man on the Stockwell jury, last week who was counted by the temperance people as opposed to them, was for them. One man who stood oot for conviction was said to be in the saloon playing billiards the afternoon of the day he was discharged. A citizen of Bedford who was attending court in this place last week as a witness, got into n difficulty in front of McGee's clothing storif last Saturday forenoon. Stepping up to one of McGee's dummies he iaquircd the time oi' day and receiving no answer b.-can;e angry

prone upon the pavement. Jt was not till he got his feet entangled to Uie wire body that be saw his mistake. City life is full of vexatious incidents to these people.

Mr. Waldrou will build up the front of his room on the northeast corner of the square like tbe block now occupied by Stuart & McPheeters. A "Billee Taylor" matinee was given by Mendelssohn Society, last Saturday, and a large audience of children were delighted with the music of the opera. James B.

Bishop Chatard has ordered Father

The members of the church in
this place seem to be in a state of cheerful resignation over the change Geo. M. Faris, who left Bloomington twenty years ago, sends for the Progreat. He is a brother of Mrs. Beers, and his pot office address is "The Dalles, Wasco co., Oregon." Toney Winder went into Allen's hardware store, last week, his black dog following him.

Treat, who made the gallant fight for Congress against Matson, is announced as a candidate for County Clerk, before the Republican convention. Every man, woman and child in the county, it is presumed,, knows Eld. Treat, and of his qualifications it is unnecessary to speak. Mr. Treat is an ar--deat Republican, made a strong canvass in the Fall of 1880, and will do it again if nominated.

As compared with offices in other counties, how do yoq findt these of Monroe. ? Riley Y'erX wc" Hery wejl .lo? deed j particularly the Clerk's of fice j I tif ink it is managed as welt, if not better, than any office I have yet investigated. The rircords are kept by Wall. Browning, the Deputy, and are, without exception, the neatest, and contain fewer errors, than the books of any clerk I have ever known, and I have had occasion to examine so many that I ought to be considered a competent j udge in such matters. Rep. Are not he, other offices managed well ? Riley. Yes, but there is so much record work in the Clerk's office, and there has been such a vast amount of it done in the pas) seven years that it is very noticeable. The people of the county may well be proud of such an officer, as they are exceedingly rare in Indiana,and when they are found should be retained. Rep. Are you not a little extravagant in your statements, Mr. Riley. Riley No, sir ; I only ask any unprejudiced man, be he Democrat, Republican or Greenbacker, tq examine the books in the Clerk's office, to prove the truth of njy assertions. It is a matter of business with me, and when I strike a set of well kept books I believe I know it.
