It ia said that a remonstrance
is being circulated for signatares, and tbat some names are being as-:
cured by persons who oppose the building of a turnpike running north of. Bloomington. There are
persons m every community wbo have almost invariably opposed tbe
march of progress and improve"
meat, bat they have had their day in this town and conn ty, 'tis hoped. The Progress has been promised a list of persons who sign the petition and the rensoastrajtoa, for pub
lication. Tht people will thus learn who art tht old fogies.
On Thursday night, May 18,
tht Senior and Junior classes of onr
High School will hold a literary
contest in tbt college chapel wbieh
will exdt more than usual interest. A good deal of attention is given to literary training in Preparatory ysnd
every year, two or three open per
formances are given by tht school to which the citixens art cordially wel
comed and by which, wt think,they
art well entertained. This contest,
wbieh doses tbe performances of
tbt school year, will be one of the
best seneral literary exercises the
school has ever given. There will
be nothing in tbt way of a show or
exhibition, bat number of genuine
perrhraiaQces which will famish an
mteriaunmtnt of profit. Prof. R.
B. Richardson, Henry L. Bates, Mrs: McNary aad Mrs. Pittman
have bean chosen as judges. The
University Orchestra, under the ef
ficient leadership of Mr. J. B Alii
ton, will furnish music. The class
es are under the neosmity, ia order
to meet expenses, of charging . small admittance fee. A few gen
era! expenditures for High School
purposes, are necessary, for which a
small fond is desired. We trust tbat the citizens of Bloomington
will give this literary effort of their
High School tncoungement by
large audienoa. Following is the
program:

The present high price of corn,
and the prices at which this great cereal baa rated during the past two years, ought to induce farmers to

Formerly the lords of creation

Proposals are now being ad-
vertiiied for tht building of fbor more bridges, by the county commissionersthree over Salt Creek and one over Jack's Defeat in Ellettsvilte.. During tbe past five years a number of expensive bridges have
been built in this county. Bloomington City pays about fot.r-fifths of the taxes of the county, and yet tbe county has built but one bridge
within the city limits the bridge
on South Walnut street, east of the University. The people permit
bridges to be built in all manner of :
isolated places in the county, and
pny for them without a word of ob
jection., and yet when there is a
bridge to bt built in tht city tht money comes directly out of their
pockets. Permanent stone bridges
are needed over tbe creek on 5th,
6th st., and South College Avenue,
and the county thouldpay for Hum,
just as it pays for the numerous
4,000 bridges in obscure localities
on iSalt and Bean. An the people
of Bloomington pay the bulk of
tbe taxes to build bridges, in the
out townships without protest, corn-
men justice, it seems to us, would
suggest tbe propriety of building
bridges on the creeks in Blooming
ton, just as they are built in other portions of the county. What say

At the city election, on Tues
day o f last week, there was no contest except in the 3d ward, where
Howe Ryore was brought out as a Democratic candidate against Jss. Kartell. The vote stood as follows : John Wiildron, - - 75

of our county ticket is defeated by

Several cases were brought last week to Monroe circuit court for
trial from Bedford, in which N. L.
Hall, C. L. Aley and others contest tbe payment of the narrow guage
railroiid tax. The county treasur
er, James Moore, levied on certain
property, and the owners took pos-
sesriom of it again by replevin.
Judge Herd decided that the tax
duplicate is ia the nature of a writ.
and that property levied on for tax
es is not subject to reple vin. The an
ti-tax people asked for a change of
Judges, and Judge Herd appointed J, F. Pittman. Three casts were
tried ; the first two being decided in favor of Treasurer Moore. In the third case, Bivins vs. Moore,
the jury gave Bivins a judgment fox one dollar and fifty cents. The
fourth will be tried during the pie-
seat week. Persons who desire to take advantage of the accommodation tntin for a trip to any point south, should do so this week, as it will bet the last opportunity. The train will be taken tiff Saturday night. The Democratic county central committee was in session Saturday last, and resolved to hold a oounty convention on the 10th of Jane, to nominate oounty offtgen.
