I mean what I say. C. A. MOBLEY. em Physicians very often prescribe, at this time of year, medicines that have for their basa pore brandy or whisky. If the patient gats impure spirits these made poisonous by dishonest city rectifiers the effect is very harmful. A reputation for securing and selling only pore and unadulterated liquors, is worth something toe man. Such a reputation August Kreuger has earned by many years of experience, and persons who require whisky or brandy ior medicinal purposes, may rest assared that when they boy it of Krenger, they get it as it comes from the distillery, without any doctoring. The best of anything ia none too good for the people, and while thy are buying they should get the best it is cheapest. Personal. I have some leisure time to devote to watch repairing at my furniture store, north side of the square, and as it is an ouU ide matter, costing but little. I can work cheaper than anybody.
I employ no boys to botch work, but do it mvself. and uv experience and work are
sufficient enarantees as to its superiority.
Give me a call. John P. Smith.

Mrs. Applegate, of Corydon, Ind., daughter of Casper Vanzandt, is visiting her parents in Bloomington. On Wednesday night of last week Mrs. Rawles left Bloomington for Greensburg, in response to a telegram informing her that her daughter's condition was almost hopeless. James M. Cropsey, one of the leading anti-prohibition Democrats of Indianapolis, was an attorney for the Sullivan saloon keeper who was contending for license last week. A letter from Lum. Browning
states that there is a splendid pros
pect for crops in the vicinity of
Dalton, Ga., where the family is located. They are well pleased with
their new home.
On Thursday Dr. Jas. Max

-In circuit court, last Thursday
morning, Judge Wilson decided
that it was the duty of the city election board to have issued a cer
tificate to E. P. Adams showing
that he had been elected city marshal. He held that without such certificate the parties were not in posi
tion to try the merits of the case.
- The fifty-third annual commencement of Indiana University will be held next month, commenc

Joe Allen has a young Republican at his house. Dr. Moss is at present in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. L. E. McKinney has been in Indianapolis during the past week. A telephone wire has been stretched from the Adams Express office to Waldron's tannery. Mrs. Jul. Fee and children are in Indianapolis, were they are visiting friends. Rev. McNary is attending the Grand Assembly of the U. P. church, in Monmouth, Ills. Prof. Ballenttne occupied the pulpit in the Walnut at. Presbyterian church, last Sunday. In the suit of Miss Moore against a young man named Doild, the jury last Friday evening gave her $300 damages for seduction. C. P. Tuley and Jas. Hendrix, travelers for Showers' Bros, bedstead factory, were here over Sunday. Married at the Phillips House, in Bloomington, May 17, at 4 o'clock, by Rev. Wm. F. Reed, Mr. James T. Smith and Eliza Vanderman, all of Kent's Mill, Brown co. The through trains from Chicago to Louisville begun with a good business which has been steadily increasing each day. The decoration day ceremonies promise to be unusually impressive and well attended. The program will be found in to-day's paper. About July 10th, Judge Hord will hold a special term of circuit court for the purpose of trying the Shoemaker-Smith case. Eslinger, the Sullivan man who is struggling for a retail liquor license in this place, has secured a change of venue from the county. -A brother of Presley Harbison, a citizen of Clayton, Ills., stopped hereon his way home. He has been east on a wedding tour, having visited New York, Baltimore aud Philadelphia. On Thursday last Ryors & Co. received from Milwaukie a 200horse power corliss engine for their .spoke and hub factory. The fly
wheel, alone, was a load for one flat car. The agent of the Morton Monument Fund paid this place a visit
last week, for the purpose of collecting the amount assessed against
Monroe county. Ho did not suc
ceed, but was promised an cffoi;t will
be made in that direction. Thos. C. Martin, of Bean Blos
som tp., will be a candidate before
the county convention, next Satur-
day,for the nomination for Treasurer. Mr. Martin is a life-long Re
publican, and a man who would fill the office satisfactorily to all con
cerned.
The delegates selected by the Republican township conventions
comprise the representative men of the county, as will be seen by read
ing the list of names published in another column. James Williams of Stinesville,
and Dr. Simpson 0f Harrodsburg,
are candidates for Joint Representative Democratic, of course, as no
other kind can be elected in this
"deestrict." A number of persons took advantage of the low rate of fare offered on the O. & M. railroad to Cincinnati, last Friday morning; among them James Pauley, H. J. Feltus, John C. Whisnand, John Woolley, Thomas N. Blair, James Kelly and Florence Hunter. I Prof. Reade, the elocutionist,! gave a reading inMendelsaohnHall, ; Tuesday night of last weck,that was keenly enjoyed by a large audience. Prof. R. is a very pleasant gentleman socially, as well as a thorough artist in his profession. The through trains run every day (or night). A man who may desire to attend church in Louisville, can leave here on the train Sunday morning at about 5 o'clock, and stay in the Falls City till 7:45 in the evening. These trains will be found more convenient than the Bloomington accommodation. Wm. Bailey brought suit in circuit court, Wednesday, against George -A.

The High School contest, held in the University chapel last Thursday evening, was decidedly the most interesting literary performance given in Bloomington for several years. Though an admission fee was charged a regular commencement audience was in attendance, standing room being in demand. We understand that the exercise was a success in every particular. Every performer can feel that hp did himself credit, and the citizens of Bloomington can feel that their High School is capable of good literary work. The following is the prognim : ' EigJiya: The Tongue, Idaarb, Jr.: Necromancy, Ida ManJey, Sr. Ikibate : Question Should President Arthur have vetoed the Chinese Bill ? Alt Henry Corr, and. Morton Hall, In. Neg. L.H.Cievengor, Sherman Davis, Sr. Short Selection : Soniora, W.U.Howe Olivu Batman, O. S. Thornborry Kvh l'hillips. Juniors Lilliu Luzader, Henry Jiuckles, Carrie Slocomb, LettieEvans. Orations: Beformers, J. C. Filch, Sr; Africa, Joe Bryan, Jr. 1st Declamation ; Edinburgh after Fludlen, Delia Wylie, Sr.; Massachusetts to Virginia, Lena Woodward, JrVj declamaticn : Little Socket's Christman, Jdattie Wallingford, Jr. TneJUtUe Soldier, Oiie Mullikin, Sr. Judges: Prof. B. B. Licbardson, Frof. B. P. Cole, Mr. H. L. Bates, Mrs. W. P. McKary, Mrs. J. F. Fittman. At the conclusion of the last declamation the Judges withdrew for consultation and soon returned with their verdict. They awarded the essay to the Juniors, the debate to the Seniors, the selections to the Juniors, the oration to the Juniors, and the two declamations to the Seniors thnHj parts to each class. No doubt the decision was as satisfactory as any would have been, though, of course some dissent was expressed. At least the Senior debaters didn't have a walk over, and we feel that it would but express
the almost unanimous opinion of
the audience to say that Miss Eva Phillips and Miss Mattie Walling
ford deserve special mention. Miss
Wallingford lost the decision sim
ply because she labored under the disadvantage of speaking against
probably, the best declaimer in Bloomington, She would have beaten anybody else but her oppon
ent. The way in which she moved
the sympathy of the audience, keep
ing their eager attention, was the best tribute tc her success. In se
lection, conception and manner of
voice, her declamation was one of
the most pleaiiing things of the ev
ening. But it seems by general
consent Miss Mullikin presented
the best thing on the program. Special ment on may be deserved
by others who did not carry the decision ; to carry the decision is special mention enough. We cannot
fail to note the complete success of Nellie Payne as presiding officer of
the Junion class.
There was some disappointment that there was. no decision in favor
of one class or the other, and the
next morning;, in order that there might be, a joint committee of the
classes presented, in writing, the following to each of. the Judge1: "Will you please auswer : Taking the performance as a whole, which was superior Senior or Junior ?" The following answers were returned : "1 answer Junior." H. L. Bates. "I answer Juniors, though I consider it a very close contest.". L. G. McNary. "Tie Senior c ute was very good indeed, but I must say, t s a class, the Juniors wero superior. "Mrs. Fittman. "1 agree entirely with the opinions expressed above." K. P. Colo. "I concur in tits decision. ' B. B. Rich

Sarah Pajno ciimo with her parents
from Paris, Kentucky, to Monroe county, Indiana, in t he fall of 1819, where she re.
sided until tho time of her death. She
was married in the spring of 1S20 to
Zachariah Williams. She was tho moth
er of seven children, three of whom sur.
vive her. She was a widow forty-three
years, and just how many struggles and heartaches tnat means, can only be under.
stood by those who havo been left with a large family to support. She was a devot
ed mother and grandmother and a consist
ent christiati, bearing her troubles with a patience not often seen.
The Representative fight is
presumed to be wholly Democratic
in this district, comprising as it
does Brown and Monroe, with a
majority of about 800. Still, the Republicans of Monroe county are
deeply interested in the selection,
though ii; be by Democrats, of a man who can do the most effective work for the University when the usual appropriation is asked for.
AH the candidates are first-class men, bo far as we know, but of the qualifications of one of them we
claim to know, a great deal. John Graham was for several years Li
brarian of the Supreme Court, and since then has been identified with
the law and railroad business. He
has an extensive acquaintance with
prominent men in Indiana, is an ar
dent friend and graduate of Indi
ana University, and could do more to secure an appropriation for the
institution than any man men tioned. Ground limestone has been as
j certained to be one of the best fer
tilizers known. It is said to be worth to the farmer $5 more per
acre than phosphate or salt, and 99
more than guano.
