The summer trade at Charley Mobley's is a imiwrtant as the
spring or fall trade. Charley is so
well known as a leading and popular fancy and dry goods man, that bis customers expect always to find novelties in bis store room, and in this they are never disappointed. He makes frequent trips to the cities and always returns with a veil selected stock. During the summer months he receives light orders of choke goods every week or two, thus keeping his stock in prime condition. His lady custo mers are requested to give him a call before concluding a purchase. Oystebs!

Every tax payer of this city is interested in having the proper
quantity of broken stone put on the
space in front of his lot. In the
first place he pays for a thickness
of six inches at the gutter edge, in
creasing gradually to nine inches in the middle and up to twelve inches
in the center of the street, tbe stone
to be broken into pieces small en
ough to pass through a two inch
ring. In the second place when the layer of stone is worn out it must be replaced by the city, and
every citizen is taxed to pay for it. See to it then that you get honest
work done the kind you pay for. The wet weather, with its ac
companiment of mud, will be here long before the city's part of the Glh street McAdaniizing will be completed. Why not have the crossings put down at once, so that
people living on that street will not
be compelled to swim? The re
placing of the crossings will not interfere with the other work on
the contrary the crossings will assist
in holding the broken stone in its
place. The paving stones belong
ing to these crossings are piled up
in their proper places, and only
need to be laid down.
Prof. Greene, who it will be

Tbe Baxter vs. Warring malpractice suit was called, in circuit court, last Thursday, and a change of venue was taken to Lawrence county. The parties have been assured, we learn, that the case will be tried at the time set down. The reliable book and stationery house, conducted by E. P. Cole, has been heavily stocked for the Bchool year, and students, teachers, and citizens, will find here many little articles they may need.

Do you see that crowd ? Yes ; where is it going? It is going to Kahn fc Tauenbaum's big "Boss" clothing house. Why do the people rush so frantically ? Because they are anxious to buy some of the new style clothing. Do they sell cheaply ? Yes ; that is the great attraction at the "Boss."

Married, at the residence of
the bride's parents, near Etlcltsvillc, on Tuesday, Sept. 5th, by Eld. J. L. Matthews, brother of the bride, Miss Phoebe Matthews to J. R. Hairis,of Ellettsville. The faculty of Purdue College decided that the Geeek letter societies wielded an evil influence over the students, and accordingly demanded from them a pledge to withdraw from membership on pain of dismissal. The boys refused, a test case was made in supreme court, and the students were upheld on the ground that the faculty had assumed unwarrantable authority. It is said that the faculty will take the case to tbe supreme court of the United States. Chicago appears to bo changing from an almost exclusively spring wheat market. The fact is that the spring wheat producing region is moving too far to the northwest to find its best outlet to cheap lake transportation at Chicago. At the same time the production of winter wheat is so increased as to replace the spring wheat. What puzzles the average citizen in hot weather is to explain why it is that his stockings will work down and his undershirt up,
at the same time. Brown has con
nected the two extremes with a piece of elastic, thus making the
shirt hold the stocking leg up and
.the stocking leg hold the shirt
down.

Corn 90 cents per bushel ! Mr,
Editor, I can remember wheu I
drove from this side of Bloomington to New Albany with a twohorse load of corn, and fancied I was getting a handsome price at fifteen cents per bushel, taking pa in coffee at fifty cents per pound, sugar at twenty-five and thirty, unci tea
at a dollar and a half and two dol
lars. You can conclude that twenty or thirty bushels of corn at fifteen cents wouldu't buy a very big bill of groceries. Besides, we had to work our corn with single-shov
el plows, sometimes only with a
10c, and plant by hand, and it took
three times the work then that it
takes now to get a bushel of corn to
market. Yet our farmers nowadays
complain of hard times. I just wish some of those fellows that are
with the brethren and friends. At the same place, on Sunday, 24th inst., there will be a Basket Meeting. The people generally are in
vited to attend, and bring their baskets well filled. Piling up on the street pieces of broken stone varying in size from three to six inches, is not McAdaniizing. They do not become compact till they have been driven over about a year, aud then they sink down iu holes and hollows, so that tbe road is very often two or three inches lower thau it should be. People who are compelled to reach down into their pockets for $50 a lot to pay for McAdaniizing, iu addition to their share of tax for street and alley work, ought to interest themselves in this matter. It
is not only their right but their duty to see that they get such work as they pay for. Married, at the residence of H. S. Bates, on the evening of Aug. 20th, by Prof. Ball autine, Mr. Chas. Sears to Miss Faimic Todd.

Chas. Mitchell, boss salesman for Wicks & Co., is preparing articles of association for a turnpike company the road to be built from Bloomington to Wood Yard. The question the voters down in Lawrencehcounty ask Joe Henley is, "How much majority do you want ?"

May, Every indication points to a heavy fall and winter trade. Crops are uniformly good and money will as a result be plenty. The trade in summer goods has not been quite so heavy as usual owing to the busy
harvest, and this will be eompensat
ed for by the augmented trade next
mouth. In anticipation of this
the merchants of Bloomington have
made extraordinarily large pur
