Heaiy Elfet made a vary ered-

itajde display of fine corn, in front of the Progress office, last Saturday. He had some twenty varie

ties on exhibition, and the grain and stalks would certainty give any

one favorable impression of Mon

hibited, and one monster stalk had attained a height of seventeen feet !

Mr, Eller is. an ardent agriculturist, always endeavoring to secure

Mr. Hall, the candidate on the

Republican ticket for Recorder, was around here last week looking op bis political prospects. We like the appearance of Mr. Hall very well, and think he is the man for the Recorder's office. "So Bob, yoo may depend on giving op the office an November next. Health is pretty good in this neighborhood, which has been pret

ty ranch the case all summer, and if

t continues so, we think Dr. Smith sorely will have to bang up his pillbags and go to work. If the Courier does take its text on Wall Browning to preach, the Republican party's funeral, Mi-.

All manner of wild rumors were afloat Monday morning with reference to an assignment said to have been made by Byors & Co.,

spoke and hub manufacturers. An

effort was made-to, run the rumor-

down, and we have ascertained that an agent of the Toledo wagon works

was here all last week taking an invoice and getting matters in a shape to suit his firm, who have a claim of some 113,000. On Saturday evening a conveyance by deed was made, to the Toledo Wagon Works and Jos. M. Howe, of the property, machinery and stock. Whether the other creditors are left out we could not learn. It would be better for interested parties to give the facts for publication, and thus prevent wild and damaging rumors, in cases like'this.

They do say that Matson,whose

mission as a Congressman seems to

be the distribution of turnip seed,

has fooled some-of his constituents by sending tbera radish instead of turnip seed. Ok, isn't he just too naughty ?

A great many of the house-

keepers in this locality, are discovering to their sorrow, that tomato

to understand why this should be so this season.

John Bock, whose arrest was

Last Saturday evening James Small and his engineer, Clark Mc

Laughlin, were changing dies in the stone crusher. To tighten it a small quantity of Babbit metal is used. Mud was used as a dam,and it is supposed the steam generated caused an explosion. The molten metal was thrown into the faces of the two men, burning McLaughlin on the left side of the face in a serious manner ; his eyes are swollen shut, so that it is impossible to determine if his sight is injured. Mr. Small was severely 'burned on the forehead. Rich fabrics are now piled up on Benj. McGee's shelves, from which he is cutting some very handsome and stylish suits of clothes (the wedding suits are all made by McGee) and it is astonishing how well you may dress if you will expend thirty-five or forty dollars with the Prince of Merchant Tailors McGee. He seldom loses a customer, except by death, and it would surprise you to see the orders he receives from far-away points. McGee dqes honest work, uses firstclass materials, and his suits fit perfectly. What more could you ask. The seasok for the delicious Oyster is again at haud, and Henry Benckert, in bis cozy Oyster Room, north of Geo. Atkinson's, is prepared to.' serve Oysters in all styles,and in the best manner.

of fuel. Wood is selling at Jf) per cord. r - The quarrymen, citizens, and the farmers near Ellettsville, are reminded that Capt. Friedley will speak in that town next Saturday night.

Displays of fine jewelry, ornamental clocks, standard silverware, first-class time-keeping watches,and everything in that Hue are made from new arrivals at Tone Smith's

eaoh week. In the matter of wad-1 ding presents you find a richer sup- j ply at Tobe Smith's than at t,ny I other jewelry house this side of Louisville or Cincinnati. It would

be impossible to enumerate a part of the articles kept iu Smith's establishment. It is a "Bazai" in all that the term implies, and everything made and sold (in the fancy line) can be found here. The "oli farmer corner" is the headquarters of John K. Anderson & Co., the popular and successful Grocers. This firm has superior facilities for taking care of country produce, and gives that branch of the business particular attention. Numbering as customers some of the best farmers in the

county, this grocery store can recommend its produce to consumers as the best that is brought to town.

A fall stock is being put in that will please the patrons of this house. Call and see the firm anyhow all the good people are welcome.

claimed, was reversal in favor of

The farmers of this county having found by experience that the use of fertilizers will increase the yield of wheat, and give them a proportionate increase in other crops,are making engagements with our dealers for double the quantity purchased last year.

In asking the township trus

tees to appoint some such men (for county superintendent) as Wood-

burn, Beck, or Cole, you should have added,- "or some other good Republican." Courier. Prof. Beck is a Democrat. ? Does the Courier propose to read him out of the party ? The colt show, last Saturday, was a surprise to its originators. Instead of a dozen or two colts, about one hundred were brought to town. And they were the best colts ever seen in the county. Tjie day was lovely if made to order could not have been better. People got a better idea of the resources of the county through this show than they have had, and strangers who chanced to be in town were favorably impressed. "It is also a fact that Democrats have been promised positions on juries if they would vote for some re

publican candidates, and especially for sheriff." Cdurier. If the editor of the Courier has knowledge of any such transaction it his duty as a citizen and a Dem

ocrat, to go before the grand jury

and have the parties indicted. He

says, "it is also a fact," and "a fact''

like this ought to be easily proven. Will he do it? Married, on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 20th, at the residence of the bride's parents, Miss Lucy B. Howe to Mr. Edwin H. Frazier, Eld. Philpult officiating. The

What the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee Thinks of Democrats as Jurymen. Tho editor of the Courier evi

dently has a very poor opinion of

Democrats (men ot his party' faith)

who have been so unfortunate as to

be caught upon juries. Men do not, usually, serve on juries from choice it; is regarded as a hardship to be compelled to lie on a hard bench all night, and wait for two or three stubborn men to agree to the verdict of the majority. But listen to the words of the Chairman of the Monroe County Democratic Central Committee, and then make make up your own verdict : "A large portion of tho Democrats who have been called to serve on juries are men who were known to scratch their tickets on election days. Meu who invariably voted at least, a part of the republican county ticket, and especially for sheriff. Examine the electiop returns of the townships for the past ten yearn, and it will be seen that in some of them Democratic candidates for sheriff have always ran behind their ticket. And it is alio known that Democrats who have voted for republican candidates fur sheriff, have in many cases been given jwsitions on the juries, either before or after the elections. It is also a fact that Democrats have been promised positions oh juries if they would vote for some repub

lican candidates." The Progress does not believe that "a large por-tjon of the Democrats who have been called upon to serve on jur jes" are as "bad" as Mr. Ftiltus charges them with, being. Mr. Caruthers, it is said, denies that he was drowned Saturday a week, though the most minute particulars were given in this place. Mr. Caruthers ought to know best, and we hope for his own comfort this winter, that the first story is without foundation. The streets of Bloomington are too wide by twenty fee. It costs a small fortune to MoAdamize one of them. They are so wide that but ten or twelve feet are used as a track in the center, leaving about fifteen feet of MAdamized'road on each side that is never driven over, and upon which the weeds grow luxuriantly. The streets of Bloomington are wide enough tor a city of 200,000 souls. They are much wider than the streets of Cincinnati. As we have said before, they are unnecessarily wide. "It. is high time, then, that men should be selected who have the necessary qualifications for good jur? ors, and without regard to party affiliations." Courier. We challenge the Courier to name one cn, placed on a jury by Major Cfrjnjei!, who did not "have the necessary' qualifications for a good juror.?'' Call him out. Newt. Mathers, the popular stock buyer, has removed to Bloomington, and is occupying the "Billiard" property.
