"The records show that daring Maj. Grimes' term of office 258
men nave served as jurors in the
ctrcait court. Of these 72 were of
tbe regular panels, and 188 were
talesmen, men takes from the bystanders or summoned as special venires. The same records show
that the amount paid out to jurors J i . . mm MA Oik
uunng was time was ?iyjiz..v. Of this amount $359.90 was paid to Democrats, and $1,516.60 to Republicans. If, as we charge, the selecting of juries has not been ran in the interest of the Republican party (we should say Republican candidate), how is it that nearly five times as much money has been
paid to Republican jurors as (has been paid to Democratic jurors ?
UouM it be possible that if jurors ere selected at random, without J -gard to political parties, that the amount of fees paid to tbe republicans would be five times greater than that to Democrats V Courier. The sheriff has nothing to do with selecting the regular panel jury commissioners, a Democrat and a Republican, do that it is only the picked np jnrymeo or. tales men, that the sheriff calls on. He calls such men as are in the court room, and as Bloomingtan city and township are largely Republican in polities, more Republicans than De
mocrats are always to be found in tbe court room. Below we give the names of tbe talesmen who have served under If a. Grimes's administration, except for the November Term, 1880 the list for that Term having been taken out of the clerk's office, it is supposed, by th, parties who made ap the Courier's statement, and was not returned: February Term. 1881 Bemiblicans.

"It is also a fact that Democrats have been promised positions on juries if they would vote for some republican candidates, and especially for sheriff." Courier.
We challenge the Courier to pro
duce proof that Major Grimes, the
present sheriff, has ever promised
positions as jurors, money, or any
other consideration, in order to induce any man to vote for him. Joseph Rogers, son of I. Milt. Rogers, and Samuel Smith of Goport, have gone to Louisville, to attend medical lectures. Dr. Jaa.

Prohibition is the leading thought of the day, and I am in fnvor of Prohibition. I believe that the mixing
nuu oksb ui 4 iii jjui a niiu poisonous iiqiiors ought to be promptly prohibited. There are perhaps not three families in twenty that do not.keep whisky in the bouse for some real or fancied necessity, and no argument is needed to prove to them that this whisky, for which they pay a liberal price, and is dosed to tho children and women, should be pure. I am prepared to prove to all who call on mo that X keep whisky (and have a quart license just as your druggist has) that is unquestionably pure going direct from the distillery to the government warehouse, then to me. I will show the Government stamps nnd receipts to prove this, and only ask that you will not poison yourself with tbe rectified stuff that is often sold. AUGUST KRBP6.BR.

It was Isora Sanders, and. not
"Leroy," as was published in last week's Progress that has the bankrupt sale suit with John Waldroo. Leroy is making too much money out of the National Hotel to bother
about law suits. Manager Donavin, during tbe past two seasons, has been unable to meet tbe demands of lecture associations, lyceums, societies, etc., by at least three hundred nights. To meet this demand two separate companies have been organized,and will be known as "Donivan's 'Original' Tennesseeans" and "Donavin's 'Famous' Tennesaeeans." Each company is composed of a double quartette and an accompanist. Mr. Donavin guarantees that he has preserved in the "Original" and "Famous" companies, every excellence which made the reputation of the "Original" Teuncsseeans the the most enviable of any colored company that ever appealed to the confidence and patronage of the people. Tbe "Famous" company is to appear in Bloomington at night Friday, Oct. 6th. The one hundred aud first birthday of Hon. James Parks was

It is estimated that 5,000 people were on the grounds at Ellettsville, upon the occasion of Uncle Jimmy Parks 101st birthday. The old man was present, and for two mortal hours stood while the thoughtless people jerked his arms and cracked the bones of his weak
hands by their foolish custom of
"shaking." David Byers was made
President of the meeting, and P.T. Matthews acted as Secretary. -The visitors were treated to music and speeehmaking without UU, and as the day was perfect, everybody
seemed in a good humor, and en
joyed the occasion fully. -Louis Hughi moved to Morgan county with his family, this week. He has sold his restaurant to a man from Shoals, On Monday the McLean county, Ills., visitors left for their homes. There were thirty-eight in all, and they secured round trip tickets for 15.50 each. Pretty Calicos, in all shades, styJciB and colors, just arrived from Chicago, and now for sale in the dry goods house of MoCalla & Co. We candidly believe that John Graham will be elected. Courier. Well, he ought to be elected, it would seem, his party having 800 majority in Brown county. The Courier says that five timijs as much money has been paid to Republican jurors as to Democrat jurors, under Major Grimes's administration. Tbe names and amounts will be found on this page, from which it will be seen that the Courier's informant is mistaken. Before any more families are invited to locate in Bloomington it would be well to "appoint a committee" to build a few dwelling houses. There are no empty houses in this place. The only way to se
cure a house is to buy it, and sot-res
