"Old Farmer Corner" is the place.
Spring is here, and bo also, is
the new stock at Charley Mobley's, tbe popular Fancy Goods dealer
on the south side of the square.
Each season Charley secures a more
choice stock than the season before,
and this is especially time of the selection be has made for the Spring Trade of 1883. Some of the hosiery, laces and ribbons are exquisitely beautiful, and the ladies will have them if they, once see them.
A LA roe and constantly increas
ing trade, is 'being enjoyed by
Wilson, tbe Progress Hlock grocer.
He is selling so many goods that orders are sent to wholesale dealers almost every day, and as a result
his stock is kept fresh and attractive. He has a large country trade, also, and numbers among these persons tbe best butter-makers in the county.
All seasons seem favorable for
Tobe Smith's trade. While other classes of business languish, Tobe sells large quantities of useful articles from his five and ten cent coun

show any careful farmer or house
keeper, that there is money to be
made by picking up these bargains. In silverware, and in gold jewelry,
Smith leads tbe trade in Southern

-"I have secured a sufficient
number of signatures to insure the building ot a pike six miles north
of Bloomington and am uoder obligations to the persons that helped
me, but no thanks to the old fossils who tried to defeat the project. May
the Lord have mercy on their weak minds and turn them from the error of their ways; if that cannot be done, then let them be quietly re
moved to some country where turn
pikes are never needed, but where palm leaf fans are in demand."

The New Doa Law. The
late legislature repealed the act of 1881, proWvig the sheep husbandry, and sub
stituted tor it a hodge-podge law for the
protection of dogs. It teemed not to be of any interest to the legislature that there are millions of dollars of income to the State in sheep husbandry, but not a dollar in dogs. The new law provide that any dog, though he may be known to be
a sheep-killer, may be listed for taxation and tbe 5th section provides that any person who shall kill a dog that hss been listed for taxation, or shall carry away such a dog may be fined $200 and impr isoned in the county jail. The same section provides that if such a dog so killed is known to be a dog that will kill sheep , the above provisions shall not applyThus, it is that sheep-killing dogs are protected by law under heavy penalties , and in case they are killed, persons thus protecting their sheep are forced into ex. pensive law suits to prove they were sheep-killers. It is plainly a law to protect dogs and intimidate those engaged in sheep husbandry. As we have said before, it was enacted in the interest and at the dictation of the sporting fraternity of tbe towns and cities of the State, with utter disregard to one of the great and growing industries. As under the old law, not one half enough funds will accrue under the present one to pay tbe damages to sheep killed and maimed, and the result will be renewed intimidation at entering this profitable field of husbandry. The Oovernor showed his good sense in refusing to sanction this actBut it had an emergency clause and is now a law. Indiana Farmer.
Some of the men who own lots
in the burnt district, say that they would feel very much encouraged
if people would volunteer a little advice, occasionally, as to the best manner in which to construct the

Miss Leonora Henry, daughter
of Sam'l C. Henry, six miles south of Bloomington, died after a week of severe illness, on April 5th. She bad been in delicate health for a long time, but her death was sudden and unexpected at tbe last Judge W. Q. Gresbam of Indiana has been appointed to the position of Postmaster General, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of T, O. Howe. Judge Gre9ham has a good soldier record and a fine record as a Judge and Government official. President Arthur has made no mistakes in his important appointments. Addison Smith informs the Progress that his son-in-law, Homer Sbirley,who for several years has resided at Red Oak, Texas, has recently removed to Anaheim, Los Angeles Co., California. He has been corresponding with Messrs. Gamble and Kerr, who advised bini to go to California, Shirley having had lung trouble for a number of years. Uncle Jimmy Parks died at bis home in Elletsville, on Wednesday afternoon last. The direct cause of bis death is said te have been pneumonia, he having contracted a severe cold a week previous. Deceased was born in Wilkes county, N. C, on the 26th of September, 1781. Had he lived till tae 26th of next September he would have been 102 years old. Beyond doubt he was the oldest man in southern Indiana. Treasurer McKinney baa some 1500 sheep on his ranch in Texas, and they bave paused through the winter uncommonly well. Mrs. McKinney and the children, (with
the exception of Miss Grace who is taking a course in bookkeeping at
Indianapolis) are in Texas, where
they, have built a neat cottage, and are living at home. We hope to
hear, in ten years from dale, that Capt. L. E. McKinney has become
one of the sheep and cattle kings
of Texas. Wm. Denny, of Washington township, has been paid f 1,400. back pension by the Government. Mr. Denny is a deserving man, and we are glad to know that he has been paid. There is a great deal of grumbling in some quarters over the payment of pensions, but the Progress has always insisted that the principle is right the soldiers deserve pensions and should have them. In tbis way, too, the money is more generally distributed over the country than it could be by any other plan. How ranch better it is to pay these sums to men in every township in the United States, than to have a ring of a dozen Star Routers and Railroad land grabbers take three- millions of dollars apiece? It is in the Treasury and will be expended
in some way. The pen&ion plan is
by far the best way, as deserving
men get the money, arid it goes in
to general circulation. The Art Interchange of March
1 6th, contains the most beautiful designs

After fourteen months of hard, persistent soliciting, and riding in

Deacon Chas. Alexander spent last week at Whitehall, selling calicoes and sorting eggs, in tbe branch house of Dunn & Co. It is rumored that Charley had several offers of marriage while there, but be begged time to consider, and returned to Bloomington to recuperate bis exhausted energies and change shirts. A member of Congress was he from Indiana? was recently invited to dinner in Washington. He says : "There wasn't anything en the table when I got there but some forks nnd spoons and brickybrao. Presently they brought in some soup. As I didn't see noth-
in' else, I thought I'd eat all the
soup I could, though soup is a
mighty poor dinner to invite a fel
ler to. So I was helped four times ; atd then come on the finest dinner I ever 6ee, and there I set," groaned he,-"chock full ot soup 1"
The Louisville Commercial
makes editorial mention of the fact that the town of Augusta, in Kentucky, with a population of 800 has 65 widows. But that isn't a circumstance to Bloomington. A correct census has never been taken, but it is roughly estimated that there are that many widows on one street of this town. They have discovered a new way of preserving butter so that it will last, they claim, one hundred years. Why any one should want to eat snch old butter when he can buy some five years old at any grocery is a question not before the house. Many of the people of Lawrenceburg view the recent flood in tbe light of a blessing, as some four hundred fine pianos were ruined in that, town, and the discordant pounding thereon, is, for a time at least, prevented. In the well-known Leffier Mill building I have placed tbe remnant of my stock of Groceries. It is all fresh, choice goods, and I desire to get rid of them. I am out of that business. X will sell most of these goods at cost, many
articles far below cost. Try me
and find out. J. A. Baldkidge. There is thus far a fine prospect of an abnndant peach crop next summer in the peach-growing
sections of New Jersey, New York,

An extensive cattle dealer one day last week purchased five head of cattle from a gentleman of Woodford county, Ky., at beef prices. The cattle cost the Woodford 1 county man $ 11,000, but failing to breed he sold them at the regular market price for beef. They were shipped to Cincinnati. FiNfcrt grades of goods are being received daily at Wicks's Bee Hive If you want Silks, Satins, Cashmeres, fine Laces, &c, the Bee Hive has them in abundance. Buy where you can get the latest styles in Neck Wear, Collars and Cuffs, Gloves and Hose, which place is acknowledged by all to be at Mose Kahns.
