Peoplb from other towns express their great surprise when they see the wonderful display of rich
Wares exhibited in Tobe Smith's
Bexar. -It is equal to the so-called
Expositions, now ronnioi; in this
coon try. His display of silver
ware is in itself marvellous. His trade has so expanded during the
past three years that quite recently be built an extension to his room,
and it is now a show in itself. It
is no uncommon thine for Smith
to sell five or six watches and eight or ten clocks in one day, Besides
wagon loads of cheaper goods that he keeps in stock for those who de
sire tbem.

The glorious sunshine of the
past month has been improved by
the industrious housewife, in the
preparation of fruit for the long
winter months.
Thomas Y. Bader has sold his
land in Marion Township, consist
irsg of 340 acres, for 5,800. Mike
Fleener was the purchaser, he paying $18 per acre for 300 acres, and f 10 per acre for the remaining 40.
Mr. Bader has bought a residence
in Greencaatle, paying 2,525t and will remove to that place. The Progress wishes Mr. Bader good fortune in his new home, while re
gretting his determination to re
move from the county. The new three-cent postal notes will prove a very convenient
device for mail remittances of
small sums of money. These notes,
are, in reality, but certificates of
deposit, and may pass from band
to hand like notes or checks. They
resemble a National Bank note.
In the centre appears the name of
the issuing office and of the office
to which it is sent. The names of
twelve months and the dates of
the twelve years, from 1883 to 1894, are printed at one end, and at
the other columns of figures repre
senting dollars, dimes and cents.
The notes are for all sums under 5. The charge is three cents for all denominations. The applicant buys the note as he would postage stamps. The postmaster punches the date by year and month, and
also punches the figures indicating its value in dollars, dimes and cents, up to 4.99. It is payable
to the bearer at any time within three months from the last day of
the month of its issue, snd the sig
nature of the payee must he affixed
at the office of payment.
It is certainly useless to bring
forward an argument to show the necessity of better public hall accommodations in Bloomington. The owners of Mendelssohn Hall could make it a convenient and
cosy opera house, by extending the
room south to the alley. There is
not a day that troupes do not make applications for ball room here, but it is impossible to promise them such accommodations as they secure in other towns of the pretens
ions of Bloomington. There ought to be some provision of this kind People need amusement as well as
work. Bloomington has been crowd
ed with people, during the past two weeks. Conference had not
more than adjourned till the Fall Term of College begun, with a large attendance. Then came cir
cuit court with a term of uncom
mon interest, so that we have bad
a busy week. Take it as a whole,
Bloomington is as lively a town as
you will find in an .ordinary, day's
jide.
One day last week, Mahloo, a Bine-year old son of George Lamp-
kins, killed, a rattlesnake, near the
residence of bis father, in Benton
township, which measured six feet
in length, and bad six rattles and a
button. Not many men would care to stand and fight a six- foot rattlesnake. Mablon ought to have a commission he's too nervy for a private. The woman who during the hot weather ot August has been cooking for a half dozen visitors, while she carried one child on her left arm, and another clung to her dress, will get her reward in Heaven perhaps. - Wouldn't it be pleas-
anter to hava the reward in this world, however, so that she might
take a little rest?
it will soon be time to sow wheat. It is better to put iu ten acres of wheat on well-prepared
ground, with bone manure or phosphate, than to sow twenty-five se
res carelessly. The farmers of
Monroe County are learning this, too. A. very large number of Bloomington people went to Louisville last week. Persons can take the 4 o'clock train, do the Exposition thoroughly, and return on the midnight train. Julian Wentwortb, Mrs. Cora Tenant, and their grandmother, Mrs. Hunter, have been visiting friends in this place during the past week. Villa, the Bloomington favorite, will be here early in November, with a new brass band and twenty first-dass'performen. Mas. J. 8. Beem, of Spencer,
sister or ijeni. Jucuee, died one
day last week. Mr. MeGee attended the funeral. Merchants evidently expect to sell heaps of goods this Fall. They aw bringing cax-Ioad lots.

The, other evening on the Chicago bound train, some young
bloods set in to have an all-night
time of it in a Pullman car. After passing Bloomington, bottle after bottle of champagne was uncorked, and drank iu flowing bumpers to
each other's health. Pretty soon the ice began to give out And fre
quent calls were made on the porter for fresh supplies.of frozen com
fort. Finally the porter said there
was no more to be had, but a sil
ver dollar soon produced the de sired article. After repeated brib-
ings and repeated productions, the
patience of the porter gave out, and he . declared that he could get no more ice. They offeied him a much larger bribe. His eyes dilated and sparkled as he looked at .the prize, but he shook his head dolefully and said: "Can't do it; de baggage master says he'll kill me if I take any more ice off dat corpse." A former citizen of Blooming ton, now a resident of Kansas, sends a renewel of subscription to the Progress, and says in his letter: "A paper that has so persistently and untiriogly worked to 'boom' Bloomington and Monroe County, as yours has done since I hsve known it. ("now going on seventeen
years,) certainly deserves a liberal
and cneerlul patronage irom toe public,'' Thank you. We are gratified to assure our Kansas friend that the Progress is doing a healthy
business, but we have never been inclined to blaster and blow about
it, as done by many papers nowadays.
-An immense clothing store
will be opened in the corner Toom of the new block, now being finished, by Charles P. Tourner & Co.,
Prop's. Mr. Turner has bought a making arrangements to buy a
stock that Will eclipse anything
ever seen here, and it will not be many days till the wonder and admiration of our people will be eli
cited by a grand display of this nature. . It looks like three cloth
ing stores would be one too many, but the Company write to the
Progress that they have the goods and the money to pay for" them, and that they will sell just as low as they want to. When the "Queen City" undertakes to do anything it is usually a success. Many df our readers will remember Miss Florence Dittmore, who made her home with the parents of Frank Worley of Ellettsville, some years ago, She was married to a gentleman named Legg, of Waldron, Ills., and has recently become entirely blind. She had been suffering from weak eyes, and one morning awoke to find her sight gone. This is a calamity so trerible as to be difficult of realization. Throughout Minnesota the 15th of August is known as "Prairie Chicken, day," In. anticipation of the end of the season in which feathered game is protected by law, parties of gunners are made up in advance, and On Aug. 15 they ; are in the regions where the gameVis most plentiful. The shooting this season is Baid to be unusually good. Citizen : Jas. Ellet leaves this place to-day for Kansas, in company with the father and mother of his wife, W. B. Alexander and wife, and thefamily of H. Francisco. James intends to pre-empt
a piece of land. While in Kansas a short time ago Mr. Francisco
bought 160 acres of very fine land. Citizen: Last Friday a 12
year boy of J. W, Bradford, who lives near Whitehall, had a revol
ver in his hand and while attempt ing to take the cylinder out a cart'
ridge in one of the chambers was discharged, entering the boy's left
i hand between the first and second
fingers. He wss brought to town
by Mr. Bradford and after an ex
amination by Drs. McPheeters, Harris and Whitted, they decided
that it would not be advisable to probe for the ball for a few days,
and it is yet in his hand. The
wound is painful, and may yet
prove very trouDiesome,
The freight trains qow lay
over at Bloomington station, and a

The Orchard House, one of
the most home-like hotels in the
country, is having a steady run of
good custom, a oustom tha has been earned by attention to the de
tails of the business. Clean beds,
airy rooms, a neat table, well sop
plied, are a few of the inducements
offered.
John Wylie has gone to Chat
tanooga, Tcpn., with the hope of
securing aeutfit for Iud; trouble.
RatabaUgh, the fellow charged
with stealing wool, slipped out of
the court house, one day last week, and is still at large. If he had remained, the case would -doubtless have been dismissed, as the prosecuting witnesses, L. E. MoKinney and Charley Dunham, have both left the country, and when thrice called at the court house doof, come not. Holders of look boxes in Bloomington Postoffice, Will see by the following order just issued by the Postoffice Department at Washington, that Postmaster McPheeters will have no other alternative than to require a deposit for keys : Poitmasten at offices not located la Government buildings will require a deposit of fifty cents for each key to lock' bozei and drawers rented by them, and on return of the keys tbey will refund the amount deposited therefor. Mr. Duckwall and family left Bloomington on Wednesday last for Manatee, Florida. Several persons from Bedford joined them
at that town, and wi.U .accompany
the Dnckwalls to the land' of
swamps, oranges and alligatora.
J. B. Unveraagt, the Priest
who has had charge of the Cthohc
Church in this place, for several
years, says that "after seven efforts
he has at last secured his remo-val.
and that he will go to Newcastle,
Ind. Good joke.
. The State Geologist's report
has been published, and a copy has
been left at this office by County
Auditor Fulk. When time per
mits, the Progress expects to peruse the work and find some flattering
accounts of Bloomington's geologi
cal formation. Says the Indianapolis Htrald :
I met a student from a rural
eity, Thursday. He said, "I would
not live in your city for any con
sideration." I inquired the cause
of his aversion. He replied: "The
place is too noisy for me. I live where I have all the benefits of a
city and I have some rest and op
portunity for study. Here your
city is all the time distracted by
the uproar of conventions, celebrations and legislatures. You are too noisy for me ; I prefer my quieter home where I can work, read and study. I can get more out of life there that ia good for manhood than I can here." This is a strong argument for Bloomington as a
college, town, over cities of greater
commercial importance.
Benj. McGee has closed a con
tract with a firm of builders ia this
place to extend bis clothing establishment on the south side, back to
the alley. The front half will be
devoted to clothing, and the rear
portion will be raised and will be used to exhibit piece goods, and- to
accommodate the cutting board and
the workmen who stay in the store.
Mr. McGee's growing business demands something of this kind, and he is the man to do this whenever it is demanded.
-Prof. Boisen and family etart-

James Smith is making prep
arations to build two lime kilns,
od bis farm, two miles southeast of
Bloomington. The stone on his
land is a variety of blue limestone, which makes the choicest' of Hole.
The Progress hopes that Mr. Smith
will make a success of the lime business. After reading your paper put it in a wrapper and send to some of your western friends. It will be better than a letter, and will cost you but a cent. Some of the visitors to the Louisville Exposition say "beware of the eating stands north of the Exposition." They "down" you systematically j coffee 25o., beefsteak f 1, etc Or a 15c. dinner for seventy-five cents. Benj. McGee has surrendered his lease of the corner room, and the immense stock he bought to place in it, he is now receiving at the old stand. He bought more goods than if he had intended to
occupy bis present room, and so
has mora than he can conveniently stow iu it. Now he must sell them
to get room to turn around, aud be
will sell so low down that every one will be aaia;?d to hear prices.
Felt like frost, Saturday morning. -rThe postal notes are a decided hit. They sell rapidly. The grand jury is here, but

The Indianapolis Review is
generous enough to admit that Bloomington is not an obscure
town that it is well known and
this gives the Prvgrta an oppor
tunity to predict that in twenty years Bloomington will have' four
railroads and a population of 10,-
000 souls. The litvieto says
The State Unlyertity Is comparatively
unknown, bat to attribute this to the fact
of its location at Eloomlneton, is the

tbe cause? of education. When vacation
oomes, the Bloomington professors go to Xarope, to the watering places near the Xastem Cities, or off into the mountains. It is different with the professors at Green -castle, Wabash, Ana Arbor, or the faculty of any other thrifty educational in
