It is commonly asserted and be-
' lieved, in fact generally known
that liquor is constantly and openly
' sold in oar city in flagrant viola
tion of law. All citizens know that it is a curse to the community.
Opposed to all that is good,' it de
files oar streets, increases oar taxes, 'corrupts oor morals and ruins oar
' youth. An old Persian proverb
declares woe unto tbat people where
"the young have already acquired the vices of age, and the aged retain the follies of youth." Shall we lead oor youth to such vices,
and retain this folly and crime of
other days? It is for our Christian people, and oor solid business men, the men who have money and interests here, and who have mad the town what it is, to say. If they say the drink business mast go, it will go. No doubt persons will notice that we have omitted many things .Worthy of mention We have space barely to name several MISCELLANEOUS njPBOYKlfEJgTS, or acquisitions, within this short period. The First National Sank was established in Tl. It has a capital stock ot f 120,000, a surplus
fund, at present, of 121,000. The condition of its stock is a sufficient comment on its management. The CShf Building, just being completed, at a cost of 13,000, is jp'Treditable to thexity management. rt m yn i t . . .

IO THE AMOUNT

An item in the Indianapolis
Journal of last Saturday, in speak
. log of the improvements in Attis, during the last year, tells us thai
- "evidently Artrca's boom is on.
It sets forth, in a large degree of
astonishment, that the improve meats in Attica during 1883aggregate $67,000. We can cover that ti,t&m& have $30,000 to spare; And the wonder is that, as sure as
future event can be, we are going
5 lodolhe same m 1884. 't ' In all that we have said in this
retrospect, or prospect, we have
tried to avoid exaggeration. We
ay believe conscientiously that we've
been truthful, and if we are in
fruit, it n rather because all has not
een told. If a stranger should
intake inquiry ne would not find a
qtizen of Bloomington but what
would verify our representations.

it will be Greater
Iff 1884. Per several weeks, at the request
of the Progress, Mr. Alex.Robison, contractor, has been laboring to secure from the various contractors and builders of the town, a state
ment of tbe work done by them during tbe year just closed. How well he has succeeded is indisated by tbe report printed below. There are a number of buildings and extensive improvements omitted in this report, notwithstanding the apparent foot that it is uncom
monly full the . Hoop Factory
building is one instance of omission, and its cost was $1,600. There are others, donbtlesss, that, if secured,
would have swelled the grand to
tal to $100,000 or more, During the season there have been some twenty or thirty first-class farm houses built in the Country, near by, two of which tney be seen from the town, notably the houses
of Sam'l Smith and Thos. Randall.
The improvements now Coatero-', plated, and under contract for next
season, will doubtless swell the fig
ures to $200,000. The new College buildings and the new Christian Church alone, will probably involve an expenditure of $100,000.
So that the outlook was never better in Bloomington than now. The
improvements made during the past year,and at present contemplat
ed, are of the most substantial character such as would reflect credit upon a city of much greater pretensions than ours. And the fact that there is nothing speculative about this movement gives citizens snd new-comers greater confidence, in it no one is building for speculation men are building and improving property for their own use and occupancy, or for others with whom they have closed favorable
Every former in Monroe county as deeply interested in the
growth and prosperity of Bloom
ington as the citizens of the place.
The value of forming land is guag-
ed by the importance and wealth
of the county seat. All intelligent
men will readily see that the val-
of forming land is enhanced by
the fact tbat it is easy of access from town ; and that the larger the
town, tbe greater the number of
mannfoctories, and the larger tbe
number of men employed in them
the greater will be the demand
for the former's produce. There
ought to be no jealousy between
country and town they go together
to build up and sustain each other, and are mutually dependent one
upon the other.
Tbe Progress believes, then,
that every citisen of the county,
without regard to vocation or finan
cial condition, will rejoice with us
in the fact tbat Bloomington is
prospering in a solid, substantial
manner, aud that there is nothing
speculative or unstable in

that Bloomington has reason to feel

for its present prosperity. A. R.

Every intelligent farmer who
has had correspondence with parties ill
other localities with reference to selling his land, is aware tbat the three questions always asked are : "How far is your land

ing tbe past week, disposing of the
real estate belonging to
and brothers. J. M. Ervin last week disposed of his farm, two miles south
of town, (the old C. F; Dodds farm)
to Bart. Armstrong of Lawrence county. There are one hundred and thirty-six acres in the farnt.
and Mr. Armstrong pays seven
thousand dollars; Craig Worley ha3 sdld his half Interest in the livery business and In the building, one door west of the Mayor's office, on the north side of the square, to John H. Colei Mr. Cole paid $2,800. One of the largest add tnd.lt important of the .various manufacturing establishments of Bloomington is the desirably located and thoroughly equip
ped planing mill and furniture factory combined, known as tbe McCalla Fac
tory. This Factory is located about thirty yards from tho railroad, just south of town. It has all manner of first-class machinery, tho building is commodious and substantial, the water supply is inexhaustible, and the location. is extra detirrable. The owner desiraa to engage in other business, and although ha has had all his factory was capable of doing this summer, and at good prices, be will dispose of it at reasonable figures, and on fair terms. Such an opportunity as is here presented, is not often met with.
