He has almost a wagon - load of

ato Factories.
Several letters of inquiry have been received, during the past
week, from parties in various portions of Indiana, who have learned that the McCaila furniture factory is for sale, and desire a location and an investment. The factory itself so far as equipment and location are concerned, is excelled nowhere. The machinery is firstclass in all respects, and the building is within twenty yards of the railroad, with a switch leading to it. A never-failing supply of water is one of its recommenda
tions, and ample grounds for storan v
age. Monroe county is ceieoratea
for its inexhaustible timber supply,
including all the best hard woods,
the cost of which is less here than
at any other point in the State. It is only a matter of surprise that
some companv of capitalists has
not, ere this, bought the McCaila
factory. During the past season,
the planing and lumber dressing
machinery has been kept running
every day, and there was always work ahead. The coming season will be equally as prosperous, and
in that particular alone, the
investment will pay the purchaser
largely-. But the experience of
others has demonstrated tbat the manufacture of one article pays better than the manufacture of three
or more. Hence it is believed that large profits would accrue to any individual or firm that will take
hold of the factory and intelligently and energetical y proceed with the manufacture of a single article. The railroad company is inclined to do the fair thing by the manufacturing shipper, and as we are on a dhect line to the great markets of the south and of the northwest, no difficulty has ever been experienced by our manufacturers in disposing of their wares. Already we have tire of the largest and most complete factories io the country located here: Showers Bros. Bedstead Factory; Dodds, Waldron & Co.'t. Chair Factory, The liyors Spoke
and Hub Factory, Bollcubnchcr's
Spoke Factory and the Boston
Hoop Dressing Factory. These in addition to the McCaila Furniture Factory and Planing Mill. The greater the number of factories,
of course, the better freight rates
they can secure, because their business is so large that the railroad
company is justified in giving them
special rates. Persons having friends whom they believe may desire a paying investment of this
character would be conferring a
favor upon them, doubtless, by
sending a copy of this paper to
them, that their attention may be
drawn to this opportunity to go in
to a safe and profitable business in one of the best towns in Southern
Indiana.

We have had from three to five kinds of weather each day, during
the past two weeks. -Work will soon be begun on
the new Christian Church building. H. J. Nichols, the veteran builder,
has secured the contract. Swing, of Chicago, brought a blizzard with him and lectured in it. The night was surpassingly bad, but the audience was good. Garrison's brick aud tile ma
chine arrived in Bloomington last
week. It is said to be capable of
good work, which is also performed
with rapidity.
Joe Allen has a young Republican at his house. Geo. Bollenbacher, jr. has a young Democrat at his residence. Neither party has accomplished much except in an increased vote. I. O. Sutphin is ouj; of luck. Early in January, in jumping from a wagon he dislocated his right knee
joint, and is now just able to hob
ble about on crutches. The factories of this place are making daily shipments of chairs
and bedsteads. ' The demand seems to be increasing, the prospect for a heavy trade this spring being quite
promising.

Frank Sharp has withdrawn
his application for license. Just what a saloon keeper wants with a license in a temperance town like
Bloomington, it is difficult to understand. Hiram Lindley, the Druggist, bought an immense fire proof safe last week, and it was moved into the store on Friday. The old safe was purchased by J. S. Fan's & Co. and was taken to their drug store.

The wife of Prof. Marquis,
ot Greencastle, made some taffy
for ber children, one day recently,
and while breaking it up, was struck in the left eye by a flying
particle. Inflammation set in, and in three days she was unable to see with that organ. An Indianapolis occulist was then consulted, who
upon examination decided that the
sight is entirely destroyed.
The literary exercises in Col
lege Chapel, last Friday eve, Feb.
22d, in celebration of Washington's
birthday, were of unusual merit
-ine audience was lajr, tne music
good and the speeches very creditable. Some points of the evening
appeared conspicuous t
1. The care, thought and
healthy tone of the speeches. The
Speakers were, Messrs. D. C. Stew
art, S. E. Meek, Philmer Day and
M. L, Hoffman.
2. The absence of Hesperian,
who has consented to die.
8. The absenee as usual, of the
Faculty, except Drs. Wylie and
Jordan,
4. The seeming care with which
the speakers avoided all reference to George Washington, in whose name they were met, and whose
fame they were elected to celebrate,
In a sentence or two Mr. Stewart
incidentally referred to the Father
of his country, on the subject of
"Aryan Politics." Mr. Meek dis

The friends of Wilson Adams have solicited him to become a candidate before the Republican con
vention for the office of Trustee of

tee two terms, and administered the
affairs of the office with a degree of
discretion and ability that gives
him a boom from his friends, who insist that he shall do so again. Wils. Adams never gets left and if he is nominated, it is superflu
ous to hold an election, so far as he
is concerned.
Tlicta and Kappas.
A Novet, Social event in College Circles. Among the
Girls: No Boys need apply, TILL AFTER Supper. The latest and best in the way of society happenings was the afternoon " Lunch Party," (with the proportions of a banquet) giten by the Kappa Alpha Theta, ladies fraternity, to their friends, the
Kappa Kappa Gamma,Friday,Feb. 22, at the residence of. Mr. James Howe, S. College Ave. The girls, with rare seuse, instead of hating of each other, and showing a disposition to scratch each other's eyes
as in the "goodmoid tiavs oi
yore," have learned to live in harmony and good will. They have smoked the pipe of peace, aud
on Washington's Birthday buried
the hatchet beyond resurrection. The invitation of the Thetas is not
the promise of a future friendly spirit, but rather the result of that
which has existed for a long time. The hostesses numbered over" 30, the guests nearly an equal number, and such feminine exuberance, gay-
etytand good spirit, so much sweet
ness wasting upon the desert air
(no boys were allowed); are seldom assembled at one time and place. The decorations consisted of a monogram combining in gold and blue
the letters of each fraternity, and two or three French mottoes, as, "Viva La Kappa, Kappa Gamma," placed over the Key, and one meaning "With Open Arms," placed over the A7te. From 2 o'clock till four, a good social time was the order, with an intermingling of Kappas and The
tas. At four o'clock the girls were invited out to "Lunch," which consisted of everything imaginable from meats and coffees to fruits and creams. During the last course came the toasts. Miss
Alice Springer, with natural grace,
acted as toast mistress, and first proposed a toast to "The Greek
Fraternities," to which Miss Kat
Milner, Theta, responded with a
short original poem. Miss Spriug
er then toasted "Kappa Kappa
Gamma," in u few very appropriate word, to which Miss Prudence Arnott, on the part of the Kappas, responded in a very pleasing manner. Miss Kate Uiiltt, of the
Kappas, then proposed a toast to j the Kappa Alpha Thvta respond
ed to by Miss Grace Woodburn. After supper, all repairing to the parlor, the Thetas sang to the Kappas a song of greeting, composed by Miss Lida Griffith; this was followed by a poem from Miss Ole Willson, which was much enjoyed by all ; and so ended, the girls say, an afternoon which it will be a delight to remember hereafter. No boys were allowed more than a second-hand .peep at this social kaleidoscope. After it was all over some of them were admitted, to go with the girls to the evening literary performance at the College Chapel, an old privilege, but like good wine, no worse for age. Some persons go to our college literary performances "to see who was there," as well as to hear. These curious people existed for a tew minutes in a perfect ecstacy of delight in watching forty girls with their forty beaux come in all at once. They were overwhelmed by such an array of youth and beauty. It has been a long time since our city has bad, if it ever had, a more sensible, tasteful, healthful and enjoyable social gathering than was this hearty entertainment of one rival fraternity by the other. In view of it, the word "rival" loses all of its evil significance. Aud Kappa entertains for Theta, and Theta for Kappa a wonderful amount of good will. And so, for both, does One of the Boys.
