You know, or ought to know,
how important it is that the seed corn you plant is reliable. Reli-
ble seed corn, corn that will come
up surely, is cheaper at flO per
bushel, than corn that compels replanting. Dunn & Co. have made
a special effort to secure this kind
of corn, and now offer it to the corn raisers of the county. Before you take any chances on corn, go
down to Dunn & Co.'aand examine the corn they have on sale. The
germ is sound and the variety very
rich and pure.

Samuel Bray, Nichols' foreman, was married on Thursday night to Miss Laura, daughter of James 'Pauley, near Cross Roads, west of Bloomington. The Bloomington people who went to Bedford to play the "Drunkard," Friday evening, were greeted with a rousing house. All
the characters were well sustained, and applause was frequent.
The question of "hog or no
hog" will be submitted at the city
election in May. Why not include
the cows that sleep on the pavements, depredate upon the farmers'
wagons, and reach over low fences to destroy shrubbery ?
Since the April election, the
Democratic boases have congregated around the stairways in a dazed kind of way, and looking into each
other's faces, continue to exclaim : "The idea of Injin Creek goin' Re

the story that there are more saloons thai) lamp-posts in Chicago.
But as the National Conventions ... ..M ...

awful spectacle of a Republican and
Democrat leaning against the
same lamp-post.
"We arc standing in our doors
with guns protecting our families," wrote a Bourbon at the time of the riot. This, of course, was intended
to convey the idea that the negroes
were the attacking party, and yet,
strange to say, it was the whites
who formed in line of battle and
the blacks wbo were killed, in Mississippi.
The modern brakeman is not
the gentleman in neat uniform who

The real brakeman is the smoke

top of a freight car, whether it be
covered with ice or not, who is on
ly at the place he calls home long
enough to catch three or four hours' sleep, fill his dinner pail and then
go off for another night. It is
hard position and poorly paid.

Mr. Hopewell, whose farm
lies just a half mile west of town
was in the Progress office Monday, and stated-that he had put in 36
acres of wheat25 acres of this
was planted with bone meal, and
he says he never had a better prospect But the other eleven acres
that were not manured in this way, he says do not look one-quarter as
well. He says it provokes him
every time he looks at the wheat,
that he did not put it all in with
bone manure. A Republican majority of 8,

Miss Morrison and Mrs. Beck. Some big boy dressed in women's attire, is playing ghost, in the southern portion of town.
