Thk advice given from week; to week by the Progress is being heeded, as the crowds of customers that throng Hemp Wilson's Provisiom Store wonld indicate. The ton is conveniently located in "Progress Block," corner of 6th street and College Avenue, and ' apodal efforts are directed toward reaping the choicest conges, teas, gars, and other like supplies. :e stock of Glassware and Queensre ia well selected and is sold at a small profit. The best batter can always be procured at Wilson's, aa some of the best batter makers ia the county trade with him. Try his "Webster" cigar. "It canhot be excelled," is tht verdict of every one who goes to McGce's fashionable emperiam for clothing. Ben McGee baa been in

These, the ladies declare, can be bought more cheaply at Mobley's than at any other store. m aw Fan all the sarroanding counties the people flock to Bloomington 'to examine Tobe Smith's wonderful display of beautiful goods. His store is a sort of museum, in
which every article ever heard of is kept. He is a skillful watchmaker, and tarns oat some splendid work. The famous five cent counter attracts great crowds when the weather is warm enough to spread the goods out doors.

son, Cyrus. Mrs. Hooper is a daughter of Mrs. Robertson.
Col. Jno. S. Day was nomin
ated by the Democrats . of Floyd

an election Washington county alone can fix Day.

Decoration Day was all that
could be desired, in the matter of
weather, and while the air was
somewhat crisp, the sun shone with
a warm glow that invited all our citizens out doors. At 9 o'clock the procession, consisting of members of the G. A. R. of Blooming
ton and of Unionvile, formed south of the court bouse, and followed by a large number of citizens on foot and in vehicles, inarched to the cemeteries west of town. Arriving
at the city cemetery, the following
order of exercises was observed : Song, My Country Tie of Thee, by G.A.R.
rrayer oy vnnpiain v. n. .lones. Song, Cover Them Over With Flower. Reading the Koll of Honor, H. J. Feltns. Address to G. A. R., by Post Com. Mulky. Song, Tenting Tp-Night, by G. A. B. Oration, by Rev. J. A. Bower.
Song, Sleop. Comrades, Sleep, by G. A. It
-mng Mamte to tne uead, by . A. it Decoration of the Soldiers' Graves.
The demonstration of the peo
ple, last Friday, in Bloomington,
and all over the land, shows that after twenty-one years the soldier spirit which sent men to the front and saved the Union has not died
out. The survivors of the war are
proud of their military career, and they will never forget it nor will
they let the Nation forget, even if
it wanted to. The living shall be remembered as well as the dead.
Throughout the country this last
memorial day was marked by more . . . ..
impressive ceremonies tnan any
previous one. The next time will be more impressive still.
The Convention to nominate a
Democratic candidate for .Representative was held in Unionville, on Wednesday last, and although the buck horse, Mien, was not
nominated, as the Progress predict
ed, a "black horse" was nominated
all the same, and bis name if W.
W. Browning, of Nashville, Brown
county. The Progress has been told by Democrats who were on the ground, that Brown county
men openly declared that Worrell
could not receive the nomination at their hands. They had been
warm friends of Cooper, in the congressional convention, Mr. Browning having seconded Cooper's nom
ination in a ringing speech, and they charged that Worrell had
made himself "too numerous" in Maison's interest. However this may be, certain it Is that Worrell
was defeated, after forty-fourth ballots had indicated his strength, and a majority of the Monroe county delegates had voted for him each time. -. The delegates at times voting for Fulk, Miers and rValdea. Finally, preceding the
44th ballot, R. W. Miers, in a hap
py speech nominated John Graham
The vote tbeu being called, Aquilla
W. Rogers east the 11 votes of
Perry tp. for Browning, and sev
enteen being necessary to a choice,
Brown county, as usual east her 16 a a
votes tor iirowniog, and He was nominated. As it now stands,
Brown county has both Senator and Representative. 80 much at tacking Brown on Mourae when the Democrat re-districted the State.
Republican Central Commit' tee.
A full attendance of the member! of
this committee is desired at the meeting in the Grand Jury room on Saturday, June 7th, 1884, at 1 o'clock P. M., to transact important business. Wa.T. BnowNiNa, Chairman. Jos. G. McPiigbtbkb, Secretary.
Judge Eli K. Millen has been presiding over the Lawrence circuit court during the past week. Mr. Millen is an excellent lawyer, and there is no more dignified or gentlemanly attorney in the county of Monroe. Commencement is approaching, and the people who are going to need nice sweet bread, cakes of the purest materials, and the beat ice cream made, will go to Geo. Benckart, the confectioner, and make their contracts at once. He will have a rush, but he is compe
tent to get away with a good deal
of work. Hereafter the L. N. A. & C.
R'y will sell 1,000 Mile Book Tickets at $25, good between all
stations. These mileage tickets
when issued to a bead of a family may be used by any member of the family, either separately or togeth
er, and when issued to a business
firm, by any member or representative thereof traveling at its exme e
pense. .tickets on sale ana good

If you have a pet bunion that
needs looking after, it will be to
your advantage to nave Henry
Hewson take, your measure for a pair of boots he can construct
boots in such a manner as to avoid pressure 00 tender spots, and every
one knows how miserable a bad
fitting pair of boots make the wear
er feel. See his advertisement.
A committee from the city
council should be appointed with
the special duty of showing to strangers who may visit Bloomington during Commencement week, those ornamental chicken coops, handsome lumber piles, old horse blocks, and other ornaments that lay scattered along the iron fence of the court house yard, on the
west side. By reference to an advertisement in to-day's paper it will be seen that L. S. Field & Co. have determined to sell only for cash after July 1st. This determination will be strictly adhered to. Cash is the only legitimate way of doing business, and sooner or later all must come to this basis. It certainly seems unfair to ask a merchant to credit you six or twelve months when he ' cannot get credit longer than four months, and with many the average ia but sixty
days. $uce Worrell was slaughtered by Brown countyites because he was suspected of sympathy with
Congressman Matson, that individual would be doing but a simple act of justice were he to secure
a fat position at Washington, (or a
pension as a disabled Democrat
wouldn't be a bad thing) tor Cal. T,he Democratic Judicial Convention will meet in Mitchell, today (Tuesday). But two candi
dates are mentioned for Prosecu
ting Attorney Newton, Crooke of
Bedford, Lawrence county, and James Brennan of Shoals, Martin
co. .Hen tier will be common am
usement for Joe Henley. On Thursday night last,
Lizzie Lanman, a well-known and
popular young lady of this city, was united in marriage to Jno. C.
Dolao, Business Manager of the
American Hoop Dressing Co. of
this place. The ceremony was per
formed by Rev. Father Logan of
the Catbolio Church. The young
couple took the midnight train for Chicago. Wm. F. Browning returned from Philadelphia on Thursday last. He expresses himself as highly pleased with Philadelphia and its grand surroundings. There is certainty no finer city in the Un
ion,
Dr. Moss delivered the Baccalaureate sermon in Perdue University, on Sunday last. The strawberry supper given by the ladies of the M. E. Church made them $45 richer. The persons injured by the Ellettsville dynamite explosion are all rapidly convalescing. R. W. Miers was oratot, on Friday, at the decoration ceremonies in Nashville, Brown county. The Courier man is very much elated over the fact that Riley Smith has located in his ward. On the 2d Sunday of June, Eld. Treat will hold a basket meeting at Maple Grove, this county. Eighty-two tickets were sold for the Houghton excursion, which left Bloomington on Saturday morning. Chas. Tourner hurried off to Cincinnati last week, and returned with an immense stock of Commencement clothing and furnishing goods. Miss Mary Daily of Kankakee,
Ills., and Mr. Thos. J. Dolan of
Chicago were in Bloomington last week, in attendance upon the Dol-
an-Lanman wedding.
Tour Commencement suit
ought to come from Benj. McGee's
emporium of fashion, south side of
the square. A suit that will fit, can be gotten of McGee. The National Greenback Convention concluded its labors in Indianapolis, on Thursday night last, by the "nomination of Ben Butler for President, and Genera) A. M. West of Mississippi,Vioe President. James Millen, of Indianola, Iowa, eldest son of Wm. Millen of this place, is visiting his parents. He left Bloomington in 1856, and ia engaged in farming and stock raising, Miss Robertson of Terre Haute was delivering her book, (Blaine's 20 years) last week. She is a success in the book business the man that attempts to go back on his contract with ber is mistaken in the individual if he thinks he can do it easily. One' of tfie most pleasing and largely attended performances of the year was the G, A. R, enter
tainment at Mendelssohn' Hall, Thursday night. It was superior to most entertainments gotten up at
home, and elicited frequent applause.
On Friday last an exciting
game of base ball was played by
employes of Showers Bros, bedstead factory, between a picked
nine of colored men and an equal number of whites. The game was
called promptly at 1 p. m. and
th6 "colored nine" went in to win,
their score being 20 to the whites 8. Prof, Gray of Louisville was the impartial umpire.
The Trustees of the City
Schools, at their meeting on Thurs

-The Alumni have decided to
have tbe Alumni Supper on Tuesday evening, June 10, instead of on tbe evening of Commencement
Day, as before. Since tbey will
not have the Museum this year for promenading and waiting, both the
Alumni Address aud Supper have
been Bet for the same evening. Tbe address will be delivered in the M. E. Church, by Hon. J. .
Mellette, of Newcastle, after which
there will be a banquet, and a
good social time in college chapel.
The Junior Contest in oratory,
a new feature of tbe college year,
occurred last Friday night, . May
31. Two prises, $50 and $25 had been advertised, and the reputation of the -class orators, and the inter
est of their friends attracted a considerable audience. The contestants were Messrs. Dunlap, Wiley, Rucker, Carr, Hoffman, Filch, Ewing, Griffith and Mason. Some of tbe speeches, the audience distinctly remembers, were 20 minutes long, and with nine of them to hear; the eloquence lasted till nearly midnight, and iu some parts was a little tedious. The judges were Messrs. Earsell, Jno. W. Buskirk, D. O. Stewart, A. B. Philputt, aud Dr. J. D. Maxwell, jr. The first
prise was awarded to Mr. E. - E. Fitch, the 2d to Mr. M. M. Dunlap. These prize men got the net , door money in the proportion of 1 two to one. The contest also awarded the position of class orator at tbe class day exercise of their commencement a year from now tu the successful man, Mr. Fitch. The decision, as far as we can hear is as satisfactory aa any would have been, John B. Carson, vice president and ex-general manager Of the Hannibal ds 8t Joe reed, was on Satuaday appelated eenaral manager of tbe Louisville,
New Albany He Chicago rofd, including of course the Indianapolis Air Line Division. Mr. Carson assumed his new duties on Monday. July 1st President Kosevelt, of tbe L. K. A. J C , retires, to be succeeded by Mr. Carson.

The High School graduating
exercises next Monday will occupy
most of the day. There will be two distinct classes graduated, the two-year Prep, students who
will be given a certificate of admission to the Freshman Class, and
the regular High . School Class, who have taken a three years
course, and to whom will be given
the first regular diplomas ever given to high school pupils in Bloom
ington. This Senior class of six
will occupy the first part of the morning, beginning at half past eight, and their separate exercises promises to add unusual interest to this occasion. The class salutatory
will be delivered by Mr. Henry
Nuckles, the Valedictory by Miss
Minnie Faris. This performance deserves from the citizens as large
au audience as the chapel ever held. The 2d year Preparatory class as well as the other, ia regarded as an unusually good class; oa account of the good school work done
since the Christmas holidays, both
classes have been excused from
their final examinations. After the Seniors have finished, the 2d ' year
class will begin their exercises,
which will correspond to the usual Preparatory Commencement, and
will be as interesting as ever,
which is saying considerable. Both
classes number thirty-nine, the lar
gest number graduated since 1878.
Misses Maud Vanzandt and Mag'
gie Porch will give the Salutatory
and Valedictory of their class.
Since the morning exercise does
not begin till 8:30 it is fair to ex
pect that the audience will be Seat ed at that time.
The receipts of the G. A; R. entertainment, Thursday night last,
were 180 90. Monroe county has
275 soldiers on the roll of honor, and there is no good reason why we should not erect a monument
to them, in the court house park
of Bloomington. It is unfair to expect our people to raise large
sums of money to be invested in
monument at Indianapolis, so that
when one of the donors desires to
see it he must pay out five or ten
dollars in railroad fare and hotel
bills. Let charity demonstrate it
self at home, in this instance, at
least. Miss fiirdie Baker has return
ed to Noblesville with Miss Harri.ij and Will spend the summer in
that town and in Indianapolis.
