Bloomington Progress, Volume 18, Number 22, Bloomington, Monroe County, 30 July 1884 — Page 3
The advice given from week
to week by the Progress 13 being
heeded, as toe crowds ot customers
that throng Hemp Wilson's Provision Store would indicate. The
store is conveniently located in
"Progress Block," corner of 6th street sad College Avenue, and special efforts are directed toward
keeping the choicest coffees, teas,
sugars, and other like supplies. The stock of Glassware and -Queens-
ware is well selected and is sold at a small profit. The best butter
can always be procured at Wilson's,
as some of the best butter makers in the county trade with him.
Try his "Webster" cigar.
"It cannot be excelled," is the verdict of every one who goes to McGea's fashionable emporium for
clothing. Ben McGee has been in
Bloomington a life-time and he
never cut or made a suit or gar
ment for a man wbo did not pat
ronixe him again. He is one of
the most artistic and painstaking cutters in the State, and understand-
ue all the details, he sees that
suits are made on properly. Leave
your measure.
Dull though it may be with the average dealer at this season of the
year, Charley Moblev does a good
business all the year round.. He
has served a lifetime apprenticeship at the business,- and is not a "Spring and Fall" Merchant only. He understands the requirements of all seasons of the year, and so
has a generous and satisfactory trade at the season of the year when
some men are doing comparatively nothing. If yon want to see a well assorted stock of goods, suited
to both sexes, and to town and country trade, go to the "Golden Rule." Tsou all the surrounding 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, ana tarns out some splendid work. The famous five cent counter attracts ereat crowds when the weath
er is warm enough to spread the
goods out doors. JNo Store in Indiana carries a better stock of fine jewelry, silverware, watches and Vow the Ice Cream season has opened and if you want the choicest lee Cream, made of tho richest cream and purest sugar, yon should go to Benckart.

The bankers that failed in In
dianapolis had over $2,000,000 in deposits, which money is now locked up indefinite
ly perhaps entirely lost. Now suppose
those depositors had bought some of the
choice lots wo offer for sale in Blooming-
ton don't you know that the failure of
the banks would have had no effect on
them? Of course you do. There is no investment that is as surely and as positively safe as real estate it can't be stol
en, and it can't be absorhed by a rascally
private banker. If you aro.wise you will
call on us at once, and we will give you a security that will pay you a big interest,
and that cannot be stolen. Come and see
us it won't cost you a cent to inv esti gate
and you are not compelled to bay.

Henry Hewson, who has built
up an enviable reputation as a boot
maker, is better prepared than ever to meet the requirements of his
customers. He has a choice stock of first-class ready-made boots and
shoes for all ages and sexes, and sells at a dose margin.
The Orchard House improves
with age. There is no quieter hotel in the town. The dining-room
is kept scrupulously clean, the table is well served, and the appoint
ments equal to those of any hotel
in Southern Indiana.
When You Loan Money,
it is seldom you can collect the in
terest, let alone the principal, when due. Better invest your money in the three nice building lots we can sell you, and build cheap houses
which will rent for a big interest
on your investment.
KOGEB8 & WOOLLET. Cedar Lake is becoming one
of the most popular resorts in the
country with those wbo delight in fishing and in the comforts of a
good table, a well kept hotel and
the accommodations that can be
given by a thorough landlord. The best and most home-like house
on Cedar Lake is that presided over by Charles Sigler, and known as the Sigler House. To reach the house you g to Paisley Station, ou the "Monon,-" and when you get
inside the "SiglerV walls you are
fixed. Good rooms, first-class table, good boating, splendid fishing, a jolly landlord, attentive servants all that is needed to make you comfortable and happy, are to be
found 'there. Remember to go to Paisley Station, and ask for the
Sigler House.
Dump a few buckets of lime
into slop holes, sprinkle some in the gutters and under the houses ; it will do a power of good in the
way of destroying foul miasma.
The reports generally from
along the lines of the railroads are that the crops are the best that have ever been seen, and good crops mean good business for the railroads. Good business means in
creased profits.

Wm. C. Borland delivered on
the cars in this place, Tuesday of
last week, thirty head of fat steers of his own feeding, that averaged
over 1,400 lbs. They were sold to
Carmichael & Woodard, and go to
fill up a contract that firm has with
Cincinnati parties.
The clothing house of C. P. Tourner, has made an assignment to Dr. John Tourner. Mortgages had been previously given to C. P. Tourner's mother, and to Marks & Co. of Cincinnati, for about $6,000. The liabilities are said to bo $11,000, with but $4,600 of assets. Dr. Elder, secretary of the state board of health, has issued another circular to local health officers, urging a rigid enforcement of the order of July 2, for preventing the spread of cholera. Railway officials are also asked to give special attention to the sanitary condition of their passenger trains. Some grain dealers are already fearing the wheat crop may be larger than we need that is too large to keep up prices. If there is too much, wheat, there must be too many raising it ; no doubt there are enough in the business to meet all demands. The general tendency of all the recent Democratic platforms is towards turning operatives in factories into farmers. Cut down the factories, break up their owners and transfer the industries to the old countries is the spirit of all free-trade resolutions.

about that, is there ?
Business is distressingly quiet, items of local interest are scarce, and farmers are exhibiting their! good sense by taking care of their

the Democrats expended a consider

ally, that do this silly business
fireworks, street parades, brass
bands, &c. and then have a terrible struggle to raise enough two dollar bills to "influence" Democrats to vote the Republican ticket, when election day arrives.

Odd Fellows. A correspondent of the Progress writes : I remember reading, when I was a boy, in the early prjt of Jackson's administration, in an old book owned by my father, an account ot a time when there was but one man on this whole Mundane Sphere, and that man was an Odd Fellow. If that book was true, and I believe every word of it, that man
was a singular sort ot genus noma:
he never wore any underclothing,
or any other clothing, either, for a long time. He lived all alone in a sort of "truck-patch," feeding on rain, cabbage, parsnips, potatoes and other esculents, while right around him roamed every species of animal from a toad to an elephant, and from a lizard to a cam-
eleopard.
In a short time this man discov
ered that he alone, of all animals,
was matchless that he was an Odd Fellow.
One morning he awoke a little
late, having slept too soundly after a heavy supper of raw cabbage, and
to his surprise saw his mate mash
ing parsnips tor breaktast. one,
like himself, was a little scant in
her wardrobe, wearing only bangs.
j. be strangest part ot the whole story is, this couple lived a long time without being married, and nobody talked about them; and during all that time she was not known to ask the man for a new bonnet.
Although the woman was odd from all other women, in not being
particular about her dress, like all
other women, she Was possessed of!
an excellent appetite, and kept a sharp lookout for something to eat; and true to her instincts was alMl .a
ways nuning or inventing some
new dish (if they had any difches) and would persist in pursuading
the man to sample ; and he, good
natured as Udd f ellows generally
are, to escape curtain lectures, gen
erally complied.
Such freaks as this led to the or

Willis Spencer, known to every citizen of Monroe county, died on Friday last, and was buried in the Dunn graveyard. He was in his 85ih year, Mr. Samuel Gordon, who has lived in Monroe county fifty-two
years, and is known to almost ail
the voters, announces as a candidate for Joint Representative at the November election. Mr. Gordon was a Republican when to be one was to be called an Abolitionist, and be shunned and hated as one. You wouldn't suspect Mr. Gordon of being a railroad man, but it is intimated that he was one of the most true and trusted conductors the Underground Railroad had, away back in the '50's and '60's. The Democratic ratification meeting, Saturday, advertised to be a big thing, was a stunner, sure enough. Only the usual Saturday crowd was in town, and at about 2 o'clock a wagon containing John
East, a flag, an organ, and a half doeeu young girls and boys, was driven around the square eight or ten times. This "immense outpouring" of the people finally got into
the court room, where Messrs.East , Rogers, Corr, Noblet and Millen said something. At night the selfsame wagon passed around the public square "a whole lot more of times," aud stopped in front of the Democratic headqtiarters,Bowman'8
j drug store. Here Fulk, East, El
orderly, meeting was held by the Blaine & Logan Club, which was
addressed by Major Ferguson, of
Morgan county. The Major is an easy talker, and held his audience, notwithstanding the noise outside. At the close of his speech, Hon. W. F.jBrowniug delivered an impassioned exhortation to the brethren, and the Club adjourned to meet in the grand jury room on Satur
day night a week. The music of

There are several others who are intending to come, and before the close of the week the number is certain to be raised to 45 or 50 as mauy as in previous years for the beginning of the term. John C.

It may be interesting to par
ties who are not informed in the
matter, to know how it occurred
that both Republicans and Demo
crats endeavored to hold meetings
at the same time here, on Saturday night. Two weeks ago last Saturday night a Blaine & Logan Club was organized, and after an enthusiastic meeting, adjourned to meet at the court house two weeks from that night, which was publicly an
nounced, with the further statement
that the executive committee would procure a speaker from a distance to address the public on that occasion. This was published in the papers, so that no one could claim to be in ignorance of the Republi
can meeting to be held on the night of July 26th (laBt Saturday). After this announcement was made,
the Democrats announced that they would hold a ratification meeting, July 25th, at 1 o'clock p.m. In this announcement nothing was
said of a meeting at night, nor was
fireworks once mentioned. But
when the Republicans began their
meeting in the court house, there
was begun the disgraceful conduct
out of doors, which was so disgusting to all who beard or saw it. Jas. B. Allison returned from the west last week, and like others who have recently made trips is enthusiastic over the country. He went to Pierre, Dacotah, remaining six days, during which he bought 320 acres of land, six miles from the town. Pierre is four years old, is a larger town than Bloomington, and has first-class buildings, among which are six large hotels, some eontainitg 200 rooms. Here are to be seen all the evidences of thrift that are found in eastern cities. Adam Geiger owns a farm worth $4,000, a short distance from the town, and is prosperous. The grandfather of Thomas A. Hendricks, in the early part of the century, kept a oraall tavern half a mile from what is now called Pownal Center, Vt. This good old gentleman never dreamed that a gan dson of his would run twice for Vice President cf the Uuited States, and be beaten both times.
