Mrs. Smith, contractor for the Poor Farm, has sent her resignation to the county commissioners, to take effect on Monday next. There is no lack of candidates for the place. Among these are: Elmer Smith, Isaac Ward, Ah. Gentry, Harvey Baker, - Wallace, L.M.Shields, Mrs. Joe Green, Richard Gentry, W. C. Black, R. C. McMichaei. Elmer Smith presented. a petition to the commissioners to which he had secured a number of signatures, asking that a committee of three ladies be appointed as a visiting board, and suggesting Mrs. Arnctt, Mrs. Atwater and Miss Strader. The commissioners set down the poor house business for Thursday, (to-morrow) when all matters pertaining to it will be heard. The President's message will cut but a small figure in the politics of the country, and will have but little effect upon the doings of Congress. The President's party in Congress is squarely divided upon the silver question and upon the tariff, and the Republicans care little for his views on any question, so that the time consumed in reuding Grover'd long-winded message had better be expended in an effort to prejiare fuel for the wintry weather that is now howling about your ears and gives promise ot pneumonia and kindred ills.

accept a position in this village. David P. Burton and Dr. Walker from the northern portion of the comity, were in town last Thursday. The pastor of the U.P. church, Rev. 8. R. Lyon, has gone to Mar-
issa, Ills., called to the bedside of
an uncle who is dangerously sick. The season for trad ing is here, and persons about to have deeds, mortgages or abstracts of title prepared, should call on John Martin, at the Recorder's office. Martin has the books at hand to refer to, and he is, a careful, competent man. All work djne promptly and accurately. On Thursday evening of last week Mrs, Caroline Parks of this place was married to Mr. Os, Dealing, of McLean county, Ills. Mr. Deming is one of the wealthy farmers of that portion of Illinois. Capt. Sam. Harrah returned last week from Trinity Springs, where he had been drinking the water for his disease dropsy. In Capt. Harr&h's case the use of this water always gives relief. A stream of water with precisely the same properties, pours forth from a well in the paper mill at Columbus, O.,
on west Main street.
Mrs. Martha Moffet was the recipient of a surprise birthday dinner on Friday last. Her son Charles accompanied her on a visit to a
neighbor's house, and 00 some pretext induced her to return near the hour of twelve, when she was surprised to find that some seventy or eighty of her friends and relations had taken possession of the house and had spread an elegant dinner, to which all did justice. It was her 61st birthday. In the Fairmount (Neb.) Signal we find tbe following complimentary mention of a former wellknown Bloomington boy : This week, J. W. Eller, with his family, removes to Omaha, where he will have a wider field for the tiractice of his profession. Mr. Eler is one of the oldest citizens ol the county and has, erhapa, been more prominently connected with its history than any other man. As a lawyer, be long ago earned the reputation of being a keen, shrewd and energetic attorney, a good judge of law, and a successful practitioner. As district attorney, bis record was! remarkably good ; and as attorney for the deleuse in criminal cases, he has, few superiors. In political matters unsil the past few years, Mr. Eller has been especially prominent. The county cannot well afford to lose him, and his family will be sadly missed from our little social world. We predict for him a marked success as a lawyer in ' Omaha. ! - A new organization called tbe "Civil Service Reform Association," having been recently organized here, a great many persons bavea cariosity to knew what these people ask for, or in what tbey differ from other mortals. One of the members tells all about it in this number of tbe Progtteas, and we are gratified to lay before our readers a lull statement of the Civil- Service Reformers'' theories. Their doctrine as to "spoils" is a very fine oae for people to talk about who are inde
pendent of "spoils" having professions which insure them good fat salaries .for seven or eight months work cadi year. It wilt be observed, also, that the persons who are active in this movement, are, as a rule, men who argued in favor of "free trade1 dating the recent Presidential canvass being salaried men, they could enjoy tbe fruits of tree trade: i.e., starvation prices for all manufactured goods; however much the laborer's wages might he lowered or his employment taken away by foreign competition through free trade.
