AMMOUMOEMENTS.
You could easily be persuaded that Spring is here when you see the new and handsome displays of choice ami rare goods exhibited by Tobe Smith at his immense curiosity store and fircat jewelry emporium. No description that could be written would do justice to that stock it is incomparable. There are so many articles too, that cost an insignificant sum (5 and 10c.) so as to be brought within the reach of all that at) one, however poor is excluded. You ean get the finest gold watches manufactured, firstwater diamonds, and standard silverware at Tobe Smith'm In met von ean buy articles there that are only oocasiooly seen in the largest cities, and the prices at which he sells them is marvellously low. The store is on the south side of the equare. Mobley's Eabxy Spring Stock is now coming in weekly installments, and is carefully selected and very handsome. Among the varied specialties in the new supply is the Embroidery selection, which includes all the late patterns. No dry goods man has kept a - closer watch on the market than Mobley, and he buys when goods are lowest,
thus giving customers an advantage
that it is difficult to secure everywhere. MebleVs store is between
the two hardware stores, on the
south side. Bemember the place,

want to insure your property, call oo. ' East & East.

A. G. Dillman is a candidate for Surveyor, not for Recorder, as tbe types made us say last week. Dillman will be nominated, too. Samuel Wallingford arrived from Sooth Carolina on Monday
night, looking well, and bas done
well in the south this winter. The woods were fired some ten miles north of Bloomiugton, in Washington tp., last week, and a great deal of timber and fencing was destroyed. Jean Adkins has gone to Detroit
to have a conference villi the manager of the Abbot Opera Company.
He will probably, join the Abbot

People who travel the south
pike now see how great a mistake was made In not requiring the
Stewarts to gravel the entire length of the road. The pike where there is no gravel, is cut in gullies, and
the road is as rough as it is possible
ior it to be, while on the portion that is graveled the road could not be smoother or more satisfactory in
every way.
It won't be long now till Re
publicans will know who' the man is they will be required to defeat ; for Congressman of this district. The convention will be held on June first at Gosport, and instead of nominating Jno. W. Buskirk, as they ought to, they will pick up Matson again. Then H. C. Duncan should be nominated by the Republicans, and- he will walk away : with Matson easily. The remarkably low prices of millinery goods and notions, at Mrs. Summers' and Headley's are a marvel. Owing to sickness Mr. Halford of the Indianapolis Journal was not present last Sunday to deliver the monthly temperance lecture. His place was acceptably filled, however, by Eld. Peak, whose address wrs carefully prepared and was well received.

The city conventions resulted
in the selection of Henry Voss, councilman, 1st ward ; Jas. Showers, 2d ward, and Simp. Neilil, 3d
waid. The nominations of Messrs.
Voss and Showers may be said to have been by acclamation, but in the 3d ward there was a lively contest, there being three candidates :
Messrs. Fess, Neild and Hoover.

Harvey Baker, formerly Depu
ty Sheriff and at present Deputy Assessor of Bloomington township, by the earnest
solicitation of many friends from the
northern portion of tbe county, and elsewhere, hafi consented to be a candidate for Recorder of Monroe county. Mr. Baker has been , zealous worker in the rinks of the Republican party since his boyhoodwas one of the first men to volunteer his service at his country's call, and, in one of
the many battles in which his regiment
was engaged was badly wounded itnd taken prisonor. Be was confined in rebel
prison several months, and when released was a physical wreck. Bo is at present a
bad cripplo and unuble to do any manual
labor has never been honored with
a county office, but bas made two canvas-
for township assesor, in the strong
Democratic township of Washington
where they had a majority of 50, and de
feated his opponent by -15 majority. If Harvey ie nominated his old comrades will rally round him to a man, and his election
will be a foregone conclusion.
The city election occurs on
Tuesday next, and in one or two of
the wards an effort will be made to run in an independent candidate. This must not be. Watch the
tricksters.

In the show window of Cole's
book store, Mrs. Mo! lie Booth has on exhibition several very meritorious landscape pieces in oil. They are coast scenes in Norway, and in point of coloring and attention to

-Candidates for State offices are
gradually coming to the surfacei
and marked copies of papers containing laudatory notices of these
gentlemen are now received by ev
ery mail. A state office pays the lucky holder enough in one term to
justify him in retiring from busi
ness for some time, and if the aid
of the country paper is of value to
him he should be willing to pay for it. -r-There was an excitement in
coal oil, last Thursday, which in
ured to the benefit of many consum
ers, lae uce nive grocery put down the price of coal oil to 10c.
per gallon, and headlight oil to 12
cents. 1 his cut was met uy other grocers reducing the price of coal oil to 8Jc, then to 6c. as competition grew, and the Bee Hive finally
brought the price down to 4c. per gallon. Four or five barrels were sold at this figure, hundreds of persons availing themselves of the op
portunity to get their cans filled. Late in the evening the grocers
grew tired of this fun, which en
tailed a loss of six or eight cents on
each gallon, and, as they say in
railroad circles, "rates were restor
ed." But it was fun for outsiders
while the excitement lasted. The "Mikado" was presented to a Bloomington audience for the first time, on Friday night last by a company of amateurs, composed of our best musical talent. The audience comprised the best people of the town, and the play and music were highly appreciated by them, although there were none of the boisterous demonstrations of approval given by some audiences. The principal characters were supported by a strong and well balanced chorus of young ladies and gentlemen, many of whom made their first appearance in public on this occasion. Mrs. Henley, as Yum Yum, was musical and cuuning ; her solo, "the moon and I," was oue of the gems' of the evening. Minnie Howe's conception of the character of Katisha was perfect, and she played the part with ; the earnestness and vigor of a pro
fessional actress. The Pooh Bah of
Mr. Mutz was carefully rendered,
and his songs were well sung,
Adkius, as Ko Ko, ruined the but
ton-on many garments iu the audience he ia irresistibly funny, and
his songs are sung in such a manner as to leave nothing desired, un
less It is that they may be repeated.
Dick Maxwell, the tenor, always
favorite with Bloomington audiences
was a Nanki Poo of whom the
Mikado might well ieel proud.
C. P. Tourncr sung the Mikado,
and looked blood-thirsty enough to
boil a dozen men each day iu oil or
melted lead. Mr. MoCoruiick,
Mirts Sanders, Miss Wilson, and in
fact every individual on the pro
gram made an earnest effort to do their best, considering their opportunities, and should be credited ac
cordingly. As a rule too imicn is
expected of amateurs, and if they were to do uniformly well in all their plays, they would do more than the professionals succeed in doing. The performance was repeated on Saturday night, when
another good audieuce filled Meu-
W. J. TURNER has bought out the west side furniture store, and has put iu a new stock of COFFINS AND CASKETS. He also has A FINE NEW HEARSE, the finest in the county. Mr. Turner has had a good deal of experience in the business, and can fit up goods with neatness and dispatch. Persons needing anything in the Undertaking line will do well to call and see Mr. Turner. He also keeps s nice line of all kinds ot Furniture, which he is selling very low. 7-4t
Tbe Bedford Democrat says5 'It is reported that the citizens of Bloomington have sent a proposition to C. P. Huntington offering him $75,000 and the right of way, to run his road (Big Four) through Bloomiugton." The Democrat is trying to scare its town people into a bonus to "C. P. Huntington" evidently, as no one is talking of railroads up this way. We don't need 'em we have pikes. Every week or two a railroad builder comes along and begs the privilege of putting down trails, but he is promptly ordered out of town. The friends of David V. Buskirk, who resides in this county, near Gosport, will be grieved to learn that he is now confined to his bed with a derangement of the heart. It is said that he is very despondent,, and insists that he cannot live. This in itself is a bad feature. Capt. G. K. Perry and wife were in Bedford last week on a visit to the wife of John A. Walker. Mrs. Walker's . health has not been good since she came back to Indiana, and the is anxious to return to Ventura, California. Clay Harbison has gone to Fayettcville, Arkansas, where R. S. Curry resides, and will endeavor to find a location where it will be desirable to remove his family. Da
vid Harbison has been in Fayctte-
ville all winter.
Dave Gooding of Hancock co.,
has beeu nominated by his Democratic admirers for legislator. David is determined to go back to
Indianapolis every two years as long as time lasts.

-Ira J. Chase, a Christian min
ister of Danville and an ex-Union
soldier, is spoken of as a candidate
for Congress in this district on the
Republican ticket. Lawyer Morgan was in Bedford last wsek looking after his
chances as a candidate for district
prosecutor. On the face of the returns in the April election, Indiaua is republican by about 15,000. Decoration Day will be observed on Monday, May 31st, this year, as the 30th lulls ou Sunday. Services were held at the Epis copal church on last Sunday (Easter). Jas. B. Clark Is a Democratic candidate for clerk. Farmers who pride themselves upou their ability to raise fine vege
tables should go to Wicks' Bee
Hive and procure a package of the
pumpkin seed given away by the house, and compete for the prises this Fall. They will pay iu gold,
two prizes, ($10 and 55 each) tor the largest and heaviest pumpkins rained from these seeds. The time for distributing seed is limited to May 10th, so go then, get your
seed, have your name registered,aud
com net e for the prizes. There
a could be no fairer proposition than
this the seed is furDished,you will
be almost sure to raise purapkius anyhow, and you are stimulated to
cive arcater care to cultivation
s w which may pay you handsomely
When Wicks' Bee Hive does any
thing it is doue handsomely.
Kenttickfaus are a queer people. They have family feuds in which two or three generations are shot down as soon as they learn to "draw a bead" on one another ; then they have a high sense of "honah" which impels them to commit murder or be murdered if their neighbors dou't talk to suit them; once in ft while, and not so seldom either, we read of a high-spirited Kentuckiau whose pride is wounded because he has no "feud," so he fills himself full of Robinson county whisky, buckles on his familiar revolver, and proclaims his intention to "kill somebody." The first man who is so unfortunate as tj come within range of his weapon is promptly shot down, and the only excuse offered is that he felt impelled to kill, and this fellow, (now a corpse) had no business to get in his way. The renders of the Progress who also read the Kentucky papers, may have noted several instances of this kind recently. Kentucky is not an inviting field for persons who may desire to emigrate. P. S. Kentucky is a Democratic State. Some twenty years ago the writer was printing a paper in the neighboring county seat, BedfordOur next door neighbor, a book and stationery dealer, was Geo. W. Cook-quiet,thoughtful,unobtrusive, and a young man of excellent morals and nntiring industry. Several years afterwards young Cook drifted into the railroad business in some capacity that required integrity and attention to details, and he
rapidly rose from one position of trust to another till he became general manager of the Denver & Rio Grand railway, at Denver, Colorado. Recently the citizens of that place recognizing bis business tact and purity of character,unanimously nominated and elected him to be Mayor of the city of Denver, a position he will fill with honor, as he has all the others. Over in Columbus during the past week a number of housekeepers have been taken in by a slick peddler, who has been going about the city offering to sell silver spoons at fabulously low figures. Quite a number of ladies were taken in, on account of the cheapness of the article offered, but when they came to closely test their purchases they were chagrined to find that they had bought very ordinary pewter spoons, covered with a thin coating
of silver polish, and that the goods !
could have been bought at any store in the city for about half what they paid for them.
The Republicans of Spencer!
have nominated two former citizens of Monroe county on their town ticket Dr. Allen Pierson for councilman and Eld. Harrison Hight for Treasurer, The business of the town of Spencer will be safe in the hands of these gentlemen. At the M. E. church on Thursday night, Miss Ella Harris,daughrer of Dr. J. E. Harris of this place,
was married to Mr. J.W. Warder of
Louisville. The church was crowded with people, though but about 300 invitations were issued. The ceremony was performed by the Pastor, Rev. Mr.Givler, the young couple being attended by Will. Kennedy, Wm. Adams, Jacob Bollenbaeher, Jno. Cravens, E. W. Warder, W. O. Bailey, and Miss Belle Axtell and Fannie Bollenbacher. The bride wore au elegant dress of cream colored surah silk,
trimmed with oriental lace ; Miss Axtell's dress was of cream colored
canvass cloth, trimmed in oriental lace and white satin iribbon; Miss Bollenbaeber was dressed in white mull with oriental lace. The young couple took the train for Louisville on Friday evening. Among the presents were: Rocker, M. G. Ehhmiin. Silver combination, Johu C. Polan, wife and boy. Parasol, Bee Hive store. Water set of Ave nieces, the usher. Messrs Kennedy,
