Before yon bay anything in the way of clothing go to McGee's awl see the' new job lots recently purchased. They are sold at half their .value. CALL and see the genial Tobe Smith at bis immense curiosity store and great jewelry emporium. No description that could be written would do justice to that stock it is incomparable. There are so ntaayrticles too, that cost an insignificant sum (5 and 10c.) so as to be brought within the reach of all that no one, however poor is excluded. Yon can' get the finest gold watches manufactured, firstwater diamonds, and standard silverware at Tobe Smith's. In fact yon can buy articles there that are only occasiooly seen in the largest cities, and the prices at which be sells them is marvellously low. The store is on the sooth side of the square. , 'The West Sims Grocery" is presided over by James C. fiobinson, formerly a salesman with Haley & Co., and Robinson, in bis room (next to Geo. Atkinson's shoe tore) keeps oite of the choicest stocks of groceries to be found in the town. One of his specialties is Fleischman's Yeast, the only kind worth buying:. In Coffees, sugars, cigars and tobaccos, Robinson acknowieges no superior. He makes it a point to secure the best goods that can be gotten, knowing that his customers will be satisfied when they try them! Call on Jimmy Robinson, when in town.

ders became almost a mass of corruption, and finally the disease commonced eating away my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsive that for three years I absolutely refused to lot people see me. I used large quantities of most noted blood remedies and applied to nearly all physicians near me, but my condition continued to grow' worse, and all said that I must surely die. My bones became the seat of excruciating aches and pains ; my nights were passed in misery; I was reduced in flesh and strength ; my kidneys were terribly deranged, and life became a burden
to me.
I chanced to see an advertisement of B. : B. B. and sent one dollar to W- C. Birchmore & $k., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit, and when eight or ten bottles had been used I ' was pro- j nonnced sound and well. j Hundreds of soars can now bo seen on1 me, looking like a man who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this county, and for the benefit of others who may be similarly af-i fected, I think it my duty to give the facte to the public, and to extend my heart felt thanks foi so valuable a remedy. ! I have been well over twelve months, and : no return of the disease has occurred. i ROBERT WARD, i Maxey's Ga., January, 1886. "Wa, the undersiened, know Mr. Robert Ward, and

Eliza Cooper, of "White Hall, is staying
with aunt "irony Jjivinirston at present,
while her daughter, Eliza, is visiting her
sister at Newberry.
Arnold Acuffhad a fine steer to get hurl so badly that ho had to kill it to relieve
its sufferings. The steer was rubbing its back against a log that was elevated when the log gave way and came down on its buck. Mrs. O. E. Foster, of "White Hall, met with a severe accident while going to Bloomington last week. "While driving too near a ditch by tho side of the road, her buggy overturned, throwing her out and fracturing one of her ribs, besides bruising her up considerably otherwise. There has been a big snake seen several
times here of late, over in tho odire of
Monroe county, near "White Hall. No one guesses tho monster to be less than 14 foot in length, while some guess as high as 18 feet. His abiding placo-is in tho old rock mill dam, on the Matt Morris farm. There will bo a grand reunion of tho 50th Kegc Ind. Vols, at White Hall, on tho 28th of August, 188(5. A meeting has been had and several committees appointed to arrango for the reunion.

Harvest is nearly over, and farmers are rejoicing over their great stacks of yellow grain, and immense ricks of eweet scented bay, awl woll mav thev reioice and cive
thanks, for in tho midst of the depression of a Democratic administration, Providence has come to the rescue with the most abundant harvest this section has
had for a number of years.
People had begun to have fear tbat the
dry weather would injure the corn crop, but the splendid showers of last week greatly elevated their fears on that sub
ject and truly we have occasion to be grat-
inea.
The blackberry industry has surely be
come a lucrative employment, judging from the number of mon.women and children we see daily and hourly passing with well filled buckets. Among the visitors in our village, picking and preparing, we have noticed some of Bloemington's good
citizens,Miss Eva Hull, Mrs. Wm.Breedec,
Miss iaa Jvoons ana others.
We notice tho young folks of our vicin
age are already quite extensively prepar

Joe Green is still at his old stand mak
ing tho farmers happy by doing them good work in all kinds of wagon and
blacksmith work.
And now again Luther Turner comes to town quite frequently. Wonder why ? Mrs. Jacob Riddlo is visiting her father in Ills, and Jake is lonesome. Rev. E. M. Parks is pastor of tho Baptist church at this place, preaching the second Sunday of each month. He has

Nobby suits, neat-fitting and
handsome, are turned out daily by Ben. McGee, the Artist Tailor, at bis emporium of fashion, on the
south side of the public square. A
peculiarity of McGee s suits is that
while they ht snugly to the iorra,
as if moulded, they are perfectly
easy no binding or sensation of drawing. In fact, they have the
peculiarity of all proper-htting
clothes : you are unconscions of the fact that yon have tbem on your person, and so don't feel constrained and uncomfortable as is the case with the clothes cut by many Tailors.
McGee has the best piece goods the market affords and trims with only first-class trimmings, buttons, etc. A spring suit should be ordered now, so that it may take its place early in the list.
James Ryan has for sale at his shop some fine two horse wagons,
only sixty dollars each, spring wagons, buggies, phaetons, &c, all

Perry Township No. 5 Wheat threshing has commenced in earnest, and we hope to bo able to chronicle soma marvelous yields of wheat per acre. By tho way- this reminds your correspondent that John SaTe has bought a new machine, Traction engine and Separator all complete AVoll, the worst thing that any man can say of John is that he is a
Jjemocrat, otherwise he is just as clever as he is pretty, and whan it comes to running a macbino none can beat him, and if you want clean, nice threshing, just call upon John and you'll get it. Wm. Hall met with a painful accident last week. A horse stepped on his foot and sent him off limping the balance of the week. Reports from Kansas and Nebraska are not very encouraging this tall, especially to emigrants headed in that direction. Madam Rumor says a number of the old Monroe boys will get back soon if they can possibly get the means to come on. This does not speak very well for those two States. Maj. Grimes, Capt. Mathers, J. G. MoPheetora and H. F. Dillman left this morning at 5 o'clock for Franklin, Ind, to attend the Congressional convention. They drove through in buggies. We bespeak a good time for this crowd, as it contains the running gears of the old Blaine and Logan Glee Club f two years ago.
we aro giaa to note tne tact that tho

Capt. John Fields was but 16
years old when he enlisted as a soldier in the Mexican war. Judge

Prof. Frank Mulky was married last week in Leaven wortb,Ind., to Miss Cora Scott, and a reception was tendered the yonng people last Saturday night at the residence of Mayor Mulky, the groom's father. A large company was present and the evening was an enjoyable one. Prof. M. has been elected Principal of a Jefferson ville school. Ten years hence the railroad, north of 6th street, will Very much resemble the St.4.uthony river near Minneapolis, by reason of the number of mills and factories built along its entire length for a mile or two. At present we have the Baldridge-Gourley mill, the Col-lins-Kaisell roller process mill, the barrel and stave factory, the bedstead factory, besides the chair factory and the ladder factory in contemplation. Bloomington is bound to boom just as soon as business begins to revive. The Monroe County Teachers' Institnee will be held in Bloomington, in the High School building, beginning August 16th, and closing 20th. A large number of the able educators of the Slate will be present and assist in making the Institute a success.

Most, ot the young gentlemen of the city being at the seashore aud other resorts,spending the summer, it has become very fashionable for the yonng ladies to hire Mr. Worley'a drag and span of grays

Washington, lnd,, has secured

by this streak of luck. Good fortune could not smile upon better
men. Miss Ella Tuley brought with
her on her return from Niagara Falls a photograph of the person who "went down into the water and
came up out of the water" in a bar
rel. It is an entertainiug picture
and a good one. Four thousand
people visited the daring navigator the day Miss Tuley saw him, so it will be seen that he is reaping the reward of his recklessness at ten cents a head. Some of the old citizens who feel interested in the article published last week intended to show how many of the active and leading spirits of the past nineteen years have passed away ,siigesi.tli.e names of other men who used to be seen upon our streets daily, and who we remember distinctly, viz: Judge Watts, Emsley Wilson, Judge Berry, John Campbell, Thos.

Mr. Reed left Bloomiugton on his first trip for the firm last Monday. Dick Maxwell, a well-known young farmer, who is located just southeast of town, informs the Progress that he had ten acres of oats this season which threshed out 450 bushels. The ground is pretty well fertilized with barn-yard manure. Anybody get more oats on ten acres of ground? A portion of the roof of the National Hotel bad been removed last week when the heavy rain came. As a result a deluge of water poured in, and several rooms were saturated, damaging carpets, furniture and ceilings. The landlord, Mr. Laws, had been purchasing new furniture, carpets, etc., and these were of course seriously injured. The sermon of H. V. Givler, Sunday night, at the M. E. church, subject i "Political Situation of the Country," was a masterly production, and was listened to with close attention. Mr. G. gives great care to the preparation of his sermons on special subjects, and they are always instructive and pleasing. He
is one of the growing preachers of
