Fall suits, neat-fitting and handsome, are turned out daily by Ben. McGee, the Artist Tailor, at bis emporium of fashion, on the sooth side of the public square. A peculiarity of McGee's suits is that while they fit snugly to the form, as if moulded, they are perfectly easy no binding or sensation of
drawing. In fact, they have the peculiarity of all proper-fitting clothes: you are unconscious of the
fact tbat you nave them on your
person, and so don t feel constrain

something horrid." "It is. It's
a terrible microbe that gets through
your entire system. It is caught by eating ice cream." and here
George looked straight ahead with
all the indifference he had in stock.
"What Kind ot disease does it
give you?" she inquired, sup
pressing a shudder. "I don't know exactly, but I should think it was something like the small-pox, only a great deal worse." She didn't

Then she laid her hand on his arm,
and aid in a low voice i "Ueorce.
"What is it, dearest?" "I have

The September moon fulled on
Monday the i3lh, and now will be seen the most beautiful moon of the
year, tue Harvest moon ot which
poets have sung. The husbandmen of old saw in the celestial ar
rangement that permitted the moon
to rise for four evenings after the
full with only thirty-two minutes' average difference a providential interposition to prolong the day, aud thus lend them assistance in gathering in the harvest. On Sept.
22, at 10 p. ni., the autumnal equinox occurs. Night and day are then of equal length all over the globe.

the Chair of History. His subject was "The Influence of English Thought on French Literature, and the subsequent persecution of French writers, preceding the French Revolution." Mr. Wylie, of Paxton, Ills., a nephew of Mao Wylie, is spending a few weeks with relatives in this vicinity. Mr. W. was formerly a student in DePauw at Greencastle, and will enter the Junior class here if his health will permit. We hope he may complete his course in our University. Mr. Jno. T. Foster bas been chosen Principal of the Cloverdale school;, in Putnau county. Mr. Foster is one of the leading teachers in our eounly, wd will be remembered as the annual orator before the last Institute. This promotion shows the benefit of bringing out some of the good talent among our country teachers. Mr. F. will make a success and will boon be able to command a first class place among the Principalhips of Southern Indiana. We congratulate him. The Courier charges that En
och Fuller, Republican candidate for Clerk, was a former resident of Greene county. James B. Clark,
Democratio candidate for Clerk, was n former resident of Washington county. Everybody can't be born in Monroe county, however much they may desire to. Sudbury, the Democratio candidate for
Treasurer, came from Ohio. Tbat
does not disqualify him. The edi
tor of the Courier holds the office of Bloomington postmaster, yet be
came from Greencastle to this place
within the recollection of a majori
ty of our citizens. Try something
else. The Court House Park, which
ought to be a thing of beauty and a
joy forever, is sadly marred in its
beauty by the presence of all sorts
of things. Why should the com
tniasioners allow the yard to be used by manufacturers as a place to
store or exhibit their goods. They
are under obligations to keep the
yard at least in a respectable condi
tion. There is no reason why it
could not be a pretty place, instead
of the ugly thing that it is. At oresent it is an eyesore to all the
strangers in the place, and even some of our home neonle have seen
a prettier Court House Lawn. Let
us clean up. Martinsville Republican. Charley Bain went to Bloomington,

Clark is a very clever man, and deserves a better fate than to be put up and slaughtered for his money. He has money and will
spend it, but after it is spent he
will find that the goods will not be delivered as per contract. The county commissioners, Harrell and Kirby, have been doing their best this week to take care of the county's interests. They are No. 1 men in all particulars, and will be triumphantly re-elected November 2d. Mrs. Gordon of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is expected in Bloomington
this week with her children, two of
whom will attend college. Mrs. G. is an aunt of the Stewart boys who graduated here, a sister of their mother. Charley Durham is a lucky
cuss. He was tried on a charge of
drawing a revolver to shoot his wife and was cleared in circuit court. Charley always beats the numerous cases brought up against bin. A man as lucky aa Charley

The artesian well contractor,
Mr. Miller, made a proposition
last week to the commissioners that
he would place a pump in thewell and fix it so that water might be pumped, offering to take a certain reduction on the amount due him.

-Ed. McGee received a letter
last Wednesday from Fred. Klemper of Cincinnati, asking if the old
"Cataract" engine was still in ex
istence, as the City Fire Department desired to place it in the exposition building as a relic. Mr. Klemper was in Bloomington a
couple of years ago, and saw the
"Cataract," which was the first engine used by the Cincinnati volunteer fire department, and he recog
nized the machine immediately, pointiug out some initials he had
cut on it when he was a young man.

the most clever, kind-hearted men
in the county. He was a gallant
soldier, and did his share toward putting down the rebellion. He is
competent and would make one of
the most popular officers of the county. His opponent is a man in good circumstances has several
nice farms well stocked, and was

The remains were taken Sabbath

Dr. Gaston's right arm, crippled and twisted oat of shape by a rebel bullet, ought to be argument enough for men who desire to vote tor a firsit-class man for County Treasurer. Gaston has no superior in the matter of competency, and should have a full ungrudging support. V-Prof. Everman of the State University, bas been elected to fill the vacancy at the Terre Haute Normal college, caused by the resignation of Prof. Jenkins. Professor Everman will have charge of all the classes in natural science. Enoch Fuller was a gallant soldier, and is the Republican candidate for Clerk.
