Prof. Bryan is too valuable a man to be jxTmitlrd (a go without at least a mild protest, aud one of the (Hin'litioim of his leave of absence is the assurance that he will return to Bloomine'tnn at tbe close of bis year in Clark University and. take up his work where be left it.

There's Pete, John, Jim, Joe, Wil liam and Ned, a half dozen boys to be clothed up and fed.- And 1 buy for tbem all good, plain victuals to eat; but clothing I only buy clothes for Pete. When Pete s clothing are too small for him to get on, my wife makes 'em over and gives 'em to John : When for John, who is ten, they have grown out of date, Sue just makes 'em over for Jim, who is eight. When for Jim they've become too ragged to fix, she just makes 'em over for Joe, who is six. And when little Joseph can wear them no more, she just makes 'em over for Bill, who is four. And when for young Bill they no longer will do, she just makes 'em over for Ned, who 11: two. So you see if 1 get enough clothing for Pete, the family is furnished with clothing complete.

An individual who has never visited the quarries in tbe vicinity of Smitbvilfe, can form no idea of the extent of tbe business they are doing. The Progress made a hurried -trip to that locality on Tuesday of last week and we were well paid for tbe time spent there. The quarry opened last fall by Reed & Nichols toes not show up well this is not because of a lack of stone but because of tbe awkward manner ii which it seems to have been opened. .The Tomlinson quarry, at wbicn operations were begun only about two months ago, is located some three or four hun dred yards, away, and although it has been worked but about thirtyfive days, a fine let of buff and blue stone has been cut and luted nut in handsome blocks. Young Tomlinson, who is superintending this quarry la person, is evidently a worker, and knows what he is doing. - As yet he has no switch to the main line, but is getting out stone and piling it up for shipment. A ball mile away is the original Reed. Crafton & Adams quarry, qnd to a person who has never seen a. first-class quarry in active opera tion, this is in the nature of a revelation. The stone has been quarried out in one place to a depth of forty feet, and it appears like the solid foundation of an immense building; two channelers were pounding sway at the solid floors of oolitic limestone, heavy masses of rook were beiug swung out by powerful hoisting machinery, and everything about the place deooted intelligent activity. It is but about two hundred yards from this quurry to that owned by the Adams ttjniily, and known as the "Monroe County." This is said, bv practi cal stone men, to tie the Inst quarry that has ever been oneued iu South ern Indiana. There is bnt little waste stone, and immense blocks from fiftv to eighty feet in length can be lifted out with ease aud con-1 veiiicnce. The stone too is fine in quality aud soft enough to work I nicely. Wit bin sight of tbe two last named quarries two pieces of: land have recently been purchased by parties who intend to get ont stone as soon as switches can be built. That locality seems to be full of good merchantable stone, arid owners of land are holding for higher prices. Among others who have land upon wbieh a good prospect for stone is fouud is Cnpt. N. B. Mathers of this city. The roads are uncommonly rough for the time of year. They are lull of deep ruts and Inrgilumps of wind-dried mud, there having been no rain of any conse quence since the spring raius ceased. A shower or two would do mueh toward leveling the dirt roads throughout the county, iu additionrfo giving needed moisture to the wheat, corn and other growing crops. , Mr. Whianand is patting his assessment ot real estate in shape, and the greatest increase is on the public square, where tbe assessment is about double what it has been. Tbe comers of the square : Bank, Faris' drug store, and Simmons' ejothing store, are placed at $ 160 per toot; then running north on the west aide the assessment is f 125 tr Norman's drug store, and J 100 per foot thence north.' On the north side of tbe square tbe assessment is 80 per foot. On the east side 160 per foot. On the south side up to Bank corner f 100 per foot, lhe buildings are assessed in addition to thesemouots. On May 1 the dealers and manufacturers of tobacco were re lieved of the special tax or license which baa been collected since the passage of the internal revenue law during tbe war. During 1890 tbe number of dealers in raanutac tured tobacco was 608,088 at $2.40 cents each. The abolition of all the special taxes on tobacco will reduce the general revenue about $1 ,000,000 a year. . -rr-If you need letter-heads, state ments, bill-head. s, or envelopes, take them to Harry T.

Tbe wheat harvest will soon be here, and town boys who need exercises can go out in the country and sting themselves with wasps and other gentle Monroe county insects, Back-door tourists (tramps) are becoming quite plentiful again. They are hig, able-bodied loafers witb nothing to recommend tbem but their overwhelming gall. Among them was a one-legged 200pounder who was very saucy to those who refused to supply him with turkey-breast, and a finger bowl. There seems to be quite a boom in the saloon business. Oscar Strother has placed new bar fixtures in his saloon at a cost of $600 ; Oscar Souder is putting in u o00 set of bar fixtures, and Jas. Kelly and Jos. Hession are painting, papering and re-decorating generally. They must anticipate a great ii.fltix ot Democrats, as it is generally known that Republicans and Prohibitionists never drink. Capt. J. W.
