A Letter From Mrs. Graham, Friendswood,Tnd.,June 8,1803 To the Faris Bros., Di-uirsists It has been some seven months since I visited your city and was so fortunate as to .have my attention called to the South American Nervine. Had suffered intensely lor a number of years with nervous ana sick headache, had hot flashes, was sleepless and become despondent. Some of my Hloomii.rtn friends spoke so highly of Mouth American Nervine that I was induced to buy a bottle that purchase led to a number of others, and now I sleep soundly, feel buoyant, strong and vigorous, and seldom have headache. Those disagreeaale "hot flashes" have disappeared, and I would not be back to the same condition I was in when I beg"in to take the medicine for any sum you could name. I am respectfully.

The southbound mail train was a half hour late last Sunday afternoon, and the man who took the train when it left the yards here, engineer Robert Muir, did some fast running to make up tho time. Muir had been on the road a great many years and knew every crook and turn on the line, so that ordinarily ho could run his engine at any rate of speed with great safety. But on Sunday, when five miles south of Salem the rails spread and tho engine left the track. Muir jumped as the machine lurched, was caught beneath it, and crushed death it is presumed coming to his relief immediately. The baggage and mail car was thrown across the track and two coaches were derailed, but only one passenger, a man named Haercener of Louisville, was injured He was standing up, was thrown across the aisle in the car and had an ankle broken. Muir's fireman, Chas. Dillard, staid on the engine and aside from a few bruises was uninjured. Muir resided in New Albany with his M-ife and seven children. Muir was known to many by sight at least ho was a tall, spare man, with lousr iron-gray whiskers, and had a reputation for skill and coolness. Ho was in the Salt Creek collision a couple of years ago, and had made the best timo on record with his engine, on this road. The following sto.ry is told of a bashful young man who resides in the country, west of town: Ho was on his way homo in a road cart, and overtook a very attractive young lady on the way. She asked for a seat in the cart, and as she settled herself fairly, our young hero gave tho horse a smart cut and looked away from tho girl. The horse gave a sudden spring and the girl went out backward into the mnd, while John drove on blissfully unconscious of her sudden summersault. When ho finally noted her absence and looked around she was still sitting in the road looking after him with an "you old fool" look on her face. He drove back hastily and asked her to be seated again but she promptly declined. Now they scarcely speak as they pass bv. Wm. H. Lewis of west of town is visiting his old home near White Sulphur Springs, Va. Get ready for the Monroo Co. Fair. It begins on the 26th, remember. Simp, Neeld's family is en tertaining Walter Funk of New Albany. Some of tho fastest horses in the country will bo at the big fair. Go! -It is believed that "times will grow better' ' because they cannot get much worse so if there is a change it will be favorable. The new managers of the county fair are hustlers from away back, and they will have a show worth the money, Old soldiers and old settlers over 60 3'cars of age will be admitted free of charge to the fair on Wednesday. Ab. Kctcham sold sixteen head of fat cattle last week to Marion Hinklo. Average weight 1,600. Harry Howard and wife are with the Reno & Ford comedy companj, at present playing in Vermont. Bona. Rogers and family are visiting the family of his father-in-law, Samuel Wallingford, at j Sheridan, Ind. Miss Belle Maxwell will teach this year in a college at Jacksonville, Ills. Daniel Kilpatrick, who resided here forty years ago, but. is now a citizen of Rising Sun, Iowa, is visiting relations and old friends. There are thirteen, secret societies in Bloomington, and but six nights to work them in. Our married men have ample excuses for being out late o' nights. At the Hughes reunion onl College Hili last week were : Frank Hughes, Lovi Hughes, Jas. Hughes, Florence Hughes, from Now Mexico; Lizzie Hughes, Indianapolis; Mrs. Mary Voss, El Paso, Texas; Mrs. Gilbert, Palo Alto, Calif. Mrs. Thos. I. Owens died at her home north of Bloomington on Sunday afternoon, after a protracted illness. Mrs. Owens' maiden name was Woodall. She was a well known and highly respected woman. The funeral occurred on Monday, and the remains were deposited in Rose Hill i cenieterv.

Rev. Coleman has been returned to the 0th street A. M. E. church as pastor. Conference was held in Richmond. Miss Anna Demaree will teach Latin and Greek in the College at Albert Lea, Mich., having recently been elected to that posi

tion. Sam. Brisco has secured the contract for building the amphitheater and judges' stand, at the fair grounds, at $567 for the amphitheater and 03 for the judges' stand. Some persons with artistic tastes have boon criticizing what they say is a pig, standing beside a cow, at the top of the Monroe Co. Fair advertisement. It is not a pig not intended for a pig but is a watermelon with feet, "don't you know ?" -Business has been so dull at the court house during the past mojith that doodle bugs havo taken possession of the premises, and ire working in a lively manner at the south front of tho county building. An expert "doodle'' caller has been secured and it is expected that a tine crop of bugs will be harvested this fall. Secretary Worrall has been corresponding with Dan. Drinkworth, the expert "starter" and "time judge," and that gentleman has been secured to act in that capacity for tho Monroe Co. Fair. Ho is thoroughly versed in all the technicalities and rules of time tracks and will be found a genuine acquisition to the Fair. College Ave. M. E. Sunday school has elected the following named officers: Supt. Chas. Simmons; Secretary, Pearl Nceld; Treasurer, W. W. Vanzandt; Librarian, Richard Denton; Organist, Jessie Carmichacl; Chorister, Mary Hinds. The average attendance is about 225. Richard Denton has been the librarian of tho school since 1S61. Tho city council has given the I. B. & B. railroad company the right of way through the city. This need not create any undue excitement or alarm. Railroads havo been built (in our minds) through Bloomington three or four times during the past twentyfive years, and still we are compelled to depend upon the reliable, old Motion for transportation when : it is needed. Five or six years ago when Blue & Co. secured the voting of an appropriation for a railroad intended to run east and west, through the county aud had staked a survey through Salt Creek tp. several men who were renting land for farming purposes threw up their contracts for fear the road would be built the following .summer, and their crops would be ruined by the railroad people! "What fools these mortals be." An organization known as the "American Protective Association" has been organized in Bloomington. It is anti-Catholic in character, and non-political. Tho officers were not elected, and wo could not learn who tho charter members were, as it is a secret society. The Progress is not in sympathy with any movement that proposes to array ono sect against another. The Catholic church in this place comprises among its members some of our best people; tho most fraternal feeling has been cultivated between it and the other denominations, and it is unwise, to 6ay the least of it; to encourage a spirit of intolerance in such matters. There are some features of the Catholic church that might be imitated with profit and honor by tho Protestant churches, principal of which is tho "Sisters," an organization that has done and is doing to-day a more unselfish, self-denying and Christian work than any other that history records. Do you wish to meet your neighbors and old friends during the last week of September ' If so como to the Monroe Co. Fair. They will be there, every one. A crowd of horsemen attending the Cook & Whitby circus at Louisville recently, declared tiie English Derby races, the most exciting' they ever saw, being absolutely true to life something- never attempted before under canvass. Spencer Journal: A farmer was explaining that wheat was low because 25 cents tariff had to be paid on every bushel of wheat exported from this country.
