THINKLEiTS.
SOME 11 AN DOB THOUGHTS, Prepared in Our Thought Fac tory. The postoffiee developes some queer characters. Tin- student girls and boys come to get a remmittance from home and at the same time to meet some of their frats and supporters, and the gigg-linf and small talk is sometimes quite amusing. There the 1. ...1, , , - 1 i . 1.... ...1. . . ' seldom fail to go to the general delivery four times a day, come in with a rush, and seem very much surprised when the delivery clerk says "nothing!" Next comes the rude fellow who pushes others aside, saying gruffly, "I want to get my mail,'" and opening his box with a jerh inserts his hand and draws it out empty! Then there is the important individual, who deliberately and with provoking slowness takes each letter from his bos, scans it elosely, reads the postal cards, examines the newspapers, and quits when he gets ready, all this time preventing three or four of the patrons of the office from having access to their boxes. You have all seen this fool. Tho general delivery clerk has the most trying place, however. People come in from Polk tp. and inquire for the entire neighborhood, and then ask, "any letters fer me?" "Nothing," says patient Marxson, "well, it's , mighty queer," says the fellow, "Sam Jones says lit' writ three weeks ago. and I hnint got it yit." And then he insinuates that the delivery clerk has the letter and ivon't give it up. You always see strange game when you hare no gun. During the past 18 months a number of organs have been sold on the installment plan, in this place, and as a result the midsummer evenings have been tortured by the groans. wheeeings and grunts of which this J instrument is so proline. Iwow comes the finale in a number of suits at the ! recent terms of circuit court to re-! cover on notes given in payment. They never take the property back and relieve the neighborhood, however. The heavy layer of stone that has been placed on the streets around the court house square has muffled the dust, though it still comes rolling up the side streets. It is also a great annoyance to those who have been in the habit of driving "around and around" the square in order to show off; still there are persons who will keep this up, no matter how sore their horses' feet may become from coming in contact with those sharp pieces of limestone. Bloomington is a city of homes. The building- associations have assisted materially in providing homes for our industrious mechanics and ar-1 tisans, and 1 am pleased to see that i the plan of securing homes has been 1 so simplified that men can get build- ; ing sites by paying each week the I amount they usually spend for to- I bacco and billiards. Henry Woolery ! has the credit of this movement here, i and it is a good one. Takes all kind of people to make a world. Some are honest because they wish to be. Others wouldn't be honest if they could. . But of all the contemptible beats is the man or woman who will get your goods and men wnen a statement oi account ; is sent will fly into a passion and j abuse the man who has been giving- ; credit just because he "sent a dun." I This is a cheap way to act the dead beat. There is no more gentlemanly ! or secret manner in which to at- j tempt the collection of a debt than ! Dy a statement under the cover of an envelope. No one need know it except the person who receives it, and if the party owes the bill and is an honorable man, he will feel grateful that the matter has not been made public. It seems incredible that a sane man would "get his back up" at a statement. It only goes to i prove that the dishonest fools are not ! all dead. Helen, daughter of Henry O. Axtell and wife, died on Friday morang last, aged seven months, after a brief illness. The funeral services were held at the residence on Saturday afternoon, the burial service of the Protestant Episcopal church wa read, and an address was made by Rev. Mr. Steele of the M. E. church. Tho many warm friends of Mr. and Mrs. Axtell sympathize deeply with the bereaved young parents. A "family grocery" :.s what Hemp. Wilson keeps, and porsons who desire something nico in the way of staples or family groceries come to this establishment. No one can form an idea of the great variety of goods that may be crowded into a room of ordinary dimensions till this one is examined. Mr. Wilson is an experienced grocoryrnan kuows what you are likely to need, and keeps a complete slock. He keeps the best butter in town there is no doubt about it.
