Under the management of Prof. Ray last year, the schools were a complete success in every particular. Miss Lou Bennett will again be one of the assistants. Her reputation as a teacher is first class. If the other two to be selected rank with these, success b certain for our schools this year. John D. Morgan, Taylor Carmichael, Jack Dowden and W. N. Neeld, of Bloomington were in town Wednesday. Uncle Thad Butcher, the butchf butchers, had goat on the market this week.

It is reported that there was a "hot time in the old town" last Sunday. Drinking and rioting being the order of business. Not being en the street, the writer did not see the fun. The officers are taking steps to hare the .public well kept in a more decent condition. A little more care may save trouble in the future. Items are "scase" this week. I didn't learn if Miss Smith visited Miss Jones, or if Jim Koons swapped "hosses" with Jack Hazel, or if Dr. Hon and Bill Carmickael had played croquet this week, but I guess they did. J. C. C.

THE TIME IS RIPE. . Bloomington needs an organic- j eil body that will boom it. A ;

i Board of Trade, or an erganizH-

tion of similar character that will meet with the approval of the j businessmen of the community; would be just the thing. Like '

an otner puuuc movements or importance this conld not be accomplished in n day; neither in it a matter of years or even months, providing some one or two of our prominent citizens will take hold ef the matter for their own ard tbeir city's good. Tho arguments in favor of such an organization are so many and so entirely convincing, that no campaign of propagation is needed. Men of affairs and citizens who hope to witness a normal expansion of Blooniington's enterprises, do not have to be argued into a belief that we can keep pace with our riva's, by merely sitting

industries, and will be constantly reaching out for accessions of population and wealth, such as are every year available to this city. There is no method of accomplishing anything worth a moment's consideration except through organization. Combined effort counts, where individuals may be powerless. If the business men wish to get factories here, to add new elements to our population, to increase the de mund for homes and to expand

Ahothtr cxprttss eompauy. Lover of Bloomington fw Bloom -inglou'sgood. One f those little incidents shewing beautiful lack of conventionality in some people, occured on tho corner of 8th and Walnut Strtets last Tuesday noon. A woman quite advanced in years, had reached the corner, nieely attired in a brown woolen skirt and black waist, she was cariying a telescope, rod stopped to rest. Directly she began to undress; and with grett deliberation and

coolness, she changed inte a blue calice mother hubbard. Nothing

jdahnted by observers she made

ba complete change in her apparel

and then packed the garments she had taken efl' into her grip, as if changing clothes on a public high-

fway, at tne noon nour, was a

common occurrence. A little thing like privacy made no difference to her.

Several hundred pairs of Travelers' Sample Shoes at Half Prico and Less. These almost perfect Shoes are to be sold at le.ss than half their original value, simply because of some slight strain or rip which we have had carefully repaired, or with the drummers' samples they arc more or less loussy looking from being put on the sample tables otherwise, just as good as new. Anything in fact that would be observed by the most critical buyer in the way of an hr perfection is sufficient cause just now (when we need the room for new stock) to class them as defective shoes. Some are out of style and small siees. Most people buy them by half dozen pairs, enough to last the year out for ordinary use. They were formerly 2.00 and $3.00, now $L.O0.
