Robert Overman, of Bedford, whom it is all egad had some ribs broken in the railroad accident uear 'Bedford last June, has received $150 damages at the hands of a Monroe county jury. The Bloomington Courier in an item last week advising its readers as to how and whereto make pleasure trips this summer to gee the sights without much expease, says in order to see Hades neonie should come to Bedford.

al and religious family newspapers, like the Courier, do not go to such places. Bro. Gabe, however, visits Bedford frequently. He probably wants to acclimat himself for the future. A telephone company, composed of our own citizens, is now a tixed tact The contract with the Beecher Telephone Co. has been closed, and articles of incorporation have been prepared. A line is now in operation between Hughes' barber shop and the College. It has been tested by many, and all unhesitatingly pronounce it a first-class success. An opportunity will be given our citizens to take stock in this enterprise, which cannot fail to pay as money will be invested in boxes only as fast as they are de-

jmanded by renters. An imme

diate profit on the capita! invested is thus assured. The wire will be erected and the boxes

( placed in the residences or busin

ess places of renters at a rate much lower than that charged for other first-class instruments in other cities.

The spring has come. Squire Tate and Lon Rogers have moved their office to a larger room in Fee's building. The Bloomington Post Grand Army of the republic parade on Decoration day.

It is said that after persons plant rare flowers on the graves in the cemetery they are frequently stolen. A man or woman that would rob a grave of flowers is mean enough tor any thing. In the case of Shanks against the L. N. A. & C. railway, the jury brought in a verdict, last Monday, assessing the damages of the plaintiff at 8800. This is a case where a five-year old girl was injured by the upsetting of a loaded hand-truck, at Mitchell, about two years ago. Capt. Friedley appeared lor the railroad, and Moses R Dunn and John Rt East for the plaintiff. Mattie Small has returned from tiosport where she has been teaching school.

cause he was not the regular nominee. Many Republicans voted against Adams, the regular nominee, and elected a Democrat, but they couldn't vote against Met Jeo, another regular nominee, for tear of electing the colored man. The bringing out

of the colored man as an inde
