Over 3,000 letters were mailed in the Bloomington Postofiice last

Worrall has been postponed until Friday night of next week. It will be a very recherche affair.

, New brick sidewalks are

constructed on South Walnu

street. The walks on both sides o

the street, between Fourth aud

Fifth, are now the worst in town. The school children of No.'s

and 7 had a vacation a part oi this

week, as no fires could be made in

those rooms on account of the

chimney blowing down on the North

side of the building.

.. A severe gale of last Friday

night blew down the smoke stack of

Waldron's tannery, demolished the circus bill-boards, and knocked a chimney off the school house. . It is predicted by knowing ones that the head of every fourth-class postmaster in the county will go off within the next thirty dajrs if a Republican is contesting for the place. Among those who went to IndianapolisITriday to se Booth & Barrett were Dr. Jordan and wife ;Hon. C. R. Worrall and wife;H. J.Feltus and daughter ; Mrs. T. J. Rogers and daughter; Messrs. Clifford, Retherford and Robertson,students. Miss Ella Tuley has bought 33 feet front of the Dr. Maxwell property on South College Avenue, and W. W. Wicks has taken 33 feet adjoining. Dr. Maxwell was paid $1,200 for the 66 feet, an ordinary town lot. Two nice dwelling houses will be erected at once.

Prom this time onward, for the

down fence posts,puttihg out onion

seta or planting potatoes. Very soon, it is said, new postal

cards will be issued to all postoffices

and put in general use. The card has the advantage of privacy to the correspondence placed upon it. It is much like a double card of the old pattern, the back fold being split diagonally from all four corners and opens square out. The four coiners are joined together in the center with a piece of gummed paper when the card has been written. The card weighs less than half. an ounce and will contain no more writing than those now in use. Traiilcs mud Va. lises at Tlae iyorhfer-

Said an old and thrifty farmer to the Courier last Saturday: As usual I see there are a good many

croackers about the wheat crop,but while the growing crop may look rather weak in some" places I predict we are going to have the best yield of wheat 4ve have had for years, a crop that will make these chronic kickers be satisfied, but they will still gru mble because they will have nothing to kick about. Some men are always grumbling, They spend erough time complaining to do some good work about their farms. But you can say in your pa,petiiat we -are going to

have a big crop of wheat this year, and as it is a Republican administration we are going to get a better price for it. You know the Repub-

to be Mean papers last year said the

Democrats were responsible for the low price of wheat, so of course the Republicans must stand responsible this year. And there was a sly wink and a merry twinkle in the eye of our jolly friend as he walked off.

The grandest move ever made by our citj'- Council, said an old citizen the other day, was the passage of the ordinance preventing live stock from running at large. The Council,though,doesn't deserve the credit. They were afraid to tackle the question, so submitted it to a vote af the people, and it was carried iu spite of a hard fight against it. Many fences have been removed and the yards beau tilled, and our little city is growing much hand

somer from this cause alone. ' Our

pound is filled with weeds ;it is hard

ly ever used, and it would be a curiosity to see any live stock at large on our streets. The law has been

in force over three years and it is a

grand success.- In this respect we

are ahead of many larger cities.

Thefts will be an excursion from Bed fowl to this city next Sunday, to attend the Easter services at the Catholic Church.

The 'Working .sen's Building Association, last Saturday night, elected the following officers : President,

J. G. McPheeters ; Vice-President,

Howe Byors; Secretary, Frank Woolly; Treasurer, James Rice; Attorney, John Graham. Dr. Weir retired as a director and was complimented for his past services with a vote of thanks,

$1.00 per

pair up,

Last baturday and Monday the

Treasurer's office was crowded

with tardy tax-payers, but Dr. Gas

ton waited on them with "neatness

and dispatch," and all were treated courteously.

In April 1890 all township officers

are elected for a term of four years and they are eligible four years out of any eight. Trustees serving

their first terms now are eligible for

re-election in 1890.

The Hon. "Sunset" Cox is a very

pleasant gentlemen as well as a

thorough scholar. A number of

our citizens had an opportunity of

becoming personally acquainted

with him last Wednesday morning. One can readily see why he is so popular in his district, and return

ed to Congress so often.

The success of the "Y" dramatic

performance last week was largely

due to Mrs. Pittman who suoerin-

tended the alfair, also to Miss Josie Pittman who by her excel lect recitation added much interest to the entertainment. The voumr ladies

of the "Y" recognized these facts, and made a visit to the Pittman residence where they presented Mrs P. with a handsome silver travelers cup, and Miss Josie with a set of silver fruit knives. The presentation address was made by Miss Ada Pearson.

Said a well-known punster: We

are going to get t(as and we are not

going to have to dig very hard. At

this the big ears of our reporter flopped up, and with bated breath

he asked, why? The reply came: We are going to use the counter ir

ritant plan. We are going to utilize

some of this surface gas to draw

ported said this talk about surface

gas was like a church bell because

it had often been told (toiled.) Say,

your jokes, now don-t begin on our

Our reporter halted the fellow

who stoppe 1 the town clock at the Republican convention a few years ago and as'ied : Who are the Republicans who want to swing on the

Court-house gate next year? Don't

know; the boys haven't got the slate fixed up yet. Enoch Fuller wants to swing ou the White House ate, but i he doesn't succeed he will no doubt be willing to locate in the Southwest corner of the Courthouse for four years more. Tom Farr will continue to divide the Sheriff's Sales between the two official organs, but there will be lively fight so ver the offices of treasurer and recorder. Richland township wants the former office, but I guess she will have to be satisfied with recorder. The Republicans lip there generally want the earth, but we always satisfy her with a few acres. J ust now we are too busy watching our corners for some, of the spoils? of the last election? r " i ". ' " Sup't John W. Craven completed his school visitation for the year of 1888-9 last Thursday, :and during the time he walked 289 miles, rode 186 miles, visited more than a hundred teachers, made one hundred and two speeches to pupils, fell in Salt creek once, was chased by a bull-dog for a quarrer of a mile, run through a ten-acre brier patch by a "gentleman" cow, and notwithstanding all these experiences he looks hale and hearty, and bids fair to live to a ripe old age. .

O Balutavis Kapp Tautum Ergo liossi A cordial invitation is extended to all, As will be iseen by the call published in this paper, the Democrats will hold a Convention on the 30th inst. for the purpose of nominating a full city ticket. There is a general demand for a ticket in opposite the machiace ticket nominated last week by "the same old crowd." The Convention, as we understand it, is not to be strictly Democratic one, but all who are in favor of a new deal in the administration of the affairs- of the city are invited to take part in the proceedings of the. Convention. If a good ticket is nominated, it can be elected, as a lare nnmber ot vest-pock ef tickets will be cast in its favor. Of course the organs will begin to howl and crack the party lash, but there are many tax-ridded citizens of Bloomington who will not be whipped in. College Hill is ahead so far in the way of surprise parties.. One of those very pleasant events occurred at the residence of Joseph H Kirby, on East Third street, last" Friday night. Mr. Fred Fess, a neighbor, took the matter in charge and made a grand success of it. It was Mr. Kirby's 42d anniversary, and the nerct day was the anniversary of his wife, a few years his Junior, In order to celebrate both anniversaries, the merry party took possession of the house early in the evening and remained until after midnight. Of course refreshments were served,- and the evening was spent in social enjoyment in which all happily participated. The principal present was a handsome willow chair, a gift from a few near friends. Upon separating at a late hour the congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kirby were profuse and hearty.
