The closing exercises at the Academy
last Friday evening, were largely attended.
The Hall was jammed in every corner, and
many went away without being able to get
even look inside the door. The musical
and literary exercises were of high order,
and very creditable to both teachers and
pupils.
Prof. and Mrs. Cate, will spend portion
of their vacation in Chicago. It is said
that Miss Green, does not expect to return
to Bloomingburg. She is an accomplished
musician, and charming young lady,
whose place will not be easily filled.
The prospect for corn in this region,
never was better at this time in the season.
Potatoes that have been watched and kept
clear of bugs, are also doing well, and
promise a good crop.
Work on the Presbyterian Church is
progressing rapidly.
We notice that Messrs Gibson & Houser
have added a readymade clothing depart
ment to their trade. It is something we
need in our village. W.

The name Of Hon. NJ. J. Williams, Of
this place, we notice, has been mentioned
in our exchanges in this district, in connec-
ton with the nomination as a candidate to
succeed Hon. A. S. Dickey. Other gen
tlemen of our place, have also been named,
any one of them would make good judge.
Fayette county will undoubtedly present a
name to the convention, and our delegates
will be a unit for him when the day for
making the nomination comes. Whether
it be Williams, Gardner or Maynard. Either
one of them would fill the judicial position
with ability and with honor. They are
gentlemen of high order of legal attain
ments, industrious habits and commendable
moral standing and emminently worthy in
this respects of any position the people Of
the district may choose to assign them
But while of course, we prefer one of our
own citizens, we expect to give our support
to any candidate possessing equal qualifca-
tions in every respect should the nomina-
ton fall upon such an one outside of our
county.
