BLOOMINGTON.

Ample preparations are being made
for the fair. The grounds are being
made ready; the grass moved off, tents
put up, and everything put in order.
Superintendent Fennell has put his
shoulder to the wheel and everything
must move when he wills it. A good
fair is anticipated and at present Old
Mother Nature seems to smile blandly
and promises good day-a day when
neighbors can meet one another, talk
over matters, compare their produce
and croft by some timely advice given
by a neighbor that has more experience
in one line than he has. The publican,
too, will improve the opportunity and
interview those who are his friends, set
up the pegs and makes everything love-
ly for his side. Promises will be made
on both sides. On the part of one it
will be to get up delegation, on the
part of the other to'see to it that in case
of It's nomination and election he who
fixes things in his town favorable to the
successful candidate shall get--we pre-
sumo that all things are right in politics
just as it is in war. The young man will
be at the fair for the purpose of being
with his charmer ana the young lady
will be there to show her new dress and
bonnet. More of the fair in my next.
Our adjourned school meeting did not
build an addition to the school house;
the powers that be were against the
project. The majority seemed to think
that one hundred and forty-two seats
were sufficient for two hundred and
twenty-seven pupils. The Record puts
it that it is expected that each seat shall
contain one on each side and two in the
middle. There was splendid chance
for some ambitious candidate to endear
himself to our educational, loving peo-
pie by espousing their cause and advo-
eating an addition to our already crowd
ed school room. Every parent that has
children going to school would have
blessed him, and would have voted for
him, and would have sent him up to
Madison, thus showing that Bloom
ington stood squarely and boldly
on the side of ample school room for her
children. But men do not at all times
sieze the opportunity which would ben
eft them, and thus it is with some of
the ambition of our town. We await
the advent of another year which will
bring all things to a proper understand
ing. Then Bloomington will have a
school room which viii do credit to the
people and the place.
Superintendent Harper is holding
| forth at the school house. School marms
are scarce and but few in attendance at
his examination. Mr.. Harper is well
liked among the teachers and popular
among the people of this community.

The BAND gave their customary open
air concert, Saturday evening, discourse
ing sweet strains in q manner calculated
to warm the blood and send it in tingling
strains through the pulses Of the most
b'dse nearer. The improvement made by
these musicians in the short time they
have been together, is matter of
wonderment to every one acquainted
with the difficulties they have had to en-
counter in their endeavors to furnish
Lancaster with band Of which her cif1-
zenS can speak with just pride. The
improvement made reflects great credit
upon their painstaking leader, Mr..
ChaS orion, as well as upon each indi-
Nidual member of the corps. Taking
number and advantages into considera-
ton The HERALD much doubts if any
similar body in the state surpasses or
even equals it in efficiency.

suit upon upon Caroline Fritsche, their
object being burglary, was the first to
demand the attention of the court and
resulted in the conviction of the priso-
ners. The jury remained out but a few
minutes when they returned with YER
diet of guilty. The prisoners will pro-
badly be sentenced at the end of the term.
The crime was committed in Crawford
county but defendants took change of
venue on the ground of prejudice in the
people of Crawford.

to impress a reader, with no illustration

wonderful in such an invention, but
there is. The charts are as far ahead
of any other charts for illustrating the
foundation of written letters as define

motion of the earth. They are causing
a wave Of sensation in the trade, and
applications come to him from every
