BLOOMINGTON.

The lecture on "Ireland and the Irish
under the auspices of the Library Asso-
citation of this place was good and listen
ed to by an appreciative audience. which
was not very large on account of the
evening being bad one, and
other causes of the smallness, was the
prejudice existing in the community
against the speaker on account of his
Greenback proclivities. The speaker
handled his subject too much in style
OF stump speaker, and at times
seemed to exert more muscular power
than the occasion demanded. The
theme is a good one and easy to lecture
on, one too in which might be made
many fine classical illusions with beauti-
f,ll effect. The majority of the audience
were sons of the Emerald Isle, and to
them it was rare treat, for the love of
the ''Old Sod is ever strong in the heart
of q true son of that down trodden and
misfortunate isles of the sea. The his
torical facts alluded to by the speaker
are familiar to every student of English
and Irish history. The singing by the
girls was good and well appreciated by
all; but this republican community do
not care about listen to greenbacker
no matter what he speaks upon.
Superintendent Harper has come and
gone. but while here he gave the school
marms an abundance of labor for two
days. which labor served to arouse their
ideas on the subject of teaching the
young idea to shoot.
With two barber shops in town our
young fellows have ample opportunity
to dress out their abitions and growing
mustaches. Already quite number of
our young fellows are getting some
thing on their upper lips which can be
discovered plainly when magnifying
| glass is placed under their noses.
Mr. John Jones, who seven years ago
left our town to seek his fortune in the
Hawkeye state, returned on visit to
his old stamping ground and was well
coined by all Mr.. Jones is grain
merchant in Allamakee county lows.
These seven years have made some
changes on our friend Jones. He looks
more manly than when we last saw him,
the boyishncss has left him and now we
see sober business man who has tus-
selled with the ups and downs of the
busy world.
Mr.. VIM. Brown has new clerk in
the person of Miss Jodie ellis. Mr..
Browns former clerk, Miss Lizzie
Smith has gone to Milwaukee to lea IN
the miiliner trade.
Mr.. James Aud has the sympathy of
the community in his affection. His
wife developed symptoms of insanity
and must needs go to Madison to get re-
lief at the state asylum.
Mr.. NJ. B. ellis has purchased one of
Mr.. John Cairns lots and he is going to
build fine residence thereon. We are
glad TO see Mr.. ellis come among us.
