There is a rumored engagement
between a dashinsr vounsr Blooms-
burger, who, during the past sea
son has evinced a strong propen
sity for the staere. and a dark-
haired Danville belle. The young
man is said to be madly infatuated,
in fact, carries a 32-calibrc- revolver,
in case he encounters any rival for
her hand, but the exact temperature
of the youncr ladv's affections has
not been ascertained.
Some one queries : "What's the
matter with navine a portion of
Main street while the thoroughfare
is torn up to lay the trolley ?" The
gentleman then followed up the
above remark by stating that if the
officials bring out the debt limit
bogy and assert that there are no
funds available for such improve
ment, that it would be easy to find
people who would willingly advance
the money required and wait to be
repaid until the treasury is replen
ished.
J. E. Fidler was assisted in mov
ing his laundry machinery on Sat
urday by his father, Clark Fidler of
Benton, and three others from this
town. The change was made in a
remarkably short time. The Co-
LUMbian representative called at
JUrr l idler's uew quarters Moudav
mornine and was surprised to see
. - . .
everything in fine shape. At his
old stand on Market street he re
ceived a lanre share of the public
trade. Attentive, enterprising and
pome he built up a prosperous enter
prise, and his patrons will congratu
late him on improved facilities for
continuing his business.
There was a large and nice dis
play ot vegetation at the market
Tuesday morning. Cherries were
most abundant in the fruit line.
There were lots of ihem, but
the demand was good and venders
fouud little difficulty in disposing
01 meir supply. The writer inter
viewed several of the farmers in re
gard to the outlook for crops. Each
appeared to feel confident of rich
harvests. Corn, which earlier in
the season was threatened with dis
aster, is, they believe, over the
danger period now. and the warm
days and nights are helping its
growth. All that is needed now
to place the cereal beyond the reach
of injury is rain.
To eet away from the torrid
atmosphere of the bedroom a col
ored individual of the feminine sex
lied herself to Oak Grove, a few
evenings aeo there to eniov the
breezes which are ever present. So
in lier native innocence she ca m v
divested herself of her clothing nut
on a white n'ght dress and stretched
nerseit on a plank which spanned
the distance between two trees, to
dream, if possible, the hours awav.
The contrast between her ehnnv
form and scanty robe de unit, has
been described to the writer by two
people who were near at hand, as
artistically delightful. Instead of
being grateful for au opportun
ity to see where nature rivaled
art, our informants say they were
greatly annoyed and ill at
ease, until by a forced laugh
they made their presence known
and Jthe woman disappeared from
view behind the dancint? oavillion
and departed toward the railroad
tracks.
