syslom and order, in the matter of:

a canvass. There will be a full ticket this Fall, and they will all

come in with satisfactory majorities. Republicans have been electing their ticket now for over tweuty

Therefore voters should not change their residence before election dav, if they wish to vote. The Welch murder .case was sent to Bedford on a change of venue. Matt. James was brought to town on Friday night. This does not seem a very wise move, for it was generally believed that Welch would have baen acquitted here, where James,, the prosecuting witucss, is best known. The additions to our population, during the -past two weeks, have been numerous. Among these were ; Born to John C.

with our knowledge of the 'Squire's manner of doing business, we arc

prepared to certify that it was an

excellently conducted ceremony, es-

ipcciall.y when we take into consid

eration the fact that the .combined weights of the contracting parties was over a quarter of a ton the bride weighing. 324 lbs,, while the groom tips the oca lea lit 180 lbs. The 'Squire, in order to have as varied on experience as possible, now invites the first couple of "light weights" that are connubially inclined, to call on him. Indiana

The machinery for the .quarry being opened at cr near Harrc4sburg by Jas. Nichol & Co., is on the ground, and will be placed in position as soon as the weather is suitable. The proprietors are well pleased with their purchase, and

are confident that they have cue of

the best quarries in the .country. Wm. F. Browning was placed in nomination at Greencastle, last Thursday by J. G. McPheeters, for for the position of Committeeman for the 5th congressional district, and was uuanimously elected. Mr.. Browning's extensive experience in this class of business will make his advice of special value to the Republican State Central Committee, and among its various members we doubt if any man so competent and so peculiarly fitted for the work will be selected. The office of Assessor, always an important one, is doubly important when the real estate is to be assessed. This occurs once in six years, and that duty will devaLv.e upon .the Assessor elected in April. He should be a man of sound judgment, well acquainted with values, and a man with experience in such matters. As the name of John C. Whisnand has been mentioned in connection with this office the Progress takes pleasure in -endorsing his nomination, feeling assured that a better man for the position .could not be selected. A thousand doila-rs is & big price for a coon skin, but that's what Joe Lewark, the Indiauapolis fur buyer, says he will pay for one,. But it must be n match to one already iu his possession. "I never saw a -spotted one like that," pointing to a large skin on the wall. "There are black hides., and silver grays, aud nearly all other colors, but that's the only spotted coon hide that ever came to the market." The spots were in lines on the sides,

and were thick round blotches of

gray. The fur-catch this year has not been prolific, and prices have ruled high. Choice coon skius have sold for 2. The biggest black eoou e.vor known .in Indiana, so ifUr as the furrier was able to state, was

taken there last week. He measured three feel from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. His hide is full two feet wide and the fur i3 deep and thick. The

hide is almost thiok enough to have

Pittman & Clark's "Reai Estate Journal" is at Jiand, and we find it a well filled and carefully edited paper. It is of special value to persons who desire to make make knewu to their friends the advantages of Monroe county as a

field for investment or a place of

residence. A full and complete description is given of the Monroe

couuty blue grass lands, and a large

list ot desirable property as advertised iu its pages. It is said that Marion Hiukle will be a candidate for rc-nomina-tiou to the office of Sheriff, and T. 11. Sudbury is talking of being a candidate tor Treasurer on the Democratic ticket, while Len, S.. Field is spok'ju of for Clerk. D. J.

Marwsou took place at the Presbyterian church in .this city, at 4:30 p. nu, on Tuesday, iFeb. 9. As might have been anticipated, because of the fact that the contract

ing .parties are general favorites in

the community, a large number ot

persons were in attendance. Ihe church was appropriately decorated for the occasion with flowers, plants and evergreens. t?he ceremony was performed by Rov. W. J. Fra-
