Circuit court begins its session in Paoli this week. One ot the best speakers in the State, Hon. Jno. L. Griffiths of Indianapolis, has consented to address the Republican Mass Meeting on the 21st. He is worth hearing. The State Board of Agriculture, at its regular annual session last Wednesday re-elected W. B. Sew

ard as the member from this district. The vote stood: Seward, 37; C. D. Riggs, U; Samuel Dinsmore, 8. Col. G. W. Friedley and Vice President Carson are going soon to Washington City to endeavor to secure the double postal service on the Mouon. If they succeed it will give us our mail matter about five hours earlier than at present. Republicans of each township should make a careful selection of men to represent them as members of the county central committee. This is very important. Don't neglect this and leave the committee to be selected in the mass meeting on the 21st, for you know that is seldom satisfactory. Under the provisions of the law the county commissioners met the first week in January and elected a Secretary of the Board of Health, choosing for this position Dr. J. E. Harris, who already holds the office of pension examiner. Dr. Axtell, the incumbent, haa not turned over the office, as he has been advised by the Secretary of the State Board of Health that Dr. Harris is not eligible. As the county commissioners have held the only election provided by law and have adjourned, and have elected an ineligible person, Dr. Axtell, it would seem, is entitled to the office till his successor is legally elected and qualified, which cannot

UMVEftSITY JIEWS ITEMS On Sunday morning last Messrs. Aldred S. Warihin, Chas. Greenstreet, Mr. Tatlock and Miss Grnco KhwIoj united with the Waluut street Presbyterian church.

The number of new students is always greater the third term than the second, and in addition to the usual number of lower classmen, we will .have a number of persons who will oome in to graduate with our Senior Class. The Profssrs have honored a number of students with "Cons," far hut terms work. A University dance in Evans' Gallery, will be given In a short time. The stu

dents were anxious for a dance all last

term and now that an opportunity is given to gratify that desire, It is to be presumed that all who dance will take advantage of Hitch ell Shields who attended Rose Folytecnic the first part of list term says he will not graduate with the class of '88. The chapel is now left unmolested at

night. Those who were in the habit of

visiting it nightly seem to have decided to close their raids. A number of the young ladies are talking of taking Botany. Why is this ? Mel. Paris, through Prop. '88, is making weekly trips to Gosport. It may be that be does this to sell drugs. On Friday morning last, Bcv. Lyons of the U. P. church of this city addressed tba student on tha subject of the Y.
