The examination for gradua
tion in the common schools will be
held the third Friday of the month. The questions will be sent to teachers by Supt. Craven and the manuscripts will be examined by him. These graduating exercises in the country schools are becoming a special feature in our school system. Stephen Fuller has purchased Dell. Smith's team and wagon, and is now in the hauling and transfer business. Steve is an active young
man, and deserves encouragement. The season of the year is fast approaching when our farmers will
feel inclined to give some attention
to fertilizers. In fact the farmer
who in this progressive age neglects
to use fertilizers is at once set down
as au ola logy, and his yield is nearly always so light that it is
spoken of as a matter of reproach
and as an indication that he is not
up with the times. The experience of those who have bought fertilizers in the past justifies the Progress in stating that the goods furnished by Alexander & Miller have
produced the best results and have
given the greatest satisfaction. The "horse shoe" brands are always reliable, aud the firm finds it a source of pride to recommend them. . No farmer should buy a fertilizer till he gets posted on the "horse shoe." Go down to A. & M.'s and get the particulars, both as to price and results. Either one of the Charleys can tell you all about it and furnish convincing proo.'. Deputy Co. Clerk McPheeters went to Greencastle on Wednesday last, so that he might be on the ground in time to do some effective work in the district convention. A dance was given by a number of tbe Uniform Rank, K. of P., in the new drill hall, on Thursday evening last. The city orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. At the district convention at
Greencastle last Thursday it was determined to hold the convention
for nominating the next member of Congress (Republican of course) at! Martinsville. For member of the i
Slate Central Committee for this
district, Joseph I. Irwin of Bartholomew was elected.

Mrs. Martha, A. Hunter. Mrs. Martha A. Hunter was the daughter of A. Labertew, and was born in Bloomington on the 8th of August, 1831. Ou the 26th pf September, 1848, she was marrjed to Morton C. Hunter. She died on Feb. 3d, and was buried on Sunday, Feb. 5th, the 63d anniversary of Gen. Hunter's birth.
For nearly forty years this couple had lived together, and had born to them eight children, all of whom are living. For more than a year Mrs. Hunter bad been suffering with a fatal disease, one that she knew would cause her death within a certain time, yet sbe was patient and bore up bravely, making many minor preparations for the time when she could no longer be present to superintend the details ot the household. Her husband during her illness had devoted himself entirely to her care and comfort, and her pathway to the grave was made as smooth as possible under the circumstances. Her sons, though located in distant portions of the country, came frequently to see their mother, and their loving hands smoothed the pillow upou which rested their only true friend in this world. Mrs. Hunter had a large circle of acquaintances who took deep interest iu her condition, and their frequent visits aided materially in keeping her mind off he physical troubles. She was charitable, and delighted in good works, and her reputation in this regard will always stand out brightly. The sympathies of the community go out to the stricken family, and especially to the husband, who will sadly miss the sympathy and aid of his lifetime oompaniou.

A cold-bloodtd attempt at murder was made in a saw mill in Salt Creek tp., Monday a week. Wm. Miller ,an employe, and Lewis Smith, the owner ol the mill, had a disagreement during the day, and Miller watched his opportunity when Smith vas at wqrk sawing a log and h-d his back toward Miller when the would be murderer dealt Smith a terrible blow with a heavy hickory handspike. Miller immediately ran away, and Smith was taken to his house where an examination showed that the skull was nut fractured, though tho wound is both deep aud dangerous, and may yet result iu the man's death. Miller escaped aud has not yet been airested. He was originaijy from Kvutu'rki,
a boom.
It so happened that the men
who tampered with the ballots at
Indianapolis were Democrats. Pol
itics should cut no figure in a case like this. It matters not if tbe guilty men be Democrats, Republicans, Greenbackers or Prohibitionists, the punishment should be swift and severe. If it is possible for a half dozen men to change figures on tally sheets, or to take original tickets from the strings and substitute others, it is the sheerest nonsense to go through the forms of an election. Men who want tbe offices, under such state of aflaira, need make but little effort till the election is over, then they may hire these tally sheet or ballot fixers for less money than is usually paid for votes.
Ed. Corr is the last man to throw bis hat into the Democratic Representative ring with a wild
whoop ! The race becomes interesting. Oue day Col. Ryan is ahead; the day following Pension Examiner, County Doctor, Railroad Surgeon Simpson takes the bit in his teeth and seems to be pulling the whole load ; but just then up comes Lou. Rogers and with n smile elbows his way through, while bets are offered freely on him. The populace have not fairly gotten over their excitement when Dick. Fulk comes in sight, backed by Brown county and a large sprinkling of the Monroe county delegation, and the slate seems knocked to pieces. It's fun for the outsiders,
but trying to the nerves of anxious
candidates. Men aud brethren, w
drop a silent tear. Listen! heir
it drop?
