MOmtOUTH SCHOOL NOTES. ' The schools of Root township all dosed this week, except two. No. 2 taught by Hattie Magley closed Wednesday.. No. Bby Miss Wallace, No. 5 by Miss Elzey, No. 7 by J. C. Grand staff, No. 8 by G. A. Christen closed Friday. At the two last named places a good dinner had been furnished by the patrons and were partaken by quite a number of visitors. Music and songs were furnished for the occasion by the Scheferstlne Bio.’s and John Wolford. The pupils of G. A. Christen’s school surprised him by presenting hirn with a toilet box as a mark of their appreciation of him as a teacher. A well-planned surprise was sprung on John the literary exercises In the anertioon. A well arranged program bad been prepared by John, but there were some things with it that he was not “onto.” When he called on Addis Ruckman for a declamation she spoke the following lines: Kind teacher; from our grateful hands, A simple token lake. This, God’s Holy Bible, O, prize it for our sake; And, may it say to you each day. Better than words can tell; The reverent love we feel for him, Who loved his pupils well. May it be your guide Through years to come; And lead your willing feet along the path, Whose windings end, Where all God’s children meet. His pupils had taken this plan of presenting him a fine Oxford Blple. There was something the matter with John about that time and he very nearly tailed to say thank you. John says he highly appreciates the gift and the motives that prompted the donors, and will endeavor to profit by its teachings and always bold in remembrance the kindness of parents and pupils of the term just closed. The Monmouth primary room taught by Ira Fonner closed Friday and the graded route taught by C. D. Kunkle on Saturday.

On entering his home a few evenings since, John Christen suddenly found him self enwrapped in the folds of a quilt John could'not at first tell whether it was a whitecap invasion or a kuklux uprising, but on being permitted to see the light he found himself surrounded by his neighbors and friends. His wife had an old-fashioned quilting during the day, and in the evening the husbands of the ladies invited were present and gave him the warm reception mentioned. A good supper was partaken of after which music and games were indulged in until a la'e hour when all returned their homes feeing that It had been one of the most enjoyable evenings of their lives.

Powell, editor of the Independent.of Clarington, Ohio, writes: that he was taken sick with bronchitis and catarrhal fever, head was in a terrible condition, lungs were badly affected, being so tight and sore he could hardly breathe, and coughed almost Incessantly. For two months tried local physicians, took cough medicines and other remedies. Took three bottles of Pe-ru-na and was entirely cured. It is needless to give only the vaguest outline of the wonderful success which Pe-ru-na has met with in the cure of catarrh This sneerss Is du ,«♦ ntirery to the fact that Purn-na erndlcates the disease from the system, ins'ead of tern i poraryily reli-ving same disagreeable ■ symptom.

As a spring med cine -Pe-ru-na is a never-failing remedy. It cleanses the blood through digestion, and gives tone to by increasing the nutritive value of food. “Spring fever,” as it is sometimes called, which produces a tired out. sleepy feeling, and inability to do much mental and or physical work, is the result of a sluggish digestion, and no blood medicine will be ot any use whatever unless it is able to rectify the impaired digestion. Ths great popularity that Pe ru-na' has is due to the fact that all such cases is it at once corrects digestive derangements and enriches the blood by purifving this very important source of the vital fluid Send for book on spring medicines and spring diseases.

TO THE GRAND JURY. I . ' O. K. Anderson, Assistant Postmaster at Linn Grove, Is Bound Over. O. K. Anderson was yesterday brought before United States Commissioner Leonard, where he was given a bearing on the charge of robbing the postoffice at L>inn Grove, near Decatur. Anderson was arrested last Tuesday by Pustoffice Inspector Leatherman, of Cincinnati, and was brought to this city and placed in the county jail to await bis hearing. Anderson was the assistant postmaster at Linn Grove and is charged with issuing three money orders, each for $99 99. payable to one of his personal creditors, and that the orders were issued with attempt to fraud Anderson, it is charged, after taking the money from the sate. ieI ported that the place bad been robbed. An 'investigation was made, with the i result of Anderson’s arrest. , Commissioner Leonard bound him i over to await ti e action of the federal I grand jury, binding enough evidence to warrant a possible conviction.—Ft. Wijue Journal. A TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS Your correspondent left Adams county on Thursday night on the G. R. & I. tnldnignt train and arrived at Cincinnati at 7 o’clock a. m. There I boarded the vestibuled train on the Queeu & Crescent road, this by the way is as fine a train as can be found on any road. It isa so called limited train and makes very good time considering the mountainous country it passes through. There are 27 tunnels on the road and many short curves. For scenic views it can’t be beat. You make the trip of 830 miles in 25 hours. As 1 have been through this part of Kentucky and Tennessee some 30 years ago, I took particular notice of the country along the line and I must say that there is not as much push in the people there as I had expected. I found Lexington about the same as in ’62. It has of course grown some, having 21,567 inhabitants, otherwise the changes are not great. The next place, Nicholasville, Ky., 2,175 inhabitants, did not undergo much of a change for 30 years; in fact it seemed to me to be identical the same that I saw in 1863 High Bridge as its name implies is a veryhigh trestle work, the highest I ever saw, spanning a narrow valley over a small stream. /Arriving at Chattanuuoga we were naturally on the lookout or Lookout mountain and of course we found it at the same place we found it in ’64. Almost at the very summit there is a fine hotel connected by a road winding from the foot to the very summit of the mountain. The hotel is much frequented by tourists during the summer months and you may at all times of the year find old comrades there looking over the field of battle to locate some parts of the action. The other point of interest is the National cemetary, a beautiful resting place for the departed heroes and kept in good order by U ncle Sam. Fort Payne, Georgia, 389 miles south of Cincinnati, shows what a boom may accomplish in a short time. It is situated in a beautiful valley between two mountain ranges, but alas its glory was of short duration, Factories are vacated, except a basket factory, opera house and hotei'tnre empty and I was told this property was for sale at a very low price. Biimiugham, Ala., is a flourishing city of about 28,000 inhabitants. Meridian, Miss., quite a railroad center. Friday morning about 8 o’clock we came in sight of tlie Ponchartrain lake, an arm of the Gulf of Mexico and, crossed over si trestle bridge about eight miles iu length arriving at the depot iu New Orleans at 0:30.
