Postmaster Murray Held an Odd School at School House Saturday.

Twenty-nine applicants for census enumerator took the examination at Rensselaer last Saturday. Some of the applicants in this county took the examination at other places when it involved less travel to reach at place where the examinations were-held and thd^Mt. Ayr applicants were examined here. It was decided to hold the “exams” at the school house owing to the desk facilities. It was an odd school, with pupils ranging from 21 to 22 years of age up to 50 or 60, and the examination was no snap, for it required most of the applicants to put in from 3 to 4 hours, which was the maximum time allowed.' Postmaster Murray sent in the papers to the census supervisor and they will be graded and from this examination will be selected the enumerators for this section.
