Will n. Glasscock Appointed Superintendent Blind Asylum, Yesterday Will H. Glascock, who is well and favorably known in our city and county, was by the trustees appointed Superintendent of the State Blind asylum at Indianapolis, to succeed E. E. Griffith, who recently resigned. He had a spirited contest, as there were six competitors, chief of whom were W. S. Ellis, deputy Secretary of State, from Madison Co., and J. H. Neighbors, of Rockville. The position pays $2500 a year, and the superintendent and family have elegant apartments at the institution, with other perquisites, including horses, carriages, etc. The position is an exsellent one and Mr. Glascock will fill it worthily. We are glad he got it, and wish him success. He will take charge at once.

Republican Meeting at Cleveland. Last Saturday night was the regular monthly meeting of the Jackson township Republican club at Cleveland. J. W. Fessler, of Indianapolis, the Republican Committeeman for the 7th district was billed to address the meeting and the attendance was quite large, over 200 being present, or about twice as many as could get in the school-house. A large contingent from Blueriver township, under the leadership of that hustling candidate for Clerk, Barclay Binfyrd, was present headed by a drum corps. Mr. Fessler made a most excellent speech which was highly appreciated, he is well posted and has a pleasing delivery. Judge W. H. Martin being present was called on, but the Jndge simply told his friends that he was glad to see them, and wanted to shake hands with everybody, but that he felt it out of place, being a candidate for the Judgship, to make a partisan political speech, which sentiment, was approved by the andience. W. S. Montgomery, of the REPUBLICAN, was then called out, and spoke for a time on the issues of the day. The meeting was certainly a fine one, and shows that the Jackson township Republicans are wide awake and will send iu a good report.

Samuel Walker 1st prize, $100, raised from 10 bushel seed 389 bushel 20 pound. Wm. Fnrry 2nd prize, $50, raised from 10 bushel seed 323 bushel 34 pound.

Asa Vandyne 3rd prize, .$10, raised from 10 bushel seed 321 bushel 30 pound. Jas. L. Merrill 4th prize, $10, raised from 10 bushel seed 296 bushel 40 pound.

T. E. Hill 5th prize, $10, raised from 10 bushel seed 204 bushel 30 pound. Henry S. Wales 6tli prize, $10, raised from 13 bushel seed 223 bushel 40 pound.

M. L. Frank 7th prize $10, raised from 10 bushel seed 217 busbel 46 pounds. There was over 500 bushel of Senora wheat sowed In Hancock county in the fall of 1893, by about fifty progressive farmers, the average yield from same being over 23 bushel per acre, and in some localities it was badly damaged by the May frost, or the average would have been much better. We predict that the farmers who sov? the Senora wheat this year will realize better results than from last year's sowing.

In the Senora wheat contests in the three counties of Hancock, Henry and Rush, the prize winners of Hancock easily distanced their competitors. In this county the 1st prize winner had 369-bushel, and the 2nd, 323, while in Henry county 298 bushel took 1st prize, dnd 296 bushels 2nd prize. Rush fell below. That shows Hancock county is right iu it when it comes to fertility of soil and raising lots of wheat. Our other prize winuers were also ahead of those in Henry county. There are lots of disgusted farmers on the Sonora wheat question, who feel that giving up half the yield per acre 'or the seed wheat furnished for said acre is rather a big price. As the men who furnished the seed offered a dollar a bushel for the farmer's share, why there was not much room for kicking, as they would get as much per acre as when they got the entire crop ana sold at 45 cents. The above yield shows that it pays to take special pains with ground and fertilize it, as the yield is so much more abundant.

On the grounds that Samuel and Geo. Walker divided the seed wheat, and each raised a field of the Sonora wheat, Wm. Furry, of Sugarcreek township claims that he«is entitled to the first prize, instead of the second, as he raised more than any any other on* man.
