When we say that Fortville is forging to the front we have foundation for our assertion. The assessors report shows that Fortville has made an increase of $7,680 in her assessed value, while Greenfield has lost $7,305 and New Palestine made a loss of $27,029. Wben we reflect that Fortville has made the only increase of any town in the county, it makes us feel proud.—Fortville Sun.

Two new teachers were elected for the city schools last night. Miss Vaehti Sinford, a graduate of Earlham College and for the past two years a teacher in a college at Damascus, Ohio. She comes highly recommended. Harvey L. Thomas, who for the past two years ha3 been principal of the New Palestine schools, was selected as the other. He has a high rank among the teachers of county and we have no doubt both selections are good ones.

Will's brother, Clarence, who lives in Chicago and has a host of friends had arranged everything for them so that their stay was one continual round of pleasure. They will make a more extended tour later. They will make their home with Mr. Hough's parents, Hon. Wm. R. Hough and wife on W. Main st. We welcome them home and wish them abundant joy.

The ladies of the Helping Hand Society of the Christian church are under many obligations to Mr. M. V. Wiggins for a donation of five dollars to their church furnishing fund. When it is known what these ladies have undertaken tie public will understand how they appreciate such donations. This society consists of only thirty members and they pledged fifteen hundred dollars toward »the new church—five hundi-ed for)building fund, which they have already paid, and one thousand toward the furnishing fund a part of which they already have enhanced. The most of this money has been made by their Saturday sales of bread, pies, cakes, &c., and they feel very thankful to those who have patronized them in their sales and will continue to do their best to give satisfaction to their patrons*

Let all give something and make this a glorious celebration.

William Ro'ii, who has been on trial at ShelbyY.JM for stealing clover seed from Dr. C. A. Robinson, sprung a surprise on the large audience yesterday. Just as the judge had concluded his charge to the jury, Roan arose and said: "Judge and gentlemen of the jury, I am guilty and ask the mercy of the court." This was quite a surprise to those present, as many thought be would go clear. The Judge sentenced him to two years in the penitentiary.

"Johnny," he of the Hancock Democrat, has little Equibs all through the co'urns of that sheet, calling attention to what he says is a deficiency in the water supply. While it is true that there is a scarcity of water in the evaLing, it is due to tbe the fact that everybody is trying to sprinkle lawns. If there is a scarcity of water why is it that there is plenty of water during the day and up till 5 o'clock in the evening? Perhaps Johny is doing like a great many other people—turning water iu the hose and letting it run all day. This kind of work is being done by many people, and should be stopped.

Senator Thomas K. Mull, of Rush county, has gone to Europe for tbe benefit of his declining health.—Greenfield Democrat.

There, is a painful and habitual constipation of facts in the Democrat's remarks about Senator Mull, which shows that our neighbor hasn't got good-natured since its last fall's gorgeous walloping. It is Senator Mull'd brother George that has gone to Europe, and not the Senator.— Rushville Republican

The disadvantage of the bloomer costume is di3hed up by an exchange in the following amusing style. When the the breezy, blooming bloomeis are universally the go, how will the tailors press creases in them, I should like to know? When tke baby's head is nodding and wants to take a nap, how can mamma lull her darling in her bifurcated lap? How can Bridget shoo the chickens with no skirt to flop or fling, when the creatures go a grubbing in the garden in the spriLg? But the question most annoying that our speculations catch, can she vie with men wheu she goes to strike a match.

Blue River P.:rk, which for years has been a disgrace to this community and to all persons who have been connected with it, has opened out in full blast and for mouths now Morristown must suffer from its existence. Toughs and reprobates from neighboring cities and towns and the country round, gather there every Sunday and e*ch one seems to try to see if he can outdo the others in vice and immorality. The excursionists often try to place the blame of the disturbances upon others who come there and we will admit that they are occasionally not far wrong. A few people here sometimes wander astray as well as other people. Blue River Park is not a safe place to be seen on Sunday.—Morristown corresponin S he by vi a

Greenfield claims 1561 enumerated school children, or four less than the combined enumeration of Newcastle and Knightstown. Verily, figures do not He, but in this case the presumption is that the returns in that town have been padded, and that for a purpose.—Knightstown Banner.

The above [squib, coming as it does from a village which has always been jealous of Greenfield, shows that tbe editor of the Banner will not only stoop to lymg, but will also put the charge of dishonesty Jagainst tbe officer who made the enumeration. Mr. Jehn Walsh, who made the enumeration, is a man far above reproach, and would not stoop to such a thing as padding the enumeration He has done this work for a number of years, and to the entire satisfaction of the school board. Besides putting tbe charge against Mr. Walsh, the above article also criminates the school board, in that it says they would sanction the padding of the report. The Banner should be careful how it puts such charges against men who are no doubt in as high standiug as the editor of that country sheet.

Ghosts in a Fortville Residence. Special to Tlie Indianapolis Journal. FORTVILLE, IKD., Juue 12 —An alleged haunted house iu the east end of town is causing considerable excitement, and the tenants cannot be induced to remain another night in the premises. Several occupants heretofore have removed very suddenly, and rumors of remarkable occurrences gaiued ciiculatiou. The manifestations consists of footfalls, doors slamming. dishes aud crockery being crash'd together, pounding on the walls and floor, noises of tearing paper and muslin, and lights move up and down the stairway without any apparent agency. The present occupants have lived there about three weeks and claim that the trouble was first noticed the second night, and that it has grown worse each night, and on last Sunday night they became so alarmed that they called in neighbors, who remained until morning with them. They assert that the coverings were violently jerked off their beds and tbeir hair was pulled, and yet no one was visible in the room. Parties have previously watched in the house, and failed to see any thing out of the ordinary.-,-

The Tribune's defense of the City Couucil in Friday's issue is all right. Our City Council is made up of good, capable and honest men. Tbey have all made a success in the business th it they have followed. That tbey have the best interests of our city at heart no one who is informed in the matter can doubt. Th.-it hc-y are ambitious to improve and increase the advantages of the city is manifest in their every act. Greenfield is today better known and better advertised than it ever was before, and noth ing has done more to bring this about than the public spirit manifested by our City Council. The people of the city are all proud of our flue walks, new buildings and attractive residences. It is doubtful if there is a city in the state the size of Greenfield in which there is so much biiilding being done at this time. Thisdoes not indicate that the city is on the verge of ruin. The city of Greenfield is a good city. It has good ollleers and they are backed by good people, who have confidence In (hem and their official act*.
