Countj" Superintendent Mount. The election of a inau to preside over the county schools, Monday, brought out as' candidates, J. j,. Mount, A. L. Case, James Royalty, DcWitt Q. Chappell, John Blaze, Michael Heathmau and M. B. Thomas, (Democrats), John Whitman, (Republican) and Lewis Loveless (Neutral.) The Democratic Trustees in caucus nominated Prof. J. L. Mount, and he received the full support of the tive Trustees, while the four Republican Trustees voted for John Whitman, present incumbent. A good deal of interest was taken in the‘election, and Prof. Mount's victory is the more marked. He is eminently qualified for the position, and the educational interests of Pike county are safe in his hands. It goes without saying, that he is a Democrat. ^He will assume the duties of his office to-day. At the November session, 1884, of the Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. of Indiana, it was declared that Monday, June 15.1885, should be set apart as the day on which the order should pay a tribute of respect to deceased Odd Fellows—“those who were born as we were born, and W'ho have died as we must die.” In accordance with this declaration, Pacific Lodge, No. 175, I. O. O. F., will decorate with flowers and evergreens on that day the graves ofitheir departed brothers. This pleasant and appropriate duty will bo fully observed here by the fraternity. J. II. Hainan], statistical agent, places the area sown to wheat fully 10 per cent, less than last year, or about 2,430,000 acres. Reports from all sections of the State say farmers have plowed up much of their ground, the condition being so poor that they prefer to put the ground to corn to raising one-third of a wheat crop. The condition is 75 per cent, of an average crop, and compared with last year’s crops shows a probable yield oif 23,621,OCX) bushels. It is thought, however, that 22,000000, would be nearer the figuife. : Decoration Day ceremouies were estopped by rain. Merchant Post, No. 15, G. A. U. had made arrangements, but the programme could not be carried out. In the afternoon, between showers of rain, members of the Post went to the graves of the heroic dead and deposited flowers. Softly may the earth rest upon their remains; ves, as gently as do the flowers placed their by comrades in arms. With the enumeration of school,, children at 495, our population, according to the usual proportion ! to every school child, shows a great increase over the census report of 1880, which gave Petersburg’s population as 1,193. The report of the enumeration of school children this year shows an increase over last year of lifty-oue. According to this report our population is about 2,000. C. A. Slaybaek has been running the line this week from Newberry up the river to where the canal crosses that stream.

Independence Day. The liberty-loving people of onr town and county should bestir themselves, tor the glorious fourth is drawing near. "The town.people should forget the cares of business and the scarcity of money, pul on a smile that would shame the Jersey Lily, and with one out burst of “enthusiasm” give vent to ourpent-up “patriotism.” The thousands of Pike county citizens of the townships named after grand and historic men—Washington. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Clay, Marion and Logan, linkiug the past to present—the people of these townships together with the sister townships of Lockhart and Patoka, should all have a rip-roaring, high old time here on the fourth of July. The young ladies and mothers, “sisters, cousins, and aunts,” should lend their graceful presence to the scene, and in white linen dresses, with ribbons and flowers, make glad the patriotic heart of the lover of the true and the beautiful. Let arrangements be made for music, rnuci merry-making and speaking on that day. By all means let us have a grand, old-fashioned celebration, barbecue and feast of the lovers of liberty. Begin at once if we want to make a success of it. Keep up with the precession and sustain the reputation of the town and county. Interesting Relics. J. J.

This poisonous weed lias killed a large number of cattle in Kansas and other Western States and Territories, and is creating great excitement among cattle and horse men. We have,received, through W. II. Russell (advance attache of Barrett’s show), who is in that territory, a sample of the loco, which can he seen by our farmer friends who call at this office. From the Kansas Live Stock Journal we clip the following: Mr, McKenna lost two tine yearlings Sunday: and while some of his neighbors were inclined to attribute their death to black-leg. Mr. MeKanna opened them and found the stems of loco in their stomachs, and as they died within a few hours after showing signs of sickness and with evidences of poisoning, liejustiy concludes the cause to be loco, lie states that his range has considerable of this fatal weed on it. and he will attempt to eradicate it by grubbing it out with a" hoe wherever fouud. That loco is gaining ground here is quite evident, und that something must he done to head it off is equally apparent. How best todo this is perhaps a question for our State legislature. It is the opinion of many stockmen that a large number of deaths attributed to blackleg, would upon a thorough examination and analysis of the conu-ut- < Jthr- stomach, after death, show Hrtr-4hu.seJ* have been poisoning from eat/fig loetpSBGeuerall) this loco is the first green thinganthe spring, and it is said that domestic unimaissoon acquire a taste for it as a drunkard looks for whisky. Mr. MeKanna states that the governments of both New and Old Mexiep pav a botintr of 35 cents per. pound for dry loco, and that in the spring of the year -‘greasers” by the bund foils are engaged in digging it up, roots and all, and drying it. Should.the spread ofloco continue, it will be necessary for the stockmen to take some deflnate action in the matter, that proper legislation may be secured in Older to protect the live stock interests of the State in this particular.

Good Management. Hard ivi rk, well wrought with proper tact has a wonderful power and influence; as is plainly evinced by the piesent efficient management of the Ohio aud Mississippi Railway, having hv a good Judgment aiid careful measures, succeeded in restoring the property from the courts to its rightful owners, with a wise foresight the administration has curtailed expenses to correspond with the anticipated depression in business, and has already made a record the wisdom of which will be most apparent in the future. The road bed and equipment have, however, been not only kept up to the proper standard, lj>ut so improved that to-day the 4iO. & M” stands pre-eminent as the best, most direct and popular line in the territory it traverses, as well as throughout" the country. The credit for these results is due largely to its {’resident and General Manager, Mr] \V. W.
