Physicians lately licensed by the County Clerk: David II. Daniels; The Cincinnati Medical College of Medicine and Surgery, Ciucinuati, Ohio. It. R. Kime, State University of Michigan. Thomas Ferguson, Keo-kuk-Iowa, Medical College, one full session. Joliu Hawkins, University of New York City, the AylettMedical and Surgical Institute, also of Belle vue Hospital, N. Y. Win. H. Link, The Medical College of Ohio. James R. Adams, The Medical College of Ohio. AVilliam Keplcy, proof of ten years’ practice. Thomas W. Basinger, the Kentucky School of Medicine. John T. Smith, proof of ten year’s practice. The new medical law brings out the records of the physician. Dr. W. 11. Link’s record is as follows: He is a graduate of Hanover college; studied two years with Dr. Byers; attended three courses of lectures, one in Pliiladelphi, and two in Cincinnati; graduate of Medical College of Ohio, Cincinnati; practiced one and one-half years with Dr. Byers. Dr. Link has a special like for surgery. He has been very successful in his practice. By the way, he thiuks the new medical law will be productive of much good. When Jake Covert, of Evansville, was in town a few days ago, he saw Squire Johu White « n the street and approached hint with the remark: “Though I do not know your name, your face is familiar to mo—were you not in the 24th Indiana.” “I certainly wfft,” said the Squire. The two old veterans held a reunion then and there. They both were in the same regiment. Mr. Covert had not forgotten Mr. White’s face though over a score of years had passed since last they “messed” together. We suppose the Washington Daily Item is not aware that big feet is a stamp of intellect and stability in young ladies, and his “whopper” in a last week’s issue, if true, would be very complimentary to our young ladies, whom be says have feet which could be with difficulty crowded into a town lot. It would be a great feat for a Washiq^tn girl to do that.

Tlie Coming Fair. In company with Treasurer E. I*. 1‘ichardsou, of the Fair Association, a Dkmockat reporter visited the fair grounds mi Tuesday. We found the energetic Superintendent, Samuel II. Stuckey, at work with a force of men, clearing the grounds, putting the track in good condition,-etc. The uew amphitheatre, 210 feet in length, has just been completed ; it is a decided improvement, and will prove a great accommodation. The seating capacity is large, and beneath the seats, the 200 feet of space is utilized for ten refreshment stands, 10x12 each, and 100 feet of space for the display of agricultural products. Five of the stands have been taken, at $10 a piece. Other important improvements have been made about the grounds, the most prominent of which is the erection of a stable, with twentf box stalls for the accommodation of the owners of fast horses. This will be of great benefit and convenience to horsemen, who will be here in great numbers. The traok is being put iu fine condition, and the lovers of fast stock will sec fine exhibitions of speed. All the departments promise to be well filled this year, and with the improvements and the enlarged premiums the efficient management have extended, our people can look for the ■best fair ever held in the county, as regards both attendance and display.

The Washing Machine Men. The patent .washing machine nieu have been operating in Dubois county. It is likely they are the same who were here last month, for one of whom, it will bo remembered, there was a warrant issued bn the'complaint of tho Messrs. Millers, of Agusta, who alleged fraud. The machine men disappeared about the time the warrant was issued. The Jasper Courier, says: “They offered to discount $1,450 worth of notes 25 per cent., but found no biters.” A special from Jasper to the Evansville Journal says: “A gang of patent washing machine men, about a dozen iu number, have been canvassing Dubois, Pike, and other counties in southern Indiana during the past month. Since they have disappeared it has transpired that they have been taking notes of farmers purporting to be given for two fifty and five dollars, which have been changed soasto read “two hundred and fifty” and “five hundred-’ dollars. The fellows are now supposed to bo operating over in southern Illinois.” P. W. Egan writes from Daviess county to the Western Plowman as follows: “Asa hug? swindling game has developed iu this quarter of the mundane sphere, I deem it niv duty to make it knowu. Two men call at a farmer’s house representing themr selves to be photographers, and agreeing to take a photograph of his house and surroundings for the sum of 50 cents, no money to be paid until photograph arrives, and of course the farmer has to sign the agreement to forward the money upon receipt of photograph. When in the course of a few days the victimized farmer is looking for his ‘home on paper,’ he receives notice there is a note of his in bank: ‘Please settle.’ He then sees the magnificent portrait of his charming little cottage.” A strong opposition has grown up in the cast against written examinations. It orginated in Massachusetts last spring and is already agitating the minds of teachers in western Pennsylvania, and will in all probability get well into the Mississippi valley by fall. It is claimed that written examinations test the mechanical, and that is all; that habits of mind, strength, growth, culture, can not be seen or estimated by any such process. John II. O’Neall was in Greene county this week arranging tor a right-of-way lor the new railroad from the county line to the I. & V. road. Ziba and Tom Graham made the first shipment on the E. W. B. railroad from north of Washington, they having loaded and shipped two cars of wheat from Zibe’s farm five miles north of town.—Daviess County Democrat. Deputy Sheriff Frank Scott returned from Greeneastle, Sunday with Jarrett Bolin (insane), where he had escaped to from the Insane Asylum at Indianapolis. Bolin was pronounced incurable, and an order for his release had been sent to the authorities here about the time of l)is escape. He was sent to the asylum two years ago. Hon. Frank B. Posey is mentioned by some of our exchanges for the Itepublican nomination for Congress in this district.. Our distinguished fel-low-townsman was deserving of something worthy of his ability and service while his party was in power, and he certainly is not willing to be sacrificed iu this hopeless racer

Ncarlv all of the Goodspeed history force will be here at work this week, when they have completed their labors in Perry county, where they are delivering their history of Warrick, Spencer and Perry counties, which is spoken of very highly by bur exchanges from those counties. A smooth complexion can be had by every lady who will use Parker’s Tonic. For promptly regiilatiug the liver and kidneys and purifying the blood, there is nothing like it, and this is the reason why it so quickly removes pimples and gives a rosy bloom to the cheeks. There is soon to be quite a change in the location of tho physiciaus ifi the county.' Dr. W. II. Link has gone to Otwoil; Dr. It. It. Kime, of Union, will remove here; Dr. John Ward, of Princetou, will go to Union, and Dr. AVilliamson, of that place, will remove to Colorado. Petersburg is going foiward rapidly, while the neighboring towns are “progressing backward” in all that goes to make up a live aud prosperous town. Ihe newspapers ot neighboring cities will do well to make a note of this fact. Henry Gordon has removed his stock of watches, jewelry, etc., to Adams & Son’s drug store, where lie lias fitted up a fine display. Give him a call when wauting goods in his liue or repair! ug ueatly done. Any ono wanting a suit of clothing, a nice hat, or anything in the line of gents furnishing goods, will do well to call on Montgomery, Hammond & Hudson, ns they have just received a new stock. Fritz Hisgen will open about the 31st a first-class billiard parlor in the basement of Wm.Hisgen'snew building, on Main street. It will be a fine resort for lovers of the game. Wk WILL SELL ALJ. SPRING AND Sitmmkb Goods at Cost to IIkduce Stock. Montgomery, Hammond & Hudson.
