The efiorts of Postmaster McPheeters in the way of securing subscriptions for the artesian well fund, are commendable. He has a guarantee of about $800, and is in correspondence with parties as to probable expenses, etc, of sinking the well.
From the report of the Indiana Bureau of Statistics we learn that the' wheat crop of Monroe county was
49,347 bushels in 1880, and 16,962
bushels in 1881. Here is a falling off of two-thirds of the wheat crop,
according to this report. Wc are of the opinion itiat the "Bureau of Sta
tistics" is a fraud and the sooner it
is abolished, and the expense of its.
support saved, the better.
