A gentleman who is in a position to be well posted told the Courier

that there has been a great increase j

in the wheat crop in this county dur

ing the past few years. Now more than enough wheat to supply the county is raised, and considerable is shipped way. He accounted for this by the fact that the farmers, formerly gave more attention to getting out timber, but now that they have found out that the soil is excellent for wheat they have given more attention to cultivating ityfthd it pays better than the spoke or huop-pole trade. He said that, the live stock of the count' has also improved greatly during the past ten years, and some very fine stock is being shipped iway, besides plenty for home market. Good horses, and buggies and spring wagons are now a common sight to be seen in the possession of farmers when they were seldom seen, outside of town, a few years ago. All of which goes to show that our farmers are more enterprising ana thrifty than they used to be. Again we call the attention to the fact it is necessary for those who owe us to call and settle.Newspaper cilices cannot be run on wind, even if said wind is sweetened with promise to liquidate in that near future which never seems to arrive. We hope the currency will be the forth coxing and that immediately we. need it, and we hope and believe that those indebted to us, now informed of our needs, will make

prompt settlement.

The census officers requests farmers thoughout the county to keep an account of the products of their farms and live stock during the peri on- so as to report the same correctly when the census olficers come around next year. It is also desirable that all physicians keep an accurate register of deaths during the year and books for this purpose will be sent out at onco to physicians for this purpose and thocs not recivinsT them can have them by application to the census office at Washington,

Nothing of importance has been done on the gas well this week.The 9 GO feet of two-inch pipe arrived last Friday, but before putting it in, n was decided to put down another "go-devil" us it was thought the charge of dynamite sent down a few du)rs before was not fully discharged, so, accordingly, another godevil was sent down, but it didn't go olf. As long as that stuff is in the bottom of the well, they cannot proceed with the piping, so some nltro-glycerinc has been sent for to give the thing a thorough blowing up.

The Progress wants to know: why

the commissioners awarded1 the

pauper practice to Drs. Simpson and Harris for $250 when Dr. Axtell offered to do it for $180. There

are two townships covered by the

contract and the two physicians get $125 apiece, which was the low

est bid. But all this is no- excuse

for the City Council squandering

hundreds of dollars a year; in the

matter of city printing, . to keep up

partisan newspapers.

The City School Trustees elected teachers for the comming school year. Misses Sarah Anderson and Eva Hall were dropped, snd their places given to Misses Maud Vanzant and Fi'udeneeArnott, Ilooia No. 9 was added, with Jdiss Idelle Bickneil as teacher. .

The Soldiers and CiUzens generally met at one o'clock in the afternoon, at K. of P. hall,and after music by drum crop, and some other exercises, the orator of the day was introduced, Chesley D. MeLachlan, 51. D. The oration was different from the usual style for decoration purposes, and was marked throughout by originality and splendid diction, that in other professions outside of his, would make a leading man of the doctor. It was a cool dispassionate review of the men who fought' the war, rather than the cause or conduct of it, he took the ground that a majority of the people of the Union do net appreciate the sacrailces of the men, who on the battle field saved the Republic, that living for a quarter ot a century in peace the7 san hardly realise that this powerful government was almost in the death throws of dissolution, and had it gone down, liberties death knell was sounded and the cause oi hcedom thrown back a Century over the civilized world. The only fault to the doctors oration was it was too short, but he has the hearty thanks of his Comrades for speech and 2,11 ether services rcndeied on same day. The Roll of Honor shows the names of 07 soldier dead, who volunteered within a radius of G miles of Marrodsburg, of this number 20 men were killed on the battlefield; or died ot wounds received in action, as the reading of the roll was progressing, the tears were seen to course down the checks of several in the audience, as some well loved name was called forth, who years ago, answered "here" to his Maker.
