Alta meeting of the board of
supervisors held on the 18th, Deputy
Sheriff Maurice P. Hennessy was APP
pointed sheriff to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of his brother,
Thomas J. Hennessy. The appoint
ment is eminently satisfactory, and
has met with the general approval
of the community. At the same
meeting, the board accepted the
resignation of Steward Blanchard
and appointed F. L. Minkler of
Edgewood, to succeed him. The Sc
lection is very apt one, as there is
no person in Delaware county bet
ter qualified, or more favorably sit
uated to accept the position than
Mr. Minkler.
The South Bend Ind papers
say that the sign board is to disap-
pear from the rural districts of nor
thern Indiana and southern Michi-
gan, the death knell to this form of
advertising having been sounded by
the farmers Of that vicinity. They
have effected an organization, the
duty of which is to see that every
sign is removed from their premises
and to prosecute merchants who in
the future trespass on their property.
The farmers claim that the signs
not only mar the beauty Of the coun
try, but that the advertisers in plac.
ing them ruin young trees and break
their fences. A resolution adopted
by the rural residents requests the
merchants to do their advertising in
the newspapers, which, they state, is
the only correct medium by which
to catch the people. -Maquoketa

During the past month numer-
Gus mentions have been made an
nouncing the departure of the col
lege students. These mentions
have by no means included all the
students from this town who are at
tending college, and we have there
fore compiled a list which we think
comprises every student attending
school from Manchester and vicinity.
This list contains nearly fifty
names, and every citizen should feel
proud that such a delegation should
go from city Of three thousand
population. A perusal of the schools
shows that the quest for knowledge
extends from New Jersey to Cali
fornia, and that Manchester has re-
representatives. in the schools Of six
different states. The following is
the complete list: AT Grinnell, Percy
Strickland, Harry Seeds and Emma
Suckow; at Cornell, Mt. Vernon, Ia,
