Business livery at A. J. Uncapher's and J. N. Monroe's. Concert at the Grovertown school house last Saturday night. Our friend, F. Yeager, has all the schools of Oregon township in session. Farmers are busy preparing for their spring work. Wheat looks better this spring than it has for a number of years. Preaching at the Grovertown school house last Sunday at 10 o'clock a. m. The citizens of Grovertown and sur rounding vicinity met at the Grover town school house on Sunday March 31st at 9 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of organizing a Sabbath school. Mr. Editor:—The following is a brief statement of the Oregon town ship election: For Trustee, Francis Yeager (Dem ocrat) 80 votes, Samuel Koontz (Re publican) 50 votes, giving F. Yeager a majority of 30 votes; for Assessor, Philip Groshans (Democrat) 82 votes, G.T. Butler (Republican) 40 votes, Spencer R. Brinkley (Independent) 10 votes, giving Philip Groshans a ma jority of 32 votes; for Justices of the Peace, W. C. Brown (Dem.) 71 votes, John Wolfrom (Dem.) 72 votes, W. W. Clark (Rep.) 51 votes, Jessa Fletcher (Rep.) 50 votes, giving W.C Brown a majority of 20 votes, and John Wol from a majority of 22 votes; for Con stables, J. H. Kaser (Dem.) 80 votes, Martin Monroe (Dem.) 80 votes, Thos. B. Rowell (Rep.) 50 votes, John Wood burn (Rep.) 50 votes, giving J. H Kaser and Martin Monroe a majority of 30 votes. The above statement shows that Oregon township elected the entire Democratic ticket for the first time in eight years. We, as Democrats return our sincere thanks to our liberal Republican friends for their co-operation with us in helping to elect our township ticket, ANONYMOUS. At the election on Monday last when the vote was counted out the re sult was unexpected to a great many of our citizens, as it was almost the Unanimous opinion that Mr. Gibbs would be elected, and such also was our opinion. The greenback ticket, however, triumphed, and though we would have wished it otherwise, we extend to the successful candidate, J. A Garner, our congratulations, and hope he will make a good and efficient officer, as we have no doubt he will. It does us good to hear of the elec tion of our old friends Benj. Dunkel berger of Jackson, and Frank Yeager of Oregon townships, to the office of township Trustees. They are both sound Democrats, and honest and worthy men.Men who will be a tower of strength to the Democratic party.
