The clerk and city’ civil engineer reported that there were 639 houses in the city upon which the owners had placed no numljers as ordered to do by the council. A house to house inspection was ordered and the names are to be ascer.ained. the numliers put up and the expense charged to the property holder and

A Wheat Feed Experiment. Editor Banner Times:
Having heard a great deal of talk about which was the best way to feed wheat to get the best re suits, I thought I would test the matter for myself, having six shouts of about equal weight. I put four of the hogs up in close pens and weighed them separately, and then weighed each one of them a bushel of grain, fed and watered them three times a day just about what they would eat, with the following results. No. 1 weighed in, 1'td on ground wheat mixed in water, 68 lbs; weighed out 86 lbs., a gain of 18 lbs. No. 2 weighed in 73 lbs; weighed out 90 ihs, a gain of 17 Ihs; fed on wheat soaked 24 to 48 hours. No 3 weighed in 75 lbs; weighed out 86 lbs; u gain of 1 1 lbs, on cooked wheat. No. 4 weighed in 73 lbs; weighed out 84 lbs; a gain of 11 lbs; fed on one bushel of shelled corn; it took them from II to 14 days to get away with their bushel of feed. I am not satisfied with the result of the cooked feed experiment, and I would state that I just poured scalding water over it and covered it up in e tight vessel, one and a half gallon at a time, and there-

Charge for instruments not to exceed two dollars per month. The matter was referred to the judiciary committee ami city attorney. Mr. Bridges moved that the telegraph and telephone poles in the city be painted black at the bottom and white at the top. Others ol the council suggested that they wait until after the election and paint them red. Mr. Bridges thought they would have enough things to paint red before they reached the poles. There was no second to the motion and the paint
scheme died early.

In the settlement of the FiskUndcrwood case in circuit court where the late lamented W. S. Cox I forged a telease there were numerous funny incidents which went to show how cautious some men become after them have been roughlydealt with at the hands of a swin dler. Neither of the men would sign anything until it had been carefully read to him and great caution was used throughout. An attorney at the bar plucked Mr. Newnam to one side and in order to console him advised him when lie needed any business of that sort transacted he should employ a good honest lawyer. It is said Mr. Newuain thought the advice good but innocently inquired where he could find that kind of an attorney. The | modesty of the attorney prevented
$ 25 oo j his presenting himself and perhaps
the inquirer is still in doubt as to where to locate “a good honest lawyer.” This, of course, casts no reflection on the Putnam county
bar.

Buggies lined the street, and many people were seated around on the convenient brick piles and stacks of lumber. Promptly at two o’c'ock Elder A. H.

They saug “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” after which Rev. R. M. Dillon, of the Presbyterian church, read the scriptuie lesson, followed by Rev. Fisk in prayer, the latter taking i he place of Dr. Town on the pro-!

After more singing Hon. I). E.' Williamson made a short speech, in which he described some of the ea-lv struggles of the church and their primitive places of meeting. He referred feelingly to five of those holding places of honor on the platform who were members of the ehureh when the old church was built. They were Mrs, B. F. Hays, Mrs. J. 1). Bence, Mrs. J. G.

It was full of interesting sta tistics a.nl history, and closed as follows: “Our gathering here at this hour is an occasion for rejoicing and thanksgiving. Our prayers have been answered and our loudest hones are being realized. As a ehureh we feel profoundly grateful for the words of cheer and Die substantial aid given us bv the good people of Greeneastle and the friends of our blessed Master. The building in process of ctinstruetion, while not extravagant, we believe will be handsome in appearance, sufficiently commodious for all purposes, and highly creditable to the church and to our city. We trust it may prove a great blessing to our entiie community. The contract price in round numbers is $9000, and through the push and perseverance of our skillful contractor, Mr. George Heinzman, we hope soon to announce the day of dedication, the greatest day of the feast, and to be able to say to you, ‘Come, for all things are ready.’ ” I he deposit of records and laying of the corner-stone f.
