The boys are becoming experts at climbing the greased pole. Miss Morgan, of Indianapolis, is visiting friends in Rensselaer. Will Harding returned home Wednesday from a visitto Buchanan Mich. The kiln of brick for Charley Starr’s new block was fired, last Saturday. Ike Tuteur wears his neck in a sling since his return from Lafayette. Ben Tuteur blows the Bass Drum in the new band. Ben has a big fist, and “he looms.” Morris Wolf, traveling salesman for A, Danziger, of Lafayette, was iu town Tuesday. Every citizen of Jasper county is interested in the success and welfare of the Agricultural and Mechanical Association. Consul Horace says there are no Mechanics in the Sentinel office. W e are very willing to admit an inspection of our work to determine that point. H. C. Smith is ready at all times to supply new pumps of best quality, and repair those already iu use that may need it.*; ' Terms as reasonable as any L. W. Watt, and Cloyd Luughry of Mouticello, and Jno Sehnekenberger, of Morocco, formerly of Monticello made us friendly visits during the week. ( Down with Competition !E. L. Mattingly, Fuuieesvillo, defies competition.in the sale of Flour, Salt and Groceries. Salt sold at $1 55 to $1 65, very best and cleanest. In ca r lots still lower. A heavy wind and rain storm passed over the southern portion of this county Sunday evening, doing, considerable damage to stock, blowing down fences, &c. There will bo a basket meeting at “Aker’s Grove” in Carpenter township on next Sunday, 15th. Preaching at 10J o’clock by J. F. Wilcox, and at 3 o’clock by H. Y. Reed. , Ex-Marshal Smoot left this place last Friday morning for a visitto his sister iu Mexico, Miami county, this Stute, and returned Tuesday, Miss Pegau, u niece accompanying him. A Basket Meeting will be held at Altar’s Mill, commencing Saturday July 14th at 4 o’clock, x*. M., and continuing through Sabbath following. Religious services will be conducted by Eld. H. B. Miller. A cordial invitation is extended to all. The “Dog in the Manger” of the Union goes for the Directors of the Jasper County Agricultural Society with a viin, and attributes to them the meanest of motives. They did not accept his bid, and he turns upon them and charges all kinds of carelessness, negligence, &c.

Had Mr. James been awarded the printing of the Association, no charges against its management would ever have proceeded from his sweet mouth. He is possibly indiscreet, but he is old enough to be permitted to nurse his personal grievances alone, and should not receive the sympathy he invokes. “It cannot be expected that he will care to comply with the provisions of a contract which he considehMEmerely baudinage.”—Horace the “bulldozed.” The contract we signed had reference to the work to be done, and the amount it was to be done for.—This Will be strictly complied with on our part. We have no reputation for making and breaking contracts. The prospective consul to Guano Is advertising us as working for less than cost of “raw material.” We are able to stand it, and suggest that, in accordance with this declaration of his Highness, it is to the interest of the peonle to get their work done where it can be had at such low rates and therefore invite them to send it in. As to'the manner iu which the work will be done we guarantee satisfaction. A “sharp Aleck” from Jordon township, Leonard W. Raymond, by name made applicarion at the clerk’s office on last Friday for a marriage License. After furnishing satisfactory evidence that himself and the girl whom he desired to marry were of a suitable age to enter into a civil coutraet. the clerk prepared the license, but the said “sharp Aleck” refused to take it. probably for the reason that he could not reach down into his Jeans and produce the necessary $1,25. Poor Horaee thinks we have “but a very youug interest in the people of the county.” Altho ugh young, it is sincere. We will not permit it to be measured by the number of dollars the people may place in our pocket. It shall not be devoted to sapping the bliod of the people with whom it has taken a young interest. Wo shall staiuf up to the interests of the people» and no price will bo fixed or char ged to secure the performance of that duty. e are not and never have been in the market, and so long as we follow the principles in which we have been trained, never shall.
