Democratic Sentinel, Volume 5, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 June 1881 — Keener Items. [ARTICLE]

Keener Items.

We take advantage of the present opportunity 7 to inform the readers of the Sentinel of the progress of our township in the last five years. Five years ago Keener township was nothing more than a wilderness—no roads no school houses of importance, and no nothing of any consequence; but to day we can boast of five good school houses, and them pretty well furnished; of tolerable good roads also a post office, and some of the best citizens in Indiana.

The new store under the superin tendency of J. F. Bruner and Bentley, is iu full blast. They are doing a good business, and Jure gentlemen who will be appreciated by those who deal with them.

G. B. Antrim, of our township, is teaching his first term of school, in Union township, this spring. G.B. is, in the school business as in every thing else, a success.

M. M. Tyler and J. F. Antrim, having dissolved partnership in the farming business, it will hereafter be carried on in the name of J. F., alone. A new buggy, did you say! Why! W. H. Tyler, ex-trustee, came sailing into Keener the other day in a buggy which would make one think of Lihu of old.

Willis McCellv and family, of Union, was visiting at Dr. Antrim’s last Sunday. DESTRUCTIVENESS. June 6. 1881
