Our History. — We have been shown some excellent lithographic portraits of prominent men who have appeared in historical works of Northern Indiana, and while Jasper county is being written we would like to see some of her le idipg men represented in thiv department. In Rensselaer alone there are several whose faces would grace the pages of any work, whose lives, interwoven with the history of the county, its progress and prosperity, makes it fitting they sho’d be so handed down to future generations; and we would liae, too, for the same reasons, to see every township in the county equally represanted in in its pages. Mr. C. L. Goodspeeed is here closing up the work preparatory to going to press, and it is to be hoped our citizens will lend their influence to this enterpriseThe County Institute is in successful operation, with the foilowing list es instructors and members at commencement: Instructors.
