Tom Crockett, tke Democratic candidate for Assessor, stopped a rebel bullet at the battle of Chicamauga. His comrades claim for him a good record. His competitor not only did not go to the front, but the Republican, his party organ, says that he gave “a solemn promise that he wou d remain at home.” Choose ye between them.

Mrs. E. P. Honan g es to Chicago again Monday to buy more goods. We are bound to be the leaders in Millinery. Hemphill & Honan. The unregenerated and unrepentant Copperhead organ of the Democracy of Jwspei* count lirs the unmitigated gall to sneer at H. W. Porter, the Republican candidate for Assessor in Marion township, as a ‘“stay-at-home” during the war.” —Republican. And our “‘unregerated and unrepentant” and “trooly loil stat-at-home” neighbor has the unmitigated gall to tell a bare-faced yai n in the premises. We didn’t sneer at Porter for staying at home.— He did only what the masses of your party did. You remember, George, you beat us regularly and unmercifully at the ballot box until the “cruel war was over.” Had there not been so many stay-at-homes in your party, you would not have scored so many unparalleled Republican triumphs in the elections. We think we are too fair to sneer at Mr. Porter for following the example set him by his party. We did sne-r at Enaction of your convention. Your party has the “gall” to claim that it is the exclusive patron and friend of the soldier. Mr. Daugherty announced his desire for the trusteeship; appealed to the (professed sentiment of love for the soldier. He was g veil the “grand bounce,” and one of the numerous “stay-at-homes” was placed in nomination. Messrs. Burnham and P ssons asked the nomination for assessor, and plead their services in the army. No go. Mr. Porter, unannouced, and who, the Republican says, gave “a solemn promise that he would remain at home,” bad the nomination thrust upon him. ? ,

We have bought Mr. Farden’s stock at such figures as to enable us to sell at his closing-out prices. Hemphill & Honan. “Now we propose to seliMr. Porter’s war record before our readers, in its true light,” says the Republican, to-wit: He “gave a solemn promise that he would remain at home.’* That’ll do; but Mr. Porter ought to break your “unregenerated and unrepentant”,, neck for giving him such a war record as that. Selling all our Dry Goods at cost to close them out. Come and get a bargain. Hemphill &H. .■«»»,♦ “Jap” Kenton has been reared in the midst of this people. All admit his thorough fitness for the office of Trustee. He is well and f avorably known, vote for him. T. Major Bitters, when editor of the Rensselaer Republican engag-

ed in the manufacture of a war record for our friend Gen. Thompson ; but our neighbor’s effort in the interestfof Mr. Porter, over. shadows that of Bitters. Having closed out our entire stock to Hemphill & Honan at such prices as will enable them to duplicate the greatly reduced prices at which we were closing out our stock, we bespeak for them a liberal share of patronage. We will remain for a time with them, and will be glad to meet as many of our customers as were pie sed with our treatment and will insure as liberal prices and as fair treatment as when the stock was in our own control. T. J. Farden. A destructive fire occurred at Fowler Tuesday morning last at 3 o’clock. " liree frame buildings, belonging to Moses Fowler, of Lafayette, were destroyed ;loss 85,000, no insurance. Snyder & Crandal’s hardware store, loss $7,000; insured in the iEtna for $2,000. Minnie McMurtrie’s restaurant was insured for S4OO, wnicli nearly covers her loss. Grand Army hall, loss SSOOO. The townn hall and records were also destroyed.— Cause of the fire unknown. The town was visited by a similar fire only a week ago. / By a mistake of the Sheriff of Vigo county, CJiarles Roberts, the Parke county desperado, was taken to the penitentiary on Friday night He has been returned to Terre Haute but not in time to escape losing his hair and mustache on entering the penitentiary.

Rensse aer versus Leopold.

A decision lias been reached in the Supreme Court upon the well known appeal cases growing out of the action of the Town Board in narrowing Van Rensselaer street, and assessing benefits, upon parties affected. The case of A. Leopold was made the test case. It was tried in the circuit court, before Judge Huff, who decided, upon technicalities, that the action of the Board was illegal The case was carried to the Supreme Court, aud last week that body rendered its decision reversing the ruling of Judge Huff. The following is the published abstract of the opinion, rendered by J udee Mitchell: “12356. Town of Rensselaer v. Abraham Leopold. Jasper C. C. Reversed. Mitchell, J.—(l.) Narrowing a street in pursuance of the conditions imposed by the statute, Sections 3367 and 3368, is a lawful exercise of the authority vested in town boards, and the statute requiring the written consent of a lot-owner to the vacation of a street in front of his lot has no application to an improvement by narrowing or altering it. (2.) The report ot a commission to assess benefits and damages by the narrowing of a street which shows that the commissioners proceeded to ascertain by an inspection and evidence what real estate would be benefited by reason of the narrowing of the street, and what real estate damaged; the amounts of benefits and damages to each tract, each tract being described and the name of the owner given, the amount of benefits being set in one column entitled “benefits,’’ another column entitled “damages,” is sufficient under See. 3369. The column of damages being left blank clearly indicates that there were no damages. Mrs. Carrie Phelps, leading milliner, at Hemphill & Honan’s, April Ist.

About the Greats Southern.

The foreclosure sale of the Chi” cago & Greal Southern Railway took place at Indianapolis, last Saturday, as advertised. The only bidder was Henry H. Porter, of Chicago, who bought it in at $501,000. The large quantities of new engines and other rolling stock which has lately been pur-

chased, will probably be put into service at once, and the road be operated in first class shape. It is also altogether probably, that the extension across Jasper county to connect with the Chicago and ly begun. The question of the route for the extension is one as we believe, of vital interest to Rensselaer. Whether our people will have any voice in determining the question, of the route, is a matter that yet remains to be seen.

Ladies, we have secured a firstclass milliner for the coming season of 1886, Mrs. Carrie Phelps of Chicago, who is a first-class artist. Come and examine goods and work before purchasing elsewhere. Hemphill & Honan. WANTED. —All parties knowing themselves to be indebted to me are requested to call and settle at once. R. H. Yeoman. The L., N. A. &.C. officials have fully decided, as soon as they can perfect arrangements, to put on a morning train out of Indianapolis for Chicago, leaving Indianapolis at 6 a. m., reaching Chicago at 1 p m.; returning, leaving Chicago at 4 p. m., reach Indianapolis at 11 p. m. Superintendent Woodard thinks that, in time, these trains will become the best paying on the road. Trains will be run from and to Lafayette to connect with these trains. The times at which they will pass Rensselaer, going north, will be about 10 o’clock a. m., or a little before, and going south at about 7 o’clock p. m. It is evident that Leopold means business, and everybody would do well to avail themselves of this opportunity ts saving 25 per cent, on all goods sold by him.
