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.
