At a meeting of the officers of the Jasper County Farmers’ Institute Saturday, it was decided not to hold a meeting in September, as had been arranged for at the close of its session last February.— The appropriation for these institutes can only be drawn upon for institutes held between the first of November and the lastjof March, hence the postponement of the September meeting. The secretary was instructed to correspond with Prof. Latta, state superintendent of these institutes, and with him arrange the time for the next meeting. Next Monday, Sept. 7th, will be the great excursion day of the year, if not the greatest in the history of the Monon Route Two excursion trains will go into Chicago that day, one starting at Salem, a long ways down the road, and the other at Wheelers. The fare on either from Rensselaer is the phenominally small one of only one dollar for the round trip.— This is much less than a cent a mile, and is cheaper than staying at home. On train passes Rensselaer, going in, at J0:06 a. m., and the other at 3p. m. Ticket" are good returning on any train that makes the required stops, from Sept. 7th to 9th inclusive; and the forenoon mail train of Tuesday will let off excursionists at any station. The fares from other Jasper county points are: Marlboro, $1.10; Pleasant Ridge. 1:05; Surrey, 90cts.: Fair Oaks, 85 cts From Lee it is $1.15, and from Bose Lawn it is 80 cts. We believe these are the lowest excursion rates ever offered on the Monon. A society editor says that ladies who call on brides for the first time and wish to do the proper thing will not forget to turn down the upper corners of their calling cards, which signifies best wishes and congratulations. But guard against the mistake of turning down the lower corner. That means sympathy and condolence.

Valparaiso Messenger: The Chicago Weekly Herald was recently discontinued because it did not pay the expei se of publication at $1 a year. This leads the Logansport Pharos to remark: "Yet there are plenty of people who think that the county paper with only a small circulation compared with the Weekly Herald, can afford to furnish their paper at $1 a year.” A county paper at $1.50 per annum is as cheap as whea at 50 cents a bushel, '*• , Advertised Letters — ' Mr. E.
