He did not undertake to make an overland trip with it on account of the weather and the bad roads in some localities. Roy liked Jamestown and had a very enjoyable and fairly profitable trip. Isaac N. Best was down from Roselawn yesterday. He knew that members of a township or county advisory board had to be resideht freeholders but some people at Roselawn tried to make him believe that that was not the case. He went home with a copy of the law and thinks that will convince the other fellows that he is right. Mr. Best is 76 years of age. He stated that he was given but one name when j born and had only the name Isaac until he was of age and engaged in business. As his father’s name was also Isaac he decided that he needed a middle initial to distinguish him and he chose the letter “N” although it stands for no name. He has retained it since that time. “Uncle” Isaac told us a little story illustrative of the way he feels after the democratic victory. Two Roselawn citizens engaged in an Argument in his livery stable and finally one called the other a liar. He was promptly knocked ddwn. He picked himself up and said to the other fellow: “Well, by gum, you got the best of the fight, but you haven’t changed my opinion a bit” Having made arrangements whereby we can buy Gold Medal flour at the car load rate, we are prepared to sell you the best flour on earth as cheaply as any other high grade flour Is sold. Give us a trial. J. a. McFarland.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1910.

NEW TREASURER MARRIED AT INDIANAPOLIS THURSDAY.

Alson A. Fell Claims Bride In Miss Lillian M. Cromwell, Well Known Methodist Evangelist. Alson A. Fell, of Carpenter township, treasurer-elect of Jasper county, was married In Indianapolis Thursday evening to Miss Lillian M. Cromwell, who is a noted evangelist in the Methodist .church. Miss Cromwell has held two revival Meetings in Remington, one about ten years ago and one only about two years ago. Mr. Fell is a member of that church and their acquaintance grew out of the visits of Miss Cromwell to Remington. She is reported to be a brilliant woman and is greatly admired wherever she has conducted meetings, having many friends in Remington. It seems that the courtship of Mr. Fell hqs been kept a secret and that his marriage is a great surprise. This Friday morning announcements of their marriage were received in Rensselaer by County Treasurer J..D. Allman and L. H. Hamilton. Mr. Fell has been a widower for a number of years. The announcements say they will be “at hpme” after Dec. Ist. Mr. Fell will succeed Jesse D. Allman as treasurer of the county on Jan. 1, 1912. His Rensselaer friends will join in congratulations and best wishes for their happiness.

Ladles of the G. A. R. Follow Inspection With 6 O’clock Dinner.

The Ladies of the G. A. R. were inspected Thursday afterhoon by Mrs. John W. Graves, department inspector of Lafayette. The circle was found to be in a very prosperous condition, twenty-four new members having been initiated since the first of last January and most of them being young women who have shown a great amount of interest In the auxilliary work of the Grand Army. Mrs. Graves expressed herself as greatly pleased with the condition of the circle. At 6 o'clock dinner was served and to it the husbands of the members had been invited and they responded by a general attendance. The president of the circle is Mrs. A. L. Padgitt, to whose untiring efforts the upbuilding of the circle is largely attributable. Mrs. Padgitt presided at the after dinner meeting which was turned into a literary program, with u number of songs and some speechmaking. Mrs. Julia A. Healey spoke on “The Cost of a Country.” She enumerated several of the purchase costs, as of the Louisiana purchase, the Florida purchase, the purchase of Alaska and the Philippine Islands, she spoke of the cost of prosecuting wars from the standpoint of the money it required, but said that this was but a trifle of the cost of a country. No one could estimate the cost when purchased with human lives and human heartaches; no one cohid estimate the cost of a country whose freedom was gained by the sacrifice of its patriotic sons. Mrs. Healey used the Ingersoll expression that “no one can paint a sigh." Her talk was very interesting and she held the closest attention of all. ; Mrs. Graves spoke reminiscently x>t the civil war period. She lived at Battle Ground when the war broke out and her husband was one to enlist and go to the front. She was sorry then, but as she looks back now and sees what was accomplished she is proud that he went. Mrs. Graves said that no circle she had inspected had made so favorable an impression as this one. Mrs. M. E. Spitler, Capt. J. M. Wasson and others also spoke and the evening was very pleasantly spent.

PARTICULARS OF DEATH OF JAMES G. McGimsey.

Son-In-Law of W. R. Nowels Met Death Tuesday WhUe Leaving Mall Car at Crestline, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Nowels and Vernon Nowels returned Thursday night from Plymouth, where they had been called hy the shocking news that James G. McGimsey, husband of Lillian C. Nowels, had been killed by an accident on election day. But brief mention was made in a previous issue of the Republican because the particulars were not available. Mr. McGimsey was a native of Medaryville and was married to Miss Lillian Nowels on June 12th, 1905. He was then and has been since that time a, railway mail clerk. His run was between Chicago and Pittsburg. It was his week off, but following the general custom on election day he was making a short run in order to permit another clerk to vote. At Crestline, the clerk whom he had relieved was to again take his run and Mr. McGimsey was to return to his home, a fine new home on which he had only that morning put the finishing touches and where they were planning to live so contentedly. He did not go back through the mail cars and off the platform step, but catching hold of the iron bar across the mail car door he swung out and expected to alight on the platform. A truck filled with heavy trunks was so close to the sides of the car that he struck one of the trunks and was thrown beneath the cars. The train was moving rapidly and he was killed instantly. Two wounds on the head would have been sufficient to have produced instant death if there had been no other injuries. But the body was otherwise somewhat mangled by the wheels of the big Pennsylvania train. A Plymouth newspaper says: “A gloom was cast over Plymouth yesterday when news came that James G. McGimsey had been run over and killed by a passenger train at Crestline, Ohio. He remained in Plymouth to vote and was making an extra run east when the accident occurred.” James Guild McGimsey was bom in Medaryville, Ind., April 1, 1875, his parents being Alfred R. and Mary C. McGimsey. His mother still survives and continues her home at Medaryville. The following obituary was read at the funeral:
