“Grandfather” J. M. Gwin has been quite poorly for several days at the home of his son, J. C. Gwin, in Rensselaer. He has been suffering from pleurisy and his condition for several days was quite critical. W. J. Holmes returned this morning from Indianapolis. He is very much imbued with the Mars Hill factory suburb being opened up there. He has thirteen acres adjoining it and it will greatly increase the value of his land. The band boys repeated their minstrel with very good success last night. They cleared about sls each night. A couple of wrestling matches, in which Tom Coburn worked with Leon Eigelsbach and Art Battleday, proved very interesting.

She has improved far beyond the expectation of the surgeon and it is now believed that she can be operated on I • next Monday.

Ladies of the W. R. C. to the number of twenty-five gathered at the home of Mrs. Hester Hoyes on V‘*n Rensselaer street Thursday and from well filled baskets spread a table with a bountious dinner. The guest of honor was Mrs. Emeline Israel, who will leave here shortly to locate in some other place, probably Delphi or Monticello. The time was spent in many pleasant ways and all report a splendid time. Judge Hanley returned from Kentland this morning. He has not secured a new court reporter yet but is on the lookout for one. Harry Folk went to Hammond Tuesday to take up his work there. The judge says that the story about “Hank” Granger getting away with the booze is largely a “Joke," and that not much of it disappeared during the time of the search. The Newton county grand jury returned some indictments, but it is not public who they were against, although people over about Kentland are guessing that they are against Granger. For this week we will sell yon a 5-pound pail of jelly, our regular 30c seller, for 20c. JOHN EGER. OlL'g cards at the Republican.
