Former Jasperite Writes Note of Encouragement From Jamestown.

Dear Editor: As we can’t hear from our old neighbors and friends without The Republican I am enclosing $2 for which please renew my subscription and send the InterOcean for one year. We are having fine weather. People have commenced farming and Hoosiers are all in good health. Mr. Heuson and family live just across the road from us. With so many Hoosiers around us it is hard for one to realize that they are so far away from old Indiana. On my birthday a crowd of 49 came to my house and of this number an even 30 were Hoosiers, while there were many others in the neighborhood with whom we are personally acquainted who were not present. My brother, Sidney B. Holmes, and family live 12 miles from us, but we see them often and my old friend, T. O. Brown, and family live about 41 miles from us. Roy Scott is working on a ranch 2 miles frdm us and getting $35 a month. James Stanley is only a mile from us. This Is a good place for young men.—Samuel H. Holmes. » ' M ' ■ ■■ ■ ■ . I.— Edward Kane, a young Chicago pedestrian, started out Tuesday afternoon to break the walking record between Chicago and Portland, Me. He will follow the roads used by Edward Payson Weston.
