Many Carrising Copped From The Fowler Republican-Leader.

Grant Hall started early Monday morning for Rensselaer via the auto route. Elmore Barce was in the Jasper county court house Saturday and used up all the oratory on the Pink-a-mink and so the Judge that he had not been able to recover until Wednesday. Miss Remzy Smith, of Chicago, has come to.live with Rev. and Mrs. Johnson at the Presbyterian manse. She is a beautiful little girl without a home and too valuable to be left to grow up on the streets of Chicago. A number of the creditors of Will Richmire met Saturday at the office of Grant Hall. Lee Dinwiddie was elected trustee and Wilbert Hawkins, George Matthews and Z. Hornbeck named as appraisers. Elmore Barce and family went to Chicago today. He will remain for three or four days. Mrs. Barce’s eye glasses need adjusting again, and Mr. Barce wants to read in the books in the law library. Frank Fisher, of Remington way, was in Fowler yesterday. He is slowly getting better, but is only able to tinker around as yet. Mrs. Tom Eastburn has sold her Jasper county land and bought a quarter section near the home of Mrs. Caroline White, paying $l3O per acre. Will McCullough, of Remington, was in Fowler Saturday. Judge Ben will be at Fountain Park assembly this year. No greater man is living. All should hear him. i

Fred Gay was in Fowler Monday and to show the great prosperity of Gilboa, he told that he had assessed corn in that township three different times; twice at forty cents and once at thirty cents per bushel. The corn could have been sold at one time at seventy-two cents per bushel. The owner of the corn said it was not necessary to print his name as every one knew him to be the biggest fool in the township. But he is mistakeu about that too. The local option election in White county yesterday resulted in a general victory, Reynolds alone going wet. The majorities as reported by telephone are as follows: Wolcott, 65; Monticello, 98; Monon, 150; Chalmers, 104; Brookston, 96; Reynolds went wet by 20. This could be expected. It was a tough place a half century ago. At that time Bob Sill was a character living in that town. Once on a time he was riding on the cars. He was drunk.< The conductor wanted the fare. He handed out a $5 bill. “Where are you going?” “Going to ’l.” “Your fare is three dollars and twenty-five cents. You get off at Reynolds.”
