Overton was in from Lee this morning. He reports that just at the break of day they had a little rain storm over there. Nothing so fortunate happened here.

The Francesville Tribune says there are not enough ball players in either Francesville or Medaryville tfyis year for a good team and therefore the towns will combine and the games will be divided between them. Miss Alta Randle, of Ottawa, Kans., is visiting her grandfather, Jas. T. Randle, and other Jasper county relatives. She will also visit relatives in Francesville and probably be here for about three months. She is the daughter of Thos. Randle, who resided in Jasper county until about ten years ago.

The home is in excellent condition, being estimated worth $220,000 in land and buildings. Being almost worn out with long and weary vigils by the bedside of her sick husband, together with the terrible shock of his sad end, completely prostrated Mrs. J. D. Clark, and for a week following the terrible catastrophe, as detailed in our last issue, she hovered upon the brink of the grave. At present writing she is oetter and her friends are making pi eparations to take her to her former home near Knox, Ind.—Medaryville Advertiser.

Starke county is now “wet” from top to bottom and from side to side, inside and outside. No efforts toward holding option elections in that county were made and the county commissioners at their last meeting granted sixteen saloon licenses as follows: 4 at Knox, 4 at North Judson, 2 at Bass Lake, 2 at Hamlet. 1 at Ora, 1 at San Pierre, 1 at English Lake and 1 at Koontz Lake. They certainly will have an abundance of “p-p-personal liberty” in our neighbor county.—. Medaryvllle Advertiser. “Uncle” Charley Pullins, who made a fine success with alfalfa at his Barkley township farm, says he won’t be without it even if he does live in town and be has planted an acre Just west of his barn on West South street, along the cemetery sidewalk. It is nicely up and covers the ground almost already. Last year he cut five tons to the acre off his Barkley farm and he is getting sls per ton for it It must be planted on good ground about April Ist After the first cutting the weeds are all killed off and after that everything is alfalfa.

Don’t Poor Cold Water on a Hot Hog’s Back or Head.

Fowler Republican-Leader. Dick Haley was in hard luck Tuesday. He loaded five hogs in his wagon north of town early in the morning, and when he reached Fowler all were dead. Fletcher Smith, who has reasoned with a hog on numerous occasions, hands down the opinion that cold water should never be poured on a hot hog’s back, or on his head. The proper way is to pour the water bo the hog can “waller" in it. The wagon box should have a shade, but should not be a tight box.

Bad Fire Causes Big Less Fer Ed Oliver, of Barkley.

Ed Oliver, of Barkley township, had a big fire Friday afternoon that almost wiped all the buildings off his big farm near Newland. Save for the fine work performed by a volunteer corps of firemen the fire would have been much worse. At about 3 o’clock in the afternoon fire was discovered issuing from the root of his house and several carpenters, who were at work on the construettan of a tenement house, hastened to fight the flames. The fire seemed to have started in an Upstairs closet and it had made quite rapid progress when the bucket brigade started to throw water on the roof. Four farm hands, who were working in the field, joined the fire fighters and the fire av the house was conquered, but the flames spread to the large barn and this it was impossible to save. The barn had been remodeled and enlarged last year and was 68 by 75 feet in dimensions and one of the largest barns in the county. It was totally destroyed, together with the contents, which included Mr. Oliver’s Maxwell automobile. Two stacks of hay and one of straw also burned, as did about five or six acres of muck, in which onions were planted. The firemen had a difficult time to save a large new corn crib not far from the barn. All of the property was insured in the Home Fire Insurance Co., of New York, except the automobile, whi -h was insured in the Lloyd Co., loth agencies represented here by R. D. Thopapson. An estimate of the loss to the house is S2OO, to the contents SIOO, and this is covered by insurance. The barn loss is about $2,000 with $1,500 insurance. The insurance on the automobile was SSOO. 4 rL D. Thompson says that he never saw a better job of fire fighting th in that put up by the men that saved Mr. Oliver’s house and the corn crib and other buildings
