Warren Poole has rented the W. D. Sayler cement house on Division street and will move here this week from Muncie, where he has been managing his father’s brick plant for the kpast three years. The plant was recently sold. Mr. Poole’s family arrived here last week and the household goods are being shipped today.

Mrs. Maines has decided not to rent her home where Jud Maines has been living, and will probably occupy it herself after Jud moves to the country. ( Rev. W. G. Winn, the new Christian minister, who had expected to get the house, will now probably take Albert Brand’s house, which he vacated last week when he moved in with his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John English^

Alf Donnelly has embarked this year in a new branch of the onion business. He has been investigating the raising of onion sets and this \ear raised 248 bushels on aboil a third of an acre. The price varies from a dollar to two dollars a bushel. His seed onions are very fine and he will have an immense crop. As many onion fields have been-almost ruined this year by grubworms, the price will be very high, in all probability.

The Valparaiso Messenger describes a dog fight that took place there between two dogs, one “a little one and the other a white one.” Nothing is said about the color of the little one nor the size of the white one. The white dog was getting the best of the battle and a big crowd of Valpo sports were enjoying the affair when the owner of the under dog rushed into the affray and plunged his knife into the head of the white dog. The owner of the stabbed dog howled longer than kthe dog did, and about half of Valparaiso suspended business to take part in the affray.

John Kresler brought a half dozen Summer Queen apples to The Republican office Saturday that in looks and douhfless in flavor are not excelled any place. They will be left on exhibition for a few days, unless our anxiety to eat them exceeds our hope that the public will view them. There are many fine apples in Jasper county this yp&r and if they could be handpicked and carefully packed, they would doubtless find a market. As it is, thousands of bushels will go to waste. Those Who have thought to moke vinegar, find that it is almost impossible to procure barrels to put the cider in. Many are drying them, spicing them, canning them, making apple butter, apple preserves and apple jelly. The crop will prove valuable in helping to solve the high cost of living and it is the first abundant crop in this part of Indiana for many, many years. Some trees look like the pictures shown in advertising western apple orchads, which looked almost too fine to be real. But we can believe them now, since we have them right here at home.
