KNEW JASPER COUNTY IN THE EARLY DAYS.

Aged Man Whp Worked fol General Van Rensselaer in 184 ft Cofoes to See Modern Rensselaer. J. Q. Hutchinson Spent Tuesday in Rensselaer. That would be an unattractive local paragraph if it was all there was to say about J. Q. Hutchinson, but his visit here was of rp° s t unusual interest and those who came Into com* tact With him found much enjoyment in his company. Mr. Hutchinson is 87 years of age .and enjoys quite excellent health. His home is at Aubwrn, Ind. When he was but a boy Ms father came to Rensselaer and lived for several years. Mr. HutcMnson’s mind is very clear with to the names and occurrences of early Rensselaer and talked freely about happenings of the latter thirties and early forties. 4ie went to school here in 1840, his tekcher being George W. Spitler, grandfather of Chas. G. Spitler. Mr. Spitler saw young Hutchin-, son on the street one day and asked him if he would not like to go -to school, and he said that he would, but did not have the money. Mr. Spitler told him to come to his home and he would start him oft. He arranged for young Hutchinson to work for his board and the next summer secured him* p job with General Van Rensselaer, who ownqd a farm Just across the river from the main street of

Rensselaer. , Mr. Hutchinson worked one summer for the father of James', Henry and Nels Randle, and helped to make the brick for the Randle home. He hunted up James T. Randle and took dinner with him at the home of his brother, Henry Randle In the afternoon they drove about the town and through the outskirts and talked over the early days, gradually renewing an acquaintance that was broken off whpn Mr. Hutchinson moved away in 1842. They had an agreeable afternoon together. Mr. HutcMnson seemed to have the names of all the old residents of Rensselaer on the end of his tongue although be had left here almost seventy years ago and had been here only once since, and then only for a day, and that in 1870.

He left here for Cincinnati, where he will visit for several days and then return 40 his home at, Auburn. For the past six weeks he has been visiting relatives in Nebraska. He will doybtless never visit Rensselaer again, although from hie mental and physical activity he should live for many more years. ■" ■- ■. ** ■ 1 " „ John Murphy, of near Surrey, had a young steer and a young heifer killed by lightning last Thursday and John £x>nergan had a steer killed the same day tn the same manner. Ray D. Thompson’s agency carried insurance on the three animals and Tuesday took settlement checks to the owners. * The Daughters of thq/ American Revolution will meet with Mrs. J r L. Brady on Tuesday afternoon of next week at 2:80 o’clock. A full attendance is desired as delegates will be elected to the state convention to be held in Indianapolis, October 10, 11 'and M. • * v - .’L'

The young mare was. on the track when the train came along. The mare was worfh about 1150. I Eld Ranton, Jr., came to Rensselaer this morning aid hto father Joined him here on a later train. They are over from Hoopeston to look at some Jasper county land and If they buy, Ed may again come over and live with us. He sold the farm southeast of town a few months ago and has investigated extensively but has apt found anything since then worth so negrly the money as* Jasper county offers, and it would be pleasing news to all of Ed’s old friends if he would purchase land and return here. g.

The board will be displayed for the advance sale within a few days. Mrs. H. L. Brown and little daughter Mary Jane returned this morning from Florida, where they have been for the past two weeks. Mary Jane is a great sufferer from hay fever and last year Mrs. Brown took her'to the north without getting favorable results, and this y/>ar it was decided to try Florida. Moat of the time was spent at Palatka and from the time they arrived there until they left the little girl had uo trouble at all with the disease. The (trouble started again laat night, howevnr, and it seems conclusive that this climate is responsible. They visited Jacksonville and other points in Florida during the stay there and enjoyed a very pleasant time. E. V.

Come On, You Corn Growers, Here Is a Good, Big Starter.

L Millard Fross came in from HangferntaTtnd broX in samples of field corn. He liVbs on the former Dr. S. H. Moore farm, now owned by Frank p/ Morton, of Goodhand, and is is doubtful if the corn he brought in caif be surpassed in jasper county, and that means that constitute B consists of a stalk 14 feet and 4 inches high and the big ear of which is 9 feet and seven inches from the ground. The stalk is now on exhibition in front of The Republican office and Millard issues a challenge to corn growers to bring in a toller stalk. Hq says that he did not look the flejd over carefully and thinks that there are taller stalks than this one and if any one can beat this one he will look up another one. This Is just a starter. The Republican is pleased to have these samples brought to the office .and glad to encourage rivalry that will result in continued improvement of our country. We should like to have every farmer in the county see this big stalk of Cbm and if there are taller ones we want them brought in and put on v

The World’s Granary.

Last year the United States produced 75 per cent of the corn of the world, 33 per cent of the oats and 20 per cent of the wheat, and it was done upon 6 per cent of the land.

The average annual production of cereals in this country is about five thousand million bushels. These figures are so stupendous that the aver-, age mind cannot comprehend them. And yet all the corn grown In this country, and there were 3,128,000.000 bushels of it, only about 2 per cent was exported. . K * This shows the wonderful consumptive power of the people of the United States. No nation in the history of the world has had such a record. The prosperity of a country and its standard of civilization are determined by its ability to consume the products of its soil. This is shown, by a comparison between the people of India and the United States, as the former with its nearly 300,000,000 people exports 14.1 per cent of its 360,000,000 bushels of wheat which is only about half of the production in this country. 3 The other wheat growing sections of the world which are backward in the scale of material progress show about the same record as India. The men who handle these immense crops of the United States are to meet In Omaha Oct 9, 10 and 11 next, when the annual convention of the Grain Dealers National Association is to be held. At this convention every phase of the cereal business will be'discussed. How to Increase the yields of the American farms by the scientific breeding of grain; how to add to the supply of the country by irrigation, dry farming and deep ploughing—all these methods will be considered. Our population is rapidly overtaking our production, and it was this fact that recently induced the Washington government to negotiate a commercial traety with Canada. The Grain Dealers National Association is composed of practically all the prominent elevator owners, brokers and commission men in the conn-, try. They are intereotol in the farmed because without the growers qf grain there would be nq grain to handle. ,7;' After a diet of more than twelve hours on bread and water, the prisoners in the ednnty jail at Sullivan who removed three padlocks from cell doors, then attempted a jail delivery by sawing the bars In one of th* windows, have turned aver the locks to Sheriff Wtble.

A traveling man handled the writer the following the other day, with the remark that it is wonderful how a few smiles seem to cheer up the Whole world. He suggested that people need to be reminded occasionally of the fact that it is good to be cheerful and to pass good cheer around, and knowing that he felt just that way, we take pleasure in reprinting the little verse, which is a pretty little sermon on the gospel of , cheerfulness and charity.
