John Ramp Now Owns Home Grocery—Doors Open Tuesday.

John Ramp, for several years a faithful clerk In the Home Grocery and a steady young man in all particulars, Saturday closed a deal for the Home Grocery, which had been sold a few days before by W. R. Lee to Henry D. Vance, of Logansport. Mr. Vance was not likel| to prove very successful in the business, so It is said, owing to the fact that he was a stranger and Mr. Ramp is under-* stood to have purchased the stock under very favorable terms for cash. He will retain Alonso Kaiser as one of the clerks. Mr. Ramp is starting off like a winner and has purchased advertising space in The Republican for the purpose of acquainting the public with trading advantages. His many friends will welcome him into business j and doubtless .give him a liberal share of their patronage.

Was in Southern Military Prison 47 Years Ago Sunday.

J., P. Simons has a vivid recollection of his twenty-first birthday, which was spent forty-Beven years ago Sunday in a southern military prison at Goldsboro, North Carolina. For about seven months he had been at AndersonviJJ.e and other prisons and when he arrived ».t his majority he had been living for a long tijne on a small allowance of corn meal a day, which they were allowed to cook as best they could but which had to be daten Without a;iy seasoning, neither salt, sugar or inilk. Mr. Simons says ttiat he was about as thin as a person’s hand toe day he became of age-and he did not expect to see another birthday. It was not long after (that, however, that he was paroled, and ft few days’ later he was inside the union lines.

Trio Going to Ohio to Investigate Match Factory Plan.

E. L. Hollingsworth, D. S. MaKeever and B. Forsythe will go to North Baltimore Tuesday to investigate the proposition to consolidate the match factory at that plaice with the- one promoted and partly constructed here. The plan of W. W. Sterling, the promotor, is to interest local capital and it is understood that the gentlemen who are going to look the plant over are prospective Investors. In view of fact the discordant tone in oaf factory" article may have been a, bit ill timed. The Republican certainly hopes that something can be done to put the business here on its feet but the outlook a* we see it 1# yery unfavorable. Should It receive the financial aid and business direction, however, of men of ability of the committee members, there is no reason .why it would not be put upon its feet and successfully operated. W!e trdst that our doubts As expressed in the artlei# referred to are not well founded, and our is not apt to be rehabilitated by any act of the promotors. If the factory is rescued and put upon its feet, it will have to be done with local capital and local management. If the gentlemen decide to go into it, they will doubtless determine (thoroughly the security of the Investment and .be represented on the board of control of the factory. If carried out, as proposed, the factory would be run on a much larger scale than at first proposed, ' The Republican yvill refrain from publishing anything further about the transactions of .thp factory people that have convinced pa of the present uncertainty of conditions, hoping, with all who are interested ip the welfare of Rensselaer, that the scheme at present promoted may be successfully brought about.

D. A. R.’ s Observe Washington’s Birthday In Colonial Costume.

Washington’s Birthday was celebrated in true patriotic spirit by the Van Rensselaer chapter of the D. A. R. Many revolutionary dames in cap and kerchief with their more modern husbands and friends met in the Honan home to revel ni stately Virginia reel and hilarious spelling match, There were other amusing features. Each lady o fthe chapter took part, by demurely rising in her place at just the psychological foment, for joke, song or story. All seemed spontaneous but the secret was In the little cards passed to the members, each with a number of a request in rhyme. Among the events were piano *;oIo? by Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Brady, vocal aolp by Mrs. English, the dancing of the Money Musk by JftfA a poem on “Her Worat Scrape,” by Mrs. Ketcbum. The description caused much excited guessing until some on; suggested that Mrs. Ketchum had described herself. The spelling match was a decided success in showing that people of. distinguished ancestry have their weak point*. 4s the hard words were given to teachers and the medical terms to doctors many were brought down toe first time around. Light refreshments were served informally.
