Mrs. Ed Harris, of Mt. Ayr, was a Rensselaer visitor today. New hickory nuts, 5c a quart, or 40c a peek at John Eger’s. Do you want better shoes? Then buy Lee’s Hamilton-Brown line. George K. Babcock, of Bluftton, was a Rensselaer visitor today. Mrs. Estella Strawhridge left this morning for her home at Lincoln, Neb. Mrs. David Mauck, of Mt. Ayr, is reported in quite a serious condition of health. If you want good young mares attend John W. Norman’s sale, February 20th; also Case riding plow, good as new. Mrs. Sam Robinson arid daughter, Mary, of Morocco, eame today to visit her daughter, Mrs. Harve Robinson, and to see the grandson, horn last Sunday. Mrs. Edward Baech, of South Bend, seems to he suffering a general breakdown in health and Dr. Washburn, who saw her Tuesday, states that her condition at this time is not encouraging. County Assessor John Q. Lewis and Marion township assessor, S. S. Shedd, went to Hammond today to attend the district meeting for assessors and to receive instructions for the work of assessing that will begin March Ist. Ezra L. Clark, who has been, in failing health for some time, suffered a slight paralytic stroke Tuesday evening and this morning after arising suffered another slight stroke. The attending physician does not anticipate serious consequences at this time and his condition is somewhat more encouraging than it was earlier in the day. B. W. Ellsworth, of Barkley township, returned this morning from his visit with his brother, Charles, near Hollow Springs, Tenn. His brother went there from Roselawn ten years ago and has succeeded well, now owning clear forty acres of land and having good buildings and plenty of .stock on It. He also owns another tract of ten acres. Mr. Ellsworth enjoyed a very pleasant visit in that state, spending part of the time with C. L. Parks, of Surrey, who is spending the winter there. The southerners are not at all energetic and Mr. Ellsworth was impressed with the lack of enterprise. The roads are crooked trails through the woods? and are not inv proved and consequently there is no rural mail delivery, and there fire no telephones In the country. About all the southerners want to sell out and whenever a man from the north comes into that country they are all after him. One man had 12 acres, with a good orchard and a small house. He wanted to sell for SIOO. Some quarter sections, partly under cultivation and partly in timber,- were for sale for $1,500. Lots of the timber land has been entered by thieves and many of the best trees cut down. Mr. Parks has not invested so far hut will probably do so. He’and Mr. Ellsworth had never met until the latter’s visit there, although "both have been residents of Jasper county for many years and not living a great many miles apart.
