EDITOR FOUND TRAIN WELL PATRONIZED

Goodl&nd Herald Tells What Publisher Pound in Making Trip to Fair Oaks Recently.

Since the new train has been placed on the LaCrosse division of the C. & E. L, the company has tried every way possible to prove that it was not a benefit to the towns along the line and was not needed. - . Papers at Rensselaer and Brook have ridiculed this, the only train our neighbors, Mt Ayr and Foreman, have, thus making a good loophole for the railroad to make complaints. J. Bowie informs us that the reports being circulated that he is asking to be reimbursed are not true and that the Wheatfield Improvement Association paid all his expenses some time ago. A meeting of the Wheatfleld lmprovement Association was held in Wheatfield Thursday evening to make arrangements to fight the case, Editor J. Bowie having received notice from Chairman Wood of the Indiana Railroad Commission, that a hearing would be held at Indianapolis March 13th, and that he wanted as large a representation from different towns along the route as possible to attend and testify and show cause why this train should be kept on. We went to Pair Oaks on this train last Friday and we noticed that about fifteen passengers left on the same train. At Foresman several left the train and several boarded it, and at Mt. Ayr it was the same. At Fair Oaks about thirty-five left the Monon train and went north on the C. & E. L tl this happens very often the train should be retained by all means.

Tribute From One Who Knew Him.

* * * So Ezra is gone; from now on he will be only a memory, and what a pleasing memory. To me he will be remembered as a man and brother. One toward whom the finger of suspicion was never pointed. Who walked with his fellow men for three score years and ten and was never found wanting. The soul of honor, and always a public servant, ready, reliable, and trustworthy. One who always stood for the right, and never faltered. A true patriot, who, when his country called, offered his Jffc that the flag might float over an undivided country. In war, brave as a lion, in peace, gentle as a child. What a character! How could it be improved? I cannot think of anything that could have been added, to make it more complete. To the Osborne family he Will be remembered as a second father. With his own large family, there was room in his heart and home tot them when father and mother had been called away. Not begrudgingly, but lovingly lie took them in, counseled, advised, and helped them on. To his children, what a heritage he left them! Not in dollars and cents, but in a good name. His every act worthy of imitation, nothing that he ever did to be apologized for, or excused. Patiently toiling that they might be comfortable and happy. A firm advocate of the schools and during all the years bis family were abundantly fed and clothed. No want or distress was ever near them. To his wife, who, for these fifty years has so nobly walked with him, what a pleasant memory it must be to know and feel that through sunshine and storm, joy and sadness, success or failure, she found him measuring up to every requirement. In his strong arms she found safety. In his loving heart she found comfort and peace. And now that she must for the remaining years plod on, sorrowful and alone, may the preeious memories of the past encourage and uphold her, and may all for whom she has so unselfishly given her life, rally to her support and make the pathway easier and the burdens lighter. To Jasper county and Rensselaer, the memory of such a man and citizen in whose civic life he has always been a potent factor for all that was right and good and against all that was wrong or harmful, they are better for his coming, and losers that he has gone away. And to us all, may his faithful, earnest, manly, Godly life be an inspiration and help. We all feel that Heaven is nearer and dearer than ever before. We believe that his faithful service here has gained for him a crown over there. That among the ransomed and redeemed he awaits the coming of those he has left behind, and great will be the joy of u.s all If In that day we can meet an unbroken family of God’s children. J. F.
