The north and west walls are of a dark red brick and the building will be a very attractive one when completed. We have a splendid line of walking and riding cultivators. HAMILTON & KELLNER.

Smallpox quarantine has been raised at the Indiana reformatory at Jeffersonville, after being kept up for three weeks, during which not more than fifteen cases developed. There had been no new ones for twelve days. All cases were extremely mild. Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Myer went by auto to Frankfort Saturday evening, where Mrs. Myer will visit relatives while he attends a meeting of the dental association at Indianapolis. Misses Lucile and Nina Lyon and brother, Joe, accompanied them as far as Delphi. The latest summary from the Michigan fruit belt shows that the peach crop suffered most from the recent frosts. Among the big growers ft is generally conceded that the peach crop has been reduced from 60 to 75 per cent, but apples, pears, plums and cherries, it is said, will go a long distance toward covering the peach loss. 7

George Gifford came this morning from Tipton, and it had been expected to close the deal for the sale of the Gifford railroad today, but the representative of the buyers had expected to meet Mr. Gifford here yesterday and was compelled to return to Chicago on the same train this morning that Mr. Gifford arrived on. We are prepared to do all kinds of work, hotel, restaurant, family, carpets, and lace curtains; also remember that we have the newest Troy No. 11, the latest domestic collar ironer made. Collars, two cents each for two weeks, to demonstrate to your entire satisfaction that we do the work. McKAY’S LAUNDRY. N. C. Shafer lost the end of the index finger of his left hand and had the second finger slightly injured while assisting in moving the large steel girders for the new garage last Saturday. Jesse Snyder also suffered a slight injury to his left hand in the same manner. The Shafer building is being delayed comewhat because the contractors have been short handed a good deal of the time. It will not be undertaken to lay the floor before Memorial Day, when the Chicago automobiles will pass through Rensselaer enroute to the races at IndianapoHs.

The two brickmasons working on the Kurrle garage for Hiram Day are D. S. Roberts and Oscar Silva, of Oxford, and both are first-class workmen. The scale for brickmasons is 70 cents an hour, or $6.30 for a 9-hour day. It is a class of skilled labor that merits good wages and it is a great pity that so many of the masons are not dependable on account of their drinking proclivities. The gang that worked on the Shafer garage quit work two or three times to engage in drunken orgies. For a great many years Rensselaer has not had reliable brickmasons but has bad to send away from town whenever jobs were to be done. It would seem that this would be a good place for one or two masons ell the time.
