RENSSELAER, INDIAN A, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1914.

Uncle Job English Reaches Age of Eighty-Pour.

Brook Reporter. '■ j Uncle Job English reached the' ! age of eighty-four on Saturday last, and to all appearances he is as hale and hearty as he Was ten years ago. , He came to Newton county in 1862 and has resided here ever since, coming here from Jasper county, where he had lived since 1859. When asked as to the most pleasant thing to remember in his life he responded that it was that in all that time he had never sued any man nor had ever been sued but once in his life. He owns land in Newton, Jasper and Miami counties, all of , which has been earned by the joint efforts of himself and wife. Uncle I Job in the early days was a justice ; of the peace in Yackson township ! and administered the law to his | friends and neighbors as suited the times and the statutes. He can . tell many interesting happenings of the early days and enjoys life apparently as much as he did thirty ' years ago. A man with his jovial disposition and good health should live to round out the century mark and we hope that he will.

MARSHAL BROWN, OF WOLCOTT, FOUND DEAD

Ballet Through Hoad of Town Marshal Indicates Suicide—Friday Morning. Wolciott Enterprise. At 2 o’clock this Friday afternoon just as we had finished printing The Enterprise, the town was thrown into a tumult of excitement when it was learned that Marshall had been found at the northeast corner of the tile yard dead, with a bullet through his right temple. Mr. Brown left hlome this morning before breakfast, and had not been seen since. At noon Mrs. Brown became uneasy and started out to look for him. At- the C. T. Boicourt corner she met William Watson, who said he woiild go and look for him. He came down town and made inquiry, but no one had seen him, and going to the drug store of Spencer Bros., was trying to get, Mr. Brown’s phone'to see if he had returned, When ft was reported on the streets that he had been found dead in the tile mill yard, which report proved hut too true. George James had gone to the tile yard for a load of ‘bats” and found the body lying at the end of a pile of tile, on a grass plot, a bullet hole through his head just above the right eye, lying on its face, with his revolver but a few inches from his hand. Mr. James went to the tile mill and help was sumnjoned • frbm town. Undertake: Holdridge went out and brought the body to the undertaking rooms, and notified the coroner.

Obituary of William Gooper.

William Cooper was born in Madison county, Ohio, July 25, 1833, and died at his home in Kniman, Jasper county, Ind., Tuesday morning, Aug. 18, aged 81 years and 24 days. When ten years of age he emigrated with his parents to Jasper county, which has ever since remained his home. He was first united in marriage to Miss Mary Price, who preceded him to the world beyond. To this union were born four children. Later he married Miss Sarah Parker, who died in 1875. To this union were born three children. His third marriage was to Miss Nancy E. Winrick. who still survives to mourn his loss, together with eleven children, Marion, of Hammond; Frank, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Anna Fisher, of Iron Junction, Minn.; Scott, Jasper, Levi, John Haryey, Floyd, Mattie and Mrs. Lilly Hass, all residents of Jasper cofinty. All were present at the funeral except Mrs. Anna Fisher, of Iron Junction, Minn. Tn addition he leaves three sisters, Mrs. Sarah McCleary, of Jasper county; Mrs. Anna Guss, of Canada, and Mri Abigal Call, of Duluth, Minn., together with other relatives and numerous friends, who sincerely mourn their loss. While Mr. Cooper made no public profession of religion, the writer, who was a warm personal friend and-having had many serious talks with him on the sulbjeot, has no hesitation in saying that he was a firm believer in the Bible being an inspiring book and in Christ being a divine saviour and there was never any question in tlje minds of any one who knew him but what Ate’s tempestuous sea and. finally of his life. Heroically and patiently he bore his suffering with a calm resignation which is possessed only by those who have made a complete surrender of the command of the frail bark of their lives into the hand of One who they firmly believe is fully able to steer it over life’s temestuous sea and finally bring it into a haven of rest and peaee. « Mr. Cooper will be sadly missed among that small band of fast vanishing early pioneers of Jasper county, and while they sadly mourn their loss they have the lact to eonsole them, that he left behind a life of noble manhood, one of the best heritages that any man can possibly leave The funeral, conducted by Rev. C. W. Postil 1, of Rensselaer, was held at Kniman Thursday afternoon and burial made in the Prater cemetery In Barkley township.

Not So Strange Alter All.

Tou may think it strange that so many people are cured of atomaeh trouble by Chamberlain’s Tablets. You would not, however, if you should give them a trial. They strengthen and invigorate the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. Mis. Rosie Rich,Wabash, Ind, writes, “Nothing did me the least good until I began using Chamberlain’s Tablets. It is decidedly the beet medicine (or stomach trouble I have ever used.” Ibr sale by all dealers. C

FOUNTAIN PARK NOTES.

Since Wednesday’s rain the park has taken on a happier atmosphere, the grove of natural forest trees showing little evidence of the dry summer. Weather conditions are'delightful and many who found the dust and be®* ot the opening days unpleasant are now “doing the assembly’’* ahd enjoying the unusually goo£ programs presented this year. 'The talent is high and above the average. Lecturers and musical talent so far has won praise and commendation on all sides. The Hearon Sisters Quartette Monday and Pilgrim Girls on Tuesday, proved rare mu*M cal treats; the great Dickens Impersonator, was on for Wednesday evening. Wedhesday afternoon the local Chautauqua reading circle conducted its pretty graduating or “Recognition Dajr” services, a diploma being received by Mrs. Geo. Bartee. At 5 o'clock a reunion banquet was served at Hascall’s hotel, covers being laid for forty-four. Miss Gertrude Besse, chairman of the d*y. It was during this banquet of feasting and toasting that the downpour of rain came; and In true Chautauqua spirit of .being in touch with current events, the banqueters fluttered their white salute ip appreciation. Of the good things fn stortf too much can ,hardly be said; each day is a good day. Col. Bob Seeds on Thursday kept his audience in a roar of laughter with his store of humor. In the evening Germain was greeted with the largest evening audience so far, and kept them spellbound with his witchery and enchantment. * | ■'..V-r! . .. v 1,1 WgMgf

280 Angora Goats Clear Brush And Sprouts at Small Expense.

White County -Democrat. The neatest and cleanest job of brushing and sprouting that Nit been done on any term about Mobtieelio this summer, is that an the Baker & Coble farm at the range line cross fo*ds west of this «2tf. These gentlemen have been busy improving this farm for a couple of years and it was a problem at Hist how to elean up the tout weedy fence rows and the danse underpastures at the least expense. Hi«'SSfebeard that coats had bees used to advantage tor that purpose they concluded to take a venture, and going to the stock yards they bought 250 head early In tbs season. It has proved a successful venture; the fence row* are dean and the woods are trimmed up as high as a man’s shoulders with not a eent of expense except for a ifttls salt and the tumble of keeping plenty of water In reach M these willing workers. There has beep no disease among them and the only fatality reported is #here one became too frisky and running up on a threshing machine standing in the Add fell olf and bro|te Me These Angoras are grade dock and will produce quite a clip of mohair—two or three pounds to the goat, that will bring at least 35 cents per pound on the market As to their flesh, hundreds of people are eating goat meat today, imagining they are using choke mutton. They are surely profitable first aids to farmers who^desir^an that is covered with danse weeds and small underbrush they leave H ready for the plow. Nine steamers, some of them already under way, had been chattered Thursday night by diplomatic officers of the United States as auxiliaries to ships of regular lines in moving warbound Americans from Europe. v
