Well matured Wisconsin sand grown potatoes, 75c bushel, 20c peck. HOME GROCERY. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Coppess, of Medaryville, came yesterday afternoon to visit their daughter, Mrs. Will Simons and the family of W. F. Osborne. Miss Lois Thompson went to Chicago this morning to meet her mother, Mrs. Delos Thompson, who was returning from Ossining, N. Y., where she accompanied her daughter, Miss Emily, who is attending the Oddining boarding school. Charles R. McFarland, the former court reporter, who has completed one year in dental college, was a Rensselaer visitor Monday. He had been at West Baden taking a short vacation and stopped off here to see old friends. Felix Parker went to Kankakee yesterday and will go from there to Herscher, his home. He will lose his vote this year. A residence of a year is required to establish residence in Illinois and he has resided there only since January. James E. Flynn, who is now staying with his daughter, Mrs. H. V. Weaver, at Lowell, while recovering from a recent illness, was down yesterday to look after some business and to register. He is feeling some better than he did for a while but is still quite weak.

Dr. F. H. Hemphill is expected to be able to come home tomorrow from the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis, where he has been for almost three weeks. He had been considerably run down alter going to the hospital and was sick for some time. He is now slowly gaining strength and it is believed and hoped that he is restored to perfect health. ----W ■■ ■— Dr. E. C. English, who went to Madison, Wis., Monday, was unable to register and will consequently lose his vote as the registrations are required to be made in person or the affidavits filed on that day. It does not seem fair and is not that a man of long residence in a community can be disfranchised in that way, but that is the law and there is probably no getting around it.

John R. Lewis, one of the progressive farmers of Barkley township, has just purchased from Crouch & Son, at Lafayette, a Hampshire belted boar, a registered animal for which he paid $225. The Crouches took in exchange at SOO three spring pigs of the same breed. ,Mr. Lewis had a lot of misfortune with his Duroc hogs this year, losing several sows and 103 pigs from cholera. His belted hogs were all immune, however.
