D. H. Yeoman Family to Celebrate His Birthday.

D. H. Yeoman will be 74 years o£ age tomorrow, Sept. 26th, and it will be one of the happiest days of his life, for he will have with him all seven of his children and is enjoying the best of health, in fact, he is about as young as any of them. His children are Mrs. Ed Mauck, of Muncie; Mrs. M. Y. Brown, of Thompson Falls, Mont.; Mrs. A. R. Hopkins, of Rensselaer; D. M. Yeoman, of Tab, Ind.; James F. Yeoman, of Ambia, Ind.; Victor P. Yeoman, of Barkley township, and David V. Yeoman, of Union township. Dave will 'be right in his element and although he served through the civil war and wears a crown of white hair, he has kept abreast of the times and will 'be able to Bhow a good time to the fine family of children he has raised.

The Remington Press says that the road between that place and Rensselaer is in a miserable condition and urges that something be done toward its permanent improvement. The Press says that the roads for some reason are kept up much better in White county. The Republican does not believe there is any reason why this should be the case as a general rule, but it is possible that the road mentioned might have more wear than most other roads. It has been found out that it is a mighty hard road to keep in repairs and has had a vast amount of money spent on it during the past few years. Many men who thought they knew something about road repairing have been consulted and yet the road is most of the time pitted and worn so that it is anything but a 'good road. There is a great deal of travel over the road, that being the almost invariably used road for tourists and it is a* fact that tourist cars are responsible for a big lot of the wear on roads. The Republican believes that if this road was properly graded and dressed and then treating to a coating of tarvia it would be a good investment. Certainly some step should 'be taken to put it into better condition and we invite suggestions from readers of this paper.
