To Organize Jasper County Historical Society.

There will be a meeting tonight at 8 o’clock in the office of Abraham Halleck of those interested in the organization of a Jasper County Historical and Scientific Research Society. This is to inaugurate a movement looking to the preparation and preservation of the history of Jasper county. It is vitally important that a move of this kind be made at once, as the foundation for much of the interesting history of the county is fast fading away. A. F. Knotts, of Gary, who is connected with a similar society in Lake county, and who is preparing a work on the Kankakee Valley, will be present and will give suggestions that will be helpful in the organization of the movement. All who are interested in preparation and filing of this interesting material for future generations are invited to be present.
