FINE FOR MONON.

t, The estate of C. M. Horner, of Monon, which is. valued at about 81,000,000, has been divided among the nine heirs. S. A. Carson, of Monticello, John C, Duffey, of Burnettsville, and Joseph S. Minch, of Chalmers, were chosen as appraisers and they di-, vided the estate in twenty-seven equal parte. Descriptions of these were then placed in twenty-seven' envelopes, and were drawn by the heirs.. The heirs have presented to the town of Monon a tract of land valued at 88,000 to be used as a park as a memorial to Mr. Horner, and also 11,000 for the upkeep of the park for the first year. Thia is a splendid gift and the heirs of this business man, who had done so much for Monon and vicinity and who in turn had received so much from that community, deserve the very highest praise. •' Rensselaer is in need of a park, a community building and more support for the hospital, and we have people here who have been so richly blessed in this good community that they will undoubtedly not let the opportunity to share their blessing with tiie people of the community go by.
