Celebrate the 4th at Rensselaer. Mrs. C. R. Yeoman and children of Dana, Ind., are visiting Rensselaer friends. Dr. ami Mrs. Bernard Maloy of Chicago, are visiting Rensselaer friends this week. The McNavin Comedy Co., has been occupying the boards at Ellis opera house all this week.

Mrs. Charles Goss of Carpenter tp., and Mrs. Nettie Baker and two children of Minooka 111., were guests of Mrs. F. E. Babcock, Thursday and Friday. The board of review has been in session all this week. John Ryan of Gillam tp., was selected in place of Mr. Clark of Wheatfield, whose business interests compelled him to decline to serve on the board. Nothing of importance has yet been done. The Citizens’ Band of this city, the Remington Band and probably one other band will furnish music for the 4th during the day, and in the evening they will be re-enforced by the Mt. Ayr Band. This feature alone is worth coming a long way to hear and see. The Jasper County Oil Co., shot a well in section 27, Gillam tp., last week which is said to flow over the top of the pipe and several barrels of the fluid were lost before it could be controlled. Another good well was struck by another gang of drillers in Pulaski county, 4 miles northeast off Medaryville. George H. Tenney of Boston, chief promoter of the Kendall-ville-Gilman railroad which was to pass through Rensselaer, was found dead in his bed at a Kendallville hotel a few days ago. Mr. Tenney’s illness has delayed matters in this proposed line of railroad, but we trust those connected with im in the enterprise will not let the matter drop. The corn in Benton county is rather small for the time of year, but it has a healthy color and with a fair season from now on will make a good crop. The heavy rains have made many fields weedy, but the farmers are out early and late with the plow and that trouble will soon be overcome. Considerable corn has been washed out in the low ground. Oats never looked better.—Oxford Tribune. The name, good will and subscription list of the Delphi Times has been sold to A. B. Crampton of the Carroll County Citizen, thus consolidating the two democratic papers of that county under one head and management, insuring a better paper and more remunerative returns. Mr. Isherwood has purchased the daily and weekly Noblesville Democrat, the democratic organ of Hamilton county. The Democrat extends its best to both gentleman and trusts the change will prove a good thing in both cases. Last Monday evening at the regular session of the W. R. C., the wife and daughters of a mernI tier of the post were initiated in the order. The names of the new I members are Mrs. Thomas Crockjett, Mrs. Wm. McCord and Mrs. Knox of this city. Quite a large number yveje in attendance and late in the evening ■were joined by their husbands. The usual pleasi ant custom of serving refresh--1 meats was indulged in and the ! coolness of ice cream was not re--1 fleeted in their faces, for all enjoyed themselves. Aunt Mary Morgan sung for us and this completed the evening’s entertainment. •
