* / No work has been done on the pfoposed new sugar beet factory at Shelby for the past month, and the impression is rapidly gaining ground that none will be built.

Gifford, the Jasper county land King, was on the right side of the late Phillips corn deal, and made a big pile of money. We notice, however, that the C. &. W. V. Ry., is not progressing very fast Rensselaerwards, notwithstanding all this. Capt. William Guthrie is packing his effects preparatory to a trip to New Mexico and Arizona. He makes the trip in order to find a location where he will be immune from hay fever. He will remain permanently if he finds a desirable location.—White County Independent. On advice of the city attorney, the Rensselaer common council has decided to ignore the 20 cents per hour unskilled labor wage rate. As both the council and city attorney are republican, we shoujd like to know what “F. of L. M.,” late Apologist writer, thinks of such action. Monday is the date for holding the election for voting a subsidy in Rensselaer and Marion tp , of $21,355 for the proposed Toledo & Chicago Transfer railroad. The sentiment is practically unanimous for the road, but of late little has been said regarding it and it is not likely that a very heavy vote will be cast. Goodland Herald: Mrs. A. J. Kitt, with her youngest son, left Wednesday to spend two or three weeks at North Vernon, Ind., with her father, S. C. Spoor. Robert Stack, Sr., sold his farm northwest of town for SBS per acre, and purchased the Baker farm northwest of town for $65 per acre. Both farms contain 160 acres.
