We are able to make you Farm Loans at a very low rate of interest. Bruner & Randle. Forsythe Block, Room 7. See S. E. Yeoman for fruit and ornamental trees, who represents Hooker & Wyman, of Rochester, N. Y. All stock guaranteed. Today’s Rensselaer markets (all top prices): Wheat 65; corn 50; oats 32|; rye 45. One year ago today the prices were, wheat 65; corn 36; oats 19|; rye 45. M’he Kentland Enterprise says that oats in that vicinity are turning out much better than expected, the quality being good and the yield from 35 to 45 bushels per acre. The G. A. R. post (number one) and the Milroy Circle, to the number of about sixty, gave a surprise on Comrade John Sullivan at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Goble Tuesday evening. The Democrat acknowledges receipt of a copy of the third annual premium list of the Delphi Street Fair, to be held Sept. 9-13. We see that our former townsman, C H. Porter, has a full page adv. in the catalogue. In the case of Grant Antrim of near Wheatfield, tried last week before Esq. Churchill, the court found him guilty of trespass and fined him $5 and costs, amounting to about $75. Antrim refused to pay and went to jail.

Mrs. S. C. Robinson entertained a few of her friends Wednesday afternoon at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Washburn Wednesday afternoon in honor of her friend, Miss Mayme Morrison of Wheaton, 111. As soon as possible Contractor Heffron expects to start six or eight wagon trains hauling rock on the Jefferson township roads. Five or six wagons attached to a traction engine will constitute each train.—Kentland Enterprise. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hazen of Jordan tp„ returned Wednesday from a few days visit to their farm in Jennings county. Mr. Hazen was well pleased with the crops on bis farm. It has been quite dry down there as well as here, but Tuesday night a heavy rain fell in that section. Crops will average up favorably with those in Jasper county. ' Accepting the judgement of farmers who are certainly competent to give a fair estimate, the average oat yield in this locality will be about 35 bushel per acre. The increased price (30 cents) will make up for stortage, and will put about as much money in the hands of the farmer for the crop as in previous years when the yield was heavy and price lower. —Goodland Herald.

A. M. Bushong was in town a few days this week. He does not act like nor have the appearance of an insane man notwithstanding the efforts recently made to make the public believe that he was such. He was out to see his wife, he says, but did not go into the house until she had said that she would like to see him. Mrs. Bushong said that she was glad to see him and would like to live with him again if “they” would only let her alone, he says. Mr. Bushong lays all the trouble to his wife’s relatives, and, from what we can learn, he has good grounds for making the charge. The Golmar Bros, circus arrived in the city Sunday evening, and for a “wagon show” was quite an aggregation, having some 58 wagons all told. The rain Sunday night and Monday morning made it a little wet for farm work and a goodly number of country people turned out, many more than anticipated. The circus had a small menagerie in connection and two big elephants. It was well patronized both afternoon and evening, and everybody was well pleased with the entertainment. From here the circus went to Wolcott, thence to Goodland, Fowler, Attica, Covington, Cayuga and Dana, Indiana, and then over into Illinois, showing at Paris, Oakland, Newman, Arcola and Sullivan.
