The opinion of people in these parts in regard to the carnival at Rensselaer last week, varies somewhat. While some say it was fine, others say it wasn't worth going a quarter of a mile to see. SENATOR GOODWINE OUTDONE. We noticed an article in last week's Democrat, taken from the Warren County Sentinel, stating that Senator Goodwine has the only circular barn in the state. We don't believe the writer has been up in our part of the state, as there is one in the north end of Jasper in Union tp., on what is known as section 31, on the Otis ranch. It has feeding room in the basement for 200 head of cows which they milk rij{ht along every day the year around. The lower floor is all cemented. Each and every cow has a small iron trough to drink out of, so they don’t have to go out of the barn to get water. These troughs are supplied with water by pipes leading from a large resevoir built in the ground, some distance from the barn. The frame is all 2x6, put 2 feet apart; it is sided with drop sideing, which 1$ sprung and put on around the barn. It has a silo in the center 45 feet deep in which they put

100 acres of heavy corn after it is cut into silage. They use the latest improved silage cutters, and the silage is blown into tne silo with a Cyclone blower as it is cut. The upper story is so constructed that they can drive in and around the silo and out again at the same door. There is room for 200 tons ot hay and 2,000 bushels of corn, and oat bins that will hold 2,000 bushels at least. It has a circular hay carrier track used for unloading hay, and it has sliding doors. This barn has been built six or seven years. A mail by the name of Helwig, from Chicago, was the builder.

Several farmer’s arounl here have gone to Monon to work on the stone roads. Oh my, I wonder what makes Sam Hall smile so when he goes over to Ed Blackaby’s? If you want to know the reason why Jess Garriott didn't take his girl to the show, ask John Rush. Bert Neese had better think of his pride and dust his buggy the next time he takes his girl out riding. John Rush, Nettie Caster! Bert Nees and Eva Noland attended the Uncle Tom’s Cabin show at Medaryville Wednesday eve. / The next time Guy Garring goes out en-the public highway with his mowing machine, he had better have his horses hitched to it. The excursion on the C. & W. V., was crowded with passangers going to the dedication of the Christian church at Asphaltum, Sunday.

COMHUNICATED.

The Democrat was handed the following article, with a request that it be published: What is the world coming to? The low-down man can go to a woman’s house and insult her and she will try to put him out and hold her own. The people of the town will hear of it and every time they see the woman out they will point her out to all strangers and make out she is a demon or worse. The man, the doer of this, they will take to them and he is all right. The woman will have to bear the shame of this while the man will be held up all right. If the people who do this will keep their own dooryard as clean as this woman’s, they will pass. As God says, the innocent have to bear the blame of the wicked, and it seems true. We hope some day these people will see their mistake. Now watch this woman and then watch this man, and see which is the erring one. %♦
