Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 April 1905 — EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS. [ARTICLE]

EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS.

Goodland Herald: Mr. Ela, special rural route inspector, was here Monday, and after going over Goodland’s claims for another route decided that there would not be enough patrons to justify the installation of another route. Such things as the Wolcott bank failure are possible in a state that has no authority over the private banking system; a state that provides an open door for financial pirates and unprincipled speculators. It wotbld seem that the honest private 'bankers should demand that their business be protected.—Lafayette Courier.

Pulaski County Democrat: The fight fdr possession of the Francesville depot grounds is rather quiet these days—no court in session and no place to have lawsuits. The railroad company has perfected its appeal to supreme court in the case in which Hathaway and others were granted an injunction restraining the company from conducting itself as the owner of the land. A motion has also been granted by the higher court advancing the case, and it is expected that a decision will be handed down by June 1. Winamac Journal: Mr, and Mrs. J. W. Hutchinson, of Jasper county, last week removed to Winamac, with the intention of becoming permanent residents in this vicinity. Mr. Hutchinson is negotiating for the purchase of a small tract of land near town, which the family will occupy. Mrs. Hutchinson has many relatives here, among whom are her brotheF, J. R. Dukes, and sisters, Mesdames Rachel Thomas, Cordelia Warfield and Ann Megahan. Mrs. Hutchinson (as well as her husband) is cordially welcomed back to her old home.
