Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 February 1906 — Page 5 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

M. Baughman was in Monticello on business yesterday. G. Stackhouse, an uncle of O. F. Stackhouse of north of town, died at his home in Lafayette Monday, aged 96 years. A new time 'card will go into effect to-morrow on the Monon, but no official statementor intimation of what changes will be made has Veen given out to the' local agents as yet. It is rumored that the schedule will be somewhat faster and a new train or two will be added, but nothing reliable can be learned at this writing, Friday morning. The Democrat always keeps abreast of the times with new typefaces, printing material, paper stock, and carries the largest stook of ruled headings, envelopes, cards, flat and typewriter papers, print paper, etc., of any print shop in the county, and employs •none but the best of printers. Give us a call when in need of anything in the job printing line. ~t-T. A. Crockett moved to town Monday from southeast Marion, and occupies the John Greenfield property on the corner of Scott and Cedar streets, and will enjoy the fruits of his years of toil on the farm. The' farm Tom left — which he has now rented to his son George—he had resided on for fifty-four years. This is a recdrd that can be equaled by comparatively few people _in Jasper county. Memories: “Don’t you remember the old days back on the farm when the sun kissed the dewy grass at mom and at night the lowing kine came tinkling in from the pasture?” “Sure, and I also remember that I went down to the barn long before the sun bad kissed anything, and that when the lowing kine were not caressing my freckles with a damp tail they were putting their feet in the milk pail. Are you from the country?” Candor forced her to confess that she bad merely read about it.

Brook Reporter: The directors of the Newton & Jasper County Mutual Telephone Association met in the Murfitt hall Saturday afternoon and adopted by-laws to govern the association. They expect that it will be at least three or four weeks before actual work will commence on placing the poles and erecting the lines. At present they are not soliciting any subscribers, but are adding any who come in. as they have a sufficient number to place the association on a good working basis. The number of subscribers at present is nearly four hundred. It is the intention of the directors to purchase the best of ’phones and string heavy wires. Francesville Tribune: A subscription paper was circulated one day last week for the relief of Luther Watson and family, whose residence was burned in Gillam. J. J. Molitor had Francesville and vicinity south of gravel road and secured $75 20; P. J. Robinson solicited in Barkley and Rensselaer and obtained $60.75; C. F. Tillet obtained $26 in Gillam, making a total of $161.95, for which the solicitors wish to thank the doners for their generosity. The ladies of Gillam also deserve much praise for their assistance in securing clothing for the family. At last reports the mail order bouses of Chicago hadn't donated anything.
