John has not takeh a vacation in a great many years, and is entitled to a good time this trip. The young man giving his name as Charles W.

Sheridan.

Tom Callaghan has quite a number of acres of onions near Newland that he is now harvesting that are yielding well and are of fine appearance. This season has been especially favorable for that locality Bill N. Jones says the worst thing about the formation of the Rensselaer Barber’s Trust, whereby an extra nickel is charged for having the neck “scraped” with a shave, is the effect it will have on the g. o. p. in Jasper county. The people, he says, are hollering so much about the trusts that to set up one right under the nose of our home folks will certainly have a disastrous effect ou the republican vote here. * Attorney W. J. Reed of Knox was in the city Saturday. He was on his way to Remington and from thence to Monticello, where the damage case against the Panhandle railroad for the killing of his father at a crossing at Remington a few years ago, came up for trial again Monday. The case was once tried in this court and a judgment for some $2,500 secured. The railroad company took the case to the appellate court where they were granted a new trial.

He is said to be a first-class barber and will not belong to the Rensselaer barber’s trust, it is reported, and will not exact an extra nickel for shaving the neck of his patrons, even though they have necks as long as a giraffe. He will occupy the Makeever building, formerly occupied by Freeman Wood, it is said. A woman must have written this: “Did you ever notice that tobacco is always clean. If a man drops a piece of meat, no matter how clean the floor may be, he will either give it a kick or pick it up and lay it to one side. He will never eat it. But let him drop his plug of tobacco on the ground and no matter how dirty the spot was where it fell, be will pick it up and give it a careless swipe on his coat sleeve or on the bosom of his pants and then take a chew with greater relish than ever.” Kellner, Hilderbrand and Rosenbaum state that they will go out of the liquor business entirely in Rensselaer, the former to devote his entire attention to his ice business, Hildebrand to move to Chicago where he recently bought a saloon, and Rosenbaum to conduct a soft drink establishment and restaurant in the room where hie saloon has been located. Kellner has leased quarters in the rear of the Fritts fruit store and the Paroels barber shop and will store hie fixtures therein for the present. Quite a party left here Tuesday for the west, some going to Washington, some to the Dakotas and some to Kansas and other points. Among the number were B. F. Ferguson and daughter Ethel, C. L. Thornton and family, Judson Maines, James Cambe of Remington, Miss Minnie White, Miss Grace Sayler, of Monticello, Mr. and Mrs. John Mills and Henry Mills, who were going to Washingon end most of whom were under Mr. Ferguson’s chaperonage, and Andrew Charles and Henry Snow who were bound for North Dakota.
