Crops are very good with them again this year, and land valuea -are constantly increasing. A. O.

The largest one weighed 17 ounces and measured 13J inches in circumference; the smaller one weighed 15 ounces and measured 12J inches in circumference. Mr. Gamott’s crop is about 1,200 bushels.

Francesville Tribune: The taxes for the coming year in Jasper county will be almost doubled next year. Last year the levy was 37 cents. This year the county council made the levy 71 13-20 cents to cover appropriations amounting to $70,724 54. If the last legislature had passed the bills in favor of re-imbursing the county official that’ lost public money in the McCoy political bank, the levy would necessarily have been much larger than it now is this year. The new stone crusher for the Marion-Rensselaer stone road system was set up in the Judge Thompson field, near the old oil well, and was put to work Monday. At this writing there are some 20 teams at work hauling the crushed rock out on the Parker road, leading east from Alf Donnelly’s corner, and as soon as the other crusher is put to work this number will be increased largely. The haulers are paid 60 cents per yard for hauling and haul to 2 yards at a load, making three to four loads per day.

In the Hamilton-Fendig controversy the former tells us that he asked the deputy prosecutor, Mr. Leopold—who is also the secretary of the republican county central committee —if he would conduct a court of inquiry to find out who the parties are who have been taking part in the Rosenbaum gambling games, which said Leopold refused absolutely to do. He then asked him if he would act if he, Hamilton, would swear out an affidavit charging' Fendig with gambling, on the evidence he had to that effect, and again Leopold refused absolutely to to do anything. Now, what do you think think of that?

There has been some hot words passed between ex-township trustee C. M. Blue, who is now teaching at Fair Oaks, and Supt. Hamilton over the Fendig matter, and Blue is said to have publicly cursed the superintendent on the street in the presence of the latter’s young son. Mr. Hamilton took Blue to task about it and threatened to revoke his license also for his aotioa in running a hamburg stand every Saturday immediately in front and just off the sidewalk from the Strickfaden saloon, the stand being generally considered an adjunct of the saloon and reported to be run by its proprietor, Blue being simply an employe. Another young man, a teacher, who was reported intoxicated last Saturday night, is said also to be "shaking in his boots.”

HIGH COMPLIMENTS.

It has long been admitted by the public that the Democrat always contained the most artistic and handsome advertisements of any newspaper in this section of the state, and it is with no small degree of pride that we note that the Grocers’ Criterion, a trade paper published at Chicago and having a national circulation, reproduced in reduced size the full page ad of the 99 Cent Racket Store, that recently appeared in this paper, with complimentary remarks for both the printer and for Mr. Ransford for the well worded advertisement. Mr. Jones, The Democrat’s ad setter, with his many years of experience, has few equals in setting up an attractive advertisement, and an ad to be of much value must be gotten up nicely and attractively displayed. If you want your advertising to be effective you should first take it to a print shop that can put it in an attractive form and have it printed in the newspapers that reach the people you want to talk to through the advertisement.

CULP REUNION.

Last Thursday, Sept. 20, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Culp of Barkley township, occured a reunion of the Culp family. Despite the threatening weather in the early part of the day, relatives and friends came from far and near, and when the noon hour arrived one hundred and seven guests were present, and in the shade of the stately old apple trees partook of one of the most sumptuous dinners that was ever spread, rv Those trom a distance were George Long, wife and daughter from Monon; Ed Culp and wife of Remington; Charles Culp, wife and children of Kewana; Wm. Walters and mother, Mrs. Tea, of Battle Ground. The photographer was also present and after every one had "looked pleasant’’ music and old-fashioned games were indulged in for the remainder of the afternoon. Mr. Culp is one, if not the oldest resident born in Jasper county, and he with his venerable wife have merited the respect of every one that know them. At a late hour each returned to his respective home, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Culp many happy returns. The next reunion will be held at the same homestead the first Thursday in September, 1907. %*

The first football fatality of the season is expected to result from injuries received yesterday by William Snyder, a member of the Western University of Pennsylvania football squad.

Dannville, 111., Sept. 21.—John Harriott, a star quarter-back on the high school eleven, suffered a broken collar bone yesterday afternoon, while participating in a practice game on Williams’ fieldf Soon after putting the ball in play the high sohool eleven lined up against a scrub team, getting in condition for the game with Tuscola Saturday. The regulars were forced back by the scrubs and a scrimmage resulted. Quarter-back Garriott was caught in the meele and thrown heavily to the*ground, the entire bunch of players falling upon him.

JAY W. WILLIAMS SELECTED

• jW Am City Councilman to Succeed J. P. McColly, Deceased. At the regular meeting of the Common Council evening all members were present. The first matter taken up was the election of a councilman-at-large in place of J. F. McColly, deceased. Tom Grant had been talked of for the place and up to Monday it was thought he would be chosen, but it was finally decided that as he was to get one democratic vote at least—the democrats not being strong to elect a member of their own party—it would not do to h'ave him, and, getting word of the way matters stood, Tom withdrew his name. On a vote being taken Jay W. Williams, the furniture dealer, received two votes and J. C. Carmichael two. Mayor Ellis cast the deciding vote for Williams. Mr. Williams is a good business man, has property interests of considerably value here and should make a good counoilman. His election as city councilman vacates his office of county councilman, which he has held for several years.

A franchise was granted the Central Union Telephone Co., to erect poles in the streets and alleys to run their lines into Rensselaer. It is understood that the purpose is to simply connect with the local telephone station a direct line to be run through here and on to Chigago, but not to put in any separate station.

Hire a Good Painter But do not hire him too often. If you use poor materials, not even a good painter can give you a good job. Cheap or improper paint is very expensive in the long rim.
