Jacob R. Hazen formerly of 'Jordan tp., but now of Jensings county, was here last Friday with a gentleman from Rossville who was figuring on trading an 80 acre farm which he owned-in Jennings county for a dwelling and several lots in Rensselaer. Mr. Hazen told us that he had sold both bis Jennings county farms, getting 14,800 more than he paid a few years ago, and had bought a finely improved 8 acre poultry farm in the outskirts of North Vernon, and also owned a hotel property and three Mother rental properties in that place. He now devotes most of his attention to real estate and has a properous and businesslike appearance. -

The writer took his first ride over the '‘lndiana Harbor” road, as it is generally called, in going to Kentland Monday. One can make excellent connections from Rensselaer to points along that line by taking the milk train north from here in the morning to Shelby. A wait of about an hour is had at Shelby, where you get a train for Schneider, a division for the “Harbor” road, 6 miles west of Shelby,. Here

6 miles west of Shelby,. Here you find four trains, bound for the four ways of the compass. Schneider is not much of a town as yet, and the water come right up to the doorsteps of the few houses there. However, it looks like quite a busy place when all four passenger trains are there. The south bound train stops at al I stations and arrives in Kentland at about 10 a. m. The fare from Rensselaer to Kentland by this route is but SI.OB. If one wishes to return to Rensselaer the same day he can leave Kentland on the same road at 7.27 p. m., (after having had over nine hours there) and go to North Hayden, 1| miles west of Lowell, where a hack is always in waiting for this particular train and the hack fare to Lowell is 25 cents. A wait of about two hours in Lowell and you catch the Monon train due here at 11:30 p. m. This makes the most convenient and economical route to Newton county’s capital that we have ever had, and one,that will 4>e generally patronized by Rensselaer people when it is generally known the good connections made and the small expense. Of the new road, it is a dandy. Excellent trains of nice modern qoaches, has a smooth even road bed, and a very good passenger traffic is being worked up. ADVERTISED LETTERS.
