The cheapest place to buy your fall and winter goods in all lines is the 99 Cent Racket Store. Watch and wait for the great enameled ware sale, to take place on Sept. 30,1907, at the 99 Cent Racket Store, Rensselaer, Ind, Lots of pieces worth as high as one dollar—all go, your choice at 29 cents. Remember the day and date of sale. Newton County Sentinel: “The citizens of Rensselaer continue to heap scorn upon the name of McCoy,” says an exchange. It wasn’t thusly when the family had the “dough”—when the elder McCoy conducted that little sheepskin band in the interest of the G. O. P. and paid all expenses. Ob no, old Mac was a dandy along about then and it was considered a great privilege to grovel in the dust at his feet. Verily, bow the mighty have fallen. It is interesting to note that the price of corn and oats now are the highest they have been since the close of 1901 and beginning of the year 1902. On December 28, 1901, and the first part of January 1902, corn was 61 to 62 cents a bushel at the elevators in Rensselaer; oats were 46 cents; rye 45 and wheat 65. Prices of corn and oats drop-' ped during the latter part of January, however, and at the close of the month corn was down to 55 cents and oats to 42 cents.

An exchange says that the lady who gently tapped her husband on the shoulder at the social the other night and said, “Love, it is growing late, I think we bad better go home,” is the same one, who, after getting home shook tbe rolling pin under his nose and said, “You infamous old snaggle-toothed scoundrel, if you ever look at that mean, hateful, calico-faced, mack-erel-eyed old thing you had your eyes glued on tonight, I’ll burst your cocoanut wide open for you.” Mr. H. M. Shipman of Newton tp., brought in Saturday some samples of his yellow corn that is the best we have seen this year. Two stalks measured 13 feet in length and one carried two mammoth ears. The stalks measured nearly 5 inches in circumference near the butt. Mr. Shipman also brought in a couple of ears of a white corn that he grows that weighed 3 pounds and 1 ounce and measured 9| inches in circumference. He is saying the best of his corn for seed and already has much of it spoken for. Over in Marshall county the prosecuting attorney, it is charged, rented a house to some females who used it for immoral purposes, and in a recent raid that was made on the place the prosecutor was found at tbe house. In explanation he states that he had but a short time before learned of tbe character of the inmates and had stopped to give them notice to mpve out. On the other hand it is charged that the prosecutor knew of the character of the people who occupied his house —as did practically everyone else— for a long time. His presence in the place at tbe time of the raid was certainly unfortunate. \
