Owing to the lateness of corn planting and the prospect that farmers would be. very busy on the date set for the Newton tp., democratic convention, the same has been postponed two weeks, and will be held on June 20 instead of June 6, the date formerly set for. John G. Shedd, president of the Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago, who with his wife and two children are touring Europe in a motor car, was recently injured. While passing at moderate speed in the road from Rome to Florence, the chauffeur endeavored to avoid a group of workmen and caused the car to veer sharply to one side. Mr. Shedd was thrown torward and sustained a fracture on the knee cap. No one else was injured. Mr. Shedd is a brother of S. S. Shedd of east of Rensselaer. The funeral of Geo. Hellengreen who died at Longcllff Asylum for an insane last week, was held from W. J. Wright’s undertaking establishment Sunday, Rev. G. H. Clark officiating. l . Mr. Hellengreen had been in the asylum about four years and had been an inmate of the county poor farm four or five years previous thereto. He was violent at times, and required a great deal of care and caution on the part of the attendants. He was about 27 years old at the time of his death. Interment was made in Weston cemetery. M. T. Parks writes from Bainbridge, Ind., in renewing his subscription for another year, and says: "Am glad that you are going to give us the news twice-a-week in the future. Of course all of us that have strayed away from Rensselaer and Jasper county like to hear the news from home, and the oftener the better. It will certainly be appreciated on our part. To-day (May 9) is the first time the sun has shown up since May 1, except for a few minutes last Wednesday, but it has rained almost continually every day. “Bill, my boy,” wrote the old man to the college youth, “when you’re tidin’ in them new fashioned automobiles at forty miles an hour, don’t forglt that you was raised to the ox cart an’ that it brung you to whar you air, an’ when you’re whirlin’ them golf sticks, don’t fail to remember that it was the ax handle that helped you to get ’em; and when you leave for your home vacation don’t forgit to leave your high falutln’ airs behind you, fer if you fetch any of ’em home with you, by heck I’ll wear out more seasoned hickory on you than you ever dreamed of growed in the woods." Remington possesses one of the wonders of the world —a team of horses weighing 280 pounds. This team is owned and driven daily by A. V. Lock, the sketch artist, and with Mr. and Mrs. Lock and the little road wagon this tiny team haul a load of 650 lbs., going at an astonishing pace. These horses are as near alike as two peas both in' color, size and shape. They are mouse-colored, except black manes and tails, and are among a score or more owned in Remington and they are no doubt among the smallest in use in the world. This team outclasses a team of six greyhounds driven by an insurance man out of Goshen some years ago, except that the greyhound man never needed shaving in very cold weather —the pace those dogs set when going down a stretch of good road kept his face as smooth as a peeled onion. DENTISTRY. All you’ve “guessed” about artificial teeth may be wrong; what we know about them is the result of long experience. Possibly it would surprise you to know how reasonable in price they are made our way. We make so many sets that we can afford to give you more reasonable prices than most dentists do—that is, for first-class work. We are told again and again that our work is by far the beet in the district. We always intended that it should be; we always try to give superlative service. We use the best materials, take greatest pains. Our fee depends upon what requires to be done. We always give estimates most gladly, and we guarantee entire satisfaction. J. W. HORTON, Dentist.
