Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 September 1908 — Page 5 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

"' P. M. Hayes of Barkley tp.,- has the thanks of The Democrat force for some fine watermelons and' some Tuclous peaches. Mr. Hayes’ peaches have been hanging on a long time, and have more than doubled his expectations in yield. He thought at the start he might have 30 bushels, but after picking some 40 bushels concluded that there would probably be 60 bushels, fie had picked 66 bushels Thursday and thought there was four or five bushels more. They have been of good quality and he has sold them at good prices, not because of the tariff but because they were of good quality and the crop in the peach-growing sections has not been as large as expected.

Erastus Peacock and Dr. C. E. Triplet olf Morocco went south some weeks ago to look over the scenes of their army life. On the 45th anniversary, being the same days of the week of the battle of Chicamauga, Comrade Peacock and his old army surgeon spent the day on the field, visiting the spot where 45 years ago there was established a field hospital for the purpose of caring for the wounded. After spending Saturday and Sunday on the battlefield these old veterans turned their thoughts toward home, Mr. Peacock arriving Wednesday, and the Doctor stopping off at Cambellsburg, Kentucky, where one of his daughters resides, and one of his nephews 16 attending college. He will not be at home until next month.

John Anstis, with a party of four republicans, came all the way from Wlnamac to Hazelden to see Taft Wednesday, and the way Mr. Anstis was roasting the four when they arrived here was not calculated to make anybody think Taft, Watson or the “coon” did much good while at Ade’s farm. In fact none of them could be expected to do any good, no one could under the circumstances. William McKinley himself could not make “tariff” look good this year, with the facts fresh in the minds as such republicans as lost--$2 a hundred on hogs that were sold six weeks after the republican panic broke loose last October, the prices of horses and cattle breaking in like proportion, and the “tariff” had not even been threatened, nor did x it look then to republicans like there were any democrats left on earth.

The reunion of the 15th Ind. Inst. was held Wednesday as prearranged at the residence of Comrade W. F. Powers on River street. “Bally” had a tent of the regulation kind pitched in the yard which bore a placard showing the regimental headquarters were located therein. The noon mess was attended by eleven of the old regiment as fol-' lows: Andrew Jackson, Terre* Haute; A. B. Cole, Berkley, Cali.; E. G. Black, Lafayette: Richard M. Crese, Yeoman; R. H. Flinn, Lebanon: W. H. Dryden, Martinsville: Patrick Lally, Michigan City; A. N. Maxsan, Tacoma, Wash.; Stephen Thrasher, Francesville; John Sullivan and W. F. Powers of this city. This “mess” was not of the regulation kind. Mrs. Powers had charge of that matter, and if there was anything that was good to eat and not on the table it could not be procured In this town. Bally had invited some \>f his friends to help eat this sumptuous meal and they are a unit in praise of its excellence and of its satisfying qualities. After some literary exercises the old comrades dispersed and they will long remember the 47 reunion of the lath Ind. Inst.
