M. J. Pierson returned from Washington, D. C., Thursday morning where he had been attending a session of the Supreme Court in a matter taken up from Fort Wayne, while he was engaged in the practice there. Mr- Pierson is a son of Henry Pierson who lives on the Benj. Harris homestead in Newton county. \M. R. Brown sowed a bushel of clover seed on ten acr& of ground in Barkley last year. This year he cut a crop of hay ofT the ground and then allowed the second growth to go to seed. The second crop was thrashed this week and produced 42 bushels and 30 pounds of seed. This is the biggest yield that has been reported so far. We are in receipt of a copy of the National Democratic Text Book. It is valuable and interesting and should be in the hands of every man Interested in the political issues of this campaign. A copy of the Text Book will be sent postpaid to any address for 25 cents. 1 Address, “Text Book,” Democratic National Headquarters, Chicago, 111. ' < The sharp winds these mornings are continually asking the embarrassing question, “What have you done with your summer’s wages?” The city man who has been out of work moßt of the time since last October, will have to think very hard before he will be able to give an answer that will be very satisfactory to him, especially if he has a family to keep in the meantime. N f , James H. Gilbert, John R. Wilson, Chris. Hensler, S. G. Hand and John Jordan were over from Remington Thursday on business connected with the new bank to be established there. There is some prospect, it is reported, of the new organization may buy out the First National Bank there instead of erecting a new bank altogether. If this is done, however, they will not buy the stock, and the new organization will be a state bank. It is now pretty certain that the people who were obliged to commence feeding stock in August, on account of the dry weather, will have to continue it until next May, which will make an unusual long winter, and no doubt many will have use for all their hay without hauling any to market. A nine months feeding spell is something new in Lake county, and is bound to raise the price of hay from the present quotations.—Crown Point Star.

W. T. Elmore was over from Remington in his Oldsmobile Wednesday.'' This machine »has been in use for four seasons, and Mr. Elmore says he has traveled more than the distance around the world in it, yet it is in fine shape and will do the work for a long time to come. This is in striking contrast to some of the machines that have been in use in this city, some of which have scarcely made a trip that did not give the operator plenty of work for his money. The county unit liquor option law provides that elections shall be ordered when 20 per cent of the voters of a county so petition, and if the vote of the county is “dry" all liquor licenses heretofore granted, subsequent to the passage of this law, shall be forfeited within 90 days, and all liquor dealers must close Up shop within said 90 days. The county, city or corporation issuing the license shall reimburse the dealer put out of business by a county going dry for the unexpired term of such license.

The name of James Donnelly of Rensselaer has been placed on the democratic ticket of Marion tp., for assessor, in place of Sam Scott, who withdrew because of his intention to move out of the township. Mr. Donnelly made the last assessment of the real estate in Marion as assistant for Assessor Hordeman, and none of such assessments have been disturbed by the couty board of review, we understand, which is certainly a compliment to Mr. Donnelly’s good judgment. If elected he will make a careful and painstaking officer. NlMiss Blanche Kenton was marred Monday to Dr. Fred T. Rice of Punkwana, So. Dak., and in a few weeks they will go to that place to reside. Mrs. Rice Is the youngest daughter of William Kenton, well known in this county, and her mother, now deceased, was a sister of the elder Hemphills’ of this city. She was born in this county, and grew to womanhood here. When the family moved to Mitchell, So. Dak., four years ago she went With them and has resided there since.

The luscious tomato is on his last legs, and with g few more cold nights he will have passed into history—those of him who have not passed into the canning factory—to reappear this winter to make glad the hearts of his many friends. There haß been a very good tomato crop this year, cut somewhat by the dry weather, and the price has been much more reasonable than many other sjtaples that go to make up the good things we eat. Many bushels in Rensselaer have been sold for 60 cents, and a bushel will make “right smart” of feed. We can save ypu 25 per cent on your fall stove and give you the world’s beet, The Acorn.
