ATT Items of Interest j] from Surrounding Towns Tersely Told. Chronicling the Happenings in the Territory Adjacent to the Jasper County Metropolis

• ‘ PAIR OAKS. | —f— — i iff | 1— Mr. Baxter got done threshing last Saturday. Health is generally good in these parts nowadays. 'Mrs. A 1 Moore come up from Lafayette one day last week on business. ! Mrs. Ike Right visited with J. R. Right’s at Thayer a few days last week. We got quite a snow Tuesday which made the roads very soggy again. Rev. McClure filled his regular appointment in the M. E. church Saturday evening. Fete Wood moved from the Laura farm adjoiinning town onto the Lawler ranch Monday. Mrs. T. J Mallatt is still quite poorly and slight hopes are held out for her recovery. Barker Crawford moved from the Lawler ranch the first of the week into A 1 Moore’s property. The meetings that have been going on at Warren’s for a couple of weeks closed Sunday evening.

MisjS Minnde Cox went to Rensselaer Tuesday to visit her grandmother McGlinn for a few days.

Ben Zellers has rented a traction engine and is going around over the neighborhood buzzing up stove wood.

Chas. Mallatt, wife and two children of Michigan City came down Saturday to visit his parents a few days. They returned home Tuesday.

Mr. and Mrs. Cottingham went in answer to a message to Monticello to see his sister who had just had a stroke of paralysis. They returned Tuesday evening. It is reported that Eugene Barfoot. who has owned and lived on the old Halleck farm at Pembroke, the last several years, has sold out and moved back to Chicago.

We have been informed that Sam Potts has traded his property which he bought of the Cooper estate' to A 1 Helsel for the Hall and the Haze property in the west part of town. A. D. Washburn and Chas. Msanderville of Kentland were in our vicinity a few days ago, the former on business pertaining to his land near here, the latter to visit his aged mother. Mr. Teach, the gravel road man, came back Monday and says they will go to work on the road as soon as they can get their engine repaired which will be in the course of a week or ten days. Miss Retbie Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Brown of east of town, and Homer Lakin were joined ed in the holy bonds of matrimony in Michigan a few days ago owing to the objections of Mr. and Mrs. Brown. They returned Wednesday to endeavor to calm the raging tide which no doubt will be done.

MT. AYR. The Free Masons at Morocco have bought a corner lot in the business part of the city* on which they will erect a fine building. “Pat” Miller has sold his stock of restaurant goods to Geo. Lynch, the deal giving Geo. the entire run of the restaurant business in Mt. Ayr.

Farmers in this vicinity, as a rule, report plenty of rough feed, due largely to the absence of deep snows and excessive cold weather the past winter.

A Chicago paper is authority for the statement that a diplodocus 175 feet long hag been discovered in Utah. Gee that’s the longest diplodocus we ever heard of.

It is all settled now; we are to have an early spring sure. Sandhill cranes have appeared, and according to some of our local weather prophets, this is one of the early spring signs that never fail. X The Mt. Ayr Pilot reports a wreeli on the coal road through that burg. Possibly the engineer ignored orders and was trying to cover the ten miles between Mt. Ayr and Fair Oaks in a shade less than twentyfour hours.

The farmer who, last spring, tried the new-fangled scheme of sowing oats in with the idea that the spring freezes and thaws would cover the seed is making arrangements to do his seeding in the good old way this season. It would appear that writing is not such a poor job after all. For instance, there is our own George Ade. George now, owns 2,000 acres of Newton county’s deep rich soil, and a\|l at a cost of a few stub pens and’ a bottle or so of Seth Thomas ink. f . ' A 1

, Joseph Wright, one of Newton county's old pioneers, is dead at the age of about‘B4 years. Mr. Wright owned a good farm in this township, but had been a resident of Morbcco for the last several years. He was ;.. > wv . ,

an old soldier and a prominent Odd Fellow. - - iCC-,4-,'■/

As usual, we have a few farmers who are anxious to begin sowing oats. You just naturally can’t convince a certain class of men that spring—actual spring—doesn’t begin in northern Indiana before the first of April, and occasionally not before the first of June. ‘

That usually sensible and sedate bird, the barnyard hen, is acting mighty funny, according to the testimony of numerous housewives in this vicinity. Hens, it is said, are showing a general inclination to set, not a few starting in as early as the middle of February. As a result, there is a material decrease in the egg harvest, compared to this time last year.

Newton may yet be heard from as a maple syrup producing county. At the present time a number of sugar camps are in sucessful operation along the Iroquois river, George Herriman owning the largest perhaps, where something like 500 trees have been tapped. The flow of sap is reported as being the heaviest in years and the quality of the syrup exceptionally fine.

We drove intp Mt. Ayr last Saturday to ask the advice of “Daddy” Robertson, the Pilot editor, about applying for the position of cowcatcher on one of the tra/ns on our new electric railway, but “Daddy” informs us that there are already applicants for the job far in excess of the number of cows, and advised us to keep right on raising yellow dent--—at least, for a,nother year.

Land just over the Illinois line—no better than Indiana land—is sellig, it is said, for as much as $235 a acre, with buyers anxious to get it even at that price. Say, young man, if you expect ever to own a slice of this terrestial ball you’ll want to be getting a move on yourself pretty tolerably abrupt. What? Lon Bell, of Morocco, recently killed the largest wolf ever seen in this section of the country The animal jumped out of a brushpile and was smashing the world’s running record, when Bell pumped k bullet into its head, just back of its ears, causing it to perform the cartwheel act most beautifully. A Colfax township farmer told the writer recently that the proposed electric railway through this section of the country would never be built, giving as a reason that there were too many, “hinderin’ cawses,” and at times we are haunted by the fear that this farmer told the truth. These “hinderin’ cawses” not infrequently interfere seriously with our best laid plans. The writer once attended a religious meeting in the Ozark country, and at the conclusion of the sermon those who were seeking salvation were asked to come forward to the mourner’s bench. Among those who responded was a young, long-legged mountaineer, so constructed that a line drawn from his head to his heels would have cut him into at least four distinct and separate sections. His hair was the color of rye straw; he was in his shirt sleeves and he wore one blue jeans “gallus.” For almost an hour, and in a loud, far-reaching voice, this young man begged to be delivered from his burden of guilt, but without any apparent result. At the close of the meeting he cornered the minister and asked for a probable reason for his failure to receive the pardoning grace like any other white man. “Rest assured, brother,” replied the preacher, “there is some hindering cause, and you should examine your heart carefully with a view of discovering what this hindering cause is.” “Hinderin’ caws!” returned the young man in a voice vibrant with emotion. “Hindering” caws! Hain’t you all bin tellin’ me es I’d give myse’f up I’d power, and no blame questshuns ast, hu? And hain’t I give myse’f up? Hain’t I went for’ard fer fo’teen nights—fo’teen konsecertive nights?—and, now, here you cum mouthin’ ’round ’bout a hinderin’ caws. Blame you, I’ve a noshun to tan your hide now and yere—go to the dickens with your old fetch take meetin’,” and with that the young man turned abruptly and left the meeting house.
