JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NEWTON COUNTY. W. W. Miller of Mt. Ayr is having lumber sawed for a new barn. There is one good thing that can

be said about the straw vote.—you can vote twice without violating the election, laws. Charles Campbell, the old reliable sawyer, is operating a sawmill in Jasper Makeever’s timber west of North Star. Mrs. Joseph Wright, one of the pioneer women of Jackson township, was reported quite sick Wednesday morning. The corn and ftoultry show, which closed at Goodland on Friday of last week, is said to have been the best show of the kind ever held in Newton county. Earl Kennedy of Colfax township, who bought the old John Goetz farm west of Rensselaer, will take possession of his new purchase next spring, we are told. The Morocco telephone plant, which has changed owners eight or nine times in the last year, was traded to Oliver Stoner of that city the Other day for 200 acres of land in Beaver township. The team belonging t,o Mr. Lakin, the Parr peddler, took fright and ran away Tuesday, starting from a point near Jasper Makeover's and bringing up about two miles further down the road. No serious damage.

The evil effects of the European war, it would seem, extend even to Br’er Rabbit of this country The high price of meat is causing rabbits Yto . be hunted this winter, farmers say, with ' a persistence never before known. It is said that farmers along the edge of the big marsh in West Creek township, Lake county, are sitting up o’ nights devising schemes for getting rid of their surplus money, all owing .to lhe big crop of corn raised in that region this year. According to the newspapers there were about 4,000 Republicans in Indiana who disfranchised themselves at the last election by not knowing how to vote. But what could you expect from a bunch that so readily swallowed the brand of Republican dope handed out during the campaign. We observe that George J. Cummings of Thayer has presented a petition to the commissioners of Newtdn county for an ordinance granting” to him a franchise to construct • and operate a pipe-line, to include Thayer, Roselawn and surrounding region, for the transportation of natural gas. A certain citizen of Jackson township, and a warm supporter of Charles Evans Hughes at the recent election, knocked his wife down with a rail last Sunday, it Is reported. There are extenuating circumstances, however, with reference to the man’s conduct. He was peeved about something and' he used a small rail. A traveling salesman from Watseka, Illinois, lost control of his Ford while in Morocco recenitly, with the result that "Lizzie’ made

a bee-line for the postoffloe, butted the door open, stuck her nose inside and gazed around inquiringly. V. P. Hope, who was standing in front of the postofllce at lhe time, was badly bruised. Bogus island, in McClellan township, noted for having been the rendezvous of a band of counterfeiters in the early histoTy of Newton t county, has . been despoiled practically of all its glory as a landmark. The island has degenerated into a commonplace, truck patch, and where once the rude forefathers and the festive outlaw met in mortal combat there now broods monotonous quietude. Must bo something out. of kilter with our mail service. Last week’s Jasper' County Democrat (lid not arrive here until Tuesday of this week, and the Kentland Enterprise, which is johnny on the spot, as a rille, was also a day or two late. The delay caused poor Abe Bringle, the carrier, to come in, of course,, for bis full share of abuse along the route. "He had hidden those papers in a hollow stump, he had thrown them away, he had fed them to his horse, used them f°r lung protectors, traded ’em to -i rag buyer for a pair of galluses,” besides making away with them in divers and sundry other ways. ‘‘Protect the (mails,” is a piece of advice which* the local newspane rs hand out lo’ the farmers each winter with monotonous regularity. Yes, indeed, protect lhe ‘quails, but how ar<» you going to protect them when so hiany hiinfer.< show 1 absolutely no respect for lhe game laws, for the farmer's rights as a land owner, or, in fact I anything else for that natter. The ; farmer, as a rule, tries to nroteet his quails, hut what chance has he against the pot hunters from towns and cities who labor under the delusion that they are sportsmen and who boldly invade the farmer’s premises-—during his absence perhaps—and shoot about everything in sight, not overlooking cattle and horses even. The farmer is willing, anxious and ready to protect. not only quails, but other game that is fast, becoming extinct what he wants is some wise person to tell him how to protect himself against the pot hunter.

For Croup-- Mothers— Always Keep this Handy

Th* day of the Croup scare la over for those parents who wisely keep Toley’s Honey and Tar Compound la th* home ready for instant use. W. C. Allen, Boseley, Mo., writes: “I have raised a family of four children, and have used Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound with al' ■- “ " i . I f-d it the best croup am I have ever used and I have used it for eight or ten years, and can recommend it for croup. If toward nightfall the little ones f;row hoarse or croupy, if their breathng becomes wheecy and stuffy, give them Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound promptly and it will ward off an attack of ertup. If you are awakened by the hoarse brassy cough that means croup, give Foley s Honey and Tar Compound at once. It will ease the little sufferers quickly, cut' the thick choking phlegm, and. soon they will have easy breathing and peaceful quiet sleep. d * * Bvury user to a mead. Sold everywhere
