BeafftM* weather. Charley Roas has not been found. Plenty of good potatoes in our market now. Husking oom is what the farmers are at just now. Full stock of Toilet Articles at Harding & Willey’s. Do you want customer* t Advertise in the REPUBLICAN. “*"%/ -<« The “narrow-gague skirts” is the Western name for them. It is high time to begin fattening that turkey. Who will attend to it ? . i i ii— .0 i Mr. Horace James, of the Union, is expected to return home this week. We hereby acknowledge the receipt of wedding cake from U. L. Black and lady. Fast friends are good to have about when they are needed, but they should not be too fast.

On the 26th inst. a marriage license was issued to Henry H. Downing and Tillie J. Kitt. Rag money will be willingly received at this office on subscription. Never mind the specie. Mr. Mahlon Johnson, ofßemiagton, while out buggy riding, last Sunday, “took in” Rensselaer. A cold winter is predicted. This is not a cheerful prospect for the poor, but the wood dealer grumbleth not. Owing to the continued absence of Mr. Shepard Mr. Brown is unable to fix the date of their joint public sale. The business, men of Rensselaer are honest, keep good stocks of goods and sell low. Here is the place to do your trading. The season is arriving when men can no longer sit out doors on dry goods boxes and remark about the ladies as they pass.

The Indianapolis Sunday Courier and the Peru daily Times have both “gone dead” for want of proper encouragement to live. Prof. Lott, of the Anna Britton Troupe, talks of coming back to Reasselaer, this winter, and organizing a dancing club. It has been noticed that hous.s harboring young ladies were the most prompt in getting their parlor heating apparatus in order. Persons desiring to get stout, says an exchange, should eat their food slowly. Evidently in such cases, haste does not make waste. Mr. A. Reeve will no doubt meet with success in the photographing business, in Rensselaer, as he evidently fully appreciates a free use of printer’s ink. Mr. Charles M. Johnson, of Henderson, North Carolina, well please accept our thanks for late numbers of the “Southern Illustrated Age,” a paper published in Raleigh, N. C. It is reliably stated that the old Continental Railroad project is again revived, says the Lowell Star, and that work will commence soon and the iron be laid next summer. The Anna Britton Company have come and gone, and no doubt some of our citizens’ wealth have been somewhat diminished by the company having given six exhibitions in Rensselaer. The Marshall County Republican has been enlarged to a 9-column folio sheet. Messrs. Packard and Brooke are making the Republican one of the best and newsiest papers in Northern Indiana. Remember tbe grand temperance rally at the Court House next Thursday evening.— Good speakers will be present and address tbe meeting. Everybody is invited to attend. . Several copies of the spicy Vai paraisodaily Messenger have been received at this office. But tbe daily Messenger is destined to be shortlived. What a pity it didn’t “come to stay I” ■ e Boots and Shoes.—Do you want to save money? Do you want to bo justly treated? Do you want to see the finest assortment ? Do you want to avoid paying high prices? If so, call at Willey & Sigler's. The many friends and acquaintances *f Mr. M. L. Spitler and family will doubtless be glad to hear of their safe arrival in in Rensselaer on Wednesday evening. The Clerk win please accept our thanks for late files of Boston and Syracuse papers. Dealeis in wood, underclothing and whisky, have their hands full these days. Marriage license* are also in demand. It seems to be the determination all around to make the coming winter as comfortable aa possible,

By Subscribing for the Jarteb Rkpublican, you will be enabled to get the Weekly Indiana State Journal at $1.25 per year and one of those sectional and township maps of Indiana; and Louisville Weekly Cou/nerJoumal at $1.40 per year. We believe we stated at one time that the Republican had the largest circulation in Jasper county. We believed it at the time. We believe it now. More than that, we believe a majority of the citiiens of the county believe it. Wnether or not tbe Union believe* it ire care not Abeit invidia. The editor of the Rensselaer Rbpubucan is averse to the revival of spelling bees, and we rather suspect it’s because Charley’s orthography is defficient.— Monticello Herald. “Dwellers in crystal palaces.” etc. Brother Huff, how do you spell deficient ?

Baptist Convention.

The Indiana Baptist Convention holds it* jiext annual meeting in Evansville, Nov. 2d, 3d and 4th. Arrangements are in progress to enable persons who wish to attend, to go at unusuaUy low rates. Excursion coache* have been engaged from Indianapolis to Vincennes,and a special excursion train from Terre Haute to Evansville. Fare for the round trip from Logonsport to Evansville and return $6 00. For fcrther information inquire of G. E. Leonard, of Peru, who at the solicitation of the leading men of the denomination has made the arrangements and also securedhalf-fare on most of the connecting lines.

Electtons will be held in ten diffierent State* next Tuesday. . Stationery—-all descriptions—at Harding A Willey’s Drug Store. ' • The full official return* from Ohio give Hays a majority of 6,540. Latest stock of Stationery in town at Harding & Willey’s Old Line Drug Store. The whole of th* business part of Virginia City, Nevada, was totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday. The “epizoot” has broken out among the horses in Jasper county. This should influenzas to take better care of the hones. Mr.G. W. Terhune is erecting a new building on Front street for a blacksmith shop, to be run in connection with his wagon shop.

RAILROAD.

E L. Price has the largest stock of Seth Thomas Clocks ever brought to Jasper county. Also, if you want a good Watch call* at Price’s and purchase one of those valuable American Watches—best Watch made. M. Fowler and Lee Templeton, of Benton county, offer premiums on the best samples of corn raised in Indiana or Illinois, white corn debarroti, but open to all other varieties; $20.00 for best bushel in ear; $lO for second best, and —5.00 for third best. The exhibition will take place in the bank room, in Fowler, on the lasi Saturday in November. This we learn from the Benton Cour.ty Herald. The railroad news is of the most encouraging character, says the Lowell Star. A contract for 4,000 tons of iron has been closed, and the laying of iron from Dyer this way will commence in a few days. It is sincerely hoped that the weather will p ove propitious. In case offavorable weather we may yet expect the iron horse in Lowell by next Christmas. Let every one lend all his power to this grand proje« U When the iron is laid the dawning of better days for this section of country will be the result. When a Rensselaer girl retire* to bed now, she first fastens down the windows, then opens the door to its fullest extent to admit of re*dy exit in esse of necessity, then turns up the kerosene brightly, cautiously approaches the couch and tremblingly looks under the bed ; then she shuts and locks the the door, looks under the bed, lays back her back hair, looks under the bed, turns down the light, pokes around under tbe bed with a broomstick, and at last jumps into bed with a little yelp, and dreams of burglars all night. At least, that is what her brother told us.

Election Notice.

Notice is hereby given that the Stockholders of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association will bold a meeting at the Court House in Rensselaer, on Saturday, November 12th, 1875, to elect nine directors of said Association for the ensuing year. A foil attendance of the Stockholders is earnestly requested, as business of the utmost importance to the Association is to be transacted. By order of Board.

Picture Gallery.

The new Photography Room over Emmet Kannal’s Drug Store is now in operation. All kinds of Photographs, large and small, plain ar>d retouched, enameled, &c., &c., &c., &c. All sizes of Nonpareil or Alba Plate Pictures got up on short notice. In fact, all kinds of work usually done in a firstclass Gallery can be had at the New Room. I would say to those who have Old Pictures that they wish copied can get them dona in first-class style at the New Gallery. I would be glad to see as many of my friends as possible, so come one, come all, come great, bring small, and see the Pictures on the wall, and then at last make up your mind to go no more, as you have gone, but take the seat right in the light and I will show my work is right Will make jou smile to see what beauty there is concealed from the world, in that one face. Then send yoiir pictures to your friends, and tell them that A. Reeve is the artist, over Kannal’s Drug Store, at Rensselaer Ind.

Rensselaer Schools.

There are two hundred pupils enrolled tn the schools, and the interest has increased with the increase of numbers. During last week the pupils of the First Interm diate Grade brought in pictures and evergreens with which they adorned their room so as to give it a very .attractive appearance. This stirred up a spirit of emulation and by the close of the week the walls of every room were hung with pictures. In the Grammar and High School the following pupils contributed pictures and other ornaments : Misses Rosa Coen, Hattie Coen, Mattie McCoy, Lola Moss, Lillie Boroughs, Bell Conwell and Lettie Hopkins; also, Mas 'era Elmer Dwiggins, Delos Thompson, Chas. Wffner, Frank Terhune, Grant Warner and Hale Warner. These and all others who have assisted in anyway to beautify our school rooms will please accept thanks. Let all who can or ought to attend school, come in at once and attend every day. Do not wait until thn classes are half through the books and expect them to turn back for your accommodation, or new classes to be formed, for you will be disappointed Suit.

Gillam Township Items.

Everything is lovely in Gillam. The grass is green and tender. The cattle look well. Cattle buyers are plenty. Messrs. Wm. Nolan and James Randal bought a fine lot of cattle in this vicinity. Messrs. John Querry and H. L. Brown shipped a lot of to cattle Chicage. Mr. Phlegming Farris is going to move into hi* new house. Mr. “K. K. K.,’’ I think your sketch on single life is not correct, Because you could not get married and have much to regret. The girls can’t think of living a single life you know, And no one, except them, to share a happy home. The girls don’t think old bache’s tongues Will be considered slander, For his red nose plainly shows That he drinks to much brandy. The girls say there is some nice young men, And they know they want to marry. Let old batch say what he may, They don’t intend to tairy. Go farther and rejoice, On this point agree, That the girls are very pretty In little Kankakee. Now wake up, “Sand Lapper,” And let old rusty “K. K. K.” see That you are going to marry a girl That lives in Kankakee. Then sound the loud timbrel, And beat the bass drum. The girls will all marry When the Gillam boys come.
