The tow T n board being asked if they would reply to Marshall’s attack in his paper last week, said they would not notice it at all, as Marshall was suffering badly with the worms and was not responsible for his actions.

Geo. H. Timmons, the young romantic Irish comedian, with his excellent company, can be seen in the spectacular Irish comedy drama, “The Fairies’ Well,” at the Opera House this evening. Be sure to be present. He says we measured our street notices too large. Anoteer absolute false statement. —Republican. Would you like us to prove in the courts that it was not a “false statement?” We believe there is a section in the law which provides for criminal libel, and which will cover our case if we made a “false statement” in regard to the measurement. Do you want the proof?

Marshall ptill continues his baby whining this week and expects to get sympathy from the people. Brace up, old man, one of your age and experience should certainly be able to fight his own battle with an inexperienced boy, without playing the baby act. Albert C. Tolies wrote to an acquaintance in Rensselaer last week asking if the recent grand jury had returned an indictment against him for smothering his baby, and also if his wife had applied for a divorce. He is now in Illinois going under the name of Crowell. The wrathy ass of the rag sheet is still badly afflicted witn a sour stofnach this week and after taking up two and ft half columns admitting the truth of what we said last week calls us a liar. Our exposure of his attempted steal from the town sets heavy on his stomach.

They will be sold for part cash, the balance on time, or we will trade for other live stock. Laßue Bros.

“The Fairies’ Well” should be witnessed by all lovers of refined Irish drama. It is pure in tone, refined in sentiment, enlivened by beautiful singing and excellent dancing while the scenery is a beautiful reproduction of Ireland’s picturesque beauties. The play is a tribute to the worth and dignity of the Irish character that every descendant of the Emerald Isle can point to with pride in comparison to the hideous burlesque so often seen on the stage to-day. A company of more than usual excellence will personate the characters in the drama at the Opera House this evening. The prices will be reasonable and the company should be greeted with a full house.

We put the Rensselaer Pilot on our exchange list with pleasure. There must be vim, vigor and energy in the proprietors of that paper, for they glean the field of local events in Jasper as clean as Ruth gleaned the fields of Boaz. The Pilot is what can be called a first class local paper.—Kentland Democrat. Ncrtices of application for liquor license are legal advertising. Yet many of the coutny seat papers which charge the tax payers *lO and *l2 for a notice of the same length, publish these license notices for $5. And they don’t add anything to the paper’s circulation, either. —Goodland Herald. » We have a largif surplus of evergreens, maple, ash, catalpas, apple, pear, peach and a full line of small fruits. We will close out cheap. Parties wanting to set out anything in the above line will do well to give my agent a call.

F. A. Woodin, Nurseryman, Goodland, Ind. John Schanlaub, Agent, ftcnwelaer, Ind. According to Marshall’s logic he is justified in stealing from a firm which has got the best of him in a contract. An open confession is good for the soul, Bro. Marshall. But while we are on the subject allow us to ask you if you never treated any of your cash paying advertisers in the way we stated. We are willing to make affidavit that you have, and your lying will noc clear you of the charge in the eyes of the people. The editor of 6m exchange who knows what he is talking about says: A newspaper man’s space is just the same as the stock in trade of a merchant. Every line that the publisher gives to boom the town or say good words to the people should come back to him in some way by a generous support. The publisher has space to let and the business man is wise who contracts for some of that space “to let” the people know what he has to sell. We have never bid against that establishment [the Pilot] more than three or four times and in every case we named prices that would give us fair returns for our labor and material.—Republican. Allow us to correct you. Only once were the conditions such that you had to come in honest competition with us, and upon being awarded the contract you backed clear out, finding you would be quite a sum out of pocket.

Let the county advertising as you do the contracts for bridge building and other internal improvements—to the lowest responsible bidder. By this plan a largo amount of money would be saved to tax payers, and no interests damaged unless it be that class of newspapers that could not exist without subsidies. —Goodland Herald. lias Winters, who lives on Alfred Thompson’s farm in this township, woke up about 11 o’clock Thursday morning last and found the house in flames. He barely had tiiye to arouse his wife an<j rescue his children before the house was completely wrapped in flames. Nothing was rescued from the building. The house was insured for #325. Mr. Winters had S3OO insurance on the furniture, but being taken out while living in another township and not having had the transfer made, it is doubtful if he recovers anything.

The Columbia Improvement Company is the title of a now land company just formed in Rensselaer. The capital stock of the company is &5.600, divided into fifty-six shares of SIOO each.

They have purchased twenty acres of land east of the depot on the south side of the railroad and running to the Bedford road on the east. It is their intention to at once lay out streets and subdivide the land into 140 lots, and as soon as spring opens grade the streets, thoroughly drain the land, build walks and set out shade trees arbund every block. A good public well will be drilled near the center of the addition. When the improvements are made the lots will be. sold on reasonable terms and on payments. They also intend to work hard to get a canning factory located on the northeast corner of the addition and will endeavor to form a stock company for that purpose. It i's estimated that a cannery can be built for $7,000 or *B,OOO. If their plans are fully carried out this will be the prettiest part of town. The lots are supplied with good natural drainage, within three blocks of the depot and are within easy access of the school house. ) For a good smoke iry tfffc Safety cigar, f
