The fire bell awakened our sleeping people last Wednesday morning about half past four o’clock. The cause of the alarm was the burning of Mrs. Wartena’s dwelling house, which was occupied by Sam Potts and family. The cause of the fire was a defective flue.

Frank Reed, general passenger agent of the Monon, states that the company’s through business south and north bound, is now exceeding in volume that of last year, but between local stations the business is not what it usually is, although an improvement is noticeable the last few days.

FARMER’S INSTITUTE. On Thursday and Friday of last week, was the occurrence of the farmer’s institute of this county. It was not as well attended as it should have been. We have about concluded that the farmers in time will get over the idea that these institutes are only for a few persons, not directly interested in agricultural pursuits and also connect it with politics. We will venture that every man who attended the institute this year, went home benefitted. He couldn’t help it. With two such able instructors as Messrs. Mounts and Voyles the success of any farmers’ institute is an assured fact. They are excellent instructors and we would be pleased to have them among us again.

These institutes are growing in favor every year and the time will come when their meaning and benefit will be fully appreciated. They show the spirit of enterprise and grasping for more knowledge as to how to more successfully cultivate the crops adapted to our own country. There is where the benefit is. It brings together the educated farmers. They come here for an exchange of ideas as to the manner in which the results of a year's toil can be bettered. Giving to our columns being crowded this week, we cannot go into details as to the different subjects taken up, and what would have been, far better—every one of our farmer readers to have attended, it would have been almost useless for us to have given so much of a notice as we already have. They would have received full benefit of the entire meeting. Arrangements are now being made for an extra session of the Jasper County Farmers’ Institute, of which we will give full particulars later on. Every farmer in Jasper county should make his arrangements to attend. The officers elected for the comtng year are as follows: President, D. H. Yeoman; vicepresident, F. W. Bedford; secretary, C. D. Nowels; treasurer, W. H. Hoover.
