CARPENTER TOWNSHIP.

BY DON’T TELL.

Henry Marsh had a horse taken from his barn, week before last by his hired hand. Mr. Marsh started in search of the lad and after a few’ days of anxiety and a good deal of expense, he was found in Rensselaer trying to dispose of the horse for a small sum. But, Mr. Marsh, thinking that he had the oldest claim on the horse brought him home w'ith him. Mr. Wagner had traded his store in Sheldon for a part of the farm that he traded for the store and will move back on the farm as soon as he can get possession. Probably not this spring as the farm is already rented for one year or more.

As near as W’e can recollect this is the finest March weather we ever saw. If there is any one in Jasper county, that has ever seen finer just arise and speak right out in meetin’. A good many farmers are sowing oats at a lively rate. Ground is in better condition now foi’ seeding than it was at any time last season.

Eggs have dropped down in price to 10 cents per dozen. Wonder what has become of the McKinly tariff? Chas. Ulm is improving his time by plowing, sowing oats and shooting brants. Sylvester Gray is malting preparations to do a good deal of tiling this spring. George Nicholson’s smiling countenance was seen in this vicinity last week. Albert Gray’s property sold well at his sale the 15th inst. except the horses.

Geo. Jones, of Newton Co., was visiting in Carpenter last week. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy gives the best satisfaction of any cough medicine I handle, and as a seller leads all other preparations in this market. 1 recommend it because it is the best medicine I ever handled for coughs, coldsand croup.
