The work of placing’Tfie gravel on the Long Ridge road was commenced last week. The contract for this part of the work has been relet to Messrs. Lowman & Voss, of Francesville, and it is being put through in a hurried, though satisfactory manner. They are securing the material from the Stackhouse gravel pit. On the College road the work is being pushed also. At the hill near the Catholic cemetery, south of the college, a great cut has been made, almost leveling the pass through the hill. The gravel to be used on this road has been decided upon. The commissioners have been making examinations and think that the Shields gravel is the right kind. It is said that the top dressing will be of Lafayette gravel. The very best material should be used so as to make the road a permanent thing, and not to necessitate a heavy expense of repairs every year. Lost—A basket and valise between Rensselaer and Osborne, on Thursday of last w T eek. Finder please leave at Hugh Robertson’s, in Rensselaer, and receive reward. Rose Robertson. Henry Waterson. editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, lectured in Fowler -on Tuesday evening of last week. If you want really first class work wait for the palace photo car. It will be in Wheatfield soon.

Victor Hugo's masterpiece, “Les Miserables,” is perhaps better known to American readers than gany other work of fiction written in a foreign language, and his hold upon the popular imagination comes from his large, intense sympathy with every phase of human life. For this reason many readers of the current magazines will turn first of all to B. O. Flower’s thoughtful and suggestive critical commentary in the June Arena on “Victor Hugo’s Social Ideals.” It is the concentration of the great poet’s social philosophy. The regular morning services at the Christian church were omitted last Sunday morning, and children’s day exercises were held instead. A very interesting program was rendered. Abe Warne, the genial postmaster and merchant of Parr, was here last Wednesday. He called at this office and had bills printed for their 4th of July doings. Walker towship Republicans last Saturday nominated John Petit for trustee and John O’Conner for assessor.
