CITY AND COUNTY.

.tdditional Local Srirx Mill be Found on the Seventh and Other Fayes Simon Fendig was down from Wheatfield to spend Sunday. A genuine first class top buggy only $41.50 at Robt. Randle’s. W. H. Porter and wife were in Chicago Sunday and Monday, combining pleasure with business.

W. W. Israel has undergone a> surgical operation at the homeopathic hospital in Chicago and is reported doing nicely. See Robt. Randle before purchasing a corn planter. The newest improved make described in large advertisement in this paper. August Stimson of Stoutsburg was in Rensselaer from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Craig. Mrs. Mary Cover of Virgie was in Rensselaer Saturday and remembered the needs of the Pilot by adding her name to honor roll.

All who failed to pay the first half of their taxes last Monday are now delinquent and will have the whole amount with penalties to pay. A good, all steel, double shin, steel beam, walking plow, with fin cutter. The best plow on earth for the money—only $12.50 • at Robert Randle's. Geo. Besse of Remington was a welcome caller at the Pilot office a few days since, while in town to settle his account with the county treasurer.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1895.

Best galv. barb wire 24c lb. at ■ J. M. Hufty’s, Mt. Ayr. Ind. A nearly new *125.00 organ, uninjured. Cor sale at a bargain. Inquire at this office. Mrs. F. B. Meyer returned from an extended visit in New Orleans last Saturday. She was entirely ignorant of the tire that occurred in her home during her absence, as friends did not wish to mar the pleasure of the vis’t by such disturbing news.

Dr. J. H. Honan, brother of Rensselaer's efficient postmaster, has been elected to the chair of physiology in the new McKillop Veterinary College in Chicago. He is now chief inspector at the Hammond stockyards, and his new honors will not interfere with his federal duties. Twelve new pews were placed in the Catholic church last week. The congregation has quite outgrown the capacity of the building and it is probable a new and much larger one will be erected in the near future. It is suggested that probably the old church will be remodeled for a parochial school. Harvey Crosscup of Kearney, Nebraska, arrived last week to permanently locate here. He is stopping with his brother, Chas. Crosscup, and will send for his family as soon as a vacant house can be secured, which may be some time yet, unless he gets the carpenters to work at a new one.

Not a vacant house, big or little. in Rensselaer, and families waiting for the many new ones now being built in all parts of the town. ’The activity both in the construction of new houses, the improving of old ones and in the transfer of real estate holdings is something remarkable, and probably no city of like population in this part of Indiana can nearly equal it. It is not the result of any combination of real estate boomers, because there are none here; it does not come from any new discovery of natural resources or the establishment of ‘-assisted” manufacturing; there is nothing fictitious or inflated about it, but just the natural growth of naturally excellent conditions for the build ing of a solid city by an enterprising community that recognizes enviable possibilities for the very near future.

The Model's annual mid spring opening of Spring capes During our grand opening, The Model will show 150 to 200 of the pretty spring capes in all colors.

Muslin work of all kinds and I i plain sewing done by Mrs. Lot- • tie George. i Agency for Pratt's Poultry ! Food, and Stock powder. Frank B. Meyer's “Old Reliable.’' C. A. Roberts and wife were called to Indianapolis Wednesday by the serious illness of Mr. Robert’s brother. Among those who were in Rensselaer from other points in the county last Saturday were, Morris Gorman of Foresman, Fred Lang of Surrey, Austin Lakin of Fair Oaks, Warren Bray of Wheatfield and W. C. Parkinson of Pleasant Ridge.

Farmers who are burning old straw ricks are surely destroying much valuable fertilizing matter that they could use to good advantage on their fields. One dollar’s worth of lime or salt applied to a straw stack will in a short time make five dcllars worth of manure. Don’t burn the old straw piles. Edward Duvall has recently sold his residence property on Front street, which has long been occupied by his father, John W. Duvall, to a gentleman in Chicago. The party came down from the city and traded the property to Alf. W. Hopkins at an advance figure. Town property, here, as well as land, is now on the boom, and we are glad to notice this fact, as we have one of the best located little towns in the state, and one that is rapidly coming to the front. Mr. Duvall will occupy his former residence a short time, until he can move into his i new residence now being built.

The Pilot has mentioned in previous issues the need of wide tires for wagons to preserve the roads. Four inch tires are in general use in the northern part of this county and the effect upon the roads is at once noticed by the traveler. They are of themselves road makers as well as road preservers. No better use could be made of road tax funds than to exempt, in part if not fully, from its payment all who use vride tires. It has been demonstrated that loads can be more easily hauled, upon all kinds of good or bad roads, with wide than with narrow tires, and the cost of changing a wagon to the former is but about $12.00.

Call on Melvan Kenton at Surrey for gas burnt tile. Any size, good quality and reasonable. T. J. Sayler and Isaac Glazebrook have put in a water-tank between the blacksmith shop and the mill which will be of great use to the thirsty public. Mrs. E. P. Hammond and daughter. Miss Nina, attended Easter service at St. Augustin’s Catholic church. They were guests at the home of daughter and sister, Mrs. W. B. Austin. Every road in this locality since Monday has been literally thronged with herds of cattle and horses moving out of winter quarters into green spring pastures. It may not be generally known that Mrs. Goff has few equals as a pastry cook, but such is easily proven by sampling her delicious Angel food cake, which may be had at the restaurant for 50c each.

Farmers of Montgomery county think they have actually over done a good thing in the way of tiling. They say their ground is only moist about a foot, and below that depth, for ten or twelve feet, it is perfectly dry and hard. It is the opioion of many that this hard subsoil will not be penetrated by the April and May rains and consequently there will be no reserve moisture to draw r upon from below when dry weather sets in.
