People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 May 1895 — The Blind and Fourth. [ARTICLE]

The Blind and Fourth.

Don’t forget that Rensselaer has one of the finest bands in the state, and that it is superbly uniformed and equipped with first class instruments. The boys are in constant practice and their preformanoe is justly worthy the pride of every citizen of this city. Now then, if the people of Rensselaer want their ban'd ; to entertain them on the Fourth of July they must prepare for a celebration, for there are places where the boys are wanted, and where reasonable compensation awaits their acceptance. A number of the business men are in favor of some immediate action looking to the proper observance of the great natal day.

The Alliance will soon be stronger than ever in Indiana, it has introduced Life insurance among its business features, and we are glad to notice that the progressive farmers of Jasper county are taking hold in earnest in this matter. Among those who have already received life policies in the National Alliance Aid or “Aid Degree” are Austin Lakin, W. V. Hudson, D. E. Hudson and wife, David Michaels and wife, Enos Timmons and wife, H. W. Iliff and wife and S. T. Hamacher and wife. Other applications are being passed upon. The Order is doing a safe and conservative business on lines similar to those followed by the A. O. U. W. that has half a million members, though in some respects its policy is superior to those issued by any of the older Fraternities. The examining physicians unite in pronouncing the exam ining system a perfectly safe and honest one, and agree that a farmer cannot afford to, stay out of the Alliance as it is now doing business. ’We are pleased also to hear that other counties in Indiana are alive to their own interests and are organizing new Alliances and re-organizing old ones. - 3 Robert Randle is #gent for the Deeding binders mowers.
