THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY. DEC. 5. 1805.

A Shoe Factory for Rensselaer.

From Messrs. A. Leopold and Valentine Seib the Pilot is in formed a of matter of interest to this city, viz., the contemplated establishment here of a manufactory for infants’ shoes and other shoe specialties that will give employment to seventy-five or more people. The party refered to has similar factories now in successful operation in Wabash and Frankfort, this state, and will locate another in the near future in some place similar to Rensselaer. The product of these factories are as staple as any goods on the market and have been handled by local merchants who know the value and stapleness of the articles. The reasons for locating these factories in different towns is to secure cheaper operating expenses, and to take advantage of such inducements as towns seeking manufactories are willing to give. The gentleman will be here in a short time, and as he is perfectly familiar with the city and its advantages, he will ask a conference with the citizens interested in securing manufacturing enterprises, and make a proposition. It is understood that he asks SIO,OOO. This sum, or eve&islOO.OOO. can be raised to get manufacturing plants located here, but in these hard times, the fullest value will certainly have to be demonstrated. If it can be shown that the shoe factory will give constant employment to seventy-five hands, the manufacturer will interest Rensselaer people at once, and he can do business with them. If one factory is located here others will more readily follow.

Miss Nellie Traugh, of Remington, one of Jasper county’s best young lady school teachers and society favorites, attended the County Teachers’ Association last Friday and Saturdary, and was the guest of Miss Nellie Moss. Some of the young men are arranging for a number of club dances to take place at intervals through the winter, and expect to be able to give the first dance nexiTuesday night. Prof. Muerrato, who played the Italian harp at last Thursday’s dance, will probably be engaged to furnish the music for all the club dances.

Farmer Hopkins, who, in July last, booked a date for Rensselaer for December 13th, will be on hand next week Friday. Evidently he has had a successful run dr is well fixed financially,for about nine out of every ten companies have canceled their dates per force df circumstances. Possibly the attraction has sufficient merit to make a winner. At least the big company is coming to render the celebrated comedy.

A telegram sent out from Lexington, Kentucky, Nov. 24, tells of the distressing circumstances of Lewis George Clark, better known as as George Harris, who furnished the “Uncle Tom” for Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Clark is now 84 years of age, and the story of his destitution is pitible in the extreme. He was for several years on the stage, later a lecturer in behalf of his race and now lives in the negro hovels of Lexington off the philantnrophy of the public. A swell society event, gotten up by some of our progressive young men, was given at the Opera House Thanksgiving night. It was the annual ball, and in point of costume and music was one of the best ever given in our town. At 9 o’clock the grand march took place, led by Mr, Little, of Wolcott, and Miss Nellie Hopkins, of Rensselaer. Mr. Chamberlain had placed an arc light in the center of the dancing hall, and as the promenade passed under its glare, the effect was indeed beautiful. The orchestra, under the direction of Signor Marrati, of Chicago, was stationed on the stage, and pleased both dancers and spectators with the sweet strains of music. The harp solo is worthy of mention. In the gallery was stationed a phonograph, conducted by a gentle man from abroad, who, not to be outdone, gave several “phonograph solos” in a becoming manner. Among the visiting guests may be mentiondd the" names of Nellie Ward, of Monticello; Love Crampton, of Delphi; Maud Mullen, of Remington; Blanche Brown, of Danville Illinois; Mr. Little, of Wolcott; Mr. Rauch, of Kentland: Mr. Galloway, of Monon, and Mr. Raub, of Chalmers. At 12 o’clok supper was sferved at the restaurant, after which the dancers returned to the hall and tripped the light fantastic into the “wee sma’ hours.”

Mrs. Aaron Pearson, a sister to Deputy Sheriff Ben McColly, died Tuesday evening of last week, at her home in Union township, near Alter’s mill, after an illness of two weeks. She was buried Thursday in Weston cemetery, the services having been conducted by Rev. Brady, from the Christian church. Mrs. i Pearson leaves a husband and twelve children.

Rev. C. E. Voliva tilled the pulpit at the Missionary Baptist church last Thursday, preaching the union Thanksgiving sermon. J. L. Brady, who was announced to lead, was deferred from doing so on account of tak ing charge of a funeral at that hour. The sermon was very interesting, and was well attended. Wedding invitations were this week issued by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Thrawls inviting friends to the marriage, on December 18, of their daughter, Miss Evelyn Kline, to Mr. Rodney Crain, of Logansport. Miss Kline is a very prettv young lady, and is possessed of many close friends in Rensselaer. Mr. Crain is assistant superintendent of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and is recommended as one of the best young business men of that town. Immediately after the ceremony the young couple will go to Logansport, where they will begin housekeeping. The Pilot extends congratulations in advance of the happy union.

The following article by Miss Mollie W Babcock, well known here as a lady of much Christian influence, is republished from the Restitution, at the special request of Mrs. C. A. Roberts: He ye Kindly Affectionate One Toward Another. This Scripture was exemplified by my friends last holidays. I am so far from all of my friends and kindred mat none of them can visit me or give me the many little attentions prompted by affection and Christian fellowship. But I have been rernemberd so kindly this last year that it has done much towards reconciling me to my helpless and isolated condition. I received from a sister.in my former home a year’s subscription to the Restitution and my home paper. The fofmer gives me all the preaching that 1 hear; and the latter is as good as a letter to me each week. A sister in Plymouth, an old friend sent me a year’s subscriptions a very desirable magazine. While a sister in Chicago, a stranger (except through the faith,) sent me a beautiful illustrated' book of “Flowers and Song;” a sister in Philadelphia and one in New York, each sent me booklets (also illustrated) of sacred poetryThese gifts coming to me from the household of faith, touched me more than I can tell you. And 1 wish the donors could know how much pleasure they have given me, and how they have helped me to beguile the lonely hours of my sick room. There was the double pleasure of having them to read, when able, and the comforting pleasure of being remembeaed by my friends. I think that we (the readers of the Restitution ought to feel grateful to Bro. Robert Dwiggins for introducing the Christmas letters into the paper. And I

think thattheseletters have done more to draw us toother and unite us in the bonds of Christian fellowship than any other one thing. And they have encouraged r us in that they have shown us that there are more of us than we had thought for. In m 3 simplicity rthtmgtTV that we were dwindling away, fast dying out. That the little handful in Indiana, in Michigan and a few scattered ones in the west were all that were left of the faithful. So many, of the old people were dying off. and sp few young people were comiirg'TnTb~Take their places,"l thought it forcible that, we would soon cease to exist as a -church. I think 1 feltsoinething as the prophet Elisha did when iie went to .the cave Adullem in Mount Horeb, aed 1 began to think seriously wTTat 1 would do if I were left alone in a Community where there were none of our .people? lam not well calculated" to run the Christian race alone,, would I conclude that 1 was wrong, that I had given a wrong interpretation to the Scriptures? But after a careful review of the testimonies I felt more “sot in my way” than ever. There is nothing plainer to me than that the Scriptures teach that “Eternal life is the gift of God to the righteous.” That God will fulfill his covenant with Abraham.

“In thy seed shall all the world be blessed.” That that seed which is Christ is the noole* man who has taken his journey into a far country to get for himself a kingdom. And that his return will be the consuination of our hope. But I am weary. But when the Christmas letters began to appear in the Restitution and kept coming and coming from thd east, the north, the south, and the great west, I realized that God is able to take care of his truth, and that “He had yet a reserve of seven thousand.” “Who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” I also learned indirectly from the letters that i am not so isolated as I have thought. Brother and sister Upton live within two miles of this home. Sister U. and Miss Elton (daughter of Bro. George Elton, of Coll in wood, called on me last June. Their visit was short but very pleasant, and Mrs. Elton showed a motherly interest in me by instructing her daughter to ask me if this was a good home and a good place for sick people. Mrs. U. has visited me since and brought me Mowers and fruits, and we have had some pleasant visits together. But I am wearying myself and must bring my letter to a close. Like all of my letters now it has been written at intervals, days when I am feeling the best; some days not more than a half dozen lines. There is something about human nature that makes us cling to the associationsofotherdays. We shrink from the thought of dropping out of the places we once occupied in the lives and interests of other people. lam not able to write personal letters to all of my friends much as I would love to do so, but can reach all who are readers of the Restitution in this way, and will be glad to hear from any of you who feel dis posed to write me. The winter and spring months are so hard on me that it takes me all summer to get ready to recuperate. It seemed at one time that I would never again recover the use of my arms enough to be able to write, and I feel very thankful -that I am permitted even a limited use of the pen. I began to improve about the first of September just as I did last year at this time; but I am much more comfortable than I was through the spring and summer. And that is great deal to be thankful for. The coming of the Savior means a great deal more to me than it can possibly be to you who are living among your friends and associates. When I came here I left all my kindred and the associations of thirty years to come and spend my last days among strangers. The prospect before me now is not a cheerful one. The tendency of inflamation of the spinal chord is to paralysis. It may come soon, in my case or it may be that I shall suffer for years. No one can tell how or how soon it may terminate. I do not worry over this, in fact I seldom allow my mind to dwell on it, knowing that it will do no good and only it worse for me if I give way to forbodings. I trust that i will be given grace for whatever comes upon me If I am never able to write again think of me as looking and longing for that blessed hope even the coming of our Lord and Savior Je3us Christ, Yours in love. Mollie W. Babcock.
