ISAAC GLAZEBROOK.

Isaac A. Glazebrook was born in Edgar county, Illinois, March 15, 1850, and is therefore nearing his 40th birthday anniversary. When two years old he came with his parents to this state and has resided here ever since. He had the privileges of the common district schools, and spent one term as a student at Asbury, now DePauw, university. Thegreat-

er part of his life has been spent oil the iarrri. For a few years he tried mercantile business, but not meeting with the desired success, abandoned it and returned to agriculture, giving special attention to fine horses. Five years ago he quit the farm and engaged in blacksmithing. Though not a practical smith himself, he has, through the employment of expert workmen, been able to ' build u-p the best trade in the county. < In 1875 he was married to Miss Kate Bridges of Putnam county, Ind., and from this union there has been born one child, a daughter, Ara Lee, now eighteen years of age. Mr. Glazebrook is noted for his industry, honest dealings and sociable, friendly disposition.

‘‘Messengei,” ‘‘Der Batschefier” and the St. Joseph’s Collegien. The first two kre published in the interest of the Spiritual Benevolent Fraternity Established at the College. Although organized in Nov., 1895, they enjoy a wide circulation. St. Joseph’s Collegian is published during the scholastic year by the students. We fondly hope that in due time St. Joseph’s College wWI rank among the leading educational institution of its kind in the country.

Our staple agricultural' products are corn, oats, hay, wheat,' and rye, the last twocerals flourish best in the north part of the county. Market gardening is fast coining into prominence on our muck lands. With the development of this branch of farming we are expecting the establishing of the canning business here soon on an extensive scale. Already a canning' factory has been successfully run for two years at DeMotte and another at Brook. "
