Aix.

The weather has got warm at last. Farmers are getting ready to plant corn. James Garriott’s called on M. P. Comer and family Sunday. Jike says it is warm enough again to make garden if Nan is ready. James Hurley is working on the sawmill for D. H. Yeoman, of Rensselaer. The Renicker Bros., of Rensselaer, spent Sunday with their brother John, of Blackford.

A Mr. Pumphrey, of Rensselaer, is hanging paper for Mr. Renicker and Comer’s this week. James Wiseman’s, of Aix, are sick. We understand three of them are down. • Dr. English is attending them. The Sunday School at Brushwood is organized again and it is now in running order with Samuel Potts as superintendent. M. P. Comer says it has been so cold all winter he could not work and now it is so warm he can not work. Will some one please tell him what to do. The long winded law-suit which John Brown has been waging against the Monon for damages occasioned by the fire burning over his land in the south part of the county, has Anally come to an end. The case was commenced here several years ago and went to Jasper county on a change of venue where it was tried and a judgment rendered in tavor of Mr. Brown for something over $5,000. The railroad appealed the Cuse to the Supreme Court from which court the case was transferred to the Appellate Courts a few weeks ago, and this court last week decided the case against the railroad. The judgment and costs now amount to nearly s7,ooo.—Crown Point Register.
