SMALL TALK.

—Don't forget the Thanksgiving services to-day at the M. E. church. —The December term of the Commissioners’ Court will convene next Monday. —A handsome, new oval-glass showcase now-adorns a counter at Larue's drug store. —Mrs. Mary Tharp is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Frank Hausman, at Indianapolis. —Misses Jennie Falling and Nannie Crouch, of Monticello, are the guests Miss Lizzie Purcupile. ■ —The Poetoffice will be closed today (Thanksgiving) from from 11 am. until the arrival of the night mail. —MiEmma Gibeon returned to Lafayette, Tuesday, after a three weeks’ visit among relatives in this place—Mrs- S. T. Royal (nee Mamie Cole) and daughter, of Dayton, Ind., are here visiting mother and brothers, this week. —lt is reported that the Rensselaer feminine equlsites will be responsible .for the management of a Thanksgivdance at Starr Hall, to-night —Col. S. N- Yeoman, general manager. and Mr. John Milliken, Assistant Superintendent of the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago Railway, spent Sabbath at this place. —Dr. W* L. Hamar, the dentist, has removed his office to the rear of the Jewelry store, where he will be pleased to serve all his old friends and customers and many new ones. See his card in another column. —Every farmer In Jasper county ought to take two or more weekly newspapers for their families to read during these lone jvinter evenings, and we wish to suggest that the Republics iF is the best paper you can get for the money. ’ —Mr. and Mrs. John Greenfield and John R. Watt, left this place last Friday to spend the winter in New Mexico. The principal object of the visit is the improvement of Mrs. Greenfield’s health. Mr. Watt has promised to write an occasional letter for the Republican.

—The Educational Department of the Republican, edited by Mr. D. B. Nowels, the County Superintendent, Is eliciting the attention of teachers, scholars and parents generally. The names of about fifty teachers have already been enrolled upon our subscription book as subscribers to the Republican, and we expect the list will soon comprise theentire corps of teachers in Jasper county. —Sims A Emet’s Olio show, billed for Starr Hall, Saturday night, failed to draw, or in other words‘‘the amusement world” of this place refused to be “drawed.” The day for cheap tomfoolery and country burnt-cork contrabrand school-house exhibitions has gone by in Rensselaer, and her citizen demand that they be entertained with something of a greater intellectual character. —lrish John, the jovial night-clerk at the Hopkins House, who is troubled with a little lameness in one of his pedal extremities, gives it as his ‘•opinion that the Good Man is partial to the rich, judging from t he multiplicity of afflictions the poor are required to He takes pleasure in quoting—“ The rich can ride in chases and the poor, bejasus, can go a fut,” with a sore fut at that, —F. J. Sears & Son have rented the west room of the Makcever building and intend filling it within a week or two with a large and complete stock of Furniture, Carpets, Oil-clothsand House ; Furnishing Goods. The senior member of the firmisnow at Chicago making purchases, and those in need of anything in the line of goods mentioned will do well to defer purchasing until thiH new firm is ready* for business. They are well known in this county as accommodating men and fair dealers and they will doubtless receive a liberal patronage.

—We hope the the Republican throughout tm? county will make an effort to extend its circulation. If the old subscribers pay up promptly and we can add from three to five hundred new names to our list between this and the first of April next, we shall supply the office with a steam cylinder press, new job presses, new type and everything necessary to equip an office and print a paper that will do credit to Rensselaer and Jasper couory. At the present age. towns and counties are judged abroad by the appearance and character of their newspapers, and this being true, a good, live, properly-conducted, handsomely-printed, well-patronized newspaper will do more for the credit and prosperity of the place where printed than any other enterprise. All we need for the accomplishment of this work is the assurance that the patronage we shall justify us in investing the necessary means. One of the things essential to the success of every newspaper is to have all subscription paid in advance. The need of this is doubtless apparent to every reader and need not be stated here. —We wouldn’t presume to instruct the sturdy yeomen of Jasper county how to farm but we take the liberty of saying that it would r evidently appear to a man up a tree that a goodly number of farmers plant nlore corn than they can find time to cultivate. We have arrived at this conclusion from the weedy condition of the average cornfield and the number of nubbins offered in this market. The soil in this county is capable of producing the highest quality of cereals but no system of agriculture is sufficint to raise a good and profitabe crop that permits the grass and weeds to have an equal chance with corn. It is a common practice among farmers in newly-settled counties, where land is cheap and plenty and reasonably fertile, to plant a large number of acres and trust to Providence for a bountiful yield, but since the day of Adam’s transgression, when weeds, thorns and thistles commenced a spontaneous growth, Providence has not found it profitable to deal with his people in that way. Both theory and practice teach that twenty acres of corn well cultivated will produce a greater value of grain than forty acres where the weeds are allowed to vie in growth with the crop.

—Leave orders for job printing at the Republican office—A corporation ordinance prohibits cattle from running at large upon the streets of Benaaelaer during the winter season, commencing next Monday, December Ist. Owners of bovines will please take notice—We have a communication this week from “Rambler” who la a squaretoed citisen and a good paragrapher. We hope to hear fom him soon again, for it is pretty evident that bis articles will add much interest to the columns of the Republican. —George W. Filmore, aged 2 yean and 1 month, died at the residence of his parents, in Barkley township, on the 12th Inst. In the note received the names of the sorrowing parents were not given, but they have our heartfelt sympathy all the same. —A call for a meeting of the Green-back-Labor party of this county, has been signed by a number of the leaders of that organization, to be held at the court bouse, Saturday, December Sth. We learn that the principal object of the meeting is to discover if the party is dead, if so to hold a post mortem examination for the purpose of determining the cause of its early demise, sing a funeral dirge, and with lamentations of grief consign it to the tomb of everlasting oblivion. If it is found that the party is still gasping for existence the question as to the propriety of resuscitating the emaciated body will be ably discussed. We shall awaid the decision of this august body with considerable anxiety.

—The cry of fire last Thursday night struck terror to the hearts of many not accustomed to such alarms. Some one rang the court house bell, but before the alarm became general the fire, which had a pretty fair start in one of the upper rooms of the graded school building, was extinguished. The amount of damage done has not been reported, but we are informed that it was a very narrow escape. We would suggest to the town council that inasmuch as the town is not protected by an organized fire department, some means should be employed whereby a speedy end complete alarm could be Bounded in case of fire. The expense of a fire-alarm attachment to the court house belt would be but a trifle and might be the means of saving much property by calling promptly for aid. Any blacksmith can make it in a day and put it on, with a rope leading below so that the alarm can be sounded by any one. The ordinary ringing of a bell even at the dead hour of night, does not indicate danger for the reason that such things are of common occurrence, especially during times of court. —Our mailing machine Is now In working order, and the names of all subscribers, numbering some 350, receiving the Republican at the Rensselaer postofflee, have been put in type. Ina week or two those received at other postofflees In the county and throughout the States and Territories will also be mailed by machine. By this means no names can be overlooked and postmasters cannot say to subscribers that the publisher did not send the paper, for the machine can make no mistakes. Subscribers will also note that the date of the expiration of their subscription is given immediately at the end of their names, so that-all may know when their time of subscription expires and when to pay up. We are sending the Republican to a number of persons in the county whose subscriptions have been due for some time, but Mr. James, our predecessor, gave us the names of those parties believing them to be entirely responsible and honorable and willing to pay at the first opportunity. We hope no one will abuse the confidence expressed. —A reporter of the Republican informs us that the temperance meeting at the court house last Saturday evening, was unusally interesting. Several telling speeches were made and a general good feeling manifested by all present- But the bestof the wine was reserved for the last of the feast. Lyman Zea made a few scattering remarks which gave rize to considerable merriment. Being an enthusiastic Republican be could not resist the temptation to advise the temperance workers to “go at ’em and push the thing along as the Republican party did in New York and Pennsylvania.” Of course the audiance applauded—not the political reference but the speaker’s zeal. It was too much, however, for Mr. Price, the president of the society, who takes but little stock in Republican triumphs, and remembering the aversion the public has for mixing partisan or denominational matters with the subject of temperance, remarked with a smile and a nod —“stick to the text, brother Zea, stick to the text.” As a temperance orator brother Zea is not an entire success, but his remarks come in good play occasionally to dispel the monotony of the regular routine of business—Among the passengers on the northernbound train Monday night were two men from the southern part of the county, who are carpenters in the employ of Mr. J. H. Wood, the contractor, at this place. They were returning from a visit to their families. At the depot they were met by a hotel runnor somewhat under the influence of liquor, who solicited their patronage. One had been boarding at the Nowels House and his partner concluded to accompany him there. This rattled the seeker of hotel patronage, and prompted by the encouragement the spirits gave him he sought to vent his spleen upon the younger of the two passengers, who carried a satchel. Not wishing to acquire any particular notoriety as a pugilist by engaging in a personal knock-down he avoided the man of hash until forbearance ceased to be a virtue, but the attack being renewed in front of the postoffice, the aforesaid satchel somehow became uncontrollable and with a great rapidity of action came in collision with the overzealous hotel man’s head. The next seen of the head it was making its way through one of the large glass in the postoffice show window, and for aught we know the head is going yet. The names of the parties who engaged in the melee are withheld for the reason that heretofore they .have been considered peaceful citizens.

-We an now prepared to do all kinds of plain and ornamental job printing, at as low rates as the same work can be executed elsewhere in Northern Indiana.. Seventeen years experience as job printers leads us to believe that we know what we are talking about. —Among the useful and attractive Improvements recently added to’ tpe Republican office, is a handsome eight-day clock, constructed after the style of Jeweler's regulators, supported by an elegant gothic case, made of walnut and highly ornamented. If you want to get the correct time call in. —There is but one American citizen ofAfrican descent in Rensselaer, and be is but a youth. —Merchants and tradesmen have enjoyed a season of rest for the past week. Farmers are very basy basking corn and preparing for winter. —Postmaster James has erected a handsome street lamp in front of the post office building for the convenience of nocturnal pedestrians in this part of town. Oar P. M. deserves the thanks of the public. —A wood boom is among the things most needed in Rensselaer at the present time. In a wooden country like this the price of good, dry wood ought not exceed two dollars and fifty cents per cord. At the present prices of cord wood, good wood land within three miles of this place, is worth about two hundred dollars per acre. —The first quarterly meeting of the Rensselaer M. E. church will be held next Saturday and Sabbath. Rev. Dr. Samuel Godfrey, the presiding elder, will preach at 10:30 and in the evening, Saturday, and at the same hours Sabbath. He is credited with being the most fluent pulpit orator in this conference, and will doubtless be greeted by a large congregation at each service. —Examine the date of your subscription at the end of your name on the margin of your paper and if your time has expired make an effort to pay up immediately. The day of the month and the year is abreviated as follows: “Robbins John ldec79,” which means John Robbins, December 1, 1879. “Hammond Judge ljanßO Judge Hammond, January 1, 1880. The names of subscribers are reversed in the mailing machine for our convenience—so that they can be kept in alphabetical order for ready reference. ,

ALL AROUND THE COUNTY.

BARKLEY TOWNSHIP. Hurleytown feels proud of three new houses. Several new buildings and other improvements give evidence that the good times brought about by Republican rulers is felt even at Nubbin Ridge. GILLAM TOWNSHIP. The same general thrift ia to be seen in Gillam that is everywhere else. J. Al. Poisel and Miss Liddia Nash treated a number of their friends with a wedding ceremony, including a good supper on the 9th inst. Air. Arch. Pullins and lady are visiting friends in Ohio. UNION TOWNSHIP. Alter's mill runs the last three days of each week. Rev. J. Brosket has a neat, new barn. Preparations are being made for extensive ditching, next season.

The county surveyor slipped while carrying a stone last week, and now carries his finger “done up in a rag.” | ■ , JORDAN TOWNSHIP. A general getting ready for winter is observed all over Jordan township. Gathering corn is the general order of the day. T. P. Wright, of Rensselaer, is teaching young ideas how to shoot at Heathen Corners. CARPENTER TOWNSHIP. Good corn and plenty of Republicans in Carpenter. The very few Greenbackers that still remain are so busy cribbing corn that they absolutely refuse to discuss politics. There is a good demand for hands at lair wages to gather corn. Airs. Alter is rusticating among friends iu Kansas. A vacant house burned last week in the western part of the township. Insurance agents should investigate the causes of said fire. keener township. Keener township sports a postoffice, called Keener. The first frame barn in Keener is being put up by Daniel Fairchilds. Literary society at Tyler school house every week. After traveling over a large part of Jasper county during the last few weeks the following deductions are made: There has been more real and permanent improvement in the county this season than ever before. A large number of bouses and other buildings have been put up. Hundreds of acres of swamp land have been reclaimed and much more wet land rendered tillable. Everything shows well for the future of Jasper

county.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

To be Submitted to the People Next April. The last General Assembly concurred In seven of the nine pending amendments to the constitution of the State, and provided by law that they shall be submitted to the people for their ratification or rejection at their regular election next April. No man who favors fair election; an economical administration of the government; a reduction and equalization of official salaries will oppose any of these arnendmmta. Read them a no. study their provisions: AMENDMENT NO. L Amend section 2 of article iso as to read as follows: Section 2. In all elections not otherwise provided for in the constitution, every male citizen of the United States of the age of twentyone years and upwards, who shall have resided in the State six months, and in the township sixty days, and in the ward or precinct thirty days immediately preceding such election, and every male of foreign birth of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have resided in the United States one year, and shall have resided in the State during the six months and in the township sixty days, and in the ward or precinct thirty days immediately preceding said election, and shall have declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States on the subject of naturalization, shall be entitled to vote in the township or precinct where he may reside, if he shall have been duly registerd according to law. AMENDMENT NO. 2 simply provides for striking out the words. “No negro or mulato shall have the right of suffrage,” contained in sectiou sos the second article of the constitution. AMENDMENT NO. 9. Amend section 14 of the second article to read: Section 14. All general elections shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but township elections may be held at such times as may be provided by law, Provided, that the General Assembly may provide by law for the election of all judges of courts of general and appellate jurisdiction by an election to lie held for such officers only, at which time no other officers shall be voted’ for; and shall also provide for the registration of all persons entitled to vote. AMENDMENT NO. 4 amends by striking the word “white” from ftections4 and 5 of articles 4 and conforming the same to the constitution of the United States. AMENDMENT NO. 5 amends the fourteenth clause of section 22 of article fonr, to read as follows: In relation to fees or salaries, except the laws may be so made as to grade the compensation of officers in proportion to the population and the necessary services required. AMENDMENT NO. 6. 1 The following amendment is proposed, towit. Amend section lof the 7th article to read: Section 1. The, judicial power of-the State shall be vested in a supreme court, circuit courts, and such other courts as the General Assembly may establish. AMENDMENT NO. 7. No political or municipal corporation in this State shall ever become indebted in any manner, or forpny purpose, to an amount in the aggregate exceeding two per centum on the value of the taxable pronerty within said corporation, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previons to the incurring of such indebtedness, and all bonds or obligations in excess of such amount given by corporations shall l>e void; provided that in time of war, foreign invasion, or other great, public calamity .on apetition of a majority of the property owners, in number and value, with the limits of such corporation.the public authorities, in their discretion, mav Incur obligations necessary for the public protection and defense, to such amount as may be requested in such petition. EXPLANATORY. No. 1 defines a qualified voter to lie a citizen of the United States and of the State, who has resided in the township sixty days immediately preceding the election—or thirty days in the ward. This amendment will prevent the importation of voters and place the elections under the control of actual citizens whose interests and rights are affected. It is right and just. No. 2 is,only a verbal alteration to make the State conform to the United States constitution. No. 8 abolishes the October election and provides for choosing State and county officials in November on the day of Presidential election. This amendment will save a hundred thousand dollars annually, and a vast deal of time and vexation. The work of two campaigns may be done Just as effectually in one. No. 4 is similar to No. 2, simply abolishing a dead letter. No. 6 makes it possible to regulate fees and salaries so that they shall be fair and just, and that officers will not be able to construe the law eo as to enrich themselves at the expense Of the taxpayers. No. 6 needs no comment. No. 7 restrains townships, towns and cities so that they cannot become bankrupt by excessive indebtedness. It is a wise and wholesome restriction. In fact all the foregoing amendments are so just and economical that the electors of Indiana should ratify them with great unanimity.

Having been assured by the leading citizens of several counties that thev never have seen any published notice of our claims for Royalties, or of our offer to make a discounter 50 per cent, from the Royalty of Ten Dollars each on Domestic and Farm Driven Weils, and being urged to give a more extended notice and a longer time for settlement st the discount, we have, after consultation with our principals, obtained their consent to extend the time during which infringers of the Driven Well patent in your county will be allowed the discount for 30 days from November 1, 1879. After the repeated decisions sustaining Green's patent there can be Jno excuse for further delay in settlements, ana after this liberal extension, irifnngers will have no reason to complain if, without further notice they are made to pay, not only full royalties, with heavy costs and damages. but be restrained from using the wells.
