Court Notes.

S. J. Bentley, P. M. of the newposl-office of Be Motto, in Keener township, was in down Monday. ' ••• Chas. Swearengen, of Lafayette, the Board of Trade, at the Makeever house. Mr. and Mrs. J. Greenfield, of Las Vegas, Naw Mexico, are visiting with Mr* Moss, Mr. Greenfield’s sister, this week. .+«»■. » C. G. Sears has purchased the property on the northeast corner of Washington and Van Rensselaer streets, now occupied by Dr. Link. The price paid was $2,400, or S4B per foot. ' Bob. Phillips has removed his barber thop from the Makeever house to the MaReever building, further down the street. The room formerly occupied by him will be used by the Board of Trade. Neither time or money have been spared in the effort to make the Fourth of J uly celebration in Rensselaer a success. The fire works alone will cost sixty dollars. Messrs. C. Sprague and J. W. Rtbjnson, of Giilam, dropped in on us Monday. They report the outlook for crops as rather discouraging. Too wet to cultivate the corn, and the Hessian flies are after the wheat.

Mrs. M. B. Alter and daughter, True, are visiting relatives in Pontiac, 1.11. Misses Belle and Olllie, who ha've beeu visiting at the same place for several weeks, will return home with their mother the last of this week. Sixty dollars’ worth of fire-works, and other things in proportion. The glorious Fourth is a big thing and Rensselaer will have its share while it’s going, and don’t you forget it We think this much, at least, may be said in favor of the nominees of the Democratic convention of last Saturday: they are gentlemen eminently deserving of all they are at all likely to get. ■ Charley Price assured his brothers in the Democratic convention that ‘(no grass would ■grow uuder bis feet” between the time Of t(ie convention and the fall election, ’lbia will lie sad news for the eatile men of tbe County for Charley’s feet cover a wide scope of territory. The festival at the opera house Saturday night by the ladies of the order of the Eastern Star, was well attended and was a very pleasant affair, and brought a goodly number of shekels into the treasury of the order. The. Hon. W. D. Owens who will deliver the principal oration at the Rensselaer celebration, is one of the most eloquent and interesting speaker m the State, and those of our readers who fail to hear him will miss a fine treat. Mr. M. B. Scott, the oldest settler in Kvnkakee township, calleJ on us last Saturday. • Mr. Scott has been a mighty hunter in his day and generation, and claims to have killed 1003 deer during his life, ■and thinks he can beat any living man shooting with'the rifle at sixty rods.

A post G. A. R. has been established at Francesville, with a muster roll of 76 members. M. M. Gordon is commander of the post. Recruits are desired, and all loyal soldiers who can make it convenient to do so are invited to join them. —’ . ■ mm ••• mm The increase of the tax duplicate of Rensselaer the past year is $54,708. The duplicate for 1881 was $369,128; 1882, $423,836. Two per cent, of the latter would permit the issue of $8,476 worth of bonds for the purpose of building a new school house. Pauly Bros., who have the contract for building the jail in this place, have their men at work on the grounds. The fine wood-work and iron cells have arrived, and as soon as the foundation can be put in, the brick work will be commenced. The Fowler Republican, erstwhile the Eye, has “goneglimmeringdown the dream of things that were,” The proprietors of the Era have taken it in and done for it. In life it was lovely and in debts it is somewhat divided, as the Oxford Tribune assumes part of the obligation and the Fowler Era the rest. The great sympathetic and muscular ByEtem, on which full and healthful development depends* kept from growing flabby aad inactive bj.using Browns Iron BitUrs.

I. O. O. F.—lroquois Lodge No. 143 elected the- following officers at their regular meeting Tuesday evening of this week : Chas. F. Overacker, -N. G.; Ezra C. Nowels, V. G.; George-Sigler, Secretary ; L. C. Grant, Treasurer. Rev. Samuel Campbell, who preached on the Rensselaer circuit about 34 years ago, will preach at the M. E. church, morning and evening, next Sunday. Rev. Campbell is well and favorably known by many of the older residents, who will be glad of this opportunity of hearing hini again. Mrs. Rachel Martin of Troy, N. Y., writes: “l have been a widow eighteen years From overwork and the cares of a large family I have for many years been ailing from rheumatic pains and severe idigesiion. Oils and liniments only eased my pain. I took many remedies internally, hoping to find permanent relief. My next door neighbor; Mrs. Perry, told me to try Brown’s Iron Bitteis, and that it had cured her of dyspepsia, irregularities, I did so, am) have not suffered an achtWr pain since using the first bottle, nor has indigestion troubled,me in the least ” The heavy storm of Sunday afternoon, and the protracted rain of the the following night did great damage to the already discouraged farmers ot Jasper county. The finest fields of wheat have suffered great injury, while the sodden condition of the land makes it impossible to clean the cornfields of weeds. i—» -O- 1 - - Why need the Democracy go into White county for a candidate Ur County Recorder? Do tb y think that the party in Jasper county does not possess a man of sufficient orains for that position? Are they not aware that the statutes require a man to reside in th% county at least one year before he can be elected to any office?

Gray hairs prevented, dandruff removed’ the scalp cleansed, and the hair made to grow thick by the use of Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair ilenewer. The Blue Ribbon society held their Inst week’s meeting on Friday evening instead of on Saturday evening, as usual, in order not to interfeie with the 0. E. S. festival. A large part of the published programme was deferred until the next meeting in order to give time to Elder Ramsey of lowa, wbo addressed the meeting at considerable length. The Elder is an earnest and effective speaker and his remarks were very well received. i The calls for Senatorial, Judi cial and Representative conventions will be found in another cob umn. The delegates from Jasper county will cast 13 out of 40 votes in the two former, and 13 out of the 25 in the latter. We hope the delegates will go into the convention unbiased and seek by a prudent canvass to present for our suffrages a strong,' able and honest Republican for each office. Tbe place of residence of the candid te is not so important as that he may be able to make a winuing race, and be, when elected, a discreet, industrious and faithful officer. “It’S nO USe,” «*y» t|j« despondent dyspeptic. But it is of use. Your sufferings can be rebeved; thoiunnd? have beeb cured, and you can also. Broken down, desponding victims of dyspepsia, liver complaint., fever tind ague, rheumatism, nervous debility or premature decay, will find in Simmons Liver Regulator a vegetable specitfe which readies the source of the trouble and effects an absolute and permanent cure. It regelates the liver, dispels despondency and restores health. The Unterrified Democracy met in solemn concluvo Saturday afternoon at the court house. That marvelous Greenbaeker, E. 0. Vowels, was re nominated for Auditor as t* matter of course. Nat. Bates of Rensselaer received the barren honor of the nomination for Circuit Clerk, Jas. Randall, of Barkley, for Treasurer; J. W. Duvnll, of Rensselaer, for Sheriff; Cling. Ford, of Carpenter, for Recorder; Chns. Lowman, of Marion, for Surveyor; S. Healy, of Rensselaer, for Coroner.

Canfield, a 14 year old from Giilam plead guilty of petty larceny and was sentenced to the reform school at Plainfield; to which place he was taken by the Sheriff last Tuesday. The case of Mary L.
