The old soldiers of Jasper are /taking hold of the re-union buisness with a right good will, and with the generous co-operation of our •citizens are going to make it a splendid success . Our brethren of the press in the district, and towns around, are requested to notice the announcement of the Executive committee, in this issue of The Republican.

The mail carrier, who is also the contractor, on the new postal route between Rensselaer and Kout’s •Station, got on a bad drunk, V ednesday, while in possession of the mail sack. After wandering about .for several hours he was finally found by Mr. James out on the Hanging Grove road, several miles from town. Mr. James took the mail bag from him, and, in accordance with the provisions of the law in such cases, discharged him from the service. Tom McCoy bought his mustang; “Daddy” Cotton “soaked” his sulky for a board bill, and the mail service between Renslaer and Kouts is temporarily suspended.

The recent attack of Mr. John G. Gulp upon 8. R. Nichols, through the columns of the Sentinel, and which want of time prevented of notice last week, must be disposed of in few words. While Mr. Culp in his letter professes to regard slander as one of the very greatest of crimes, yet his sole object in writing is to lead people to believe that Nichols charged the county, and was paid, the exborbitaiit sum of s4l> for supervising the bridge acr<7Bß Hilf when he, as an intelligent man and a readef of the county papers, knew perfectly well Chat Mr. Nichols only received $lO. No moie tnau a fair remuneration

for his time and wouble. Mr. Culp kno'ws that immediately after the appearance in the Sentinel of tbe article signed ‘‘Tax Payer”, and to which be refers, that Mr. Nichols procured from Auditor Nowels certificates signed with his name, and stamped with the seal of his office, showing that of the s4l, 'drawn by Mr. Nichols, S2O was paid to Geo. Haste, for lumber, and $lO, to P. Eldrige for work; also that Mr . Nichols paid one dollar to Mr. Nowels for plans ond specifications for the bridge. “Tax Payer” may not hdve been aware of all these facts when his letter was written, and for him there is some excuse; but with Mr. Culp, the case is different; for him ‘there is no excuse. He has had abundant opportunity to know the facts, and undoubtedly does, yet without daring to say directly that Mr. Nichols received s4l, clear money where she really received but $10; he labors to create that impression. Mr. Culp’s best friends are the people who should most regret his action m this matter.

At the lecture of Prof. Bloss, Tuesday evening, which was largely attended by citizens as well as teachers, the treatment accorded to him by the county supdrinte ndent, Mr. Nowles, was generally noticed and com mended upon. In presenting him to the audience he was introduced simply as “Mr. Bloss,” no mention being made of the fact that the audience were about to listen to the state superintendent of public instruction, the head of the public school system of Indiana, and Mr. Nowels official superior, and after the lecture and upon the streets Mr. Nowels seemed to avoid any opportunity of presenting Mr. Bloss to teachers or citizens. We hope and believe that these things were the result of inadvertency upon Mr .Nowels’ part because they were not what Mr. Bloss, or any other gentleman, would have a right to expect under the circumstances.

The Jasper county fair opens Tuesday, Sept. 12, and continues four days. The officers of the association, we are assured, are doing all in their power to make the fair a success and a benefit to the county. Every public sprited person in the county, men, women and children, can help to make the fair a snccess if they will; and what they can they ought.

The diversified contents of Demorest’s Magazine for September make this a highly entertaining number. There is something in it to please all tastes. The lovers of the serial will find the continuation of the “Admiral’s Ward ” interesting: while those who prefer shorter stories cannot fail to be pleased with “Mascot, the Match Maker,” and “Esther’s Love story.” The biographical sketches of “Carmen Sylva,” and ’‘Friedrich Frobel” are admirable; and not less so is Jenny June’s “Girl of the period,” The various departments, including “Current Topics,” “Fashion,” “Household,” and “Home Art and Home Comfort,” contain much that is instruct! ve and entertaining; while the illustrations are excellent, the oil picture, “A Soul to Heaven,” being quite a work of art.

There is an order from the Adjutant General, G. A. R., Departant of Indiana, to forward the of all Soldiers, who are buried in Jasper County and that have no to.mb stone to mark their last resting place. McPherson Post No. 84 G. A. R., has detailed a committee to attend to this, and the people all are earnestly requested to send the n ame, regiment, date of death, and such other data as will be of use to the committee, of any so 1 diet whose grave is unmarked, to the Adjutant, McPherson Pc- 1 a A T? This is as it should be, there are many of our boys sleeping in almost unknown graves, here in the North as well as at the scene of conflict in the South and n is our uaty to bee that their graves are properly mui'keU. Goverment fur-

nishes the stone, free of all expense, and the Post will see that it is placed properly. Please do not pass this idly by, but should any one know of a soldier’s grave that is unmarked send a postal, or letter, to the above address, and thus aid in showing proper respect for our Dead Heroes.
