PERSONAL AND OTHER MENTION

Tom Farden is talking up a County Sunday school convention. David J. Thompson is off on a fishing excursion, somewhere in Michigan. ' Mrs Jay Williams and her little daughter are visiting friends in Valparaiso. “Boys! cheese the racket, on your ball playing in thb streets” say the Town Council. Mr. D. L. Richardson and family have moved into their pleasant new house on Cullen street. County Superintendent Nelson was over attending to the duties of his office, Monday and Tuesday. R. S. Dwiggins is at Lake Petoskey, on the shores of Lake Michigan, engaged in the pleasant pastime of catching fish. Prof. Brown’s Normal institute, in Gillam tp., is meeting with very gratifying success we are pleased to learn. Sheriff J. W. S. Ulrey, of Newton county, took jn Sells’ show last week, and the next day went to Monon to see the president. Mrs. Ward Anderson, of Morocco, is visiting with her sister, Mrs. D. C. Hopkins, and other relatives and friends in Jasper this week. Bert Small, of Idaville, Ind., is canvassing Rensselaer and Marion township, for the “Golden Censer,” a very readable and instructive book.

Mrs. Eva Kirsch, of Crawfordsville, wife of our newly appointed school principal, was in town to visit the School Board last Tuesday. * David C. Warren has become a “counter jumper” as he calls it, having accepted a situation as salesman in Willey & Sigler’s Trade Palace store. President J. K. Lee, of the R., R. & St. L., Railway, came to town last evening. He speaks very encouragingly of the prospects of our new railroad. Robert Kepner, after three years of faithful service as janitor of the school building, has received from the School Board the title of ‘ Hon.” and been re-appointed for the ensuing year. Mr. John Miller, formerly of this place, now in the employ of the Travelers’ Insurance Company, with headquarters at Minneapolis, Minn., visited his wife’s relatives here this week.

Miss Ella Thompson who has been visiting friends in Rensselaer for several weeks past, started for her home in Higginsville, Mo., Tuesday, but will stop, upon the way, to visit friends in Illinois. “Mine Host” of the Makeever House is doing a rushing business at these limes, and, consequently, though his name be Blue, his feelings belie his cognomen. On Circus day, it is reliably stated, 362 square meals were stowed away in his caravanserai. The friends of Mrs. J. M. Troxell, of Union tp., gave her a very pleasant surprise party on July 29th, that day being her 35th birthday. An elaborate dinner, music, games, presentation of gifts &c., helped to make the occasion enjoyable. Misses Libbie Watkius, of Chicago, and Mollie Oldfield, of Cincinnati. are visiting at Mr. Paxton’s place in Newton tp. Miss Watkins is an accomplished aitist as may be seen from specimens of her work in Mr. Kannal’s drug store. A beau tis ally painted plaque and a crayon portrait of a child being on exhibition there. The venerable Mr. 8. F. Healey, a former well known resident of this vicinity, but for a number of years past living in California, is in Rensselaer visiting friends. Mr. Healey is the father of the late Col. Healey, and of Mrs. Madison Makeever. Mr. and Mrs. Healey have returned from California permanently, and expect to make their future home in White c^un-,

“There She Blows.”—Mr. Hyland fired up in his mill and got off his whistle this morning for the first time. He will be ready for grinding next week we are informed. This is about the season of the year when it is in order to make the regular semi-annual announcement that ,J Mr. McCoy is preparing to build his big brick block, and we are happy to be able to inform the public that he is now “figuring on it.” A Mrs. I. S. Wade, daughter of Mr. Rial Benjamin, still lives but in a state of suffering to which death would be a mercy, and in which, seemingly, prolonged existence is impossible. Mrs. Wade’s mother, Mrs. Benjamin, and her sister, Mrs. J. T. Randle are at her bedside now in Lafayette. Ex-Prisoners of War are notified that their annual meeting will be held this year at Indianapolis on August 15th, instead of during Fair week in September, as heretofore. The new school building at Rensselaer, which is almost completed, is a commodious and imposing structure and one of which her citizens may justly feel proud. —“Remington News.” Some of the good people of Union tp., are kicking vigorously against the proposed location of a new school house in that township. It is said that the County Superintendent will be called upon to settle the difficulty.

In accordance with the new law the Township Trustees met the County Commissioners last Monday, and made their annual settlement. Besides attending to the trustees’ business the Commissioners made several orders in regard to bridges in various parts of the county. Last Friday, a week, in the Review office, at Fowler, Ed. Wallace allowed his right hand to be caught in the job press, and it was crushed and bruised to a very serious extent. Dr. Bottenberg was. called to attend to the injured member, and was so affected by the sight of blood that he fainted and fell upon the edge ‘of a table, cutting his forehead and nose badly- ■ < •» ■

“We Didn’t do Nuthin to ye.”

The Enterprise in referring to the base ball game lately played between the Bensselaer nine and our home nine, used the following words: “Guess the Rensselaer boys won’t want to tackle our Michigan City club again.” The Rensselaer Republican takes serious exceptions to the above language and calls it “unkind” and “unjust,” and further intimates that the Rensselaer nine were not hospitably treated .while in this city. And to get even with the Michigan City boys, the Rensselaers now dare our nine down there to play them, and threaten, that if “the boys from the sand heap have sand enough to accept the challenge,” to treat them in the most hospitable manner possible, which of course will include not beating our fellows. Now, as for the loeal in the Enterprise, if it was unkind, we can assure the Republican and the Rensselaer boys too, that it was not so intended, and we sincerely regret that the wording of it admits of any such construction. As for the treatment of the boys, of course that did not come within the regime of the Enterprise, yet we know it was the disposition not only of our home nine, but also of our citizens, to give them all the respectful attention possible, and that they were in any way mistreated, must be a mistake, unless they construe their defeat as discourteous* We hop®, however, for the sake of the reputation of our own nine a> well as out of respect to tho feelings Gs the Rensselaer boys to have a chance to entertain them again in Michigan City, when we promise to do all in oui power to make due and proper amende for any mistakes we may have made during thtir first visit to our city.-Mich iganCity Enterprise.
