On Friday evening, of last week, quite a number of the old residents of Rensselaer met at the residence of Mr. F. W. Bedford, just east of town, for tlffi , purpose of doing honor to Mrs. Bedford’s GTth birthday. Although the party was a complete surprise to Mrs. Bedford, she, and her able assistant, Miss Lizzie Warner, her grandaughter, were quite equal to the occasion, and before the guests took their departure they were incited to regale themselves upon a ! supper, which, in the language of one who was there,-was “as fine as mortal man ever sat down to.” The guests all spent an unusually pleasant evening, and, departing, left behind them many mementos of their good will towards the estimable lady, in the shape of handsome and valuable presents.

The “Bad Boy” to-night. An immense display of Jewelry at H r.rdinan's. “7“ Eleven notices of application for saloon licenses appeared in the Fowler Review, last week. The Benton county people must be a drouthy set. Still a Bigger One—Another big sunflower, also the progeny of Thi? Republican’!? big one of last year, was brought into this office yesterday, by Mr. Frank Osborne of this place. It is about the finest we ever saw. The Rensselaer Cornet Band gave us some very fine music before starting to the Remington Fair, but Sears’ Jumbo Furniture and Carpet House is the place for bargains, “and don’t you forget it.”. Being alone in the store it will be impossible for me to make a display at the coming fair, I cordially invite the public to come in and get prices and examine goods before buying.

Combings made up. Mr. J. W. Duvall has just put a handsome cornice on his brick building, and greatly improved its looks thereby.

The Hon. I. D. Dunn, the Republican candidate for Representative, was in town Saturday. Be was ou his wav home to Kankakee township, from Louisville, Ky., to which place he had just been, on business. While there he made a contract for several hundred tons of hay, large quantities of which commodity he puts up on liis big farm!. The Rev. Norman Carr, Financial Secretary of The Franklin, Indiana, College, a baptist institution, was in town over Siinday and, preached two excellent and interesting sermons at the Baptist church. —He also got iff some good work in soliciting financial aid for the college ab-.ye named, a fact which we are glad to be able to state, as we believe it to be a thoroughly deserving institution.

At a meeting held at Center school house, in Barkley township, last Friday evening, sound Republican doctrine was dealt out to a good sized audience, by- W. W. Watson, of Rensselaer, and S. R. Nichols, of Barkley. A Blaine and Logan club was organized*, with a membership of about twenty-five. The officers of the club are as follows: President, S. R. Nichols; Vice president, Jas. H. Cowden; Secretary, James Payne. “To such base uses may we come, Horatio!” , The organ belonging to the Blue Ribbon temperance society of Rensselaer, has been carried “by rude hands of violence” to the Democratic head quarters, m Makeever’s new block, and there", made to do service for the party which, in this state at least, is the open ally and tool of the Liquor League, and which, iu its state platform, is the avowed eoiemy of prohibition. Many of our- people have already had the pleasure listening

to the oratory oi the Hon. W. W. | Curry, who speaks at the court house next Monday evening, and i they all unite in pronouncing him one of the most pleasing and instructive speakers they ever listened to. He is a scholar and a thinker, deals in facts rather than rl o oric, appeals to reason rather than prejudice, and discusses principles rather than men. He is especially well at home on questions of iinance and the tariff. We earnestly counsel all who can to go and hear him. He will tell you many things worth knowing, whether you agree with his political opinions or not.

Mrs. Sadie Laßue. A Correction. — By a slip of the pen in our sketch last week of Mr v Powell, the Republican candidate for Treasurer, we stated his age, when lie joined the army for his four years of hard fighting, at twenty-oiie years, whereas we should have written seventeen years.
