NEWS AND PERSONALS.

Mrs. Mary Watkins, of Chicago, is visiting at th® Paxton place, in Newton township. No Taffy Hebe:—Millinery at cpst, until all sold, at Hemphill & Honan’s. Miss Jennie Miller’s eye is much improved, and there- is now good grounds for believing-that it will soon be permanently restored to a healthful condition. The Town Board, at their regumeeting Monday night, did little more than to order the Marshal to repair side-walks, and see that the streets are kept clean of weeds and grass. The Odd Fellows installed the following officers at their regular meeting last Tuesday evening: N. J. F. Antrim, V. G., J. A. Yeoman. Sec., J. R. Vanatta. Treas., C. 0. Starr. Elmer D wiggins is collector for a banking firm in Chicago and Jay Dwiggins and Caleb Hopkins are working in a comfort factory, and Bennie Fendig is bell boy at the Briggs House, in that city. The relatives of Isaac Newton Paris, lately deceased, tender their most grateful thanks to their friends and neighbors for their many kindnesses upon the occasion of his long sickness, and death and burial. A- , ■ 8 • JMr. J. Goudy, s former resident of this place, but now the Auditor of Rush county, was in town several days last week. His family -were with him. Mr. Goudy has had a very successful career ever since &e went to Rush county. Mr. Jackson Phegley, of Marion tp., who has long been suffering from a severe affection of the kidneys, has lately returned from a stay of several weeks at Hot Storings, Ark. He derived little or no benefit from his treatment there, we regret to state, Mr. Geo. C. Hoover has returned from his stay at Hot Springs Arkansas, considerably improved in health, from his rheumatic troubles, course of baths in the famous medicinal waters of that place, although not entirely cured. He thinks of returning there when the weather gets cooler. The Festival to be given in Makeever’s building, tonight, is the first affair of the kind ever gotten up by r the ladies of the Missionary Baptist church. Having never asked for any such favors from the public before, they ought to receive liberal encouragement T. J. Farden’s one year’s term of service as Superintendent of the M. E. Sunday school was remarkably successful. At the time he assumed the position the membership numbered but 36; but at the expiration of his term it numbered 124; with an average attendance, during the last three months of the yeai, of 99. Mr, G. W. Castlen. of New Richmond Ohio, but lately postmaster at Rose lawn, was in town last Friday. Mr. Castlen is an extensive property owner in Rose Lawn and vicinity, and lately had a large stock of merchandise there, but owing to the necessity of giving his attention to his extensive property interest, at New Richmond, he has lately shipped his goods back to that place.

Church Festival.—The Ice Cream and Raspberry Festival to be given by the ladies of the Cullen street (Missionary) Baptist church will be given this (Thursday) evening, July 9th, in the vacant store room, in Makeever’s building, formerly occupied by Sears’ furniture store. The festival is given for .the benefit of the Baptist Bab* bath school. The public ate earnestly invited to attend. 0 " Ponsler & Co., mourn and refuse to be comforted, in that the huckleberry pickers, clad in rainbow hues, have disturbed, frightened, alarmed, annoyed, stampeded and Scared out of several years’ growth generally, the cattle which browse upon their thousand, more or less, hills and swamps. They don’t care a cent for the berries, but it grieves them to their hearts to have the peaceful "meditations of their horned quadrupeds rudely * disturbed, and they therefore invite their neighbors to forego the rfjjathering berries inside

The Rev. Charles Rice, pastor of the Cullen street Baptist church will hold services next Sunday. For Rent:—Good rooms Picture Gallery or office. Enquire of Hemphill & Honan. Lost. —Sunday evening, June 28th, a lady’s chinchilla shoulder cape. Fihder will please leave- at Republican Office. Bottom Prices For Cash:—No. 1 Farm Harness, hand made, for $25.00, x. c. or j. p., at W. H. & C. Rhoades’. At the late election of officers for the M. £. Sunday school, J. F. Warren was chosen Superintendent, and Miss AMce Irwin Assistant Superintendent. Mr. Mardian S» Appleby, law student with Thompson and, Bro. returned last Friday from a visit with his relatives at Rossville, this state. He had a severe spell of sickness during his absence. I am in earnest. I want to close out- my present stock of goods. Every customer who visits the Ladies Bazar for the next thirty days, will get a good bargain. Mollie W, Babcock. Mr. J. W. Roberts, lately a law student with Thompson Bro., was in town over the Fourth, but went to Kentland Tuesday,; It is his present intention to make a AV ester ii trip soon, we are informed. • ■ > .. , The Chicago & Great Southern wilt place on a passenger train shortly. The track is in fine sb ape and the train will make good time. The surveying parties are working south, to locate the road for its southern extension, —Oxford Tribune-. Dr. F. P. Bitters ard wife, of Rensselaer, spent a few days at Akron and this place, visiting their numerous relatives and friends* The doctor is well established at Rensselaer, and has a large and profitable practice. —Rochester Sentinel. I have in stock 250,000 ft. of lumber, one half larger stock than any any other man in the county. f. am willing to sell this lumber On -small margins. You can save money by getting my prices before j ou buy. 2t R. P. Benjamin. The Rev. T. C. Webster, of th>e M. E. church, intends to spend Sunday with the Rev. Tindall, pastor of the Day ton andMui berry churches, helping him receive into full membership a large number of converts of last winter's revival, some two hundred in number it is* said. The Town Board still persists in maintaining the liver-jolting and profanity-provoking step-offs, at the street and alley crossings, although we have no doubt but that nine persons out of ten would prefer a sloping walk, instead of the steps. The Rev. George W. Hutchings, the Colportuer for the American. Bible Society, has returned to this place and will now proceed to make a thorough canvass of the county, for the purpose of disseminating bibles and testaments among the people. He tells us that he is interceding with the Methodist Bishop, in charge of this state, to order a camp meeting held in Rensselaer.

The Rev. B. F. Ferguson now walks with a crutch and cane, and makes slow and painful progress, at that. While in the act of getting into his carriage last week, in front of his lumber office, he stepped into a hole in the sidewalk and badly sprained his ankle. It is a bad sprain and there is just a possibility that one of the small bones of the ankle is displaced, and will eventually have to be removed. Through some oversight, the sad news of the death of Miss Jennie Gant of Union township, did not reach The Republican until the present week. She died on the 4th of last month, at the residence of her father, Mr. Noah M. Gant, of the above named township. Miss Gant Was a most estimable and at jaractive iyoung lady, and a large circle of relatives and friends deeply mourn her sad and untimely death. She was one of the best known and successful school teachers es the county, and in that capacity had gained a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The cause of her death wm wuiuwpd«».

The Chicago & Great Soutlierfi Ry. Co. can display more dishonesty and meanness to a lineal foot than any corporation of equal size existing.. Their last act wbs to tear up the switches and ‘‘Y,” under the cover of darkness, Monday night at Goodland. The cause is supposed to be antipathy against the citizens of that place. Kentland Gazette. There is said to be one lawyer in heaven. How he got there is not positively kdown, but it is conjectured that he passed himself off for an editor and slipped in unsuspected. When his dodge was discovered they searched the realms of felicity in all their length and breadth for another lawyer to draw up the papers for his ejectment, but they couldn’t find one, and of course he held the fort.—Ex. A wandering, drunken bummer, whose name we have not learned, raisel particular Sheol at the Jones Ranch, near the depot yesterday, and some members ot that interesting family beat him out of all resemblance to himself. A broken nose and numerous bruises and contusions is a brief summary of his injuries. Deputy Sheriff, Gaut went up last evening and corralled the whole family, including the dbg; but none except one boy apd the fair daughter Mary i were locked up. There is good prospect that Washington street will soon be further improved by the removal of an old wooden building and the erection in its place of a brick business building. W. B. Austin has nearly completed the purchase of the lot now occupied by Dr. R. Y. Martin’s office, with the view to the- immediate erection of a business room thereon. It will be of brick, one story in bight, 20 feet wide and SOTeetdeep. It will be a great improvement over the present structure now occupying the lot. The Rose Lawn people had a splendid celebration. It was atattended by avast crowd of people, gathered from all over the northern portions of Jasper and Newton counties, and the southern ends of Lake and Gen. . Jasper Packard was th® chief orator of the day and made a fine Independence Day Oration in th® morning, and gave his well known and greatly commended lecture “Opening of the Mississippi” in the afternoon. Daniel Fraser, Esq., of Fowler, also made an address which was much commended. There were vs riouS*other features to the celebration, including a bower dance, and fire-works. Our diminutive but brisk and handsome young friend, Jerry Haley, son of Judge Haley, was in town over the Fourth and Sunday, but returned to Frankfort, bis pi esent residence, Monday morning. He is clerking in a big restaurant there —a magnificent establishment, and on a scale so large that the soda fountain alone cost 81,800. Of the other former residents of Rensselaer who went to Frankfort, Jerry reports that Sam Rogers still has charge of the big cemetery there and that he has prospered so well, that he has bought a lot and is building a house. The versatile Frenchman, Levino, gifted but erratic, went to England some months with good promises of returning, but with little prospect of so doing. His wife was left in charge of a small and unprosperous store at Frankfort; but the creditors soon took the goods, and Mrs. Levino returned to her former place of residence, Lowell.

The Teachers Selected.

Since the resignation of Mr. Kirsch, the School Board has had no less than fifteen applications for the superintendency of the Rensselaer Schools. Prof. F. W. Reubelt, of Noblesville, has finally been chosen for the place. All the subordinate teachers have also been selected. The following is the complete list, with monthly salaries: Superintendent, F. W. Reubelt, of Noblesville, SIOO. Principal of High School, Miss M. MA Hill, of Carthage, $65. Third Grammar, Isaac Reubelt, Perkinsville, SSQ. Second Grammar, Miss F. G. Pym, of Cambridge City, $45.

WBT THE UOUJMBDS WATCH IS TECH BEST. The Main Spring Barrel is com pletely coveted, making it more, nearly dust proof than any other. The Regulator is nearly double. the length of others, rendering accurate regulation a very simple matter. \. To replace a broken Main Spring the Barrel can be removed without removing the Balance or interfaring with the regulation. The Hair Spring Stud is so. formed that two or more coils of - Spring cannot catch in the Regulator Pins and cause the watch to, either stop or gain time at an unusual rate. The Balance comes under the. .round, ox edge, the strongest phrt of the case, not as all others, in the center and under the weakest part. These are improvements that cannot be claimed by any other manufacturers. There are other advantages which the watchmaker can readily explain, and once seen, all must agree in Faying that it is the strongest and best watch in th< world. »hlo b uyinir and carrying a C'olatn bus Watch you will save the price of an ordinary watch in a few years in repairs alone, to say nothing of the in convenience and delay of repairs.
