Not Wanner but Wartcna

It was a Republican election; nerr.- 'a New York Mill be? redeemed next month, and Indiana in 1888. „ -C. Agitate roads question. We need them woT&--t'ha‘H” anything else' in the world—unless it is religeon. ■ Jk JWW’JM -fl The final reports as to the effects of the early frosts show that in some parts of the county the com' crop was much damitgo. In the southern end of the county’, especially, there are many fields that were nearly ruined, by them. The one and two dollar notes are great conveniences to people who wish to send small sums of money in letters, and is a piece of unspeakable stupidity upon the part of the Administration to withdraw them from circulation. In July the grand jury of Newton county made a very unfavorable report upon the condition of the poor farm of that county, and in the present term of court the grand jury has reported exactly to the contrary, and. says the farm is well kept and the inmates M-ell cared for. The general officers of the L. N A. & C. lailroad are making an inspection of the' entire road this -week. Their special train, containing tip President, Wm* Dowd, General Manager Carson, Director C. R. Cummings and other leading officers passed the Rensselaer station going south on Monday at noon. l Dr. £ Leonard prophesied positively on the evening of the election, that the prohibition vote Mould certainly 7 be 40,000 and over, that if anything.

Orth H. Stein*issued the initial number of a new Sunday paper in Lafayette last Sunday. The name of the new venture is “The Copici’,” and like the celestial luminaries of same name, it is brilliant but thin. It would seem that there was scarcely room in Lafayette for a third Sunday paper, but it may be however, that its mission is to supplant the pernicious Sun-, day Times, jf S o all good men should pray for its success.

It has long been known to a number of persons that the correct spelling of the name of the man now in the Jasper county jail awaiting trial for the murder of John Dfeger was not \V artner, but Warte'na, and is now so written in the court papers, and so printed in the docket. The pronounciation is nearly the same in both spellings. the accent being upon i the first syllable and the vowels in the other syllables being obscuiely sounded.
