Rensselaer Republican, Volume 20, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 July 1888 — Children's Home. [ARTICLE]

Children's Home.

The Children’s Home of Cincinnati, O , since 1854 has cared for almost eleven thousand children, for the time they have needed it. About two thousand of these have been placed in country homes, many of whom are, now good citi-z-jas, some holding prominent PQsitions in their communities. Sir. Green, who is to come with the party to Ilensselaer next Wednesday, the 18th, not only places the, child in its home-, but visits it afterwards, and if the home or the child are not suited to each other the family is not obliged to keep it. And friends of the child who may remain can only hear from it through the Home, and know nothing whatever of the whoreabouts of the child. Everything possible is done to secure the comfort and wellfare of both the child, and the family taking it. Come and see Mr. Green and his nice little company, the afternoon of the 18th, at the Makeever House.

The Rochester Republican of last week, has the following mention of the new railroad now building across Indiana along the line of the old Continental;. What has heretofore been known as the Continental Railway, and later as the .United. States Central Railroad, running from some point east to Omaha, is now styled the Ohio, Indiana & Missouri River Railroad Company, with headquarters at Fort Wayne. A paragraph from a letter written by Mr. A. A. Purman, the attorney for said road, received by Mr. J. T, Hutton, a contractor at this place, reads as follows: “We put 400 extra men on this division, Monday, making now 1,400 men. I cannot reach ymir.nity thin do I now expect to get there until after the 7th of July. I am compelled to go over the nntire Ohio division, and besides we are arranging tor the consolidation. But at the vegp earliest moment I will visit your city.” It is probable that at no distant day the officers of the proposedroad will make a tour through Indiana to ascertain the amount of aid that can be secured, after, whioh theywill- conclude upon the line of the road.
