We were a little too previous in announcing the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson as they will not go till early in May. Mrs. Walter Gumm is on the sick list with catarrhal fever. Mr. Esau" Hart has been having a serious time with catarrhal fever. William Rich left on Monday last, for the Indian Territory. Hje, will bring with him on his retuMs a lot of ponies. Mrs. Rich -wm visit relatives in Crawfordsville during the absence of her husband. Elder LeMiller, of Ivington, spent last Sabbath in Remington, occupying the pulpit of the Christian church both morning and evening. Those who heard him speak very highly of the young minister. He will probably take charge of the church iu this place for the present. Peter Parks, son of Jas. Parks, living near town, was thrown from a colt and badly hurt, last Saturday evening. Dr. H. Landon attended the young man and at last accounts he was much better.

Mrs. Lem Hollingsworth’s horse became frightened at a track that was being trundled over the sidewalk, and" broke the halter by which it was secured and started on a run down Ohio street. Before the frightened animal could be secured it made a partial shipwreck of the buggy and harness. It also overturned a young son of Harry Miller’s, who jumped up screaming loudly that he was ' killed. An examination revealed the fact that the young man was more scared than hurt Surveyor Alter, on Monday afternoon surveyed the ground where our new school house will shortly stand. The trustees were present and will commence work on the grounds at once. . -This’town is at present somenoted for the petitions that are being circulated in it There is one to keep cattle up and another to let them run at large. One to take down the barbed wire fences inside of the corporation and another to let them stand, and others on more-personal matters. Wherever a man stops he is liable to have a paper presented for his signature. Mr. Philippi’s team became unmanageable last Saturday and started in on a home stretch. They left the buggy half way between town and the Philippi farm 'in a somewhat damaged condition. Keuixgtonian.

About 10 o’clock Monday/morning flames were discovered issuing from the roof of the kitchen of Geo. Goff’s restaurant The alarm was given and-the fire engine, was quickly on the scene, but before it got there, a couple of buckets of water thrown on the fire extinguished it. No further damage was done than the burning of a hole about a foot square in the roof. The fire was caused by a defective flue. Announcement. —Miss Emma Martin would respectfully announce to her many friends, that at her new room, one door cast of Hopkins’ furniture store, Rensselaer, Ind., she is now prepared to show, in .addition ta her mammoth stock of Millinery Goods, in'wihich may be found all the novelties of - the season, a complete line of notions and ladies’ finishing goods, consisting of ladies’ knit, muslin and cambric underwear, corsets, collars, cuffs, ruchings, pink, gloves, hose, mitts <fcc., all of will be sold at the lowest possible’ prices. ; 2t. ‘ The Woody Bros, are Coming.— Secure your seats for to-morrow evening. We have seldom read stronger' press notices than those from the lo'cal papers where this company has appeared. The Woody Bros. Male Quartette is popularly known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. “Mr. M. P. Woody (the ‘old shady’ of America) possesses a double voice and is equally great in falsetto and bassy He is able to give a full programme, all alone.” —N. Y. Tribune. Miss Louise Howard will give wonderful exhibitions in whistling. State Superintendent LaFollette has written a letter in regard to the new law as to the examination of school teachers. He says: “The law exempts persons having taught six years consecutively, and who have three years’ license, so long as they teach in aby one county; but if they teach other than the branches named in (lie license for three years or drop out for a year, the exemption ceases.” This law will not relieve teachers to any great extent from the ordeal of examinations, as few of them are able to secure a three years’ license. Sheriff Randall took two convicts to Michigan City about four weeks ago, which put him to an expense of about $25 or S3O. This expense is to be paid by the state, but on sending in his bill he receives a notice that his bill is allowed but as there is no money in the State ury he cannot be paid. 'lt is a dey. plorable state of affairs when .county, officers have. to pay money out of own pocket to assist in carrying to! tlie government. It must be plainly understood that the Democratic legislature was solely accountable for this disgrace to the State, for it is certainly a disgrace when a state like Indiana cannot pay her bills.—Kentland Gazette. Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white aS snow, it strayed away one summer day, where lambs should never go. Then Mary sat her down and tears streamed from her pretty eyes; she never found the lamb, because she didn’t advertise. And Mary had a brother John, who kept a village store, and he sat downjjand smoked his pipe and watched the open door. And all the people ]>assed along but did not stop to buy, while John sat down and smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff closed him out but still he lingered near; and Mary came to drop with him a sympathetic tear. ‘>How is it sister that those other merchants here, sell all the goods and pay the bills and thrive from year to year ?” Remembering now her own bad luck, the little maid replies: “Those other fellows get there, John because they advertise.”—Ex. G C. L. Smith, of Chicago, organized a business men’s association, last l Thursday night, at the Town (Hall. Thti object of this association is jthe protection of our business tnen from dead beats, who get goods on time and never pay for them. These organizations are being established all over the country, witlf good results. A jxirson who is able to pay his debts and will not do so, is placed on the black list, and a copy qf this list is sent out to ail the different agencies throughout the country; thus warning the merchants of any town to which said dead beat may move. C. D. Nowels was elected President; E. P. Honan, Vice-Presi-dent; Chas. W. Coen, Secretary and Treasurer; F. B. Meyer, Norman Warner, Ludd Hopkins, Geo. Murray anti John Eger, Executive Committee. The organization consists of 21 representative firms of the town. Have you seen the latest spring dress goods at the Economy Store?

Though a rainy day a good sized crowd was in town to attend the first market day and sale of stock, last Friday. The parade of stallions, fast horses and blooded colts, formed at the east end of Washington street, and preceded by the Rensselaer Cornet Band, made a fine appearance as thej’ moved through the principal street and back again. A fine showing was made by Jasper county horsemen and shows what our county is (loin gjn th eway of fine stock raising. After the parade W. S. Vannatta & Son, of Fowler, held a pub lie sale on the south side of the Town Hall, of Oregon ponies, crossed with native stock. Though rather wild they were all good animals, and when broke will make good riding or ing horses. Nineteert head were sold, ranging in price from s2l to ssl per head, all of them bargains at the price. Twelve head of other horses were sold by the farmers to horse buyers for good prices. The next market day will be held on Saturday, May 4, and every month thereafter. An auctioneer will always be present and will cry off the farmers have to dispose of. Let us have a good turn out and make this day a success. t

The Lafayette Courier tells the | plain unvarnished truth when it says: “There is a certain class of persons, a small class to be sure, but none the less worthy of attention, who regard newspapers in a haughty and disdainful manner at all times except when they have some particular use for them. There are men in every commurfity who take special pains to continually coin plain of the lack of enterprise on the part of local newspapers, and yet never contribute a dollar to their support. And every now and then an ungrateful oflce-seeking politician is found who grins at and patronizes the press until he succeeds in worming himself into place, and the rest of the time he devotes to defaming the iiand that fed him. As a rule the supercilious persons w'ho are wont to sneer at newspapers are oftenest those who humble themselves and plead that their business, polititical or social crookedness be not exposed, although their misconduct is something the public has a right to know and should know. There are journals that 1 -exceed the bounds of propriety in the printing of news, but as a general thing the American newspapers are decent and fair, and are sinned against far more than sinning. If there, is anything substantial in the boasted power of the press, it is about time it was asserted, or else a confession should be made that newspapers are mere . conveniences that a class of pigheaded persons kindly tolerate as necessary evils, to be used at their pleasure and in any manner they may deem fit. We still continue to make best cabinet photoe at 52.50 per dozen.
