Ohio Street wiJJ be ready for occupancy in a few weeks. . The carpenters have pushed the work rapidly. Those having the work in charge are making strenuous efforts to have the new school house completed by the stipulated time. The delay—if there be any—will probably have to be charged to the R. R. Co., as it was difficult at times to have the material shipped and on hand when needed. Mrs. W. F. Bunnell and her sister, Miss Elda Boyce left on Wednesday last for a visit with friends m New York, James Locke returned last Saturday from a trip to France, bringing with him some fine and valuable young horses.

At last accounts Mr. Jones was doing as well as could be expected. The three months old child of Mr, and Mrs. C. Bellisle was hurried last Thursday, the cause of death being cholera infantum. Mrs. E. W. Culp is slowly recovering from her long and painful attack of typhoid fever. The physician m charge, Dr. H. Landon, pronounces her out of danger. She was not informed of the death of her daughter Mattie, until last Friday. The Methodist church in this plaee now presents a very handsome appearance. The walls and ceiling are frescoed in a beautiful and highly artistic manner, and the wood-work painted and gilded with harmonizing colors. The artist, Mr. Peters, is a gentleman with whom it is a pleasure to transact business. Luther Patton and Merle Fisher the two young men appointed to scholarhips in Purdue University from this township, left for the purpose of entering the school last Thursday.

Average yield of grain: Oats, 35 bu.; wheat, 12 bu.; rye, 15 bu.; corn, (approximated) at 30 bushels per acre, hay If tons per acre. The people of Fair Oaks are greatly elated over the prospect of the return of the machine shops and yardmen on theOoal line.

From OeMotte. Threshing is almost over. A splendid rain the first of last week brought haying to a standstill, but helped pasture and corn. The oats crop was never better in this part of the county than the present yield, and if frost does not come for two weeks the corn crop will be good

The people of Benton county are much dissatisfied with that provision of Moses Fowler’s will which forbids the sale of any of his lands in that county, for twenty years. There are some 20,000 acres cf this land, all in a body, and all good land, and it is justly felt that it will be very detrimental to the social and business interests of the community to have such a large body of land possessed only by a shifting and uncertain tenant population, for so long a ])eriod, instead of having the land sold and the possession of those who would have a direct and permanent interest in improving the land and building up a good condition of society around it. As usual, A. Leopold’s stock of Fine Clothing is now complete and anyone who will take pains to examine the goods, will at once see that he had an eye to business in the selection of this mammoth stock of elpthing, which was bought in the Eastern markets, and at prices that will not fail to secure their sale. This clothing is all warranted to be as represented. Call soon and select a veal fine suit of clothing, in any style, at prices that cannot fail to please yon. A. Leopold, The Fashionable Clothier.
