There is considerable complaint about the street lamps not being lit these dark nights. The people have been patient over the matter, but their is loud talk now to the effect that if the electric service can’t be bettered we had better get back to gasoline. Thick darkness by night and thicker dustiness by day is the rule of the ancient and moribund town of Monticello. Nothing but a couple of good newspapers saves the old place from passing into a condition of absolute inanition.

There was another phenomenal fall of rain in this vicinity, on Friday night last. The rain continued all night, and the amount of the rainfall was almost beyond belief. According to many reports received the storm extended over a wide scope of country. The storm was followed by another of considerable magnitude Saturday night, and, the results of-the great fall of water can scarcely fail to be very injurious to crop prospects—especially to the corn—many fields of which are entirely submerged.

A road grading contest took place on the range line road, Saturday, June 7th, between the Austin Steel Reversible Road Grader and the Ft. Wayne Steel Reversible Road Grader in the presence of the officers of the Town Board. The contest was made for the purpose of proving which was the most advantageous for the Board to buy. The Austin grader was represented by J. Shonwilker, of Raub, Ind., and W. T. Buswell, of Kentland, who handled their machine so easily and with so much less draft that the Board purchased one, at $250. This grader can be handled and adjusted with much less work, than any machine ever introduced at this place, while its light draft is truly wonderful. The President of the Town Council says, with one of these machines he could make a Boulevard. \

G. K. Marshall, editor of The Reiut;u.a\n, and Misses Minnie Bartoc and Stella Griffin, left Monday forenoon to join the Indiana Republican Editorial excursion, which started from Cincinnati, Tuesday morning, over the Chesapeake <fe Ohio railroad, in a special train. The general route of the excursion will be along the Kentucky side of the Ohio river, into West Virginia, then southwestward along the picturesque and historic Kanawha river, to the famous southern mountain resort, the White Sulphur Springs. Thence through the grand scenery of the Blue-Ridge, to Natural Bridge, a “world wonder not made by hands.” The city of Richmond will then be visited and after that the route is to the great sea-side resort, Old Point Comfort,

with Fortress Monroe, Hampton Roads, and Norfolk navy yard, in close proximity. Many native battlefields of the.late war will be visited on the way. From Old Point the route is a steamboat trip up the Chespeake Bay and Potomac river, to Washington. There the excursion will disband, and the members return home, at their convenience. The excursion will travel by day and stop over at interesting points at night, thus affording the members opportunity to see all the country traveled over, and also avoiding the fatigue of constant travel. About five days will be occupied on the journey to Washington, and The Republican man and his companions will probably remain there a week longer, seeing the sights and visiting friends. “The Child’s Life of Christ,” is the title of a book for which Miss Edie Wilson has the agency in Rensselaer. It is evidently a work that veritably fills a great and long-felt want, and fills it well. The ground plan of the book is to tell in language comprehensible to the minds of children, the entire story of the Gospel. It is a large and shapely volume and in appearance will be an ornament to any center-table, even in its cheapest binding. It has nearly 800 large, broad pages, is printed on excellent paper and is well and substantially bound. The printing is especially designed for children and old people, the type being very large and clear, and with wide spaces between the lines. The book is made more attractive and valuable to young readers by several hundred illustraof which each occupy an entire page. Also four beautiful full page colored pictures, maps Ac., not to speak of nearly a hundred beautiful initial letter designs representing as many different plants of Palestine, “From the Cedars grown upon Lebanon to the by sop on the wall.” The animals and fishes of Palestine also receive full attention, as well as the natural scenery and architectural features of that most celebrated of earth’s regions.
