Willey & Sons’ big new advertisement, in another place. They there have something import-1 ant to say. J _ I According to the Fowler Era, Judge P. H. Ward intends changing his place of residence at an early day, and is likely to locate in Fowler. Buy pure teas and fresh roasted coffee at C. C. Starr’s. We roast our own coffee as needed, consequently have no old, stale stock. a Mrs. Bowman and her sister, Mrs. I Crozer, of West Liberty, lowa, returned home Tuesday after a week’s visit with their aunts the Misses Smith. ? J, ■ - The assertion needs no proof, that “Henderson’s Hand-made" Boots, a factory all wool Blanket, and genuine Yarn is cheaper to buy than trash.” LuddHopkins. C. F. Wren has retired from the firm of Nowels, Wren & Co., and intends removing to California,; or some other western state, within a short time.

Low grade, trashy goods, do not meet with favor. Our Hosiery, Flannels, Yarn, Boots & Shoes come direct from the manufacturer. ':?’ I Ludd -Hopkins. The Rensselaer Stock Farm trotters did only fairly well at the State Fair. They took two second places and one third. This week they are at Vincennes. Look at Leopold’s 5 and 10 cent counters. Numberless articles,can be found there, at those prices, worth five times the amount in value. Attorneys Hammond an d Thompson went over to Logansport Monday to be ready for the everlasting Turpie vs Lowe case, set for trial on Tuesday. The Bargain counters at the Trade Palace are filled with just such goods as every one’ wants, and they are real bargains. Call and examine for yourselves.

Congressman Owen could not get away from Washington until the filibusters were busted, and therefore i was obliged to cancel his appoint ! ments in Newton county. The line of Overalls, Jeans and Cottonade Pants for men and boys, at the Trade Palace, is the best ror. the money, to be had in Rensselaer. F. M. Hanley, the livery man, had the misfortune to lose his fine young Cleveland Bay stallion, last Friday, by spasmodic colic. The horse was valued at 11,200 and had in fact been traded to another party for that valuebf other horses, but had not been delivered. He was insured tot 1500,

Fcndig. ’• Dr. Bitters was called last Thursday evening to set a broken arm for Mrs. James Shnidler, Of Newton tp. The injury was the result of a fall Yrom a wagon. The break is in a I bad place, being very near the wrist. See Willeys’ big new “ad. ’ on j another page. People needing anything in my line, should take advantage of this rare opportunity. R. Fendig. Dr. M. B. Alter had the misfortune, ' last Wednesday , to, lose his finely bred mare, Dora B. from sickness. He has had bad luck with his horses ■ this year, having lost another valI liable mare earlier in the season. David and Goliah went out to i have a fight. Father Abraham went' out to part them. They both shook hands and then they made friends. And they hired a buggy and drove to Hemphill <fc Honan’s and bought each a pair of shoes, because they were barefooted; ’spect you had better do the same. The Rensselaer Stock Farm is preparing to make a big sale, Thursday i Oct., 30, at which they wil 1 sell at auction about 40 head of their finely bred young trotting stock. The sale will be a big event. We have just received a large line of the celebrated Seitz, Schwab <fc Co’s., boots and shoes, sot fall and winter. Also a fine line of J. W. Gookey’s fine kip boots, for men and boys, and every pair of them fully guaranteed. J. H. Willey & Sons. Uncle Lewis D. Kenton, of Kansas, who is still visiting his Jasper county friends, was 76 years old Tuesday (although be don't look it, by ten years) and his friends to the number of 100 gave him a grand surprise party, and dinner, at Aunt Nancy Smith’s, in Barkley tp. It was a most successful affair. You can buy a good flour at the mill for $1 per 50 pounds. Come and try it. See the big new double column advertisement of the enterprising firm bf J. H. Willey & Sons, in this paper. The campaign has opened m downright earnest, and political speeches will now come thick and fast. The first noted orator to come to Renssei elaer, is Hon. W. W. Morrow, congressman from California. He will make a Republican speech at the court house next Saturday evening, Oct. 4th. He ought to have a crowded house. I New hats for -everybody, just received at the Trade Palace. ReMember.—Mrs. Lecklider’s millinery store and dress-making establishment is one door east of the post-office, and directly opposite the public square. Thirty days have passed since the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago has had an accident worthy of mention, and the traffic over the line was never i heavier.

Indiana Series of school books, on sale at Spitler’s post-office book store, at the prices establisned by law. For 30 days, 4 to 5 pound blankets, all wool, $2.50 per pair. Ludd Hopkins. There was some excitement down about Liberal Comer, last Saturday forenoon, caused by a number of ladies of the Presbyterian Industrial Society, getting upon the roof of a rear portion of a building, and doing a job of roof painting.

The first really sharp frost of the season occured last Saturday night, Sept. 27. Some late fields of corn, especially in the northern portions of the county, were badly damage d but for the most part the crop was too well ripened to suffer any. A large crop of good corn is now a certainty in Jasper county. The gas and oil prospectors in Gillam tp., appear to have abandoned the place altogether. They have completed two wells, evidently without any favorable results. It i$ understood that the principal reasons given for their discouragement is the extreme reluctance of the land owners to give the prospectors the customary oil leases. The Northwest Indiana M. E. Conference is held at Crawfordsville, ithis week. Rev. R. M. Simmons, of the Rensselaer Circuit, went Monday to attend the examination of applicants for ordination. Rev. T. F. Drake can not attend the conference on account of the desperate condition of his wife’s health. Two deaf and dnmb chikitenwere taken to the state Deaf and Dumb Asylum, foreducation, last Thursday, by Trustee Greenfield. They were Mrs. Clemens little girl and Jakey Wright, Robt. Kepner’s grandson. The children’are each nine years old. The girl’s mother and boy’s sister also accompanied them to the asylum. The County Auditor this week makes publication of the election precincts, as required by the new law. Voters ip Marion, Carpenter and Barkley townships should give a careful reading to the notice, so far as it affects their own townships, in order that they may know in which precincts they belong, and where their voting places are. The voters of Kankakee township will also perceive that their place of voting has been changed.*

“Comrade” Sam Yeomen and his partner, Geo. Davidson, are doing a wholesale hay-cutting business up in the vicinity of Fair Oaks. Up to the end of last week they had put into the stack upwards of 500 tons and expected to make it 80(1 before they quit. They sell the hay for $2.00 a ton, in the stack. They work a force of about 14 men. Work is now in progress on seven new residences in different stages of completion in Rensselaer, and on additions and repairs to several others, also on a large creamery building and a church. There is therefore no cause for any of the building trades mechanics to kick their- heels on the store boxes. There is work for all, and all are at work. The Town Board held a special session Saturday "night, to let the contract for the construction of the stone culvert over Makemself ditch, on Main street; they having concluded that to delay letting the contract until their regular meeting would make the work rather- late in the season. Two bids- were received, one from W. W. Reeve, at $3lO and one from James Maloy, at $330. Reeve got the contract. The culvert will be similar to the one on Front street, near G. 11. Brown’s plcae. A very notable wedding took place at Morocco, last Sunday afternoon. Uncle Ward Anderson, well 1 known in Jasper county, and Miss Melissa Goodale, for many years past an inmate of Mr. Ludd Hop* kin’s family, in Rensselaer, were the contracting parties. The jovial bridegroom was 80 years old, last May, and his fair bride is at least 50 years his junior. The happy young couple spent Monday night with the groom’s nephew, J. W. Duvall, and Tuesday attending U D. Kenton’s birthday surprise party, at Mrs. Smith’s, in Bartdey township.

Rev. Ernest V, Claypool, formerly of this city, but lately of the West Layfayette Methodist church, surprised his many friends last Sunday quite ptehsantly and completely. He had invited his uncle, J. J. Clay-> pool, to occupy his pulpit and at the close of the service stepped into the audience to where Miss Nellie Matley was sitting. Leaning on his arm they advanced to the altar where their marriage vows were said The wedding was a total surprise to the congregation and The Times takes extreme pleasure in echoing the many cohgratulations showered upon them* that day and since.—Delphi Times J. H. Willey & Son will not be undersold in the clothing line.
