Th© gioh fe < t <lis tu rb an ce k n own Jo Jb'imsehmr for the past 60 days lorn been caused by a reduction of of 13 d >ll irs (>- ■ t m on fence wire on account of B. F. Ferguson who is willing to sell goods on a living profit. The Creamery barbecue won’t hold a candle to the corn motion in financial circle that this reduction has caused our Brother in the wire fence trade of Rensselaer. I want" every farmer to read the following letters and then come and see me: Crawfordsville, Ind. Oct. 20, ’9O. B. F. Ferguson, Esq. Rensselaer, Ind. Your favor of the 18th with draft and order duly at hand. We thank you very kindly for your trade, but we find your method of selling the wire has caused so much disturbance that we must decline to sell you. We trust you will appreciate the situation. Thanking you for your business in the past wfe remain, Yours Truly, Indiana Wire Fence Co. Enclosed find order and check reur ned.

The rapid growth of our town has heretofore been very much retarded by the fact that the vacant land and lots surrounding town has been owned by non-residents and held at prices which were not justified by the size and prospects of the town. Realizing the fact referred to, a company of gentlemen have formed a corporation known as the •‘Rensselaer Land and Improvement Company,” whose object is to furnish to buyers, lots at reasonable figures. The company now owns 238 lots in all portions of Rensselaer, which will be sold to suit purchasers, in price, location and terms. If you desire a lot or a home don’t hesitate because you have no money. The Building and Loan Association has plenty of money on hand with which to build. Why pay rent when you can own a home? o Chicago is but 50 miles from us with its millions and quarter of people, and the fact that Rensselaer is destined to be considerable of a town is undoubted. Did you know you can get a home for the same amount that you pay out month after month in rent? Parties desiring lots can call on or address any of the following gentlemen: Alfred Thompson, Wm B. Austin, M. L. Spitler, J. T. Randle, Addison Parkison, Geo. H. Brown, Sr., or H. O, Harris. J

OBITUARY.

Chas. Officer Monnett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Monnett. born Aug. Bth, 1869, at Philo, 111., died Oct. 16th, 1890, at the family residence, north Of Rensselaer. He died about the 3rd watch of the .night with all the immediate members of the family by his bed side. He knew of the nearapproach of do'hnnd was ‘‘Only Waiting.” The lingering illness of several months tog' ih- r with a perfect Christian resigniaß.n h■><! brought

him to the sublime spiritual! bight of the Apostle Paul who sttidl “F<>r to me to live is Christ but to die is gain.” His few last 'lays on earth Were a fitting close to a pure (md holy life. He was perfectly submissive. He was one of the few yoking men who escape all evil. So far as is known his record is above reproach. A noble Ife the brevity of which is compensated by its excellence. It is not how long we live but how well.

Charlie has been a faithful and consistent member, of the church since he was 1 4 years of age. He was somewhat retired—a man of deeds rather than of words. He was a perfect gentleman, never failing to gain the affections of those deserving his friendship. The funeral services were conducted on Sunday at 10:30 at Xhe family residence by Rev. I. I. Gorby. The large concourse of friends who followed him to his last resting place in our peaceful cemetery, was a fitting expression of the esteem in which he was held.
