COBRRSTONDRRDENEC

From Remington, Mrs. Walter Rieb, of Kankakee, is visit ing relatives and friends in this place. — l — Charles Bonner returned last week from a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Alison Fell and family, in Englewood, HI. Elder Riley, a theological student from Irvington, Ind., was the guest of Hon. Robert Parker and family over Sunday. He occupied the pulpit of the Christian Church both morning and evening. A number of teachers and would be teachers accompanied Prof. Dickerson to the Co. capital last Monday morning. Judging from the program the Institute promises to be unusually good. Miss Twannet Parker spent last week in Remington, returning to Indianapolis on Monday. We are truly glad to state that she is being much benefited by the treatment at the National Surgical Institute in that city. Dr. Hershey will give his celebrated lecture, “Success in Life”, on Monday evening next in Durand Hall. All who can should certainly hear this entertaining and instructive lecture. The young brakeman, Jacob Wagner, who was so badly injured last Tuesday morning is getting along comfortably at the home of his parents in Logansport. The physicians have hopes that they can save the injured arm. Among the many from other places who renewed old friendships at the fair last week, were Mr. and Mrs. John Major, and son Wilfred, of Michigan City, and Mr. W. A. Hollingsworth of Ellsworth, 111. Robert Love and wife arrived last Tuesday for a visit of two or three months with parents and friends in this place. Although Mr. Love is very feeble and tired from his late trip, lie is slowly getting better, 1 ’ and now indulges a reasonable hope of a complete recovery; a hope which is shared by many anxious friends. Some fourteen or fifteen of our young ladies and gentlemen will leave Remington in the near future for different institutions of learning. Miss Daisy Reed and Masters Frank Hardy and Bert Shepherd will leave for Chicago this week under the careful chaperonage of Mrs. Shepherd, where they will pursue the study of music under the best teachers to be found in the city. We shall expect to hear wonderful accounts of this trio as they are all musicians of far more than ordinary power and ability.

Rensselaer Public School.

The Public School commences Sept. 7th. No boy or girl of school age can afford to be absent the first Monday morning. For the young, school is a business.- The merchant fails who is not at his place of business early and late-*and every day, so in like manner the boy or girl fails who is not in his or her seat diligently at work from the first Monday morning to the last dav of school. Itiultthatldrtheßoy Bandgirlsbf school age in Rensselaer will pack their books and march gladly to the school building at the ringing of the bell Monday morning, Sept. 7th. Parents should be awake to the fact that ours are systematically graded schools and any departure from their graded system will, in the course of a very short time, undermine their organization and reduce them from first class schools to second or third class schools. Therefore, parents who wish the schools to maintain their present high standing and their children promoted from one grade to the next higher should understand that their Children must be in school the whole year and do diligent, earnest woi'k. The Indiana School Books will be distributed at the school building. The Board has ordered that all books must be paid for before they are taken away. Pupils coming in from the country will be assisted in. securing board at reasonable rates by speakiDg to me. Again I earnestly solicit regular and prompt attendance throughout the school year. There will be a Teachers’ Meeting in the Superintendent’s Office next Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Very Respectfully, Howard L. Wilson. p— Ladies’ g enuine hand-turned shoe $2.50 to $5, at Hemphill A Honan’s. Everything clean and new. Dry Goods, Clothing, Hats, Caps, Boots and shoes. Ellis <fc Murray.

Jasper County's Assessment

Connty Assessor Mills was before the State Tax Commissioners, last week, Wednesday and presented some very cogent reasons why the realestate assessment in Jasper county should not be raised 10 per cent., but the increase was njade however, regardless of his arguments. The average assessed value of Jasper county lands in 1890 was SB.BB per acre. This year the average assessment was increased to $7.38 per acre; and 1 adding to this the 10 per cent, increase just made by the State Board, will make the average assessed value $8.12 per acre.

This gives a, total increase of about 109 per cent, over last year’s assessment. In addition to this, it must be remembered that the last legislature increased the rate of state taxation to the extent of an additional 6 cents on the SIOO valuation. The final result of all these facts will be that the Jasper county taxpayer who has heretofore been paying $2.85 per year in state and state school tax on property assessed at SI,OOO, will hereafter pay $8 per year state and state school tax on the self same property.

The County Teachers’ Institute.

The Jaspei County Teachers’ In stitute is now in annual session, at the court house. It is ably presided over by County Superintendent Warren, and well instructed by Charity M. Dye, of the Indianapolis city schools, Supt. H. L. Wilson, of the Rensselaer schools, and Supt. Dickerson, of the Remington schools.

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AEDIA BRITTAÑICA.

The Encylopaedia Britannica covers every department of knowledge known to mankind. The Encyclopaedia Britannica is the most complete reference library the world has ever seen. The Encyclopaedia Britannica is the highest authority on every subject, being the result of the labors of more than 12,000 leading scholars, each one a master specialist in his class, and a recognized authority on the subject of which he treats. It has been said of the Encyclopaedia Britannica that “if all other books should be distroyed, the Biile excepted, the world would have ost but little of its information. The President of Yale College aas said ‘ He will defy any one to juy 3,000 volumes which will give lim as good a working library as is furnished in the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.” The authority of the Encyclopaedia Britannica has never been questioned in any Court of J ustice in this country or in Europe. Lawyers take it into court to speak from it or quote it, with the same assurance that they would from a law book. The difference between the Britannica and all other Encyclopaedias consists in the fact that all the great subjects, of which there are 3000, are handled as a complete treatise, just the same as if you purchased a book on a particular subjectj written by one of the best authors in the world. The Encyclopaedia Britannica has 600 Americnn writers and authors on American articles alone; whereas Appleton’s which claims to be the most “American” of all Encyclopaedias has less than 260 writers for the entire work. As an educational factor in the home, no work in the language is so important and valuable as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It covers every subject in every department of knowledge. It answers fully aDd authoratively every question that can be asked. The high cost of the Encyclopaedia Britannica has heretofore been the great bar to its popular use. The English Edition cost $200.00 per set, and the American Edition $125.00 per set in the cheapest binding. These prices have almost compelled people to purchase the cheaper and poorer Encyclopaedias. But a revolution has occured. The Publishing House of R. S. Peale & Co., of Chicago, believed that if this great “Digest of the Libraries of the World” could be made low enough in price, everybody would buy it. They have therefore reproduced the entire work in 25 volumes, with all the illustrations and new and better maps, and offer it at the marvelous price of $1.50 per volume.— Chicago July 22. This is to certify that Mr. G. C. Bruce of Rensselaer Ind., is our authorized Gen’l. Agent to receive orders and appoint agents for our new wide margin edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. We commend Mr. Bruce to the good opinion of all with whom he may come in contact. Yours Truly, R. S. Peale & Co., [By R.S. Peale, Pres.]

BROOKSTOB’S CASHING FACTORY. And >V by Not One For Rensselaer! 1 "The following regarding the new canning factory at Brookston is from the MOnticello Herald. The canning factory at Brookston commenced work last week, and it was a great event for the town and community. It furnishes employment for 150 to 175 hands and a market for a vast amount of garden products. A resident of this place who visited the factory informs us that everything about the establishment is as neat as a pin and, from what he could gather, its prospect for an immense b usiness is extremely bright. Four car loads of its products had already been sold, aud the 500,000 empty cans on hand soon to be filled indicate the faith of the stockholders in their investment. Two brands of tomatoes are put on the market by this company— the “Eagle” which is their best grade, and the “Grand Prairie,” second grade. Their brands of corn are the “Eagle” and Tippecanoe.” Nexlyear they will add peas to their products, which will enable them to begin operations earlier in the season. This establishment pays out S9OO to SI,OOO per week in wages, to say noth ing, of its expenditures for farm products and working materials. It may well be considered a healthy acquisition for Brookston. All May Notice That the Bartoo Photograph gallery is small, but there is no small work done, notwithstanding that the owner is somewhat small, too. Better work is not produced outside of the large cities, with better effect of lighting, and beauty of finish combined with a natural position; all of which go to make a picture what is most desired. Call and see for yourself if this is not so.
