ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Mrs. C. J. Brown is visiting at Stockwell, Indfthis week. The venerable but still sprightly Mr. Callow, of Lafayette, is visiting his daughter, Mrs. J. G. Reynolds and family, this week. Mrs. Lecklider has a new line of ladies’ notions, also jewelry. We will announce to the public that we have added all kinds of coal to our business, we will sell as cheap as any body , Dexter & Cox. Mel Makeever elsewhere inthis paper issues a bold challenge to our two n oted foot racers. Expressed in two lines the substance of Mr. Makeever ’s challenge is about like this: Now come forward with your stuff. Or forever hold ycur guff.

- Farmers, if you want to buy a bbl. of good tiour, call on Dexter & Cox. W. A. Huff moved his jewelry establishment Monday evening, into the room formerly oecnpiedhyJ.H Hardman. The moving of the big four ton safe, formerly the property of Emmet Kanrial, ahdVKe TargesV in town, was accomplished in the forenoon, and was a pretty difficult job.' Call on Dexter & Cox when you want coal. Stop—When you get a hand-sewed, hand-sided, double-sole and tap Kip Boot for $3.00 worth $3.50. L. Hopkins. Dr’ Hartsell arrived last Saturday from his western visit. He spent s ome time visiting Dr. O. C. Link, his predecessor in the homeopathic practice in Rensselaer, at Lincoln, Neb. Dr. Link is enjoying a large practice, and what is still better, he is having excellent health. From being a man about as thin, when here, as Sarah Bernhardt is reputed to be, he has grown to weigh nearly 200 pounds. Dexter & Cox are prepared to make special rates on flour, by the barrel. Those Oak Rockers at Williams’ Furniture Store are just too nice, go and see them and take one home to your wife.

Rensselaer now has a fully organized dramatic company, the members being Messrs. O. M. Berry, C. F. Maloy, H. J. Roßsbacher,..Gus3 Phillips, Lawdie Martin, Fred Phillips, and Misses Hattie and Nellie Hopkins. Their officers are O. M. Berry, president: C. F. Maloy, secretary; H. J. Rossbacher, treasurer. The y wi 11 give a series of dramatic performances through the winter, one every month, under the able management of Wm. Phillips; every one being with new scenery prepared by Mr. Phillips, and especially adapted to the play. Their first performance will be given next Saturday evening, when they will produce George W. Boker’s great western drama, “Nevada, or the Lost Mine.’* The name of the new organization is the Rensselaer Dramatic Stock Company. We confidently predict for it a very successful career, for it is full of dramatic talent, of a high order. Dexter <fc Cox will sell you flour c heaper than any house in Rensselaer. Customers that wore out a $3.00 Kip Boot last year are coming back for the same boot this year. L. Hopkins. A very pleasant, although entirely unostentatious, social event was the marriage, yesterday morning, at 9 o’clock, of Miss Mamie Spitler, of Rensselaer, to Mr. Edward T. Teter, of Tipton, this state. The ceremony was solemnized at the residence of the bride’s uncle, Hon. E. P. Hammond; Rev. U. M. McGuire officiating clergyman. Only relatives of the contracting parties were present, those from elsewhere being Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Buckingham, of Chicago, Mr. F. D. Hearst, of Toledo, and Miss Lora Teter, of Tipton. Miss Angela Hammond was bridesmaid and Mr. Hearst, groomsman. The newly married couple took the 11 o’clock A. M. train for Tipton, where a grand reception was tendeted to them, last evening, by the parents of the groom. Miss Angela Hammond and Miss Maude Spitler accompanied them to Tipton. Mr. Teter, the happy bridegroom, is a most estimable and promising young man, a lawyer by profession, and deputy prosecutor for Tipton county. His worthy bride is the youngest daughter of the late, Thomas and Mamie Spitler, and one of Rensselaer most amiable and attractive belles.

Rev. L. Shortridge, Of Keener Tp., is a member of the U. S. pettit jury, which meets at Indianapolis, next Monday. Coal ’ Uoal! Coall It is all coal now at Dexter & Cox’s. . Tuesday evening some designing people inveigled Rev. T. F. Drake down to Mr. and. Mrs.E. P. Honan’s residence, on Front St., ostensibly to be at a “choir meeting,” and upon his arrival there he full hundred of his friends, assembled to celebrate his return to the pastorate of the Rensselaer M. E. Church. No affair of the kind could have been more thoroughly pleasant and ejoyable. Mrs. Lecklider spent last week in the qjty selecting the winter styles. She wilt hold a winter opening on the 23rd and 24th of this month. She invites the ladies of Rensselaer and vicinity to call and examine her goods. There have always been two sides to the cow question in the town of Rensselaer, and whatever be the relative merits of the situation, the time was, not mftnvyears ago, when thearguments in favor of their running at large overbalanced those against it. There was so much open and Unimproved laud lying within and directly about the town, and so much of it low and wet, and naturally producing a rank growth of vegetation, that had not the Cows kept the grass and weeds eaten down, their heavy growth would have been not only a vast breeding ground for mosquitoes, but worse still of sickness-producing malaria. In those days the übiquitous town cow was a blessing, pure and undefiled, and there being few wooden sidewalks for her to tramp over, her opportunities for mischief were limited. But now the times have changed and the Cows have changed with them. Their glory has departed their name is Ichabod, and it ought soon to he Dennis. There is but little open land left within or adjoining the town. The wet places have been drained, and the bull-frogs and b nil-rushes no longer sing and swing together m the marshes of the New Oklahoma. The public benefits of the predatory cow grow less, and their damages grow larger with every passing year. They cause the public a great expense in mending broken sidewalks; cause the building and maintaining of miles and miles of unsightly fencing within the town, thus putting the property owners to great and eyer recurring expense, and, still worse, detracting immeasurably from the beauty and attractivness of the town. Consult with any of our observing travelled townsmen and hear their evidence as to the vast improvement in the looks of a town which results from the removal of its fences, —and with one voice they will say: “The fences ought to go.” Of course there is still something to be said on the other side of the question, for there is no doubt but that many a poor family derives great benefit from the privilege of permitting a cow to graze on the town commons, and the privilege is one that should not be taken away without good cause and after full consideration.

In Memoriam.

Lewis D. Kenton departed this life at his home near Kansas City, in the state of Kansas, Aug. 15tb, 1891, aged 76 years, 10 months and 14 days. He was born in Champaign County, Ohio, Sept. 30th, 1814 and when about 26 years of age removed to Jasper County, Indiana, being one of the pioneer settlers. Here he lived for 25 years. At the close of the war he sold out and removed to Kansas, where he resided at the time of his death. He was a man of integrity and enjoyed the universal respect and confidence of all who knew him. His plain, simple, honest life, full of kind deeds toward others is the most fitting testimonial ot his worth. His remains were brought back to his pioneer home and laid to rest in the Smith grave-yard, Barkley township, sincerely mourned by his aged sister, Mrs. Nancy Smith and by many other relatives and fr’ends. — —— - • * -

REMINGTONIAN.

To Farmers Institute Vice Presidents.

The following Vice Presidents of the Jasper County Farmers’ Institute are requested to meet at the office of 24, at 10 o’clock A. M. for the purpose of making arrangements for the institute that is to be held in this county, November 24-25: F. W. Bedford, Wm. O. Roadifer, W. Myers, Augustus Stunpson, John Martindale, Jesse Gwin, A- W. Cleveland, John English, Lemuel Shortndge, Thomss Robinson, LD.Dunn, k J, Sampson, J. F. Robinson.

The Next Farmers’ Institute.

In response to request of D. H. Yeoman, president of the Jasper County Farmers’ Institute, W. C. Latta, the State Superintendant, has set the dates for the next Institute in this county at Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 24th and 25th. A somewhat later date was asked for, but could not be obtained. The dates assigned are Irather disadvantageous from the fact that so many farmers are harvesting their corn at thatlime, but on the other hand, the roads are much more likely to be good then than later in the season. Further particulars of the Institute will be given later, as soon as the arrangements are completed.

Jasper County’s Post-Offices.

Post-master Rhoades completed his examination of the county post-of-fices, last week, by taking in all of the northern offices,* which includes Fair Oaks, DeMotte, Wheatfield, Tefft, Kniman, Virgie and Stoutsberg. In his visits among these offices, in all parts of the county, he has found them, on the whole, well enough kept and giving good satisfaction to the patrons. There are now 15 post-of-fices in Jasper county, and all but three are railroad offices; that is are located on a railroad and receive and send out all their mails by rail. The three “star-route” offices are Blackford, Pleasant Grove and Pinkamink. All are located in Barkley tp., and all receive their mail from Rensselaer. The best paying office in the county, outside of Rensselaer and Remington, is Wheatfield, which pays about $260 a year; and the poorest is Virgie, which pays about S4O. All the postmasters, except at Rensselaer and Remington, receive the entire proceeds of their offices, as salary. Blackford, Virgie and Pirkamiuk have women post-masters, or post-mistresses to be more exact All the country offices are kept in stores, except Virgie and Pinkamink, which are in private houses. There are only three townships in the county that have no post-offices within their limits: namely, Gillam, Jordan and Milroy.

How To Succeed.

This is the great problem of life which few satisfactorily resolve. Some fail because of poor health, others want of luck, but the major.ty from deficent grit—want of nerve. They are nervous, irresolute, changeable, easily get the blues and “take the spirts down ot keep the spirits up.” thus wasteing money, time, opportunity and nerve force. There is no’hing like the Restorative Nervine, discovered by the great specialist, Dr. Miles, to enre all nervous .diseases, as headache, the blues, nervous prostration, sleeplesness, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, fits and hysteria.
