The second annual session of the Jasper Co., Teachers’ Association will be held in the Rensselaer High School room, on Friday and Saturday of next week. A very promising program has been prepared, and the prospects are most favorable for a large And very interesting and profitable meeting. This session of the Association takes the place of one township institute, and the teachers who attend receive one day’s pay. Those who do not will not only miss the pay, but what will be a much greater loss, the benefits to be derived from the exercises.

The celebrated Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Club gave a concert in Association Hall last evening which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended it. The selections given by the Club were varied and always highly harmonious; the rich, full chords and accurate execution producing a delightful combination of sweet and charming music. The entertainment was a unique one, and those who, failed to attend it missed a genuine musical treat.-Ham-ilton Times, Hamilton, Ont, T The literary exercises of the Junior and Senior division of the High School last Friday afternoon deserve Special mention. The merits and demerits of the Australian system of voting were debated in a way that would be a credit to older heads. The “Silver Question,” “The Difficulty with Chili,” and “Opening the World’s Fair on Sunday”, were the leading topics of the day that were ably discussed in orations and essays. The other exercises consisting of declamaiions and readings were well rendered. Each individual member of this division deserves credit for the high standard of literary work fixed in the High School.

A big hunting match is being organized for Thanksgiving day, in which all the nimrods of the town and vicinity are expected to participate. All will ise enrolled in two contending companies, under the leadership of Charley Robinson and Eddy Irwin. They will leave town at 9 o’clock A. M., and return at 4 P. M., and the side which is found to have scored the most points will be declared the winners, and the losing side will have to pay for the snpper, of which all will partake, at 6 o’clock. The kinds of game most dificult to kill will c ount the most points. English sparrows, for instance, 50 points and quails 100 points. Rabbits count 10, wolves 700, foxes 500, prairie chickens 125, pheasants 150, fox-squirrels 15, opossums 17, crows 100, chickenhawks 125, musk rats 175 Ac. Ac Any persons wishing to take part in the sport will please report their names to one of the above named captains.

Wm. Kenton, of Marlborough, is the leading dehorner of Indiana without doubt. Last Monday for example, he dehorned 180 large steers, for A. McCoy, and under the disadvantage as constant rain. About a week previous he dehorned 155 head, in an afternoon. He thinks, under favorable conditions, he could dehorn 500 head of cattle in a day. He has a dehorning chute of his own invention and construction, that holds the cattle in a vise-like grip. The operation is quickly done, causes hardly any loss of blood, and is not when skillfully performed very pain-, ful, and never appears to make th animals sick. The practice is rapidly comiDg into general favor among the farmers and has no doubt come to stay. The only possible objection to the practice is on the grounds of its alleged cruelty, but people who really understand the nature of the dehorning process and also know how much pain and suffering cattle inflet upon one another, and upon other animals, with their horns, know that there is really vastly greater cruelty in leaving the horns on than in sawing them off.

A Beautiful Bridal.

The wedding of Miss Hattie Flynn and Rev. H. Y. Weaver was solemn* ized in the M. E. Church, last Wednesday evening at eight o’clock. The invited guests were many and the church was well filled, the occasaion being one of special interest, owing to the groom being a very popular minister of that church, and the bride one of the lovliest girls of the town and a gen,oral favorite. The bndal procession, preceded by the family of the contracting parties, consisted Miss Fannie Wood, and Mr Theodore Jtase, the fair bride

In her trained dress of virginal white, and her maid of honor, Miss Maud Benjamin, and last by the groom and his best man, Mr. Jesse Grubbe. The ceremony performed by Rev. T. F. Drake was particularly solemn and impressive, due not only to the nature of the bond, and the stillness of the immense throng, but the exquisitely soft and low musie, played through the entire ceremony and during the exit, by Miss Ora Duvall. The bridal costume was cream henrietta, made severely plain, only flowers being worn: those were sent by Miss Ida Gibson from Holly, Mississippi. The bridesmaids carried bouquets, of white flowers tied by broad Satin ribbons given them by the bride.

The public schools will give two days to the Columbian Exposition, said days being the fourth Friday in November, and Washington’s birthday. As the date first mentioned comes in the time set for the county Institute our teachers are puzzled to know just wbatthey are to do in the matter.

Mr. and Mrs. James Marcellus, formerly Of this place, but now of Sandwich, 111. have been most grievously afflicted in the death of three of their children, two little boys and one little girl all of whom died within two Weeks, of that dread scourge, diphtheria. They were all bright and handsome children and the afflicted parents have the sympathy of hosts of friends in this place and vicinity. A number of our citizens took advantage of the cheap rates last Monday to visit the great city of Chicago, and attend the fat stock show.

Mrs. Dalzeiris getting better but is still quite sick. She has been confined to her bed for more than ten weeks. Mr. G. W. Heileg’s handsome new house on Indiana Street is almost ready for occupancy. It is expected that the Sunday School convention which convenes here on Tuesday evening; will be an occasion of more than ordinary interest. 4W e-are led to form this opinion from reading the programme,as those whose names appear therein are all deeply interested in the Sunday School work, intelligent and earnest, and anxious to see the young people of onr land fitted for lives of usefulness and happiness, here and hereafter.

Mr. J. H. Allman spent a week with his sons and some oid comrades in Chicago. He had a delightful time and was much impressed with the magnitude of the preparations, that are being made for the World’s Fair. The Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. Church in this place is preparing a number of useful and beautiful articles suitable for Chritmas presents, which they will offer for sale on Thursday December Tenth, afternoon and evening in Durand Hall. They will suit all tastes and what perhaps is more to the point all pocket- books. Come over and make your selection. “llemingtonian.

In most eases the imitation looks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the ivarp threads, and so lacks strength, and while it sells for only a little less than the genuine it isn’t worth one-half as much.

HOVAPUZZLEWAS SOLTIS. Whqp yon want a certain article, yon want die best make of that article, don’t yon? But how to determine which make is best is what puzzles yon, isn’t it? And when the puzzle is solved for yon, by authority which cannot be questioned, you aro pleased, aren’t yon? And yon would like to hear of one puzzle that has been solved for the people of the whole world, wouldn’t you? Well, we will tell you about that very puzzle, und its solution. At the Universal Exposition of 1889 at Paris, France, the best sewing machines of the world, including those of America, were in competition. They were passed upon bya H composed of the best foreign mechanexperts, two of whom were the leading sewing machine manufacturers of France. This after exhaustive examination and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler & Wilson machines were the best of all, and awarded that company the highest prize of. teicd, the GRANI) PRIZE, giving other companies only gold, silver and bronze medals. The French Government, os a further recognition of superiority, decorated Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the company, with the Cross of the Legion <>l Honor, the most prized honor of France That is how the puzzle of the best sewing machine in the world was fully solved by the most competent authority in the world in favor of the No. 9 and No. 12 Wheeler Ji Wilson machines. The No. 9, for family nse, and the No. 12, for manufacturing usee, are the best in tho world to-day. And now, when you want a sewing machine, if yon do not get the best, it will be your own fault Ask your sewing machine dealer for the. No. 9 Wheeler & Wilson machine, and if be does not keep them, write to us for descriptive catalogue, prices and terms. Agents wanted in all unoccupied territory. WHEELEB A WILSOH MFC.
