Archie Grubb, a former Monon section boss at Rensselaer, and an older brother of Jesse Grubb, formerly express agent at this place, died Sunday at his home in Greencastle, this state. He had been sick a long time, with consumption. He leaves a widow and several young children, and in very bad circumstances financially. The deceased was a member, at the time of his death', of the Rensselaer lodge of Odd Fellows, and to his membership in that benevolent and fraternal order was due much mitigation of the financial distress of himself and family during his long sickness.

In one of the eastern cities last lest week a number of ladies were assembled at a sewing party. Before retiring to their respective homes one of .the ladies remarked that she had to go early as, she had a “democratic badge” to make for her husband. This astonished the other ladies and brought anxious inquiries as to what was meant by a democrat-, ic badge. “Well,” replied the lady, “my husband has not had a day’s work since the democrat party came into power, and by sitting on dry goods boxes, he wears a hole in the seat of his pants nearly every day. I know Of no better name than a democratic badge.” The other ladies concluded, that the name was >pt and each wondered that she had not thought of it before. *

There has been decided boom in the matrimonial market, during the last week or so; as witness the long list of marriage licenses, elsewhere printed. The viewers and engineer in the proposed gravel roads in Marion tp., have finished their report, and commissioners have designated March Ist as the date of the election. There is no great change from the previous report, except that the estimate of the cost is very materially increased. For Sale :—Thoroughbred Light Brahma cockerels, at $1 each, if taken soon. 4tp O.

The vein is 18 inches thick in some places, and said to be much thicker in others. It is very doubtful if there is enough coal to make the discovery of any value. It is not such a surprising thing that a little coal should be found in the locality for the geological map of the state shows a narrow and forked layer of coal-bearing strata passing up through Benton county, from the coal regions further south, and one of these is traced almost to Wolcott, on the map.

An exchange conveys some downright good advice to the young men of to-day in the following: “Boys, when you speak of your father don’t call him ‘old man.’ Of course you are much older now than when you learned to call him father. You are much smarter now than you were then, you are much more manly looking. Your clothes fit better, your hat has a more modern shape and your hair is combed differently. In short you are ‘flyer* than you were then. Tour father has a last year’s coat and a two-year old hat and a vest of still older pattern. He can’t write such an elegant note as you can and all that— but don’t say the ‘oldman.’ Call him father. For years he has been rustling around to get things together; he has been held to the thorny path of up hill industry for years and the brightest half of his life has gone forever. But he loves you, though he goes along without saying much about it, and if he knew you were bad it would be the hardest burden he has to bear.”

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Daniel Fraser, of Fowler, is holding court, as special Judge, as Judge Wiley is still unable to be present. Of the six or seven divorce cases on the term docket, none are likely to come to trial, this term. In one of them, that of Henkle vs Henkle, from Carpenter tp., the parties have become reconciled, and have moved to Beni on county. The Rensselaer case of Barrick vs Barrick was before the court Tuesday, but was continued to the March term. In the meantime the plaintiff is ordered to pay 160 to the defendant, with which to make her defense. The plaintiff has filed a new paragraph to his complaint, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment The former charge of infidelity will probably be Free sample copies of the Weekly Inter Ocean and New York Tribune, at Thk Republican office.

THE MILK CHUROH MEETING

Uncle Alfred McCoy is now the happiest man in 17 counties. It has long been his desire to get hold of some songs that would answer Joy “hymns” for his milk church Songs on the general subject of dairying, and matters thereto related. He has searched all the book-stores from Dan to Beersheba and and from Baltimore to Chicago, and written to the publishers of the Dairy papers, but nary a “milk church” song could he find or hear tell of. But Uncle Mac never gives up a thing he starts in for, and he made up his mind that if there were no milk church songs in existence, then some must be written, and he then did what he ought to have’done in the first place: Called upon our own Jasper county poetical genius to produce the songs. It was done, and lo! He has three as charming little songs as you may see in a day’s journey, and they are especially adapted for milk church singing. They have been adapted to familiar tunes, and were sung with great success, at the annual creamery meeting, at the court house last Saturday afternoon. The “Milk Church” choir being right along up “In line with all the rest” as their names will prove: Misses Genevieve Huffman, Mattie Robinson and Carrie Eger; Messrs. John E. Alter, Dal Yeoman, Ernest Wishard, John Healy with his fiddle and Will Wishard with his horn. They made splendid music and it is Uncle Mac’s intention to take this choir with him in his Milk Church evangelizing tours around the county and territory adjacent Their repertoire of songs will probably be enlarged by the addition of several more from the same source as the others. We had hoped to be abk to publish the three songs already written, but the author willed it otherwise.

Still Open.

The Republican's remarkable offer of three papers for $2 00 or two for $1.75 did not close with the year 1893, but it will not .be open indefinately, as our contract with the Infer Ocean and Tribune is limited. Those who want these papers on these unusual terms should secure them now and get the benefit of them while they have time to read.

POLITICS NOT ALLOWED AT THE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE.

Editor Republican —We see in last weeks issue of the Pilot, an article upon the sul jects to be discussed at the Jasper county Farmers* Institute, and in his article he leads off on matters that are, more properly speaking, political in their nature. The writer signs himself “A Farmer.” Now were Farmer writing about some subjects to be discussed at a public meeting, his article would be all well 'enough, but the rules governing these institutes positively prohibits political discussions in any way They are for the purpose of discussion as to the way to secure the best results from crops, the different methods of preparing the soil, of planting and tending after planting, and statements as to the results that the best methods might be adopted. So every farmer should be present, but must leave his politics at home, as it will positively not be allowed. David H. Yeoman, Pres. C. D. Nowels, Secy.
